One of my favorites, great introduction to X-men on to the big screen. Hugh Jackman as wolverine was amazingly cast. Oh and Patrick Stewart as Xavier was perfection! Story itself was ok and some of the lines were pretty cheesy unfortunately, otherwise it would have def gotten the full stars.
83
White Noise 2005,  PG-13)
White Noise
Not a super scary movie, but I like michael keatons performance in it. The DVD extra's are actually a bit scarier as they look at real life ghost investigations.
84
What Lies Beneath 2000,  PG-13)
What Lies Beneath
I'm am partial to harrison ford and michelle pfeifer, but i think this was a wonder movie, very hitchcockian in style. well acted and filmed.
85
Stir of Echoes 1999,  R)

Not really all that scary after the tenth time i've seen it. but the acting is excellent, and just creepy enough for fun.
86
The Number 23 2007,  R)
The Number 23
I'm biased for Jim Carey in his dramatic roles. But the suspense an mild twist was nicely done.

The Dead Girl
Wonderfully done movie. short stories intertwined. sad and painful, but empowering.
88
Children of Men 2006,  R)
89
The Frighteners 1996,  R)
The Frighteners
Its one of Michael J. Fox's last good movies. Dark humor, funny, and surprisingly good story line.
90
Beetlejuice 1988,  PG)
Beetlejuice
Just one of my all time favorites. Great starting roles for so many people in this one. Winnona Ryder is of course amazing as her dark goth morose character, but Geena Davis and ALec Baldwin are adorable as the dead couple who show her that theres more to life than death.
91
The Truman Show 1998,  PG)
92
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004,  R)
93
Scrooged 1988,  PG-13)
94
Jumpin' Jack Flash 1986,  R)
95
Stand by Me 1986,  R)
Stand by Me
THis is probably my favorite SK movies. Just amazingly written and acted. One of the best coming of age movies ever.
96
Pan's Labyrinth 2006,  R)
97
Watchmen 2009,  R)
Watchmen
I'm not a comic fanatic, I'll read my best friends from time to time, which of course I borrrowed his Watchmen novel. I liked the story overall, that superheroes aren't perfect and are just as screwed up as the rest of us with their poor self-esteems and getting lost in past failures. I was quite unsure how the transition to film would be accomplished.

It ended up being amazingly good. Now if you haven't read the story I can see where the bad reviews will come from because there are some details and depth that the movie can't quite portray even in that extended film time of almost 3 hours.

The movie is quite close to the comic book, though die hard fans of course will be quite upset with the minute changes in the story and the big change with the ending, but I believe that the overall storyline and meaning was preserved.

Overall the characters were casted well. Rorschach was the best cast, but unfortunately his character wasn't developed as much as i hoped during his therapy sessions. Patrick Wilson as Night Owl II and Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre II were awesome together, great chemistry and wonderful akwardness as it was meant to be. Jefferey Dean Morgan as the Comedian was rock solid. There was only one character I actually wished they had deleted and that was Veidt's poorly done cgi lynx hybrid. In the story its basically his only person he can trust, but in the movie since there isn't time to explain his love for his pet, the pet just seems oddly out of place.

Lastly I'm tired of hearing about Dr. Manhattan's penis, its crazy that people are more offended over that appendage than the gore and graphic violence that saturates this movie. Its just a big blue penis get over it.

Just watch the movie and think of what its like to be you, to be human, to be part of the world.
