Holiday Leftovers
King Kong
I like that the word "popcorn" is now an acceptable adjective, as shown by many reviews of this movie. It seems to mean "mindlessly entertaining" or "hungry" or both. The ape in question is both and more.
Roughly 60% of the movie is a lone face on the screen with big eyes. Jack Black shoulders a lot of this burden, while everyone prefers falling into Naomi Watt's cool blue pools of ocular beauty.
The other 40% is intense. P-Jack seems to like it when things get their heads stepped on or when bugs overpower everyone in the theater.
One scene in particular that will stick with you is when the ship's cook gets fangoriously devoured by glatinous phallic leeches, known to the Kong crew as "meat weasels." It's just about as graphic as The Aristocrats.
Popcorn joins peaches, hams, and clams in the food-as-adjective hall of fame.
The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Why did they start this franchise with the third book? I'll never know.
The CGI beavers out-acted the kids.
Think Lord of the Rings, Jr. With a heaping side of Christ.
I was on Vicadin and it was midnight.
It's worth seeing.
Walk the Line
Smokin hot. This is how Ray should've been done. The story is slick and focused and it really kicks.
There are tons of parallels between Ray and Johnny, right up until the blindness: they both struggle with the loss of an older brother, they both get druggy, they both get frisky with the ladies on the road, and they both have a nose. But this one is able to connect all of Johnny's issues to the central theme of his love for June Carter. MMMM that's good movie.
The worst part about this movie is realizing that you will never be as cool as Johnny Cash.

Shut your face.
it's not the 3rd book. it's actually the first one. it was the first one written and published... the ones "before it" were prequels written years later. bitch.
Shut your face, too.
i really like how your description of narnia as LOTR JR with a side of christ is literally word-for-word how i described it. except i said "a jesus lion" instead of "christ".
i also think anonymous has a great point about vehix dot com.
