My sister warned me not to see the new Indiana Jones. I don't know why exactly, she started crying uncontrollably.

I saw Iron Man and it was very entertaining. Robert D Jr is very good at what he does, as evidenced by A Scanner Darkly. Pepper Pots made me feel lonely when the movie ended. Score: Good Casting, generally; Paltrow won't return emails. Also, I was disturbed that everyone in the theater ("theatre" for you European folks) laughed spontaneously when bad guys were shot in the face.

As is often the case, rm is perfectly right. No Country for Old Men was and is fucking brilliant, and There Will be Blood broke me in half. It may be the best ending in modern film history... and I'll have you know I have seen TENS OF FILMS. Then again, I'm an absolute sucker for pt anderson, so add salt to flavor. Ditto on 3:10.

Unrelated to modern happenings, I just watched The Seventh Seal. It's a land mine.

It steals from a lot of movies, but it really specifically, in a 'that-can't-be-a-coincidence' way, rips off Clonus.
The producers of Clonus actually sued the producers of the Island.
And Won. The amount that they won was probably a lot more than the movie's actual budget.
Clonus's budget, that is.
Seriously, any single scene in the Island probably cost more than the entirety of Clonus, but Clonus is, oh, at least TWICE as good.
And Clonus has Dick Sargeant, the 2nd Darrin from "Bewitched"! If that doesn't make you want to see it, I don't know what will.

Changing gears just slightly:

So we went to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday at the first show (gotta love $4 tickets) it was a good time. Classic Jack Black humor mixed with Dreamwork's goodness = teh win.

Next on the list will be The Incredible Hulk then after that will be Hellboy 2, Just in time for my Birthday on the 16th.

On a side note I tend to limit cinema trips to those flicks which are more visually appealing; 'big' pictures need a big screen

Stranger than fiction is good. No staying power in my book.


For those who loves to play just watch Yojimbo and 'for a fistfull of dollars' back to back.

And both are good too.

don't ask me why but the family decided to rent the last rambo movie over the weekend. I think my dad thought it was the last rocky movie instead. my sister was like, "ooOOooOO he kills 398 people in this!" and my dad says, "I can only go for about 160." and my god was it ever graphic and gruesome. I mean... I was uncomfortable watching it knowing that my dad doesn't like watching extreme gore. because it was extremely gory, you see. and it wasn't nearly as bad, plot/script-wise as I thought it would be. some bad acting at the beginning, but it's rambo, so... and old man sly actually looked pretty good. so there's this big battle at the end and he cuts down an entire jungle with a machine gun and everyone explodes in a stop-motion gut strewn bloody mess legs flying off brains plopping out and then it's over and rambo goes home to arizona with a bad haircut and my dad says, "I think I thought we were watching a rocky movie."
