50 First Dates

Two stars out of four. I think I lost brain cells wathcing this. It was funny in a few palces, but most of the time I was wondering when it would end. At least the ending wasn't too bad. Basic Synopsis: a guy tries to date a girl whose memory resets, to the day of an automobile accident that injured her, every twenty-four hours.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Two and a half stars out of four. It's good as far as romances go, but I hate romance movies. Strictly for saps, in my blunt opinion. Basic Synopsis: A magazine writer makes a bet that she can get a guy to break up with her in 10 days or less, as an example of the common mistakes women make in relationships; what she doens't know is that the guy she hooks up with has bet that he can get any woman to fall in love with him in tiime for his company's party.

V For Vendetta

Four stars out of four. Holy, this was a good movie. Excellent action, explosions, drama, excellent everything. The distinct liberal slant can be forgiven in light of the rest of the film, in my opinion. Since we're on to politics here, let me just say that I am against homosexual marriage, I have my reasons for that, but I am not a discriminator. Anywhat, yeah, if you're offended by homosexual content, skip this film. There isn't much, but I know how some conservatives are. It's really the principle of the matter, though, in this movie. It isn't about whether homosexual relationships are right or wrong, or various other right/wrong issues, it's about freedom from tyranny and oppression, and having the courage to, as Jars of Clay (one of my favorite bands) said, "be a revolution". Basic synopsis: England has become a Nazi-like state, or, for a better example, think of "1984" or a Ray Bradbury story. There is only one man who dares oppose this government in order to change the nation, and he must resort to terrorism to do it.
