The gang behind Open Water remake the Spanish film. I had some problems with that one and this one is no different, only now I can see them comming. Oh well.

An odd apocalyptic scenario. Actually despite being a relationship drama it's actually pretty unnerving. The loss of a sense, always pre-emted by an emotional outburst of some kind. It's pretty fascinating and Ewan McGregor and Eva Green are great. Keep an eye out for it.

Brian Cox and young Paul Dano romance it up. Yup. That happened.

Really like this one. Great Indie film from early in the last decade that was hampered by it's NC-17 rating. Still worth seeking out.

I am a pimp. And pimp's don't commit suicide.

It's a mess but I love it.

John Carpenter's first effort. A student film for the most part I believe. And yes, it's rough around the edges. And the actors are just friends. After watching hours of Alien extra features earlier this year I instantly recognised Dan O'Bannon's distinct voice.

It's not all there yet, but there are definitely parts of this I find absolutely hilarious. Some mostly for the concept rather than the execution of writing. Still fascinating to watch and an impressive effort considering the context n which it was made. 

You can also see the beginnings of the Alien story here, written as a reaction to how poorly this was recieved. I mean, there alien here is just a beach ball. But a hilarious beach ball nonetheless.

Dominic Cooper is so good. Actually so is the subtle make up and prosthetics that make him look just different enough to believe there's two different people that look very similar. 

It's odd though, I really liked the story however the actual execution of it left something to be desired. It's not bad by any means but it never peaked my interest as I had hoped. 

Still it's interesting enough to give a go and Cooper is great to watch.

Write Up.

Saw the 3D conversion. It was actually pretty subdued, very easy on the eyes. What was really cool was the new Toy Story short shown at the front. Rex becomes a part monster to a host of new toys from the bathtub. Loved it. Did I see it was by Pixar Canada? Interesting. Also noticed they got someone new in to do the music, someone who's obviously more adept at making rave music. Pretty funny.

Always great to catch up with Nemo. A lot of little moments and details I completely forgot about. Beautiful.

Write up.

Watched Bluray picture commentary. Just as nuts as the film. Also found my dad watching it when I arrived home from work. He didn't quite know what to make of it, and yet it held him right to the end. Such a fun little movie. Have you seen it yet?

Write Up.

So immaculately structured. You can't have set ups and pay offs, or as many parallel cuts as this film does without years of pre-planning. Beautiful.

I don't understand how, in this  day and age I can still find people that haven't seen this film. SO GOOD.
