Good movies continued
You can add Terminator 3 to that list I started below. I thought it was pretty good, better than Minority Report, even though the writing was pretty dumb, it was so briskly paced that it never let you dwell on the bad one-liner they just dropped. I may seem really deep, introspective and philosophical, but a really cool action scene can have me grinning like an idiot, and the car-chase fell into that category. I mean seriously, how much shit did they smash up? And when the front of the crane gets crushed into the road and flips over? Too cool! I liked the bleak Strangelove-esque ending as well. Hey, it wasn’t The Conversation, or even Terminator 2 for that matter, but I can honestly say that I wasn’t disappointed by an overhyped movie this year, a rare plus in this day and age. Mind you, I’ve had a massive crush on Claire Danes ever since I first saw her in Romeo + Juliet, so maybe I’m just biased.
