In the Shadow of the Moon

Pretty good Apollo program ~ documentary movie. Well worth your time. 9/10

WWW has some good (read right) stuff too.

Went to a special debut night through a friend (astronomer club member had give away tickets)

I don't see why all the love for Crash on here. It was just too fucking in your face obvious with everything that I felt like I was watching an educational video on diversity day or something.

i agree...crash was too in your face obvious. it was still a decent movie but didn't deserve to be best picture.

Being John Malkovich- Had never seen this before. Very original. I highly recommend it.

I'd have to agree with your assessment of the movie overall, but if that's your idea of average looking CGI, what's good?

It's the CGI/motion capture combo that looks like shit IMO. It can't handle human facial expressions with any degree of fidelity. The tech for straight up animation/CGI appears more capable anyway so what's the point?

Ah, I was unaware that that's what that was. I agree that the facial expressions are far from perfect and the way the horses galloped was noticeably wooden, but I thought overall the animation was excellent.

As a movie it was far better than Babel at least.

Semi-Pro ? :up: ?/10

it was a good movie but i can't really give it a proper score as i was sitting next to two drunk kids who kept saying stupid shit like, "oh my god did you see that? that was hillarious hahaha." and then they'd proceed to quote lines that were just said 2 seconds prior. i missed about half the movie thanks to those twats.

30 Days of Night: 5/10. Great setting, good premise, and nicely shot. I'm pretty much sick to death of SURVIVE DA ZOMBIES flicks...and that's more or less the ride you're on between the promising beginning and the decent ending (substituting vamps for zombies of course). Not enough background info on the peeps and the baddies for me to be drawn in. It wasn't boring but it's not something I'd watch again.

Which is exactly why I usually don't watch comedies at the theatre.

Premonition - 3/10

When you make a movie that's story-driven, the story should make sense and not be riddled with holes and circular logic.

What a piece of shit.

also saw "30 days of night" on dvd. i was gonna give it 6/10 but i'll bump it down to 5/10 because the dvd shit itself over the subtitles. whenever the vamps would say something in vampirese it would be properly subbed... which would then turn on the subtitles so the humans would be subbed until i turned it off, only to repeat the process every few minutes. ghey. likely my "region free" dvd player. :shrug:

i don't watch many horror flicks as they're all pretty much the same shitty movie, especially now that everything's trying to be The Ring or Saw. *yawn* so this was ok. at least the people seemed aware that all their clever plans weren't really gonna work and up until the very end the vamps handled things pretty intelligently.

ps- on the topic of beowulf - i think i said this when i saw it in the theater, but it's worth repeating. the only redeeming thing about it was the 3d/imax. if the dvd doesn't have that you might as well rent a power rangers movie.

Jumper 5/10 Other than the concept and the F/X beeing ok, this movie was total crap. I fucking hate Hayden Christensen, how in the world did this guy got an acting job.

Into The Blue 8/10.

a movie with 120 minutes of jessica alba in a two piece bikini gets at least an 8/10.

she was in her prime for this movie. bit of meat still on her bones.

Godfather I--

I had never seen this one before. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree but I honestly thought it was a bit overrated. It is good though.

I just saw it for the first time a week ago or so and frankly I feel about the same.
