I saw Nashville over the weekend. This was in the AFI 100 top movies, so I figured it would be worth watching. It wasn't really very good. A typical Robert Altman movie with lots of different story lines going on all at once, and no real plot to speak of. But it gave you a feeling of Nashville in the '70s. I'm not so sure that's a good thing. I wouldn't recommend it.

Then last night I saw Blue, the first of the three "color" films. Juliet Binoche. It wasn't bad. A typical foreign subtitle artsy film. I enjoyed it. Kinda slow, but it was supposed to be. It worked.

Pan's Labyrinth. Liked it. Bou't all.

I really want to see Pan's Labyrinth. I've read good things about it.

I am fond of his Yojimbo remake.
Still a piece of shit compared to the orig.

Watched it last week, not sure why I didn't post here about it.

I didn't like it ... some interesting fantasy elements, fairly clumsy special effects, but it was really what I should have expected based on the excitement over it during the Oscars. Whatever did I really think it would be ... foreign, subtitled, everybody gushes over it ... gotta be two hours of pure misery with an overlay of crushing depression.

Felt the same way about Life is Beautiful, incidentally.

Battlestar Galactica season 2

Pirates of the Caribbean...the first one, I've never seen them and decided it was time.

Screamers - How many times must I repeat the same mistake?? NEVER, EVER, EVER watch a movie based on a science fiction short story that you really liked. With very few exceptions (you know, that Schwarzeneggar movie based on the PK Dick Story, We Can Remember it For You Wholesale, I never remember the name of the movie, even though I actually liked it) they are all screwed up! At least I am glad that I didn't pay money to see this in a theater.

Monsters, Inc. - Super cute.

I also just started playing around with the Netflix "watch now" feature. Not bad, and I managed to clear some crap off my queue that I really don't need to see all of.

Total Recall

Thank you. See, the title makes it even funnier that I can never remember it, because I pretty much have that ...

Premonition
 

We watched Premonition with Sandra Bullock, it was ok. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

The Oscars have been a joke for longer than I have been alive.
When I say I "liked" it, it means I was not bored and was interested enough to finish it.
Some elements were really good. The costumes (outstanding), cinematography, art direction, lighting and a few other elements were really good.
I'm looking at things many of you don't even see.
The script and a lot of the acting really sucked, the director should have been fired.

i think Pan's Labyrinth was way too hyped up for me. I was expecting something much better. Today I'm going to buy "Hot Fuzz" which I heard was good and "Zodiac" which I also heard was good...more to come.

Lady Death

Just purchased the BBC Planet Earth box set and David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth. The BBC has been kickin' ASS lately.
I also have the Blue Planet box set, I have watched it more than most movies that I own, that I can think of. It is amazing!
Can't wait to watch the new ones.
Purchased the Planet Earth box after only watching two of the episodes.

Gonna buy 300 today on Blu-Ray, cause he's hot...I mean cause it's a really good movie:D
