Aliens of the Deep.


Jimmy Cameron's IMAX documentary...the name and the first 15 minutes made the premise gleefully delicious, and the rest of the 75 mins didn't. For the most part, it was talk, talk and more talk inside the subs between Cameron and his film-making crew, and crew from the NASA.

The so-called ocean "Aliens" don't make a show till late in the second half, and even then, they are offered bare minimum screen-space (about 8 mins or so). Overall, I was pretty disappointed by this one. Marine engineers and explorers might go ga-ga over it, but I was left wanting.

funny games remake (2008)

i went in expecting to be disappointed on a few levels, but came out feeling very pleased (well...as "pleased" as one can feel after watching this movie). i definitely wasn't disappointed. i mean, it's not as good as the original probably for the simple fact that it's not the original, but it was still extremely effective. the performances were good, too (naomi watts was great).

i think fans of the original will be satisfied.

Blood Simple - 9/10
I was in a Coen Brothers mood today. I love this film. It never gets old. Later, I will probably watch No Country For Old Men....AGAIN!!:D

Horton Hears a Who


wasn't looking forward to this one ... getting really sick of jim carrey and steve carell ... and i didn't much enjoy them in this one either...

BUT........


the visuals were stunning .. especially the whoville scenes.

otherwise - seeing people/creatures fall down, drop things, eggagerated movements ... the same old shit shown in every single god damn animated film in the last 5 years was all right there again.

speaking of which - there was an ad for Ice Age 3....

i'm sure it will disappoint as well.

Wedding Crashers


I have heard that Horton was pretty good and the wife wants to see it too so at least I know the visuals are good.

Daughters of Darkness

atmospheric vampire movie with no fangs, very little blood, and lots of boobs.
didnt build up any tension or provide any scares but it had that european 70's vibe that i like. (and a couple of very attractive ladies)
