Last night my brother and I watched Scary Movie and started to watch A Tale of Two Sisters which is an amazing movie but it was about 5:45 AM and we were pooped and started to doze off so we stopped it.

The Ice Harvest
The Lowdown: Charlie (John Cusack, Must Love Dogs) and his buddy Vic (Billy Bob Thornton, The Bad News Bears) stole some money (not sure how much, but know it was a lot) from a mob boss (some fat-ass that nobody cares about and barely appears in the movie, surprisingly) and feel they've just pulled off the perfect crime. So, they take it easy since it's Christmas Eve, but that doesn't come at an easy price. Charlie meets up with his ex Renata (Connie Nielsen, The Great Raid) and his old pal Pete (Oliver Platt, Casanova), and is in for the night of his life. Review: I'm a big fan of John Cusack, and he hasn't disappointed me here. Sure, there are stale parts that could've been left out (such as him going to Pete's house, where Pete and his mother have a fight). And I'll admit, the ending seemed to drag on (like Hostage). But, I'll admit it was a fun ride! I loved the scenery, and the whole Christmas season blended in well with the story. The acting was top-notch as usual. Especially by the always helpful Oliver Platt, who delivers most of the laughs in the movie. Drunken arse! The Ice Harvest is worth a watch if you have the time for it (it's only an hour and a half), but it's nothing to go rush to the video store to pick up. Verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

In the Mouth of Madness
Let me tell you folks: If you haven't seen this one, you are missing out on a damn good film. Sam Neill is an incredible actor, and he is in top form here as insurance investigator John Trent. The supporting cast varries from the great, such as Jurgen Prochnow, to the not-so-great, such as Julie Carmen. The plot is like a bizare crossbreed of H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King, with typical John Carpenter flair. The effects are great, often reminicent of JC's own The Thing. Last but not least, it has got to have one of the coolest endings Ive seen in a long while. Requires more than one viewing to completly graps, but upon this second time, I think Ive figured it out. 9/10

Walk the Line
The Lowdown: A retelling of Johnny Cash's (Joaquin Phoenix, Ladder 49) life and relationship with June Carter (Reese Witherspoon, Just Like Heaven). Review: I was always curious when this movie was released if it was just an Oscsar cash-in to Ray. Don't get me wrong I thought it looked great, but this thought always crossed my mind. Especially while viewing Walk the Line. The first 45 minutes into this film (it clocks in at 2 hours and 15 minutes) were very boring, dull, and seemed to drag on forever. I had a bad feeling that this is how the whole movie was going to turn out. But, I was relieved to find out that it wasn't. Once we get past Johnny's childhood, we get into his life as an aspiring musician, and this is the gas that gets the engine going. At first, the record dealer didn't like Johnny, but, of course, he eventually started playing his "own" songs and got a contract. Then comes in June Carter, the love interest. I'm not going to say much about her, but that she's hot, funny, and has a good singing voice. Anyway, Johnny falls for her, but we're (or at least I was) confused by her emotions. Now, normally I'd count this as a negative for a movie, but I'm pretty sure this is how she acted. Blah, blah, blah, he makes move on her, she flips out, blah, blah, blah, they try to work things out, blah, blah, blah. Johnny's life was just to damn complicated! Though there was a lot of shit to figure out, the director held it together well. The acting was great here, but I can't say the same for the supporting actors. They seemed liked bums just pulled off of the street (which they probably were). But, who really gives a rat-ass about them?!? The scenry was nice, and kept in touch with the time period. Yes, there's a happy ending, but that was Johnny's life, so no complaining from me. Aside from the dull first 45 minutes and bad supporting actors, Walk the Line is one of the few dramas that is definitely worth a watch! Oh, and Return, if you're still renting Oscar-nominated movies, I highly suggest this one! You won't be disappointed (well, at least I hope not)! Verdict: 4 out of 5 stars

TransAmerica. . . good film with great performance by Felicity Huffman. . . she/he is amazing and has real emotional resonance even while keeping up her character's stilted performance of feminitiy. And, I'll give the film big credit for not resolving everything at the end (either tragically or with big smoochy happy ending).
I'd put my vote for best actress to Huffman at this point. (still haven't seen Mrs. Henderson Presents. . . but Dame Dench is always Dame Dench)
