movies, etc

ok, i finally got around to watching

Xmen 3... i liked it, but didn't LOVE it, perhaps because i can't quite related to the Jane character as much. it was interesting to all the characters' storylines move forward; however, given that one of my fave characters disappeared early in the movie... well...

Superman Returns - liked this one a lot, actually saw it on the curved Imax and on regular screen. Definitely both have advantages and disadvantages, but i liked it better on Imax. besides the fact that i thought Lois made a bad mother (who brings their kid to work? where's the expensive but snotty nanny?!) i actually like the story, and i thought the actor was good.

The Omen (original). yes i know the new one came out 6 - 6 - 06 (pretty clever) but i'm not big for seeing horror movies in the theatre, unless i'm there with ppl who are passionate about that genre. i saw 28 Days Later which was a great movie but hella distrubing, and i was distrubed all the way home. The original Omen was good, although i really fault the movie trailers industry, because almost all the main scenes were shown in this summer's remake trailer. Other than that, the Omen was less 'scary' than i thought; i had thought it was going to be more gruesome and graphic, perhaps like The Exorcist.

i also bought Waiting and The Aristocrats, which were supposed to be decent. it's hard buying movies - if i've seen it, and liked it, chances are i might watch it maybe 2 more times if i owned it. if i hadn't seen it, how do i know i might watch it more than once?! do i really NEED to own the movie? how often have you gone back and watched a movie?

being a freak, the only movies i've ever watched over and over are: Anne of Green Gabels and the sequel to it. Nowadays i pop a random DVD from Gilmore Girls series when i'm home... other than that, no movie's made an impact where i've watched it more than 3 times.
