Finally got around to seeing I am Legend. Very good genre flick and a really standout preformance by Will Smith.

The Roundhay Garden Scene

The movements do not look natural. The man in the forefront is walking around in a circle, and the woman behind him is twisting about. It presents a highly disjointed look and feel.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

I thought this film was quite enjoyable and better than the original (in my mind). I must admit I was quite surprised so many big named actors were in the film, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris ect. It got me thinking, does the President really have a book of secrets?

Atonement

Really good film. I liked Saorise Ronan and James McAvoy, Keira Knightley was okay but not as good as the other two. Is Briony a common British name?

I Remember Mama  (1948)

One of my all-time favorites. I highly recomend it, but there's not much demand for 40's nostalgia films today, especially among my age group.

Spirited Away

Nice, interesting story which seemed to me to be about greed and maturity. Reviews have been very favourable and so probably built my expectations too much, but still a good piece of work.

Mulholland Dr.

A very aesthetic and artsy thriller/horror, abeit one without a clear plot. What remains of the plot moves slowly at times and it is too long. I would say overrated, but the originality aspect was certainly intruiging.

It does have a fairly clear plot. Ok, not exactly clear, but there is a story there (about the girl murdering her lesbian lover out of jealousy and then trying to run away from the fact by making up some fantasy).

Source?

... Ah, I have just read an explanation on the internet that fits it together... for the most part.

I will confess that that particular twist was hard for me to see because I was more involved in the plotline and attracted to the characters in the 'dream' plot myself!

That ending is the weakest part of the movie, they had a great movie going and a lame copout then.

The Incredibles

Finally saw it, and while it was entertaining, um... Nietzsche much? The film was almost disgustingly Nazi.

Yeah, that's as puzzling as Gully Foyle's interpretations of movies.

Well, the entire film is about how the unwashed masses are dragging down the great, how the great have to be mediocre to fit in. The message isn't that horrible, in that it's encouraging children to be exceptional and unique and everything, but the problem is that, in the movie, only people born as "Supers" can be super. The villain (I forgot his name), becomes super by working hard and being intelligent, but because he's not a Super by blood, he is cursed to a fate of mediocrity.

Raging Bull

Pretty much what I expected. Best part? The movie's total focus on the portrayal of one man. Worst part? The movie's total focus on the portrayal of one (rather simple) man.

Perhaps one day I should bore you to death on the significant of Pulp Fiction?

About how it's one of the greatest movies ever made, and the full depth of its complexity and brilliance? In that case yes.

this vacation, I have rented and viewed...

Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Donnie Brasco
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

think that's it.  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is en queue, so to speak.

Halloween 2007: The Rob Zombie version

Liked: Doesn't try to replicate every line or the exact structure of the original.
Disliked: Another remake.
Thought was interesting: This movie focuses a lot more on Michael Myers, who in the original was really just a dark, shadowy instrument of terror. In this one he is actually the subject itself.
Kicker: This movie destroys the myth of the original.

The Pursuit of Happyness

Very good movie; it even made me smile at the end.1 I don't think the part at the beginning where Reagan is talking about economics on TV was unintentional. Reaganomics=poor-hating.

1: I'm not very emotional; I didn't really care when a kid in my class died in 5th grade.2

2: Not in class, of course.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Nowhere near as funny as I'd hoped. Very disappointed (as I seem to be increasingly with Bill Murray films of recent times).

Das Leben der Anderen
Simply outstanding.
