This isn't to say that the movie is all gunfights. There's a lot in common between Heat and Public Enemies. It's a movie light
on bombast, heavy on characters. Light on emotional pandering, heavy on performances. And where the action isn't happening all the time (there are only a
few select gunfights in the movie, with only one being more than a couple minutes long), when it DOES happen, it's a sensory fist to the eyeballs and
eardrums.
Michael Bay is quantity; Michael Mann is quality.  |

Rewatched Jurassic Park last night.
The original appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex is still cinema gold. Oh yeah, and the characters would've saved themselves a lot of trouble with the raptors if they had used doorknobs instead of door handles. |

Just saw Ice Age 3 today. Quite enjoyable, but not as good as the first two. However, not an epic disappointment like Shrek 3, so that's good. Also, Simon Pegg was in it. Alas Diego was not in it enough, as far as I was concerned and, although there were some laugh out loud moments it just didn't seem to have the one-liners the first two enjoyed. But a nice enough way of spending a Saturday afternoon - mind you, can someone tell me when cinema tickets became £7 even for the non-de luxe cinemas??? DW

Let see, saw Ice Age 3 on Friday. Not great but it was good and funny. Go watch if you feel like relieving some stress.
Currently suffering from insomnia, I just watched "My sister's keeper". Yeah, sad and made me cry... a lot towards the end. The concept itself is sad. Mother's can't let go of their kids. Cancer kids are always strong. Yup Cameron Diaz portrayed a selfish mom that got on my nerves a lot because she refused to let her girl go. Understandable though. Think about those mothers that loose their kids at a moments notice, without them being sick.

Huh... I failed to mention I went to see Public Enemies on Wednesday. Castor Troy, if I'm reading his review right, captures my thoughts perfectly. The
movie seemed to drag on a little, but in a good way. Lots of focus on character development. Hell, I'd go as far as to say this movie was probably more
true to the actual events then most Hollywood movies.
Watched The Castle of Cagliostro tonight. I've actually never seen anything from the Lupin III series, and found this to be rather delightful . Solid
story all around, and Lupin was supposedly voiced by Solid Snake himself 8O
Also decided I was going to listen to Juno while playing some Fallout 3... which quickly switched to me watching Juno, and occasionally moving in Fallout 3. Such a great little movie... But it should have had more Dwight in it =D

Inspired by catching an hour or so of Lethal Weapon 3 on ITV a couple of weeks ago, I am rewatching the series. It was the turn of Lethal Weapon 2 last night
(when I ought to have been studying - oops!). Lots of fun to be had with Riggs and with Patsy Kensit's amazingly dodgy "South African" accent.
Also George Harrison's "Cheer Down" over the end credits, a song I have been awaiting on digital download for years and which is finally
available this year (huzzah!), which sounds rather good in surround sound.
Next up, the entirety of Lethal Weapon 3, but possibly not before I do some actual work. Drat it. DW

You want to explain that a little, Notu.
Anyway, I too saw Transformers 2 and thought it was terrible, it's like they tried to make it suck. First, they add in characters with no point other than to cause mischief and make poorly written dirty jokes, that even Seth Rogan would say are dumb. Then, they give us a story that's essentially the first film in Egypt and for no reason what so ever have Sam's parents show up, just so they can try and not get killed, and of course Megan Fox is there to run/walk around almost naked as robots hump her leg. In short, don't waste your time on this pile of crap. Like super heroes, like Roleplaying, then come on over to Earths Mightiest and be the hero your mommy always said you'd be.

I was trying to avoid spoilers for those who may still want to see it.
Actually, the parents don't 'just show up for no reason'. They are shown being abducted from Paris earlier in the movie and the Decepticons are obviously trying to use them to 'convince' Sam into surrendering. The other big thing I kept hearing people complain about is how the design of the twins is racist, and how the 'black Autobots' are the ones that can't read. Sure, they do a lot of the stupid ethnic stuff, but they were hardly the only ones. And as for the 'black autobots can't read', *none* of the Autobots except for Jetfire were able to read the symbols. And Jetfire was only able to read them because he was older than the rest of the Autobots. All in all, it was an okay movie. Lots of explosions, lots of destruction, little else. But it's a Michael Bay movie. Expecting anything else is like watching anything Shyamalan has made since Signs and expecting it to not suck. |

I finished Lethal Weapon 3 last night. I'd forgotten Rene Russo was in it, not having seen her in anything since Natasha Fatale in Rocky & Bullwinkle. Again, lots of fun and no thinking required, with amusement to be had by the ongoing dog biscuit addiction. Number 4 this weekend, to be followed by the Die Hard Quadrilogy for the rest of the week.
