I read somewhere that *all* the building shots in Gladiator were done on the thinking machine.

Not all of them. They filmed in that Moroccan town (Ait ben something), and recreated (part of) the Colosseum in Malta.

Alice in Wonderland.  Good.  Grrl! powery.

The Crazies (Remake)

I ambled down to my local neighbourhood theatre (the one  I can get into for free.) with my boss last night, and we watched the Crazies remake. It was pretty decent scare wise. I enjoyed more than my boss who is a horror aficionado. I only like horror if it's really a good film. Which is rare.

This one had a decent pace, but lacked the relentlessness of say "Drag Me To Hell", but was nonetheless very much worth seeing in the theatre. Flawed but hella entertaining.

Only thing left to remake is Freaks.

Doomsday. I didn't know what to expect but it was much better than I feared. There were one or two things I didn't see in advance. And any movie that includes a shameless Mad Max tribute is worth something. And whatshername is hot. I remember that she was the only redeeming feature of the godawful Ali G In Da House movie.

Is that really as good as I've heard from more than one source?

People either love it or hate it. I'd say the "morality" of it is right up your alley dude, really.

Motherfucker, i told you months ago it was good. Back when i said Hurt Locker was my favorite flick for year.

De Niro = Pacino's dad, several decades earlier. 

Bitch, I understood that.

What didn't you understand, exactly?

I couldn't get into Hurt Locker. I think I just don't care for movies about wars I watched live on TV.

Rerun. Next.

Paprika.... visually interesting anime, that nonetheless put me to sleep.

6 Timmays! outta 10

[The Brain]

Resident Evil. As computer game movies go the Resident Evil ones are superior. And Milla is hot.

[Admiral Yi]

Hidden Fortress was on last night.  Mifune Toshiro chasing after the two bad guys on horseback and slicing them up is still one of my favorite action scenes of all time.

Tales of the Black Freighter (Watchmen) on Netflix on the PS3. Such an uplifting short story.
