Rush eats more crow

Yet more proof that Rush is a wind bag...



This is his problem... that it "feels right". Too bad he doesn't THINK about anything before he says it.

Review: What Dreams May Come

This is a love story. A twisted love story of death, loss, sacrifice, and self-discovery. It's a bit of an adventure story as well but first and foremost a "high-brow" love story. It plays with a lot of questions that no one will ever really be able to answer and this can confuse the message of the movie for some people. The acting is good, story decent, and the special effects good. But the thing is, is that all those special effects eventually take over the movie and cloud its story. Every once in awhile the it stops to show you how neat the effects are and ends up losing the message in the process. The effects are not quite dated yet but with a sharp CGI eye you can spot a number of goofs. All in all, I liked it but wouldn't recommend it as a general view to my friends. If you're looking for a serious movie and can get past the special effects then I'd recommend this as a rental.

Review: Donnie Darko

Donnie sleepwalks and his imaginary friend Frank won't tell him why. Only that the world will end in 28 days and that he has a plan. Frank is a giant rabbit, an evil looking rabbit at that, that is from the future. He has Donnie do some very destructive things that tie into this future. The movie is Donnie trying to figure out why he is doing these things and why the world ends. All this leads up to the ending which may leave you wanting to watch it again. The whole movie is a bit surreal and it may actually take a second viewing to catch everything and make sense of it all, assuming that any sense or meaning can actually be taken from it. All in all, its a good film that leaves a lot of questions unanswered but nothing keeping it from becoming a cult classic. Put this on your netflix rental list but if you're the cultish type buy the DVD.
