MOVIES SEEN 2006-2005 UPDATE ONLY

A Personal-Public Blog (but not Public Domain.). MOVIES SEEN 2006-2005 UPDATE ONLY This Blog is just an UPDATE to my MAIN movies blog for 2006-2005, etc. All of these updates should be incorporated into that list. UPDATES: Spoilers? Well, how much of a movie can you describe without spoiling the plot or some anticipation for the film? I try to avoid it when I can. If you feel I "spoiled" something, email me, and YHWH-permitting, I may consider removing or changing it. Thank you!  SEE RATINGS GUIDE for MOVIES SEEN by me for a guide to MY RATINGS, and for notes about the lists. This list here -- MOVIES SEEN 2006-2005 UPDATE ONLY. MY MAIN MOVIE AND SHOW BLOG: Who wants to DO something, like see SHOWS or MOVIES, or catch the SIGHTS?. Enjoy! UPDATE ONLY Casino Royale (PG-13) ###.5 Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench Action/Adventure 11/17/2006 {Probably one of the best--though most visually violent--of the Bond films. I was unimpressed with previews showing Daniel Craig, but I must say he did a great job of being convincing, probably too convincing, if there is such a thing, too on guard, which would be conspicuous for a spy, to say the least. Judy Dench pulled off a snapping M. And Eva Green, well, I'll let you decide. Her acting was fine. (But her make-up?? I found it attractive only in certain scenes; in the rest, I got almost a similar feeling as I got when I saw Demi Moore with too-dark mascara around the eyes. It's popular among some today, but I don't find it attractive. Am I talking about make-up?? LOL.)} Conversations with God (PG) ## Henry Czerny, Ingrid Boulting, Bruce Page Drama 10/27/2006 {If you don't like "spiritual" movies that border on or tread into areas heretical for Christians, don't see this. (Same with "What the Bleep...".) Other than that, it was an interesting film. It could have been done better, I think. The main actor was pretty decent, but a bit on the I-know-you're-watching-me side. I wish more of the, uh, sometimes heretical "conversations" were quoted. I guess I've been drawn in to maybe borrow or buy the book! lol. Maybe.} Deja Vu (PG-13) {Déjà Vu} ###.5 Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel Action/Adventure, Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Suspense/Thriller 11/22/2006 {I liked it. Makes you wonder if something like this has existed in certain events of history. SEE comments in Stranger Than Fiction.} Dreamgirls (PG-13) ## Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson Drama, Music/Performing Arts 1/19/2007 (NY/LA/SF - December 15, 2006. Expanded Release - December 25, 2006. Wide Release - January 19, 2007) {I kind of liked it. It didn't become a "musical" until a ways into the film. And when it did, it actually surprised me. An appreciation or liking for the development of R&B, Soul, and Disco music may help. DISCLAIMER: I myself like a lot of the best/most popular Disco music, but am not much into much of the other styles. I saw it in a mostly-caucasian-populated theater.  I thought I should mention that because audience response can affect how one enjoys or does not enjoy a show. Was also with someone who actually stated she didn't really like some of those kinds of music in the movie. (Saw 12/26.)}Eragon (PG) ##.5 Edward Speleers, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou Action/Adventure, Family, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 12/15/2006 {Another decent dragon movie, I guess. }The Good Shepherd (R) ##.5 Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup Drama, Suspense/Thriller 12/22/2006 {Slow. But okay.} The Holiday (PG-13) ###.5 Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law Comedy, Romance 12/8/2006 { }Mean Girls (PG-13) (on DVD) ### {I liked the start, started liking less the middle, and, well, ended with liking the end and the whole. "All's well that ends well", I guess.  Fun, humorous, sometimes painful to watch, and, well, somewhat meaningful. Oh, and I liked much of the Pop music. Am I sure I am not a teen anymore? Fetch! LOL.}Night at the Museum (PG) (Saw at IMAX.) ### Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke Action/Adventure, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 12/22/2006 {Kinda dumb, but funny. Somewhat but not terribly violent.} One Night with the King (PG) ### Tiffany Dupont, Luke Goss, Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif Drama, Romance 10/13/2006 {Some big names in this basic story of Esther, romantically told. I liked it. However, the acting by the main female character was shaky toward the beginning, and in certain parts of certain scenes, but the movie was pretty decent regardless. (Saw 10:20 11/8/2006.)} The Prestige (PG-13) #### Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Suspense/Thriller 10/20/2006 {I loved the earlier movie The Illusionist. And this was great too. Dark though, very dark and twisted, even wicked. This is also mystery/suspense (at times). Sit on the edge of your seat for many scenes, and watch closely.} The Prince & Me (PG???) ##.5 {Since I don't recall where I saw it, I don't recall whether I saw it all. Any why is this important to you? Well, it means I don't know whether My Rating is solid or not. That's why. What's with my MEMORY of late? (SEE my comment under Stranger Than Fiction (PG-13).)} The Pursuit of Happyness (PG-13) ### Will Smith, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, Thandie Newton Drama 12/15/2006 {Will Smith does well in this drama. The story line seemed contrived in ways that REAL life can seem weird that way.} The Science of Sleep (R) ## Gael García Bernal, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alain Chabat Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 9/22/2006 {It had less science, but more Zs than I had hoped for. Unless familiar with the science terms already, might be better to do DVD where you can pause and rewind and listen to the big words a few times to remember it, unless you're one of those over-3-to-5-percent brain-use people who have an auralgraphic memory. (That's MY word, and I just made it up, though I like the sound of auragraphic better; hmm, maybe that would be related to auras though. lol.) Harder to follow, maybe, as it goes along, as the movie seems to start with an almost-completely-awake coherency that grows closer and closer to dream-like-consciousness toward the end. It would be interesting to see the animated sequences redone with super-high-caliber drawn animation rather than the claymation-style, which was pretty decent but certainly dated in 2006.} Spanglish (PG-13) ### Adam Sandler, Téa Leoni, Paz Vega Comedy 12/17/2004 {I liked it. It's more a drama, romance, romantic comedy than comedy.} Stranger Than Fiction (PG-13) ###.5 Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 11/10/2006 {Because of the concept, I knew I wanted to see it, though from the previews, I thought it would be dumb. I went though, because in truth, it has seemed that I myself have been recently going through something similar. (No joke.) But not the same, I think! LOL. I was surprised that Will Ferrell did such a good job; he (practically ) never got out of hand! And I kind of liked Dustin Hoffman's detached acting as a respected literary person. Now, HERE'S A QUESTION: Is your life written out, ALL of it, before it occurs, or are parts still Unwritten? SEE comments in Deja Vu (Déjà Vu).}What the Bleep Do We Know!? (NR) ##.5 Armin Shimerman, John Ross Bowie, Marlee Matlin Art House/Foreign, Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 4/23/2004 {If you don't like "spiritual" movies that border on or tread into areas heretical for Christians, don't see this. (Same with "Conversations with God".) Other than that, it was an interesting film. I was left wondering how much of the Quantum Physics / Quantum Mechanics info was real. Nothing like fictional science to explain real phenomena that could be just glitches in the matrix. LOL. (Saw 9:15PM Wed. 7/14/2004.)} Come to MY MAIN MOVIE AND SHOW BLOG: Who wants to DO something, like see SHOWS or MOVIES, or catch the SIGHTS?. Enjoy!
