I finally got to watch the final Rocky movie.

I was surprised at how much I did like it. Sure, it got a bit corny in spots, but that's what you get in a Rocky movie. I thought they ended the series fantastically.

Port of Call. It's part of 'Eclipse Series 1: Early Bergman'. It was quite good.

Children of Men 8/12

Most ridiculous continuous-shot scenes in the history of film. The one scene, I just don't know how the camera-man pulled it off. They were going through the streets, through a bus, over barriers, into a building, through rooms, up the stairs, all without a break in the action. There were dozens of actors, pyro, firefights, etc... which all had to be coreographed. It was so brilliant that it distracted me from the action. I was yelling to my wife "They STILL haven't cut!!!"

I was floored. Brilliant movie and it ended at JUST the right spot. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Glad you liked it. I truly think it is a future classic in the same vein as Blade Runner. One of my all time favorite films, and favorite of 2006. There is a lot of information on the two long-takes in the film. The backwards getaway and the ghetto scene you are talking about. It is pretty amazing how they pulled those off.

Here is how they pulled off the car getwaway.

By all definitions, it is still a long take, but also using one of the most technical riggings I have heard of when filming inside of a moving vehicle.

Wow. Thanks, Killroy. Great video.

I liked that rig, but would really like to see the street-fighting scene and how they choreographed that. It shames the car-chase scene for complexity and length.

I'll see if I can get that info for you, but I do know there is a digital cut. It is at the point the blood disappears from the lens (the blood was an accident that worked).

Mr. Brooks - Got off to a slow start, but it ended up being quite good. It is certainly among the top 10 films of the year. And surprisingly, a few scenes were gory relative to hollywood standards. Costner's best performance since Open Range.

Varsity Blues - I know, anything with a Dawson's Creek cast member should suck. And I figured it would. But I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Overall, there is a very well crafted dramatic tone, with the occasional bit of tactfully injected humor. It is like a somewhat funnier football version of Hoosiers.

I gotta disagree. I saw it Wednesday night and I don't think anyone we went with really liked it. It was camp as hell (Not in a good way either) and tried too hard to be a cross between Fight Club And Henry. I also wanted to slap whoever cast Dane Cook in the film... his humor was very inappropriate and unwelcome in the film.

That said, I just finished watching The Tingler, which is an old William Castle/Vincent Price collaboration and it rocked! Probably horrifying back in the day, it was a welcome bit of camp humor that I really dug. Vincent Price is usually a sure bet with me, though there are one or two that I can't really get into.

I also saw Surf's Up this morning (Took my little 5 year old sister with me). She really dug it and I didn't think it was too bad myself. Way better than the piece of shit that is Shrek The Third.

I watched The Matrix...meh. I just don't understand why it's highly praised. The effects are neat but other than that...just 'meh'.

Oh, on the other hand after that I watched The Painted Veil...which is a lovely film.

Just saw The Crow III: Salvation, I had only seen bits and pieces on tv but had never seen it whole, I actually liked it a lot. It sufers like the others from trying to hard to emulate many things from the first one but its still the bether one of the sequels.

Saw the fourth one the other day too, now that one sucked royaly. It was fun to watch but in a stupid campy fun sort of way...

Just saw Hannibal Rising and absolutley loved it, its such a great film that could stand by itselve and compleatley departs from the rest of the Hannibal movies format.

Unlike the other movies you dont follow a detective looking for a psyco(two with the help of Hannibal, the other one looking for Hannibal himselve) but follow a man as he decends into becoming a monster as he extracts revenge in a vendetta type of film.

I made last night a Documentary night, I saw:

This Film Is Not Yet Rated - Wich was really fun, its no secret the MPAA are a bunch of hypocrites, theres hardly any lid blowing there but it was just an enjoyable thing to watch, very well constructed and fun.

Jesus Camp - Wich was fucking scary, we all know evangelical christian fundamentalists go hand in hand with republican politics and it didnt shocked me at all to see em endocrinating children about anti-abortion, anti-homosexuality and creationism but when you even see em endocrinating them about how "global warming is a lie" you realise is the church following the political agenda as much as the other way around. Camp leader Becky Fisher repeats constantly her admiration of how they endocrine muslim children and how they are ready to die for their God's war. Theres event this surrealist scene with the kids praying to God in front of a George Bush Cardboard cut out. crazy.

I also saw about one third of Revolution OS and was rather liking it, Ill probably finish it later today.

Finally got around to watching Planet Terror last night. Didn't catch Grindhouse in the theater as it didn't play near me.

Great film, although not as good as Death Proof in my opinion. Death Proof looked like something you'd catch at a drive-in back in the 70s. Take the grain and such away from Planet Terror and it just looks like a Rodriguez zombie flick. I'm not complaining, as I seriously enjoyed the hell out of it. Violent, funny and seemed like something that Carpenter would have made back in the day if he had the money to do so.
