Rushmore [7 out of 10]

Director: Wes Anderson
Written by : Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson

A 1998 movie written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. Yes, yes, the same Owen Wilson that I like so much on so many movies! IMDB gives it a 7.7/10 as of today. I am not sure what to think of this movie. It was somewhat moving, but not that great. It’s a pretty twisted story. We start by learning that this kid, Max Fischer, gets put on probation because of his low grades and that the reason he has low grades is because he has too many extra curricular activities. This is all mixed with a twisted love story and friendships. It gives a pretty good idea of what it is to be a teenager I guess. I also think that it is a prett deep movie if you want to read into it, and that maybe I wasn’t into thinking tonight. Give it a try one day!

Doom [5 out of 10]

Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak
Written By: Dave Callaham and Wesley Strick

So I just got back from the movies. I went to see Doom and I have to say, it was not soooo bad. I mean, granted the fact that I have seen the house of the dead lately might impair my judgement, but the movie was not too bad. The acting was okay, and the effects were not so bad. It got pretty bad when they started the ’1st person shooting’ stuff though. I hate to break it to ya, but they did it. And it’s bad. I mean real bad.

So basically for the first half of the movie everything is normal and they get a scare or two out of me, but then comes the ’1st person shooting mode’ and it ruins it. I mean, come on, if we want to play the game we’ll play it on our computers — not that I have the game on or anything, but a friend of mine does. Anyways, overall, I would give it a 5 out of 10. Yeah, that’s right, imagine what I gave to poor house of the dead… probably a 1 out 10. I’m pretty picky about the movies, but over five isw not too bad. I’ll try and let you know when I get to watch another movie.

By the way, this movie was 15$ to go see. It’s a cool theater, but it’s still pretty expensive out here in Auckland. They do let you come in with anything in your bag (Coke, chips, chocolate, etc) and so you don’t have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on stuff in the theater. So I guess it comes up to about the same. Anyway, not a big deal. I had a great time at the movies and that’s what movies were made for in the first place. Not a stupid contest to get oscars… right ? Cheers guys.
