Remembering The Alamo and 2004's Other Awful Movies — Page 3

"This has worked wonders for DiCaprio's sex appeal."

When did DiCaprio have sex appeal? It probably happened during The Amazing Race and I missed it.

Elf was a good movie (but there was a period where I couldn't stand it- I was working in a movie theater that got it, and the Christmas season was hell because that sold out at least once a week. Also because I had to work on Christmas)

Worst movie of 2004, as I can never stress any further- PD2: The Royal Engagement. Love the first movie, thought it was cute, Anne Hathaway making a great break into the acting scene (and let's just face it- Robert Schwartzman(Carmine) was hot).

PD2- HORRID. Mia wasn't as appealing, neither love interest was good, a rehashing of all the biggest jokes in the first movie.

And let's not forget the biggest sin committed in the entire film- UPSTAGING JULIE ANDREWS SINGING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.

"When did DiCaprio have sex appeal? It probably happened during The Amazing Race and I missed it."

He's still got the adolescent boy voice but is getting meatier. There was even a hint of a double chin when he was on Oprah earlier this month. Given that we all knew he'd never be ripped, a heavier DiCaprio is more than sufficient -- for me at least.


"I read your thoughts on Spider-Man 2 (all of them), and I still feel the same way. It is one of the best films of 2004. Sorry you can't see that."

You don't need to be sorry. I don't want you to change your mind -- especially since I won't. :) My evaluation? It was a disappointment.


"I don't like Tobey Maguire, either. Why he is considered one of the generation's best actors is beyond me."

Well, I'll bet he's a nice, shy guy in person to the extent that some people would even call him antisocial. But I don't think his true calling is acting. He seems to be a closet intellectual like his good friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

Juat thought I would put my two cents in....the WORST movie I have seen in a long time was. "I heart the Huckabies". I was actually mad as hell when I left the theatre because I knew I would never get that hour and forty-five minutes back! EVER!

Now, look, Im pissed again!!

1. Havana nights-- bi*ch please
2. 9 dead gay men-- could NOT get into it (i'm not sure how new this one is)
3. Shaun of the Dead-- just utter disgust

thats all i can think of right now...

spider man 2 was AMAZING!

Best 2004 film:
Garden State!!

So, am I the only one who thinks DiCaprio has gotten hot?

As for CIDER HOUSE RULES and WONDER BOYS. Hmmm well Cider House Rules just never excited me. *shrugs* I wasn't even a fan of the Oscar-whoring guy from the first Alfie in it. There was something about the pacing of Wonder Boys that made it a big flop. I think it even closed early and then was released months later. Anyway, because I didn't enjoy either film, I can't buy them as examples of Maguire's greatness. I have a feeling he might shine in a very, very small supporting role like Jude Law's role in ROAD TO PERDITION.

Hey, I actually thought at one point that Maguire might make a decent Harry Thaw in a new movie or miniseries version of RAGTIME. He has the look, but probably not the edge. Sidenote: I saw some recent photographs of him at a Lakers game and he does appear to be gaining weight! Yay!

It's nice to see people putting "just my opinion" disclaimers in their posts. Such a far cry from October when heads were getting bitten off for differences of opinion! But I guess the real troll behind all that sh!t has finally stepped back and figured out something better to do with his time. Sweet.
