Monday, April 1st, 2002

By famed writer Kevin Smith, Dogma is the story of two dishonored angels that are trying to get back into heaven and the disillusioned, abortion-clinc worker, that must stop them to end the apocalypse and save all existence. It’s a great fantasy comedy with Jay and Bob. 4/5.

Memento (2000)

Sunday, March 31st, 2002

A backwards murder thriller by Christopher Nolan. It starts out with the “victim” getting his revenge. The “victim” being Guy Pearce (as Leonard Shelby), a man with no short term memory; He can not make any new memories since the murder of his wife. And thus we follow Leonard backwards in time as we find out what led to these events. An excellent thriller. 4/5.

Bichunmoo (2000)

Saturday, March 30th, 2002

A sweeping tragedy from ancient Korea. Beautifully brought to the silver screen by Kim Young-jun it tells the story of the love that couldn\’t be between the lowly Jinha (Shin Hyun-june) and the concubines daughter Sullie (Kim Hee-sun). It\’s more action oriented than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and more \”modern\”, mixing techno and rock music into the soundtrack and having tighter editing and even more fantasy aspects. Very good, 4/5.

Monkeybone (2001)

Tuesday, March 19th, 2002

Okay, this might not be the smartest thing to do, but I really enjoy this freakish body-swapping comedy. Brendan Fraser usually comes off as way too much, but after Air Heads I’ve always known there was something in this guy. And Monkeybone’s it! Definitely 5/5!

Dragon Lord (1982)

Monday, March 18th, 2002

Lung Siu Yau (Young Master in Love) is a silly old Hong Kong movie starring Jackie Chan. Unfortunately it’s too silly, has no real plot and just stumbles along. I can’t give this more than 2/5.
