My Neighbor Totoro? You have excellent taste!

I've just finished Minority Report. I love it. Sure the story has some sizeable plot holes but it's still very enjoyable and really makes you think.
I'm of the opinion that Philip K. Dick (the author who's short stories have inspired many sci-fi movies) has some great ideas and premises but that he doesn't implement them all that well and isn't all that great a writer.

I watched "Batman and Robin" with a buddy of mine who had never seen it. WHAT? OF COURSE WE MADE FUN OF IT THE WHOLE MOVIE!
We also watched "Lord Slug" and gave up trying to place it in any legitimate Dragonball Z timeline.

A duck hears also." - Igor Stravinsky

The other night I watched The Goonies. It was actually the first time I'd ever seen that movie. I figured everyone else had seen it but me, it was time I catch up.
Tonight I'll watch Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh.

I plan on watching "Throne of Blood" soon. It is a 1957 remake of Shakespeare's Macbeth....done in Japanese in the style of Noh theatre.....it looks pretty good.

I've just watched Jet Li in Fearless. It had good action and the lead girl was very cute but the storyline wasn't all that good.

Now I'm off to watch Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood.

Watched Planet of the Apes last night. (The original, of course. I generally don't watch remakes.) It was surprisingly good. I think I had a vague idea that there were subsequent PotA movies. Now I'd kinda like to see them.

Ah yes, one of my favorite Simpsons bits. I was singing the "Dr. Zaius" song during the net scene. And at the end I was like, "...fi-n'ly made a mon-key out of meeeee!"

Anyway, tonight I'm watcing either Mad Max or Godzilla vs. Gigan.

The Sixth Sense- Awesome movie. Very typical of Shyamalan, with subtle music, tense atmosphere, and a great twist. I highly enjoyed it.

The Sixth Sense

Probably M. Night's best movie. And I liked all of them (except for The Happening, which I haven't seen), so that is saying something. Subtle, disturbing, well thought out, etc. It also had the best child actor that I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it and haven't had the ending spoiled for you I recommend that you rent it and watch it after nightfall.

[spoiler]Ironically, after managing to avoid having the ending spoiled for me all of my life, I called the final twist long before it happened.[/spoiler]

I just finished watching Charlotte's Web. Very good, I think I like this version as much as the old animated film I grew up with as a kid.

Just finished "Throne of Blood" by Akira Kurosaka. It depicted Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in a new light, and followed the play well. An excellent interpretation.

Last movie I saw was (the unfinished version of) Wolverine origins.Fun with cables for stunts, unfinished CG, things written on the screen (like "claws grow"), missing dialogue, chopped up music (I'm guessing it's not the final soundtrack), dirty compositing (a LOT... Including a very strange scene of a girl simply SITTING IN A CAR THAT'S NOT MOVING and another scene of Wolverine and a girl in a room together, not doing anything...) Makeshift placeholder effects (at the beginning, a helicopter is supposed to crash, but there's a cartoony flash and it simply disappears from the frame, and at another point a bottle of fake blood is supposed to be dumped on someone, but you simply see a flash of color... Why would blood need to be CG'd in? Really?), and entire locales that are untextured (such as what we're later told is "Nigeria" and the location of the final battle)

Besides that, the movie was pretty cool, but I'm really disappointed with the last battle... I'm not all THAT familiar with the comics, but I know enough about this particular character to know that's not what he's like...

I do like how they introduced Cyclops. I didn't think it would make sense, and it actually did. They very cleanly avoided plotholes that could have been left due to the previous 3 movies... With the cyclops / wolverine thing, anyhow... If not so much with... another character.

I also have my most hated xmen villain of all time, too... I'm not even sure he was a villain in the comics, but in this movie, Zero... Oh, man... Zero...
