11.11.06movie review: stranger than fictionThis is not a "Will Ferrell" movie. You know what I am talking about. If you are looking for a movie where Will Ferrell does pretty much anything he normally does (we're not counting Melinda and Melinda here), then this one is not for you. If you are looking for just a plain good movie with some laughs, then Stranger Than Fiction will probably work perfectly. Will Ferrell plays Harold Crick, a IRS agent whose life is ruled by numbers. He counts the number brush strokes with an OCD- like obsession. At work, people shoot out large multiplication problems to him ...

A mixture of scripted and holy-crap-there-is-no-way-unscripted ...

11.01.06movie review: the prestigeI really didn't think I was going to like The Prestige. When my friend, Nichee suggested we go, I was thinking it was a lesser of two evils (the other was going to Atrox Factory in Birmingham). I didn't think it was going to be bad, either, but from the trailer I envisioned it to be a bit forced and maybe even tedious. So, I was wrong. I'm finally coming to the conclusion that Christopher Nolan is one of the more talented directors working now. I haven't seen Memento, but I've heard great things about it and I personally think ...
