What a load of old bollocks. The ending was one of the worst I have seen for years. Sci-Fi mumbo jumbo.

I concur! really ugly movie, it's devoid of imagination.

I'm overwhelmingly excited to see The imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, purely because Tom Waits plays the devil.



And the last film I watched was The Temple of Doom. It's not as good as I first thought. Last Crusade is better.

^ Great movie, trippy enough. Some scenes are great and the movie successfully sucks us into the nightmares of Jacob. The ending is predictable, but I don't think it was meant to be surprising. What should make our mind boggle is the trip in itself. On the other hand, what really was a bummer, is the lack of imagery. Seeing the movie poster, we should expect the mind-blowing disfigurement of one's self. However, watching the deleted scenes, all the imagery was there. Seems it was hard to put all these raw images and still have a progressive evolution in the movie.

I recently saw that myself. Excellent film. I didn't think the ending was predictable, at least not right away. I also saw the documentary with the deleted scenes and thought they were better left out. The final cut is much more ambiguous and subtle and all the better for it...

I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 9 last weekend.

Cloudy was outstanding, it's rare I have that much fun in the theatres.

As for 9...I was sorely disappointed. It was like being thrown into an end boss fight, beating it, fighting it again, and then watching the ****ty ending.

I watched Observe and Report this weekend (wasn't that bad, was a lot better then I actually expected) and The Mutant Chronicles (kinda Sci-Fi channelish, but was pretty good and had a great cast. It's worth a glance atleast).

Recently I lost my ability to use netflix, but I started watching a crazy adaptation of Alice in wonderland called just Alice. It was foreign and re-dubbed in english but it was ****ing crazy and I really wanna finish watching it.

I finally got around to watching Watchmen so now I can read the damn comic I bought six months ago. If you're curious as to why I waited to read the comic it's a rule I've adopted when faced with Alan Moore comics becoming films. I've found that while the films are quite adequate on their own, however the knowledge of what's going to happen as well as the major changes done to the characters severely retracts from the movie. It shouldn't though, but it does, so because of that I now watch the movies first so I can enjoy them for what they are, and then read the comics so I can enjoy them for what they are.

I find it's more fun usually to read the book, and enjoy it more because the movie hasn't already ruined it for you, and then watch the movie and if it's good say how well it adapted the book, and if it's bad, as in most cases, you can pick it apart and make fun of every bit.

But that's just me
