Rounders (1998)
mikes loss early in the movie
how much was mike up to in the game with teddy that he lost to early in the movie. i know he buys in for 30,000, does anyone know how much he was up or down when he lost the hand to teddy? also what is everyone's favorite rounders lines? well i have nothing else to write and i have to fill ten lines so i will just keep babbling until i have written ten lines. i don't understand why they have some rule about these questions or comments needing to be 10 lines long. Another question, does anyone know how much money the top prize at the wsop is gonna be this year? i heard 7.5 million and ten million. i just gotta get one more line in. hmm what else can i write about, i don't know. i think that makes 10 lines,
Box of Moonlight (1996)
relevance of the reversal
was there any relevance or symbolism to al seeing like water and other things go in reverse, like the kid riding back from where he came. was it just suppose to be al losing it, or was it symbolic of him wanting to revert back to his childhood, or younger times when he had more fun. i saw this movie on the other night, i've seen it before but anytime i see it on i get excited, but i can't remember if i ever seen the end i always seem to find it on late at night watch like 90 minutes then get too tired, fall asleep. i can't recall if i saw the ending. i love this movie though, the thought of trying to be off the radar, and basically not known to a lot of people seems kinda cool and fun since it seems really hard to do at these times.
House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
bad misfire
This movie just wasn't scary. I thought if anyone could make a good horror it could be rob zombie. And i had read that this movie might have gone straight to video for it's goreiness and violence, but if anything it should have for lack of quality. I have no problem with gore, or violence and i think it can make a good horror movie memorable. The plot isn't bad, the writing isn't good, but with horror that's not needed. You just need a story for the audience to follow, then just horrify them. But house didn't do that. It just bored you. I didn't find it scary, or entertaining, or gorey. The heroes of the story are quickly thrust into danger, this is hinted at, and we know she shouldn't have picked up the female hitchhiker. But the heroes aren't likeable, it's not sad to see them die, and the villains aren't scary. I give Zombie credit he had the 70's backdrop going which i liked, and there were some scenes that were clever, but it just felt like a diet texas chainsaw massacre.
Hard Cash (2002)
Dissapointing for the potential it has
Hard cash or Run for the Money which i believe was the USA title, is basically another one last heist movie. Christian Slater is the leader of his crew and after being busted for a botched robbery is released from prison looking to make one last score. He encounters problems when the money that is ripped off is FBI money and is then coerced by bad FBI agent Cornell played by Val KIlmer to pull one more heist job for him. The movie is pretty predictable, the action scenes are basically low budget and painfully fake when it comes to the actor's scenes and the script was pretty average. It's dissapointing that a cast with Val Kilmer, Christian Slater, Darryl Hannah, and Bookeem Woodbine ended up in such a dissapointing movie, with that cast and a decent movie this is easily box office, but when you see it you see why it was a tv movie that would've been straight video.
