Waking Life (2001)

For the second time. Remains a brilliant, awe-inspiring and mind-blowing exploration of life, the universe and everything whipped up with some dazzling animation.

Dr. No (1962)

For the nth time. Action, adventure, sex, spying... great times.

Smokin' Aces (2007)A bit disappointing. Some really juicy big, dumb shoot-'em-up ( Read more... )

Vanilla Sky is one piece of shit but Waking Life is worst films of all time material.

Did you ever see that episode of South Park with the hippies talking about how they had just been to their first semester of college and it opened their eyes? That's what Waking Life is like with philosophy, dumbed down so some stoner who picked it up just for the animation (no offense, like) can say: 'Woah... we're so insignificant'.

As far as worst films of all time (that I've seen) go, I'm still ranking Gozilla vs. King Kong, Attack of the Clones and The Matrix Reloaded higher but Waking Life still helps round out the top 4. I think Amelie or Moulin Rouge might be 5th, I'd need to think about it when I wasn't enveloped in such a hash cloud.

Haven't seen Rocky Balboa but I can't imagine I'd like it, considering he doesn't die in the ring. I mean, he gets told that he is brain damaged and can never fight again in V!!!! I mean, that one fight with Tommy Gun maybe (especially due to the line I don't hear no bells ringin'... ONE MORE ROUND!) but ( ... )

Waking Life doesn't make me feel insignificant. :-) I think it' a fascinating collection of ideas. I don't find it to be "dumbed down" particularly - if you're not a quick study, or already familiar with the ideas - entire chapters and concepts can whizz past before you've even gained a foothold.

Worst films I've ever seen:

1. Alone In The Dark
2. Mr. Rice's Secret
3. Elephant
4. Batman & Robin
5. Awakenings

Neither Attack Of The Clones nor the Matrix seuels would make a bottom 100, for my money. Being as there's so many actually bad films out there, as opposed to fanboy-enraging sequels. :-D
