2004 "Cheap Shows"
Hosted by JJ Armour and Ken Kaufman
January: Calendar Girls.
Cute film, a pleasant watch.
February: Dark.
March: Miracle. Entertaining, in
spite of a few glaring errors.
April: The Ladykillers. Amusing
and absurd.
May: Kill Bill Vol. 2. I happened
to prefer Vol. 1. This one was much more sadistic.
June: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
Azkaban. Probably my favorite book in the series, but for some
reason, this just one didn't have the same magic of the earlier film. It may
have been that it had more plot to plow through, and the film was guilty
of dropping some important plot points.
July: Dark.
August: The Bourne Supremacy
Ok, but rather thin.
September: Collateral
It sucked me in. A good job.
October: Ladder 49 JJ really liked
it and its approach. I found it a bit more formulaic and manipulative.
You make the call.
November: The Incredibles Fun
and witty.
December: Ocean's Twelve Not up
to the first by any means of the imagination, but somewhat amusing.
