Knowing.

Jeeeesus Nicholas Cage just keeps going farther down the drain for me. The disasters that occur were amazing visually. I was surprised at how good things look, but it gets to the point where I can't stand the completely retarded secondary plot that becomes the cause of everything. It's sci-fi retardation. It really is.

A Scanner Darkly 6.5/10
It was worth watching because of the visual style. The rest was pretty boring.

I thought the movie was actually pretty good aside. It gets a little harder to follow but who knows. The book might have been better though. Haven't read it.

Myeah I guess it has a decent story... in the end. But it's not one of those "Woah this is so unexpected and shocking!"-endings. I couldn't care much about it.
Acting was pretty good too I guess. Nothing special though.

I actually found a lot of humor in it from how messed up those people were due to the drugs.

Shortbus

"A group of New Yorkers get caught up in their romantic-sexual milieu converge at an underground salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality."

Sounds good right? Well, this came up on one of my roomies netflix recommendations list and she decided to add it. Low and behold it ended up being a very odd, homoerotic, nudity filled film that made me look away from the screen much more often than I anticipated...yet in the end, gave off a very "Christmasy" vibe after much turmoil and noise had dissipated.

Just know that within the first 5 mins of the movie you will see three penises, one of which is that of a man who jerks off INTO his mouth....no lie...

In Bruges. 8/10.
Great acting by Colin Farrell. I barely recognized him.
And European cities are always interesting.

Star Trek: Insurrection. 6/10.
Blech I don't like Star Trek. Patrick Stewart and the weird skin-stretching race were the only things that made it interesting. Oh, it's very predictable. Halfway through you can already see most details of the ending coming.

Edit: A Scanner Darkly's bike gear scene was great.

[Teuthida]

You should read the book. The movie took a few scenes and plays them out in full (like with the bike) but cuts out a lot that would make it easier to follow.

La Haine - 1995 Vincent Cassel n crew as hoods in Paris following a police brutality induced riot. It was entertaining enough.

doberman - 1997 V.C. again in a rather bad B action exploit. Monica Belucci plays the mute chica to Vince's gangster role. If you want pointlessness to drive you for a while watch this.

Sword of doom - 1966 Kihachi Okamoto Rather bleak chop film. Follows an evil protagonist, high body count. The sword action isn't the best, good film though. Style!

Zombieland.

It was awesome.

Sllumdog Millionaire- Really good movie, much better than the Wrestler... but what the hell with the random dance number at the end?

Best part of the movie. Well not really, but it still was great.

[Bond]

Bollywood tradition.

[Swan]

Dance number was great.


Lets see, Saw Zombieland on the weekend. Rather fun.


Saw Pi last week sometime. It was good, but I will need to rewatch.

And saw Audition on the weekend. Love Miike's stuff

Sleeping Beauty

Oozing with style. Such a pretty film. The story is pretty bland but the great animation and backgrounds help make up for it. And Maleficent is hot.



Need to catch up on other Disney animated films I haven't seen in their entirety.
