I just got finished rewatching it tonight. Originally, I said that Children of Men should have got an Oscar for cinematography and that Pan's stole it. I was wrong. Children of Men should have gotten the Oscar but Pan's didn't steal it. It was beautifully made and the lighting was just astonishing. Children of Men should have won because Pan's picked up 2 other awards. But I cannot say it stole it.

Just watched Adaptation for the umpteenth time, reinforcing my assessment that it's about the most brilliant movie ever made.
So many small things [like the subtle changes in posture and lighting regarding Chris Cooper's character] that make it brilliant, then you try to synthesize what makes it brilliant overall, all while watching a movie about making a movie that where the writer can't synthesize the brilliance he sees and slowly but enexorably sidles himself with the hackneyed plot devices he hates, resulting in a brilliant send-up of all those hackneyed plot devices. There's not a second of this movie that I don't love to pieces. PS - for those who know NOTHING about Adaptation, I suggest you see it once, get over your major case of WTFs, read everything you can about it, and watch it again. It's worth it. PPS - regarding the early iterations of Cooper's character, I think I know where Mike Judge got the inspiration for Luanne's Lucky.

So last night the mrs and I rented a couple(she picked one and I did the same) of movies and although I'm not much on romantic comedy I have to admit the mrs did rather well with Over Her Dead Body,I actually laughed out loud a couple of times especially on the farting scene but what do you expect.
My choice was 21 and I enjoyed it quite a bit although it had some holes in it.Spacey was good as always and the movie definitely had me jonesin' for another trip to Vegas.

Watched Jumper last night. Anyone seen it?
It was ok, but nothing special. Hayden (I have zero personality) Christenson, was better in it than Anakin, but i guess thats not saying much. It was a cool premise, but it didnt have enough of a script.

I finally got around to seeing the Big Labowski. I thought it was okay for a story about nothing. I loved the characters and acting (so many people ). But I just fail to see why so many people put it up on a pedestal.

Watch it a few more times and get back to me. And don't just do it at once. This is a movie that grows on everyone who gives it a chance. Your reaction is exactly how I felt and a bunch of other friends, but trust me, you will be rewarded for watching it a few more times. The lines that are delivered are amazing, but it takes a few viewing until you realize how perfect they are. Once you can watch it and say the lines along with the character, it will have hooked you for life. Probably the most quotable movie ever.

"That's how much f*** fish" is possibly my favorite line in any movie.

I nearly hated it the first time I watched it. But I give every movie I watch two shots. I can go back the second time with a little better idea of what to expect. Every time I watch BL, I like it a little more. |

I watched 25th Hour the other day. Excellent flick, IMHO.
