Envy (2004)
Decent
I didn't have high expectations going into the advanced screening of Envy, but came out pleasantly surprised. It is not a great movie, but it is also not a terrible movie. There's no real surprises plot-wise, but there are a fair share of funny scenes, and the process of getting to the end is fun. I thought it was definitely a stiff PG-13 rating, in other words I wouldn't bring any kids under the age of 13 to this one. A lot of swearing & an interesting [verbal] hot tub scene. I also thought Stiller & Black complemented each other well. One being your classic wild & crazy comedic actor, the other being your classic dry sense of humor, understated actor. Stiller & Walken made the movie for me, that could just be personal preference though.
The Alamo (2004)
5/10
I was disappointed with The Alamo because I thought it could have been better. There were scenes which were enjoyable. Billy Bob's character, Davy Crockett, is one of the only highlights acting-wise in this one. In my opinion, he comes close to stealing the show. Although it isn't really that difficult in this film. Something about it just didn't work for me. It's tough to put a finger on exactly what it was. Possibly just that the slow beginning didn't draw me in as it should have. Possibly the ending. Who knows. It was nice to see from a historical perspective, as some youth these days may not know much about the real story behind Texas as a state. As a film though, it fell a little short for me.
