    Just watched Signs with my dad. It gets better every time. ^^

    I love Signs!

  2.  

    I just watched Bicycle Thieves. It was sort of a strange movie. It seemed more like a camera was following a guy and his son around than an actual movie. It was really good, though, and the end almost made me cry.

  3.  

    I saw about half of Coppola’s Dracula last night. I liked it a lot stylistically, and it was extremely creepy, but I’m not sure I liked the whole ‘Mina is Dracula’s wife reincarnated’ bit.

    That’s the one with Keanu Reeves, isn’t it?
    I only saw the first half of it, but I particularly liked the scene with Lucy in the labyrinth in the rain.

  5.  

    I watched An Unfinished Life last night. It was quite good. :D

    Princess and the Frog is the cutest movie ever! And the songs are actually quite catchy!

    Just saw _The Ghost Writer_, with Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan. Excellent thriller that doesn't rely on shock tactics to rack up the tension. The payoff at the end of the film is great, and that last shot is absolutely fantastic.

    I watched Lord of the Flies. I am pleasantly surprised. It was pretty good. Much better than the ’90s one. The acting wasn’t great, but they were very, very faithful to the book, and it was just really well-done, save for a few technical sound problems. It was even on VHS. I hadn’t watched one of those in a while.

    For me it didn’t feel like Indiana Jones, in the original 3 films everything they did was semi-plausible. And then in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull they survive a Nuke, Mutt turns Tarzan/Monkey King, the bullcrap about the magnetic gunpowder. And the aliens…

    I see the words 'magnetic gunpowder.'

    I think 'a magnet could hold a bullet inside a gun. This is awesome.'

    Then I think 'could a magnetic bullet theoretically realign the magnetic domains along the barrel of the gun?'

    From that I move to 'could one fire a bullet, and have it slingshot back to the gun?'

    Then I thought 'I'll post my thought process as a post.

    Then I type 'I see the words 'magnetic.. ' okay no not doing that.
  72.  

    Well, it still kept the whole “there are things in which man ought not meddle” theme that’s pretty central to the previous movies and tried to update it from adventure serials to sci-fi serials to reflect the passage of time, which is kinda clever, but doesn’t really work that well. Fighting Nazis over religious artifacts is just more fun than fighting Russians over alien hoopajoops and what have you, but the second way wasn’t that bad.

    The Tarzan bit was really, really stupid though. That’s the only thing in the movie I outright hated.

    The fridge nuke didn’t bother me that much just because Indy movies are fairly silly about that sort of thing anyway.

    • CommentAuthorRocky
    • CommentTimeMar 18th 2010
     
    I agree with the nuke and the Tarzan bit. The former could have been cut, and the second...well, that should've been cut, too. Two other things that annoyed me were the lack of booby traps, and the fact that I never got to hear that lovely revolver of his fire.

    It has to be noted, though, that no matter what the critics and fans say about, I had an absolute blast at the midnight premiere. I don't regret that one bit.

    Practical gore? Please elaborate on the meaning of practical gore. And I have no problem with prosthetics when they’re done well. The prosthetics in Wolfman were not done well in any sense of the word. They’re supposed to be, y’know, a bit scary, right? Strike some fear into your heart, maybe? It’s not too much to ask, I think.

    As for acid-inspired CGI fests, I have no problem with them if they’re done well either.

    Practical vs. CG. I would've that was clear, but apparently simple defintions must be supplied.

    bq. The prosthetics in _Wolfman_ were not done well in any sense of the word.

    Then your education in prosthetics is woefully elementary. _The Wolfman_ is about a man turning into a lycanthropic hybrid, of which Rick Baker did and did so extremely well. You were expecting either a wholly grotesque mass of bristled fur or some ultra-nimble CGI rendering. As for being scary? I don't recall the point of the prosthetics being to make you scream or squirm, but rather make it look like, you know, a WOLFMAN. The squirming comes when you watch throats rip open and limbs break off.

    bq. Alas, I may never trust your movie taste again.

    You don't get to question my taste in film until you grow up.
