I watched "End of Watch" lastnight, good movie but way more intense than I thought it was going to be.  And of course there was that certain song at the end of the movie.

LIFE OF PI  6 stars. Beautiful but SLOW. Maybe I should read the book.

I loved it
I don't see how it provides a parable for proof of the existence of God as some people seem to think
I would have thought it was exactly the opposite

The idea, as the character says, is that if you can't know something for sure, then it's best to believe in the happier option. I think what's wrong with the movie is that Pi explains all of it, it actually reminded me of Inception. I wish I had liked it a lot better.

i saw Oz: The Great and Powerful tonight. it's nothing special but i didn't think it was awful. the wicked witch of the west ended up looking better than i thought it would. the ending was decent-ish. it made up for the first half of the movie, which was pretty uneventful and boring. 5.8/10.

Yeah but a spitefull, nasty, vengefull woman hating Christian God isn't really the happier option, is it?

Well, if it didn't convince you it shouldn't negatively affect you either, ahah

Oblivion
Ok, too long
The cinema was boiling hot and made me feel sick so that might have Influenced my views
Lots of " influences" worn a bit too heavily esp The Penultimate Truth by PK DIck
The first quarter was the best and Tom Cruise is quite good in it but the script/ story was lacking tension
set and technical design was nice and ok action scenes but ended up feeling a bit made for TVish towards the end
Was just relieved it was over really
Doesn't compare well to Minority Report which I love

[fifiroxy]

Basically I think Tom Cruise hijacked the film with his personal issues
He seemed a bit too keen to portray a family with a kid that looked remarkably like his own in various slushy overly romantic family scenarios
Not very subtle Tom

Danger: Diabolik 8/10 Whacked out Italian Swinging 60s heist movie from an Italian comic book (anti)hero. Very Sixties, complete with psychedelic drugs scene, underground 'supervillain' lair and fast cars. Unusually, the 'hero' is a robber, thief, murderer and by today's terms terrorist.
You'd love it, Fi!

made relatively well known by MST3K. I have a Danger Diabolik poster up in my room.

Hilarious movie with the lovely what's-her-name necking with Diabolik on a bed of cash.

The Ennio Morricone score was lost in a fire and the only thing that remains is this, one of my favourite little italian 60s numbers:

Yes!

Followed that up with the equally whacked 'Project X', another 60s film about a spy in the future who's had his mind wiped by the Chinese (or Sinoese as they're called in the movie) and scientists who have 7 days to get inside his subconscious to find out what he discovered in China. Chris Nolan owes the makers a pint or two...

In The House

Gonna go in the week

[fifiroxy]

Ended up seeing Star Trek instead
Not my choice I might add
it was just the most ridiculous piece of trash filmmaking I have ever seen
A total fucking mess
Don't waste your money
People were laughing at scenes that weren't meant to be funny
I fell asleep for the second half

Upstream Color

From the guy who made Primer. Not nearly as convoluted, which is good. I loved it.
