Finally went to see Up today in the theaters. It was awesome as expected. I can't help but imagine what the little kids in the theater were thinking during that first bit though. There were some pretty heavy emotional things happening there and I wondered whether it registered with them or not. Either way, once again Pixar does well.

Porco Rosso

Damn that was surprisingly good. Well, I shouldn't have been surprised. It's Miyazaki after all. The concept just never appealed to me which is why it took so long for me to see it. And I love how his baddies usually end up to be very likable characters.

Breakfast At Tiffany's. 7/10.
Nice, but I don't really see what the big fuzz is about. The song is better than the movie. :-)

Billy Wilder's The Apartment > Breakfast at Tiffany's
Made a year earlier, it's got Jack Lemmon. It's better.

Recently started watching Jpod. Based on the novel by douglas coupland. Highly recommend if you like things of a Canadian nature.

One, Two, Three by Wilder starring James Cagney. Incredibly fast paced and witty cold war satire. Instantly one of my favorite movies.

Pleasure Tranet. I mean Treasure Planet. 7/10.
Pretty entertaining Disney movie! Likable characters, sweet hoverboarding action. And the Treasure Island story, which I didn't really know yet. In space this time.

Armageddon in HD. 8/10
Still a great movie. Somehow I was pretty emotionally attached. The visual effects were up to par with today's standards. That probably means movie visuals haven't improved in the last 10 years. Which probably means that it's not needed/possible.

30 Days of Night. 6/10.
A horror movie with vampire-zombies in an Alaskan town. Enjoyable, nothing more. Nice concept, decent acting, ok atmosphere. Just some stupid things in there that could have been much better.

Edit: Maybe they were zombie-vampires.

Not so much a movie but I watched the first 3-4 episodes of Firefly

The Germanator · 08-08-2009, 03:31 PM

I watched Eraserhead last night. Well, that was something. Not much more to be said about that. I feel like the end is a pretty good case for veganism because that thing kind of looks like a chicken.

Shi mian mai fu (House of Flying Daggers). 7/10.
What can I say? I didn't like the story too much. Not enough action. The flying daggers were cool to see, but the unrealism of them spoiled most of it for me. The pretty pictures weren't as good an as many as in Hero (which I give a 9/10).

Edit: Firefly is great, I hope you like it.

Barton Fink

Oozing (literally) with symbolism. Almost wish I was still in college so I could write a paper on it for a film class.

Not sure if these count but I saw two Jimmy Carr DVDs, In Concert and Comedian. Hilarious.

I'm on a roll?
The Breakfast Club. 8/10.
The writer/director apparently died? John Hughes (family of yours Germy?). Some guy was talking about this movie so I had to see it as well. Pretty good, the redhead girl was cute!
