<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Half Baked- Had never seen it until now. Not like I'd never HEARD of it, though... many lines have been quoted to be before by friends. Funny shit. Dave Chappelle rules.

Dazed and Confused- Seen it before a few times. Still as good as ever. A classic.

Logan's Run- Heard a little about it before. It was VERY 70's (cheesy-ass futuristic music, the hair), but I liked it.

Blow- Fuckin' A. I loved this movie. Why doesn't Johnny Depp have an Oscar, or at least a Golden Globe yet? From Hell, Edward Scissorhands, Benny & Joon, Ed Wood, Chocolat... he's done a lot of great work. Only really shitty movie I've seen him in is Crybaby.

Amélie- Could Audrey Tautou be any cuter? Don't think so. Fantastic film.

The Royal Tenenbaums- Possibly the most overlooked movie of 2001? A lot of critics think so, and I agree. Damn fixed Oscars. I'm not sure, but I don't think this was nominated for any awards at all.


Yeah.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Tennenbaums was up for best original screenplay, I believe. And it should have won. Wes Anderson's films really aren't for everyone though.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Half-Baked was a lot of fun, Dazed and Confused was fairly amusing. Never seen Logan's Run and Blow, Amelie, and Tennenbaums are all movies any self-respecting DVD owner will have</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>No, Memento should have won, period. Any other year, and I'd say Tennenbaums, but not against Memento. I'll have to see how good Gosford Park is (since it won), just to see if it's better than those two (I HIGHLY doubt it, even if it is excellent)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Overrated? No chance. It was awesome, just like Rushmore was.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>The Royal Tenenbaums was a great movie. On the whole I think Rushmore has more re-watch value to it, but that won't stop me from purchasing the Tenenbaums sometime soon.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Particularly considering the only release of Tennenbaums is a Criterion edition....and that one is going for about $14 US up here</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Garamond; text-align: left; '>Half Baked is one of the greatest movies ever. I also loved the Royal Tennenbaums, but everyone I recommended it to hated it. People suck.</div>
