Other movie goodness

Downloaded and watched, then went out and bought the specialest DVD versions I could find of Silent Hill and V for Vendetta.

V for Vendetta - despite differences from comic to movie, I enjoyed it. Anything with Agent VElrond in it is worth a watching, plus Ms. Portman and John Hurt... She did get overshadowed a bit by the male actors

Re: I want to see Silent Hill....

yeah, but fahernheit 451 and the like were more anti totalitarian and pro personal freedom (if not pro-democracy). V was pretty much dead on anti-christian right (in US political terms), and focused more on revenge then any kind of liberation. I would've like the anti Thatcherian, pro anarchy theme better. But what do you expect from the Wachowskis'? It make you wonder if the Original Matrix was cryptic and mysterious on purpose. Not to mention the gay blokes' "last holy quoran", painting Muslims as some kind of world wide victum of Zionists and Christian cursaders. If I want that tripe, I'll save my bandwidth and go read the Dailly Kos.

And the whole thing of Guy Fawkes trying to over throw a christian theocracy is a little ironic, and probebly lost on the wachowskis.

Natilie Portam never disapoints though and the dialog was good though out. I can't remeber who played the decetive but I've seen him in other stuff and liked his work.

I'm not trying to piss all over your journal entry, but that movie was simultaniously entertaining and horrible. It reminds me of talking to Mike Page. You know he's lying, but its a good story.

I think this movie was worse the Hostle.
