Blair Witch Project, meet Godzilla.
Godzilla, Blair Witch Project.

The characters sucked.
And the filming made me sick.
But the monster was PIMP.
And, in theaters, the sound rocked my soul.

"The Number 23" Was listed, literally, as one of the ten worst movies of 2007. And I completely agree.

The misspelling of 'happiness' was part of the movie.

If you're critiquing this movie just because of that, you apparently didn't watch the movie at all.

Absolutely great movie. One of the few movies I've seen with a strong enough script to not use any music in parts.

I've heard nothing good about this movie from friends, but from the first time I saw the trailer I thought it was brilliant. The animation style is obviously one of the main attractions, but after watching it I can tell that it's something that the script is something that will never get old for me. I hate movies, especially kids movies, that lose their magic after the first viewing. It's the reason a lot of recent kids movies will never be considered classics.

But contrary to what other people have said, I think this movie perfectly matches the prototype for classic Disney movies. Just like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King in the rags-to-riches, extraordinary in the ordinary sort of sense.

This is easily my favorite of all the Disney-Pixar movies so far.

I would give my mother's life to have another experience of comparable greatness to Chevelle's performance.

Seriously.

It has been decided that cheetos are, in fact, tastey.
However, they lose said tastiness after approximately 43 Cheetos.

Which is why the individual serving bags of cheetos are so excellent.

Admit it.
You can't eat more than 43 Cheetos without re-evaluating your snack.

I actually thought it was hard to follow.

"the nose" scene was excellent.
and the wedding scene was cute.

not as good as the other two, I thought.
but it was action-packed.

So very overrated.
The "funny" parts were far past weak.

Honestly, this movie made me want to smash my skull into a baby panda's.

And I LOVE baby pandas.

I really didn't like it at all.
Seemed messy, and beyond.

The first star comes from the very first part of the movie: the introduction in the airport, then Bill Nighy saying "fuck wank bugger shitting ass head in the hole."

The second is for the overall filming.
Not the editing.
Just the filming.

[edit]The third is because I've learned to like it.[/edit]

Anyone who would attempt to substitute a movie for a history lesson is a moron. No matter the historical inaccuracies, 300 is a badass movie.

Badass, I say!

I laugh at everyone who says this album isn't consistent with AFI's style and history. Any one who's listened to their work back past Sing the Sorrow understand's that AFI changes with the times. With each new album they've put out has come a stylistic change, so to say this time around that they "don't sound like the same old AFI anymore" is completely ridiculous. They've never been the 'same old AFI,' and those who would call them such haven't been around long enough to judge anyway.
The big issue I took with this album's coming was the marketing. In the past, AFI never seemed to have the need for an 'image.' Group shots, merchandise, sure. But with decemberunderground's coming came a lottt of gimmicks. Increased promotion of 'the despair faction', limited edition portraits of the band members in each album, music videos focusing on the band members instead of the music itself. It just seems like humble ol' A Fire Inside trying to rise above all that it has been. Decemberunderground seems to have a condescending tone- a huge change from Sing the Sorrow's empathetic ways. Probably a jump most fans weren't ready for.

Overall, it seems like they overpromoted an somewhat underachieving album.

add two stars for content, subtract one star for the cult-esque promotions.
