It's Over?? July 26, 2003 - 5:01 a.m.

I was having a conversation this morning about a huge dog, similar in size to a Mastiff or Great Dane, that is only bred in Turkey. This killing machine [okay, maybe not] is very highly trained and is loyal to its owner, to the point of literaly shredding any invading threats. I worry that dogs like this can turn on you, but otherwise, it's just the kind of dog I would need to feel safe, and lose a bit of my paranoia. Anyhow, I thought it was funny that as I'm sitting there watching Bad Boys 2, I see said breed of dog up on the movie screen. Martin Lawrence's character, being the precautious cop that he is, must have heard of the benefits with this breed and decided to get one. I found it quite strange that I'd never heard of this breed of dog, then suddenly that night, I see it in a movie. I find little things like that, cool.

As I anticipated, I enjoyed Bad Boys 2 more than I thought I would. From what I've been told, it's better than the first movie. I think it worked really well as a stand-alone film, as I didn't feel I was missing out on anything. There were lots of funny moments and the story was decent, but it seemed like there was action simply for action's sake. But I usually get bored with action sequences, so I might always think that way. But it was a good movie. I wasn't disappointed. Then again, I wasn't expecting anything good, so I suppose there was no room for disappointment.

T3 was really good. I've always liked Nick Stahl, as well as Claire Danes, and I have to admit I think they were my main reason for wanting to see the movie. As I was watching it, it seemed like it was nothing but action sequence after action sequence. I was beginning to think I had something against action movies in general, when the credits finally hit. My reaction.... 'The movie's over???'. It felt like no time had passed. I was entertained all the way through it, not a moment of boredom.

That's right folks, I judge the excellence of a movie simply on how much I enjoy it. I don't break down the plot design. I don't point out continuity errors, unless they're huge. I don't nitpick at someone's acting, unless it's horribly forced.. and even then, my standards are high. I don't have to have the best camera angles and movements or the brightest, clearest special effects. I don't even have to have a good soundtrack. Hell, there have been times I've liked or disliked a movie, simply based on the company I'm with.

Okay, so my opinions on movies aren't always this empty. But I am known as the girl that likes every movie. There's just more joy to the storytelling if you aren't analyzing it.

But I've found myself getting more critical in my old age. There have been more and more movies that I don't like.

And I don't like that I don't like them.
