Just watched Dead Alive.

Best Peter Jackson film yet

Suspect X

Very good. It's a continuation of the Japanese drama, Galileo, where a university physics professor teams up with a rookie detective to solve cases that usually at first appear paranormal. All of which are based on a series of novels. I watched the series last year which I enjoyed, but the movie was a step up and stands alone very well with a self contained murder mystery.

I watched The Hours last night. Not a movie I normally seek out, but my mom got it on Netflix so I watched it with her. I swear this movie came out in 2005 or 2006, but apparently it came out in 2002. Anyway, it's intense and dramatic and sad as hell, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Many good performances in it. I had to drink a lot of wine during and afterward though because it bummed me out.

I just saw Wolverine Origins and I just can't believe Stan Lee let his name get attached to that film. I guess they offered him large sums of money....

Anyway, we all know Origins was shit so I'll talk about the other film I watched, which was W..

W. was not very good...at all...Oliver Stone has some good ideas, and he's a great cinematographer. And Josh Brolin did a helluva job playing George Bush Jr. I wasn't sold on him at first, but as the movie went on his acting got better and the role became believable. And that's about it. The movie was exaggerated, made too many personal implications about the Bush family, and it kept alluding to Bush's God-agenda. It portrayed Bush senior pretty negatively too. But the weirdest part is that the movie was released right before Bush finished his 2nd term...why not just wait till Bush is done?

It was an interesting biopic, but it needed more humor and less exaggeration. And this whole, "Bush is on a crusade through some higher power" this was overdone imo. I'm all for the juxtaposition of religion's peaceful message and war, but meh.

I've seen too many shitty movies in the past 72 hours. Need to go clense myself with good cinema...bleh.

Misa Mi. 6/10
A Swedish kids movie about a young girl who befriends a wolf in the forest. Wolf gets shot etc...
Gorgeous nature, interesting language.

Flightplan. 8/10.

Had almost everything you wanted. Suspense, psychological doubt, atmosphere, good soundtrack, some action.

I just saw the new Star Trek movie last night, it was pretty good. It had a lot of references to the older movies/shows, and the plot was very good as well. It was a bit more flashy than most Star Trek movies, but that's to be expected in this generation.

Ric · 05-23-2009, 01:11 AM

Saw the new star trek, thought it was cool. I made comments about it in another thread though so I wont say more about it now.

I watched The Golden Compass, surprisingly good I thought, just left me wondering one thing at the end though which was... where's the rest of the film???

Teuthida · 05-23-2009, 03:16 AM

It's a trilogy of books so the story would continue into the next film...but it doesn't look like they'll be made.

The audio books are quite good. Different actors for every character with the narration by the author. Very enjoyable.

Yeah...considering the first movie bombed pretty hard, it's not likely a sequel will arise and if it does, probably bomb harder then the first one.

It's a shame. It's a much better story and film than Harry Potter IMO.

Anyway. Recently watched 2 Japanese Anime's.

Paprika - About a dream machine that can allow others to enter your dreams and also allows you to jump to your dream whenever you want.
Of course the technology is mis-used with the concequence being everyones dreams beginning to merge into one and people getting killed as they have 'waking dreams' over which they have no control. There's much more to it than that but if I say any more I will spoil it. Definately worth a watch. Highly recommended. Available in English Dub.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - About a girl who realises she can leap through time and begins to do so in order to craft her life to the way she wants it to be. With some funny plot twists and an in depth story this is yet another film I highly recommend. Available with English Subs.

Street Fighter.. my mind now knows horrors beyond its greatest imagination.

How one movie manages to get so much wrong is beyond me.

Paprika

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

It's funny how I downloaded both of those at the same time and watched them consecutively, that was half a year ago. They are both finely crafted animes. I'd recommend watching Mind Game(2004) as well.

Angrist · 05-28-2009, 03:31 AM

I watched Paprika a year ago or so. I just received The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, I'll watch it within a week.

Teuthida · 05-28-2009, 04:26 PM

^ All great. Think Mind Game is my favorite of the three. Awesome movie. Actually used it for some project for a class.

Just saw Bolt. I rather enjoyed it. A few plotholes...but still very fun.
