Marty's Movie Reviews #4,906

[loosechanj]

Fantastic Four: Ioan Gruffid makes a tolerable, if far too young, Reed Richards. Which is good, because he made an absolutely atrocious Horatio Hornblower. Jessica Alba shouldn't have been let within 20 miles of the script. Isn't Sue Storm supposed to be a blond, blue eyed, Hitler youth type? Eh, I'll live. They're definately making better comic book movies now than when I was a kid. The ending, oh puke.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Not bad, but it makes me want to re-watch the original. Haha, I never knew veruca was a kind of wart you got on your foot.

Labyrinth: Whoa, Jennifer Connelly is in this? Allright! *schwing* David Bowie as "goblin king"? Uh, no thanks.

Hmm. I like Labyrinth .. David Bowie is funny. Also like his cameo in Zoolander. As for CatCF, not seen the new one yet, loved the old one ...

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reminding me I need to watch that.

They really messed up Doom's origin and his history with Reed.

The only fantastic four I really got into was the whole arc with Galactus and them aging really rapidly. I think it went on for like a year.

Dude, Labyrinth was my favorite movie when I was a kid.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

It struck me as pretty silly, but I'd still love to do Jennifer Connely.

[yitty.livejournal.com]

she is pretty hot. i wonder if that wasnt her first movie?

I have not seen Fan 4 yet, but I did see Charlie and Choco Fact. I loved it. But, I am a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fan. And I read the original book, not the remake based on Gene Wilder's character. It is supposed to be about Willy, who does NOT like kids at all. And I thought that came through in Burton's version well. And Labyrinth was amazing to me. I enjoyed the creatures; I enjoyed the concept, and I enjoyed David Bowie. He was hot and scary at the same time. Jennifer Connely was super cute in it, and I do think it was her first movie.

EXACTLY. I fucking love David Bowie in that movie.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

I dunno, he just comes across as sooooooo 80's to me. It definately would have been better if he hadn't sung.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Nope, see above post. :-D

[seahorsemystic.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't realize she was in that movie! I saw that a few weeks back on late night tv. I stand corrected on my thinking it was her first movie, since it appears she was in a few before Labyrinth.

I thought what Willie really hated was the idea of family, not specifically kids.

[seahorsemystic.livejournal.com]

Well in the book, he didn't like children as much as he didn't like family. He just couldn't relate to them. See, he never really grew up into an adult, so kids kind of freaked him out. With the Ompahs, he was able to open with them because they were little adults--and yet still childlike. They were his best friends.

David Bowie's obvious package straining through those spandex jersey pants scarred me for life.
I still love him and that movie though. Second only to Willow.

I don't think I could watch a movie called "willow".

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Willow is awesome. Midgets and Val Kilmer and swords. What could be bad about that?

[generic-gothic.livejournal.com]

The Willow NES game (http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=21200) was pretty good, though. Sort'a like the first Legend of Zelda. I'd recommend using Game Genie codes, though.

hahahahhaha the veruca line made me LOLZ

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

:-D

Well, the people who aren't attracted to Jennifer Connelly need *something*... and those were some really tight pants. :P

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

What kind of perv wouldn't be attracted to Jennifer Connelly?!?

[sasja-sokolov.livejournal.com]

What kind of perv wouldn't be attracted to Sebastian Bach?

Jennifer Connelly.

[generic-gothic.livejournal.com]

I know a gay guy, total six on the Kinsey scale, who said he would hit that. She's that fine. She'd give a dog a bone. If she were president, she'd be Baberaham Lincoln. She's the ruler of Babyalonia. She's a megababe.

Re: Jennifer Connelly.

In France, she would be call la renard, and would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.
