World of KJ :: View topic - What movies do you still need to watch from '04?

Quote:

The Polar Express is the most bizarre 99 minutes of family entertainment I have ever been witness to! The dark gleaming dream vision of a child losing his belief in Santa.

The story itself, from the kid's book, is 24 short pages so you can imagine how they've stretched it out to feature length - Tom Hanks mugging it up as 6 different characters, seemingly endless, pointless train hijinks, and some of the scariest animated human characters ever. I swear that if they used these creepy looking kids in a horror movie it would terrify me! And that's not even mentioning the literally thousands of evil elves that inhabit the North Pole (when they finally get there...).

Luckily, we saw it in IMAX 3D, which is spectacular and makes all the train foolishness look awesome visually at least. I pity the poor fools who see this in a standard 35mm print or worse yet, those who later buy this on DVD.

2 out of 5.

Are there movies from 2004 that you still need to see? At the moment, the only thing I really really want to watch from 2004 is Hotel Rwanda. Then, there are a few others that I just felt like waiting until DVD for, but I can't remember them at the moment. What did you miss?

I'm hoping to see Hotel Rwanda this weekend or next weekend as well. Hopefully, it will be playing close by when it expands.

Hopefully going to see In Good Company tonight, and Hotel Rwanda on Friday and that should just about tidy up 2004 for me. BTW, the last film I saw in 2004 was Polar Express on New Year's Eve, and it had to be the strangest movie of the year - it might even have been an okay movie if they'd remembered to include a story... Here's a copy of my review: Quote: The Polar Express is the most bizarre 99 minutes of family entertainment I have ever been witness to!
