Fishy's Week of Movies

[gfish]

A bit over a week ago I realized that I was falling behind in my theatrical releases. In order to prevent missing any I decided to see one every day during the work week. It worked so well that I extended it to an entire week just because I could. Anyway, 'Fishy's Work Week of Movies' is awkward and, truth be told, I was planning this post the entire time. Links are to my in-depth reviews on Melpomene.

Punch-Drunk Love

Mmmmm. Adam Sandler was... good! Not for those who don't enjoy depictions of bleak modern alienation.

The Truth About Charlie

Blech. Horribly directed and/or edited.

Heaven

Yummy but very light fare.

Naqoyqatsi

Eh. I'm still a big fan of plot. But now I've seen all of the -qatsi films and can say they aren't my thing with authority.

The Ring

Quite good. Not actually scary, but well done. Redeemed itself from being just a generic horror film at the end.

The Evil Dead

Okay, this wasn't a new release, but it was the midnight movie this week at the Egyptian. Fun to see with a big goofy crowd.

The Transporter

A nice surprise. Nothing too special, but some very clever action sequences.

Going to a movie every day is... tiring. xiadyn and I joke about buying full passes to SIFF some year and doing nothing but watch movies for two weeks. I'm not sure I could really do it now.
