crap. i haven't been updating this.
I saw Antichrist today. It was really intense. My mother was going to go. I need to stop her.
I want to say why it was intense. but i don't want to give anything away..... and even just talking about it to monica would upset her i think.
Jeeves and Wooster. This is a Fry and Laurie (of House fame) british comedy series from 1990. Based on the stories by pg wodehouse that monica has been reading lately. Saw one about a soup company and a painter, and twin nephews who are supposed to be on a boat to south africa. It was really entertaining. I didn't understand a lot of it, because the dialogue is fast, british, and the vocabulary is way beyond my grasp.... but it was still really funny. Fry and Laurie have hilarious facial expressions.
We saw The SOund oF Thunder last night.
its the one where its 2055, and a company does a safari where they take 2 rich people back in time to shoot a dinosaur. they do it without changing any events. but then someone steps on a butterfly, and when they come back to 2055 there are time waves that keep making things more and more prehistoric-ish. The cg is HORRIBLE. the premise is amazing. I really liked the baboon dinosaurs (which hang from roofs like bats), and giant killer bats. and plants that kill people. Ben Kingsley is really great in this. he knows the movie is shitty and seems to have a good time. i swear there is a part where he laughs because of how dumb the dialogue is, and not because it was scripted.
Day After Tomorrow. THis was really pretty great. It is so over the top and intense and unreasonable. Also... the fact that only people north of New York (that parallel) are actually effected by the storms. it just snowed some in mexico... so now everyone has to just live further south. big whoop.
Waterworld: This movie is great. Dennis Hopper is super entertaining in this one. Kevin Costner is super super dull, but it makes it funnier. I really like all the sets, and how the bad guys live in the exxon valdez.
Big Man Japan. I watch a lot of japanese movies. And i like the japanese aesthetic... but this was just too slow and dull for me.
Human Condition. On the other hand. i have seen 7.5 hours of this 9.5 hour movie (i'll finish it soon), and it is way more enjoyable and watchable than Big Man Japan which was 100 minutes.
