Movies. Backdraft, Chris Elliot with Little Hand and MORE!



A few random things about movies:

- I saw Final Destination 5. It was OK as expected but the special effects were unreal. Especially at the beginning when the bridge collapses. Great death scenes. I couldn't watch the scene where the chick goes to the eye doctor though because it skeeved me out too much.

- Watched Scary Movie 2 again on TV and it's still got some really funny parts. Every scene with Chris Elliot is hysterical. With his little hand. And he tries to touch everyone's face with his itty bitty hand? See picture above.

- For some reason I watched most of Backdraft on TV the other day. Oh brother what a piece of melodramatic crap. The most laughable being Billy Baldwin's character saying to Kurt Russell's character in the ambulance: "Hold on. Hold on you son of a bitch!" (when he thinks he's about to die)

- Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Holy crap did anyone see this?? The movie overall isn't great but the special effects on the apes is great! Oh my God.

So there you go.

And Swayze should have played the Curt Russell part. That would have been perfect for that cheeseball.

Thanks for the updates. Sometimes special effects can make up for a mediocre movie, but some movies with cool effects stil suck. I am glad to hear Planet of the Apes appears to be better than the Tim Burton version.

Tom - it's worth seeing in the theater.
