OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

I liked it for many reasons. It was an up lifting movie, well directed, with high production standards. I enjoyed the bad guys, and even that weak assed battle they had.

But I liked it for a private reason.

The problem that I had with Insurrection was:

If the plant's effects on health and aging extended into space why did they want to bother removing the natives?

Just build some space stations in orbit for Pete's sake. That way you could just leave the natives on the planet.

It's good every so often to go see a type of movie that you don't normally go see. Even if you expect that you're not going to like it, sometimes when you see it, it turns out to be not bad. Normally, I mostly see science fiction, action, and the occasional comedy. But today I saw Antwone Fisher. It's a good story.

A couple of movies not seen by many, but SHOULD be seen imho ;p (in no particular order)

1. the salton sea (val kilmer druggie+ more ;p) great flick, trust me
2. spriggan (anime-recent) good sci-fi anime story
3. ghost in the shell (anime-old) best anime of all time prolly
4. cowboy bebop (anime-series) a 28 part fun anime with a great story and better characters and the coolest music ;p
5. LOTR and TTT - peter jackson is god, nuff said (i know many of u have seen these but i couldnt leave em out)
6. the emperor and the assasin (good new-style kung fu like 'crouching tiger hidden dragon', with an even better story

there are more, i know this looks a little anime heavy ;p... but i figured you've all seen most of the 'hollywood' shiite already

Yeah! Masamune Shirow's anime is really good! Lots of action, cybernetic technology, a pretty heroine, and a very intricate background for each story. Appleseed, Dominion Tank Police, and Orion are good, too.

And dont forget "Princess Mononoke". Excellent anime similar in quality to Ghost in the shell. It was a big commercial success (at least in Japan)

Just saw the movie, "Shanghai Knights". It is a sequel for "Shanghai Noon". It was good: lots of funny parts, and nice kung-fu fights! Lin, who is Chon Wang's (Jackie Chan) sister, is really pretty and a great fighter, too.

This week I had a great time seeing two documentaries. The first was "Spellbound". This film follows several kids in their quest to win the nation spelling bee. Having a great interest in words and documentaries, this film was right up my ally. It is a very enjoyable movie. Just to see some parents say that knowing 4,000 words is not enough is funny. I would give it four of of five stars.

The next movie was "Super Size Me".
This guy must have something against fast food is all I have to say. Another interesting film. It really does make you think again about eating fast food. Three of five stars. Simply an okay movie. Nothing more.
