Movies you've recently watched

I've been watching through the first series of Torchwood recently. Love it. 

Let me guess: it's because it has gay sex in it?

Using MSN knowledge like that is gauche.

Terminator Salvation

A soulless piece of CGI effect laden crap. I think Vinnie is right nowadays. The third movie was better than this empty piece of shit.

Rating:

So, 9/10?

Oh God, anything Von Trier makes me want to scratch my eyes out.  Add Charlotte Gainsbourgh and Williem Dafoe and just NO! 

Cannes critics have ravaged it, though my beloved Manohla Dargis of the NY Times was lukewarm.

Gainsbourgh just won the best Actress award. Deserves somethinge for cutting herself up like that.

Yeah, just read that, he does know how to direct actors.

Perhaps a case like Jolie in Changling, great performance in a huge mess of a film?

Christoph Waltz won best actor for his role as sadistic-pedantic SS-offcier in Inglorious Basterds.

[Josquius]

The Wrestler- Unexpectedly entertaining.

Are you saying that Star Wars has no plot?  Maybe the prequel trilogy.

Star Wars is not a mythos (which isn't a plot, per se, but the central idea around which a plot is based).  One could argue that it is part of a mythos (the "those who are born to save the world" mythos), and maybe even argue that it is trying to create a new mythos (not sure wht that would be, having seen only 4 of the six films), but it isn't a mythos itself.

I would say that what Tim is trying to say is that he loves "the Star Wars 'verse" (in the SF sense of that word).

So, 9/10?

I'd say it was the worst movie of the year so far.

So I went and saw Star Trek. I enjoyed it, decent flick.

I just watched Star Trek II again.

Interesting contrast - Star Trek (The Young Kirk) has a really, really shitty story. I mean, it just sucks. You don't notice though, because the film is a lot of fun. Great action, some interesting cameos, and you are entertained. But once you think about it a little bit, you realize that there really isn't anything at all compelling there - it is just a sequence of actions scenes strung together by this ridiculously thin plot that you do not really care about at all (Gee, I wonder if they will save Earth! Oh the suspense!).

I still give it 7 dessicated Leonard Nimoys out of 10 though.

The Wrestler- Unexpectedly entertaining.

Yeah, this is a really good movie.  No need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.

David Lynch's Dune.  On shrooms.


Finally made sense.

Gattaca. Decent flick.

Robert Downey Jr as a Sherlock Holmes anti-hero?

Meh.

Well, you and Fireblade can be drug addicts together.  Maybe you can buddy up when you go to jail.
