Harrison Bergeron

I truly had not expected to like this, and kept putting off watching it because I just expected it to be boring. But it's a great movie that will make you think.
It was wonderful to see Sean Astin in this role, and it warmed my heart to see both Mackenzie Astin and John Astin in two small cameos.
But the fact is that Sean Astin does a very good job portraying Harrison, and the story is built up in a simple way that works very well. I really think I want to find this one on DVD, because it's a keeper.

Dracula 2000

It had an ok premise, and it's worth watching just because of all the cameos, but it falls apart pretty quickly.
It’s very predictable, and the dialogue is cheesy as hell. Easily ranks among the lowest in the Vampire-movie-genre. How the hell they managed to get Christopher Plummer to play a part in this film is beyond me.

The Inside Man


From the moment it started I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy this film. It opens with Clive Owen explaining some things about the robbery, the how, what, where and when basically. I had originally thought that the film would be about the investigation after the robbery, but was pleased to discover that it was more about the robbery itself and the aftermath of what had happened.
It was a very enjoyable film. It has brains, which I haven't seen in this type of film for a long time. The audience are served clues as we go along and I think that was done in a very good way. If I have a complaint about the film it is that it ends kind of suddenly. I'm not saying that something was missing, but I felt the need for there to be one or two more small scenes to wrap the whole thing up. That being said it is definetly a movie worth watching.
The performances were good, but how could they fail with actors like that? I've been seing more of Ejiofor lately and I really think he's on his way up the ladder. I just hope Hollywood will be able to see his potential.
There's not really much else I can say; it's a good movie with good actors, and it should be watched.
