crowley

Last week I rented the movie Crowley from netflix.
The movie is about this cult leader from the 1920's that dies and then is brought back some time later by some sort of computer program.
I rented the movie because the preview of it that I saw indicated that there was a lot of sex in it.
It actually turned out to be not that bad of a story as well.
The extras that were included on the dvd weren't that bad either so I give the dvd a four out of five stars.
This link is about the man this movie was based on:

After I watched the movie I was surprised to discover that Aleister Crowley actually existed.

In the UK the movie was released as 'chemical wedding'.

Rise: Blood Hunter

I watched the movie 'Rise: Blood hunter' last night on netflix.com.
I liked it, but I don't think it was the most amazing movie I have ever watched.
I give the movie three and a half stars out of five stars.
It was a vampire movie and it had some nudity in it so usually that means its worth watching.
This is a link to a good summary of the movie:

Crash

I just watched the dvd 'Crash' that I rented from netflix.com.
I give the dvd, as a whole, three and a half stars out of five stars.
I liked the movie enough to recommend that you watch it if you haven't already but I did not like it enough to want to watch it again or to go out and buy the dvd.
The dvd included a behind the scenes video that was kind of interesting, but it wasn't enough to give a dvd a higher rating.
If you want a summary of the movie I'm going to include some links below.

Dead Like Me: Life after death.

3-17-09 Earlier today I watched the movie of the tv show called 'Dead Like Me'.
The movie of the tv show is called 'Dead Like Me: Life after death.'
The show and the movie are about a group of people that become grim reapers.
After these people die they're chosen to do god's dirty work by collecting the souls of the person that is about to die and then after the person dies the grim reaper shows the soul the way to the light.
The movie itself is like an extended version of the tv show and I think it also picked up where the last tv show left off but it also ended in a way to where the tv show its self could eventually pick back up.
I give the movie five stars out of five.
I really recommend that you watch the television show episodes of this movie before you watch the movie.
***3-18-09 I think I really jumped the gun by giving this movie a five out of five because when I realized that they made another episode of my favorite show, you know 'dead like me', I got really excited.
So I think I let my emotions get in the way of giving this movie an honest rating.
I rewatched the last episode of the tv show and I think I'm going to have re-evaluate my previous rating of the movie.
I now give the movie three and a half stars out of five stars.
I would strongly suggest that you watch the television episodes instead of the movie.

YPF

I just finished watching the movie, 'YPF' which I rented from netflix.com.
The title is short for young people fucking and the movie is about what you would think it is.
Its the story of four different couples having sex over one night, but its a comedy, not a porn movie.
I really liked the movie, I was entertained by it and I thought it was funny.
The acting was good and believable and the plot was believable.
But I'm a little disappointed with the dvd as whole, there was only one extra which was the trailer for the movie.
If there was more to the dvd then i would of rated it higher.
I give the dvd YPF four out of five stars.

Love in the time of Cholera.

This movie was based on the novel by the same name by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I think the book won a nobel prize for best novel or something when it was first published.
I believe the book was published in 1985 but I'm not exactly sure about that.
But the movie is only about a year or two old.
The story of the movie is set in Columbia but its an english speaking film.
The story is about a young man who falls in love in with a young women.
When the father of the young women finds out he separates the two by moving her two small village deep in the forest.
The father eventually moves them back into the city and the daughter falls in love and marries a rich doctor.
The young man, Florentino, pleads his ever lasting love for her, Fermina, and eventually they age and then they become lovers.
In the mean time Florentino seduces a whole bunch of women and keeps a diary of all of his sexual encounters.
The sex its self is most certainly not what makes this movie great, its everything else.
Don't get me wrong, there were some moments where I did get a chubby but that isn't why I liked the movie.
The movie as a whole was really good so I give the dvd of 'Love in the time of cholera' four out of five stars.
I really liked the movie, but I guess I could be wrong because the movie didn't do so well at the box office and it didn't receive great reviews either.
Maybe I should look into reading the book.

Mi-5

On Thursday I finished watching the first four or five seasons of the British tv show called Spooks.
The tv show is also called Mi-5.
Mi-5 is a top secret British agency of spies.
The Mi-5 are based in London with the characters occasionally going outside of London to fight terrorism.
The show is really well done and its very interesting to watch.
I give the show six out of five stars, yeah its that good.
Unfortunately they only have the first four or five seasons of the show available to watch on the netflix website but they have the two or three other seasons available to rent from them.
