    Transformers

    As a SFX film, it's a masterpiece. As a film, it's ridiculously entertaining with good friends and strong beer.

    I so agree with that sentiment! ( I haven't seen Transformers ) A festival of visuals in the company of friends and veins awash with alcohol punk

    Yes, but made in the editing room. You wanna see REAL bullet ballets? Watch the Hong Kong films of John Woo or any film by Johnnie To. Now that´s action, not visual effects edited to look like action.

    Yes, but they don't have neither Angelina Jolie or the looks of WANTED, or the Danny Elfman's score. Kthanxbai
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Well, most of it CGI generated.

    No, but I don´t change a good score for an overall much better film.

    1) Really, she is a living dead in Wanted.

    2) Neither do I, usually. But lately I find most of the action films more an editor/VFX crew work rather than a director´s work.

    3) Don´t change the last 45 minutes of John Woo´s "Hard Boiled" (now that´s action) for the best score ever composed.

    I agree with Marcel D, Angelina's body looks awful with knobbly bones sticking out everwhere, her arms look sickening!

    Gorgeous face though.

    I watched the classic Creature From The Black Lagoon last night. Did you know that the Universal horror movie cues were yet recycled in this picture again? They sure got their money out of those cues. In today's world Hans would be rich!!!

    Revenge of the Creature used a lot of footage from the original and one of the old Salter cues again.

    The last film in the series is called The Creature Walks Among Us. If they ever wanted to remake this film or series all of them could be combined into one two hour movie.

    I forgot to mention that he didn't stray from the norm and used a harp for much of the underwater sequences.

    Body of Lies is an entertaining and fast paced thriller with strong performances from Di Caprio and Mark Strong (who I didn´t know about but I´ll follow since now on). Fortunately the mixture of thriller and politics is perfectly balanced and there´s no ID4 / Air Force One moments of patriotism if you know what I mean (which, given the movie´s plot, I appreciated). Actually there are moments that are very Spy Game-ish (copying your brother, Ridley? biggrin ). Excellent photography, editing and directing. Streitenfeld´s score is good in the movie, very middle east oriented (obviously); nothing I look forward to listen out of the movie though.

    3.5 out of 5

    Indy 4 came in the mail today (thanks for releasing everything early Play!). I don't know whether it's because I am suffering the worst hangover in ages and am completely out of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it this time around. smile

    Yet another movie with very little music. The 20th Century Fox version of The Hound of the Baskervilles with Rathbone/Bruce/Atwill/Carradine/Greene. Interesting to see Holmes in a top hat in one scene.

    Tonight I'm gonna indulge myself with three classic sci-fi films I've just got in: The Day The Earth Stood Still (Klaatu, Barada and Nikto are three aliens i Jabba the Hutt's palace smile ) , Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (Director Don Siegel is the cab driver in the remake) and my all-time cold war scifi/horror favourite The Thing From Another World. Now THAT's entertainment!!

    OK, so basically we now have two new emoticons:
    :pawel: (which is roughly the equivalent of biggrin , though slightly more Polish)
    and :omaha: (which approximates smile with a Nebraskan flavour)

    Reclaim Your Brain (Dein Fernseher Lügt)

    Very clever, witty and warm German film about hedonistic TV producer Rainer who, after surviving a car accident / murder attempt, realizes that all he's ever created is mind and emotion numbing crap.
    Deciding to change, he comes up with an idea for a show that really informs and teaches people, but in the ratings it's shot down. That's when it hits him: do the shows create the ratings...or do the ratings dictate the shows?

    That's the start of an interesting scoundrel comedy / morality tale that, aside from being utterly charming, well produced and well acted, poses a couple of REALLY good questions: do we WANT crap like Celebrity Big Brother...or have we, by a deluge of similar programs, CONDITIONED to like it, awful and uninteresting though it is? And what would happen if we were starting to be conditioned differently? WHO creates the demand?

    Highly recommended, and food for pretty good discussions afterwards!

    Omaha refers to the WWII landing zone in Normandy. Not Nebraska or Utah. *sigh* we've been through this before.
