netflix reviews: round #1

for my first dvd round-up... I received two movies: Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story, and Runaway Jury.

I. Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story
My Rating: 4/5
This movie had a pretty crappy plot, yet that added to the hilarity so it wasn't bad. Typical problem, sees ridiculous solution, stupid things happen, major set-backs, yet every still knows that comedys are almost never tragedies. Welp! Nevertheless, this was a good movie... however make sure you give it your full attention while viewing so you catch all of the jokes. (make some nachos that you can eat while distracted. popcorn can also be used as well. make sure to remain hydrated at all times.)

II. Runaway Jury
Rating: 2/5
Part of the problem was that I was expecting this movie to be better than it was. It was way too long and lost my interest several times through the movie. Another problem was that I was pretty sure I'd already seen it... that or parts of it... because I recalled what would happen next quite often. Anyway, back to the movie. The story was decent and didn't remind me of anything else I'd seen, but it always seemed like this flick dragged on forreevverrrr liiikkkeee hhhoooowwww iiii'mmmm tyyppinnngg riiighhhhttt noowwwww. Not enough going on... it's hard to call this a thriller, which seems like what it was aiming for... just minus the violence. Therefore, it's called a "drama". :P See it if you'd like, but only if you're interested in law or you really need a nice long movie that you don't have to pay attention to.

that's it for now. comments on the others next week.
