Ah, Brazil...what an oddball movie. I watched it (the Director's Cut) a while ago and, after a certain point, lost serious track of a lot of what was happening. I should probably try watching it again.
I'd actually be interested to see the Love Conquers All cut some day, given that it not only manages to bump down the film's running time by a significant length, but apparrently also succeeds in distorting the entire tone and meaning of the narrative so, as the title suggests, we get a life-affirming comedy about the overriding forces of love and unity. It's therefore a testament to the evil and manipulative powers of editting in controling what the public sees and hears.

I have so many versions of the song is not funny. Plus the soundtrack. I love the music so much. The song is great, and so is Kamen's score.

Meet the Robinsons
Incredible film. Simply incredible. Easily one of the best movies made by Disney in the last few years. The fact that it's only gotten, from what I can see, a mixed set of reviews is distressing.

The Butterfly Effect
Turns out that the version I was watching earlier today was (unbeknownst to me at the time) the Director’s Cut, which had a bleaker and more dramatic conclusion than was apparently shown theatrically. Nothing beats a well-made time travel movie, and this one certainly had an intriguing storyline and haunting central concept. My only real criticism would be that it felt a tad too similar, in many respects, to the infinitely superior Donnie Darko ( no 6ft skeletal bunny rabbits to speak of here, but a lot of the thematics were fairly familiar), a parallel which the DC ending only reinforces. Nonetheless, it kept me involved for the two hours running time, and I was more than a little moved by the final outcome.

Crank
One of my new favorite movies, and a movie that never really got enough credit. This is an awesome action movie and it bothers me that apparently everyone I know hates this movie but me. I really loved this movie and I think it's a shame it never got more appreciation or praise from critics or people.

Creepshow
That movie rocks the house. It was loads of fun. Especially Leslie Nielsen. And The Crate was the most fun of all. It actually made me jump a few times. "Just tell it to call you Billie!" Last edited by AerostarMonk; 04-03-2007 at 11:18 PM. |

Tristan and Isolde ~ rather uninspiring movie about a medieval romance that was forbidden between Tristan of Aragon & Isolde (an Irish princess).

Resident Evil Apocalypse. Saw it last night. The films will never be a patch on the games, but it was pretty enjoyable. Especially the Nemesis' rocket launcher destruction
