Well since I don't have a job so I'm really bored lately. What movies should I rent that will be worth this picky movie-watching college grad's money?

Go to your local library and find some movies. That's what I do when I'm feeling frugal.

more to come later Master and Commander is excellent. The other three I haven't seen, but they don't look at all appealing to me. |

I personally found Master and Commander rather boring (I did like the weevil thing though). I was surprised that I liked Cold Mountain. Renee Zellweger's performance makes it worth watching. The Last Samurai was...rather boring. while I think Cate Blanchett is an amazing actress, I usually hate the movies she's in, but The Missing was all right.

more to come later I'd say they're all worth a rental, if you like the sorts of movies they are. They're all very good within their genres, though I definitely think The Missing is the weakest of the 4. I thought The Last Samurai was ok, Master and Commander technically excellent but very boring, The Missing dull (but I hate westerns). I thought Cold Mountain was actually a very very good movie and I'd recommend it. |

First time seeing both. Yes I know, I'm late. I don't see many movies.

For the record, linds and I disagree about Big Fish-- I think I gave it a C+ or so-- but I still respect her as a human being.  |

Well, I'd give it no higher than a B+. It was a very good film, but some performances were lacking. I didn't really like the casting of Steve Buscemi as the poet guy. The only part that really worked for him was the bank robbery scene. Crudup did a great job as Will Bloom. I think he did the best job out of the cast. MacGregor was very good, but i just couldn't really appreciate his entire performance. It's not a movie I'd purchase, but it was a good rent.
