Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel

We saw a lot of movies recently. here are some of them from good to horrible.Live Free or Die Hard. So good that I would watch it again. Funny and great.Blood Diamond was tops. Leonardo DiCaprio was a good bad guy, and the plot twists were good. Good character development, you really sympathize for the native guy and his family. I liked the way DiCaprio says "hey bruv". The interplay between

DayWatch is the sequel to Nightwatch. It is a gripping story about how the world ends, as the battle between light and dark comes to a turning point. Beautiful and compelling storyline, I really enjoyed it, especially the Russian version.ALso saw StarDust, which was sweet, but too bland. The ideas about true love are okay, but the plot twists are a bit too sophomoric. The character development

Last weekend we saw The Golden Compass with V&R. It was good to see the realization of the book details on the big screen. The characters were nicely portrayed, but the story was not told as well. My most obvious complaint was the missing last chapter, but there were other details that I was looking forward to seeing, such as the chase scenes with Lyra meeting a nice stranger, and stealing a boat

The revised version of Hairspray is awesome. John Travolta's acting was superb, and so was Christopher Walken. The songs were terrific, and the slapstick humor had me rolling.On the other hand, American Gangster was very bloody and violent. Not for your faint of heart or sensitive person.

In fashion class, we saw Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?, a movie about Twiggy-ish model in Paris. It was a little surreal, with the musical choruses, and the bizarre fashion. But I think the movie is meant to capture the essence of that era,the 60s, where everything foreign, political, rural, fashionable was in. The movie was interesting and although I don't think I really *got* the movie's whole

Today I caught Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my good friend J. I wasn't sure that I would like really, because so far many sequels have been disappointing (Pirates 3 which my students were watching last night). Harry has grown older, and the stakes have risen higher in this one. I was at in suspense, even though I knew what had happened cause I had read the book. The Death

Saw the Silver Surfer 2 with V & R. It was awesome. I just enjoy watching the Welsh actor that plays the main character, Ioan Gruffudd. He plays the brilliant Reed Richards, and is engaged to Sue Storm in the beginning of this movie. The character development for him is again about the dual roles he has to play. He has both a sensitive side (and tries to make all the right moves when it comes

Pirates of the Carribbean 3 was okay. Some of it was enjoyable, other parts were too long. I didn't think there was enough Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) pirate acting, and there wasn't nearly enough swashbuckling. I'm a little annoyed that there was too many crossed romances to keep track of. Also, it didn't seem like the resolution in the end was a true resolution, not all the couples ended up

Pan's Labyrinth was dark, but good. I really liked the imagery of the nightmare scenes, and the folklore of the mandrake root. It was interesting because these details were imaginative and detailed, in a way that I felt was very believable. The creature-monster was unbelievably nightmarish, and I am still wondering if the faun was good or bad. what was he eating? The ending scene with the

The Prestige at LSC. It was great, worth seeing. It was exciting. I really enjoyed the plot, and I don't want to spoil it, but the plot twists are great. I wonder how it compares to The Illusionist. Apparently, the 2nd time is even better, so I might have to catch it on DVD. The suspense was good, and Tesla was a terrific character for us nerds!Also recently saw the end of Love Actually again.

Recently we saw "The Pursuit of Happyness". It was very uplifting. Highly recommended. The acting was terrific, particularly the look of Will Smith getting happyness. I also thought the cameo of Chris Gardner was cool. It is amazing what we will do to pursue our dreams.

Saw Titicut Folllies in Chris C's class. I didn't much care for it, it was awful.We also saw Noam Toran's Desire Management, which was pretty good as a provocative piece on how products can be presented in movies. We also saw Object for Lonely Men, that he made while at the RCA. I think I saw it when I was visiting Ian... The best part is the creativity of the piece. I also remember his

We saw the new James bond movie, Casino Royale. It was totally awesome. Bond (played by Daniel Craig) was such a brash but charming character, his acting was very enjoyable. The new intro used mathematical functions (sine waves and fractals-I'm such a nerd), reminds me of Ian Gouldstone's Corollary animation. Jim really liked Night Watch, but I didn't go. Maybe I'll have to watch it soon,

Recently saw The Departed with V. It was very good, and the acting was superb. I really thought Marky Mark was a great character, full of fun and hijinx. Nicholson was a superb bad guy, as always. Matt Damon was great at playing the double cross, and so was Leonardo. Great timing and screenplay, I was riveted. The film was set in Boston, so there were many backdrops I could relate to.

Last weekend we saw Thank you for Smoking at LSC. I think the guy had a lot of common sense in the way he approached what he did. Sure, we all have jobs we might not like, and we all find ways to justify why we work for them. I recently read some excerpts from Wisnioski's "Engineers and the Intellectual Crisis of Technology" and thought it melded perfectly with what the hero does in the movie.

Saw Fearless with Virginia and Rich. It was a wonderful movie, and makes me appreciate martial arts even better. The hero's transformation was very moving, and the fighting scenes were spectacular. It is worth it to try and watch it again sometime. Recently saw Brick with 1W at LSC. It was a good movie. We spent some time afterwards to discuss what actually happened, and I decided that it was

For class, we recently did a study of shopping as it has become more mechanized. We went to Haymarket and compared the wonderful experience to Shopping at Shaws. It was somewhat of a surprise how positive the shopping experience at Haymarket was, compared to shopping at Shaws. At Haymarket, the vendors were very friendly, while at Shaws, they were merely functional. It is interesting that the

B13 was awesome!!!! I could watch the guys move all day! Whoo hoo! Makes me want to hang a rope outside my window. The guys really knew how to go through windows and land on their feet. In class this week, we saw Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, some stuff from Edward Muybridge, the visual-music ballets of Oskar Fischinger, and the bizarre militaristic synchronicity of Busby Berkeley and Ethel

Saw V for vendetta at LSC with the hall. It was pretty awesome. Talk about the best hack ever.Also, in Chris C's class, we saw Stanley Milgram's Obedience video fromYale university. It was easy to understand that responsibility and ethics are things that need to be taught to people. Many people do not have the capacity to question authority nor take full responsibility for their own actions.

Saw Real women have curves with the hall. It was good, the plot was interesting and the only thing I wanted was the movie to be a little longer to the point where she helps out her family because of her education. Or maybe a post-synopsis of her getting along with her past eventually.We also just saw 12 Monkeys again. Superb acting by both Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. Brad Pitt- wow! HOw does he

Saw y tu mama tambien and also some of pulp fiction. It's hard to believe that the same actor in "Y Tu Mama" was also in "El Crimen de Padre Amaro". Beautiful acting in both. I really had a turn in my attitude to the character Padre AMaro-- he was a good guy and by the end, he was a bad guy and I hated him in the end. Good writing, I guess, and it was a good contrast to Y Tu Mama. Y Tu Mama was

Maid in Manhattan was okay. It had lots of boring bits, but I thought the kid was cute.Also saw El Crimen del padre Amaro with the stickmen. It was pretty cool watching with them, since it made the sad movie a lot better. We were supposed to watch Y TU Mama Tambien, but that dvd was all scratched up. Next time!

Recently saw Cars and Pirates of the Carribbean 2. I enjoyed them both. At Siggraph this year, I got to attend the talk about how they made the road from Cars look all beat up. Also, saw some of the animation effects of Davy Jones' beard in the Animation Theater. That was tres awesome.

For Two-fer-Tuesday at Hollywood video this week, we rented Howl's moving castle. It was awesome, I have to watch it again sometime. The story was awesome, and the characters were so bold and noble. I also enjoyed the scenery, many nice touches in the water and fire elements. This was just awesome in everyway. I have liked all the movies by Miyazaki so far, but this one was very romantic and

Crash was good. I think it reflected American society in general. Particularly in cities where we have to drive everywhere, there is more classism because people who drive seem to be disjointed from other people. they don't see each other face to face and they don't exchange pleasantries because they're always surrounded by metal and glass (cars and buildings). There's no level playing field

Pirates of the Carribean, Curse of the Black Pearl was awesome the 2nd time. As always, I always liked Johnny Depp's pirate character, Captain Jack Sparrow, and his funny mad way o' looking at things. Reminds me of Cap'n Kennit from the Live Ship Series by Robin Hood. Orly was okay, as usual, but I think the tops was the plot with all the crazy pirate-ghosts running around. Everyone loves a scare

Mission Impossible 3 was pretty good. The action was good, but the characters and plot was a little formulaic. I think the problem with Tom Cruise is that he's such a big star, that I couldn't think of him as Ethan Hunt during the whole movie. The other characters in the movie were pretty nameless and faceless, but I think it was cause of Cruise dominating the entire movie script, and most of the

This weekend we saw Syriana and MirrorMask. Both movies were great. Thanks to Indy for telling me more about Syriana. I have to admit I was a little confused by what really happened in the end, well not really, but the exact order of things, and Indy set it straight. I think Indy's going to get the book so that he can tell us what the real story is about, but it sounds interesting. Sounds like

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was terrific way to celebrate Virginia's birthday. The movie reminded me of the depth of characters in the book, I remembered completely the emotion that was traversed by the story. I remembered that Harry and his friends were going through the terrible teenage phase, that they just discovered dating, and that Harry has his closest brush with death so far. I

Ong-Bak was a truly inspiring movie. The fighting scenes were more awesome than in any other movie I've ever scene. Tony Jaa was so quick, and the moves were so deadly! It didn't matter that they didn't speak english or that thai sounds so peaceful, in contrast to the movie. His moves were superfastdeadlycool. I didn't want to blink, for missing any of the action. Although it was a *little* gory

We got to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at LSC some time ago. It was awesome. Johnny Depp is a terrific Charlie, and I liked everything they did. Although the old version is still pretty good, the newer version is a lot hipper, and I'm glad the story is more "adult" than "child oriented". The kids they got to play the brats were hilarious. I found myself falling out of my chair because

Saw Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) with a few friends. It was definitely fun, and although a bit "cliche", I really enjoyed it. The concept of bunny heaven, a were-rabbit, and a town with a "giant vegetable" competition had me in stitches. The funniest character, other than the main folks, was the crazy priest (blessing the vegetables) and his hysteria, "We've brought

Sahara was very enjoyable. I loved the Panama scene, and the hilarious hijinx the two guys get up to. Penelope Cruz doesn't say a lot, but I guess most of the dialogue was between Al and Dirk. Their attitudes r0xx0r. I also enjoyed the improbable heroic acts of Dirk. Wow! His friend is also so loyal and capable, and FUNNY!Sahara's offical movie site.

Also saw Shallow Hal was cool because it was a beautiful story about a guy growing up. Hal started as a completely shallow and self-centered person, who has never loved anyone. he evolves into a selfless caring person who would follow the woman he loves around the world. It's very rare to find a romance where that's actually happened, so here's to those who follow their heart!

Saw Good Will Hunting (1997) on cable and realized it was awesome. The dialogue and character development was decent, but the acting of both Damon and Williams was terrific. On my repeat view of the movie, I felt there was always something new in the nuances of their facial features and dialogue. Good stuff!

I was able to catch Fever Pitch on the plane ride back from the UK. It was nice to see so much Red Sox stuff. Ofcourse, the romance in the plot was okay, especially because it was Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. On one hand, it was pretty cheesy, on the other hand, the moral about having to grow up and become a functional adult was good. Not quite as tearjerking as 50 first dates, but then again

Ian, Tony and Matt had just finished their takedown of the RCA show, so we decided to go and see War of the Worlds. It was pretty good. I didn't like the little girl so much, or the drama with the family, either. The story could have used more character development, or more detail in any of the plot. Still, the storyline was okay and the effects were entertaining. It reminded me some of SIGNS,

Jim and I caught Robots on the plane, and it was enjoyable. I had some genuine laughs, and the animation was really nice. Sure, robin williams character was a little bit over the top sometimes, and the toilet joke part was not funny, but the rest was good. I would watch it again just to see the fantastic whirlygigs and mechanical doodads. Thumbs up!

Small Soldiers (1998) was okay. I liked the mischief the soldiers got up to, and I also liked the creativity of the soldiers and soldierettes. I was surprised to see a young Kirstin Dunst in it. Jim didn't like the human bits as much as the toys doing their mischief. Still, it was a good way to pass the time.

50 First Dates (2004) was completely funny. So mushy so funny so cute, I enjoyed the ending. The Hawaiians are way cool, and the acting by Sandler and Barrymore was ultra cute. What a guy, to go through all that for her. Barrymore plays the perfect sweet, innocent, clueless girl. Yay!

Gong fu (2004) was funny. I enjoyed and had a terrific time with this parody of kung-fu action flicks. A good way to pass a saturday afternoon. The buddhist palm move and other kungfu action scenes were novel. I liked the cinematography and also the subplots between the different characters. A nice touch was that the northerners spoke in Mandarin and the southerners spoke Cantonese. The fight

Team America: World Police (2004) was enjoyable. I really liked that stupid song "America, F*CK yeah!", and all the DVD extras about how the craftsmen made the film.The film itself was okay, but after I saw the comments from the set designers and engineers, I wanted to go back to look at their handicrafts. It is unfortunate that such wonderful detail go unnoticed because of the poor quality of

Closer (2004/I) was interesting, but pretty weird and mean. The story of two couples who swap due to petty, selfish, and cruel reasons is pretty bad. I can't say I understand the psychological motivations of any of the characters. There was practically no character development, so all the drama was very detached from the viewer. All of the characters were people that I wouldn't care to associate

Blade Trinity was a disappointment. There was barely any cool fighting. The plot focused mainly on two new characters who weren't really portrayed well. Who were these people? One was a smart aleck guy who wasnt really any funny and couldn't really fight. The other was a girl who was supposed to really be a good fighter, but she was not a really strong main character. No great lines, no

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) was pretty good. There wasn't as much zombie dancing, but it was a good way to spend a few hours. My favorite part was when they dumped the smartaleck to the mass of zombies, and then the first zombie to get him was the one he shot. That was zombie justice right there. The action was okay, but it wasn't as much of a horror flick as we had expected. Then again,

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) was okay. It was interesting. I couldn't hear all the stuff that happened because it was noisy. All in all, it was okay, but I bet I would have liked it better if they sped it up a little, and talked a little louder. Jim said there were a lot of interesting tensions in the book, and I agree. ALthough I couldn't really get why they had all these tensions.

OMG is that Orly? I didn't even recognize him in Kingdom of Heaven. I liked the information on the different cultures. I really liked Saladdin. I wish we could have been in his tent more, because the stuff going on inside where Orly was wasn't really that interesting. Saladdin kicked ass, and it would have been cool to learn more about the assassins. There wasn't really any character development,

Resident Evil was Rocking! We can't wait to get the sequel. At first I was a little fretful that it would be too scary. But when they broke out the Zombie Dancing, oh-oh-oh-OH-oh, even I couldn't suppress a laugh. It was a good combo of unknown: the zombies were suprisingly quick and the Red Queen was sppooookky! The unveiling of the final character was also good. *nice work* A good fun flick. We

White Chicks (2004) was okay. It wasn't as funny as I had hoped, but there were a few good bits. I liked when they were breakdancing and that's about it. There's a good bit in the car where they are getting down to some rap music, and the guy getting down in the club with the whistle. That's about it though. I think we had Nick on a suicide watch for a little bit because it was not going so well.

After the Sunset (2004) was not as good as the The tailor of Panama. The movie moved too slowly, and I really thought the main characters were both schmucks. Salma Hayek was too good for the role she had to play. Lots of gratuitous cleavage shots, for both men and women. I don't think Pierce Brosnan buttoned on a shirt the whole movie, and there was a lot of gay innuendo that would have been

All about Eve was okay. it was long, and drawn out. Lots of drama, and it was a good script. The drama wasn't all that interesting to me, personally, but it was okay. I did not like the personas in the characters very much. Think of it as "Striptease" back in the 50s.

This weekend I saw On the Waterfront. It was the first time I had seen Marlon Brando in a flick, and also the first time I really heard those famous lines. When I walked into work the next Monday, my coworkers all chimed in "I could-a been a contender, I could-a been a somebody". It was great, and really shows how a movie can be great without needing lots of highpriced action special effects. The

The cream of the crop for movies this winter was really The Incredibles. The best thing about the movie was that the whole package was well done. It had a great plot, with lots of wonderful action and animation. The cast of characters were delightful, and the soundtrack was nice too. One interesting note about the movie was that it wasn't just completely fanciful. The characters had observations

Went over at Chris and Nick's to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it was a pretty satisfying, unique movie. I think the cliche is "those who forget their histories are destined to repeat it". The idea it brings to mind is that love hurts sometimes-- and maybe it helps you make better choices in the future. If you erase that hurt, that life lesson is lost, and you might make the

Virginia and I braved snow and cold to see House of Flying Daggers(Shi mian mai fu ). It was very enjoyable, and the movie was BREATHTAKING. The plot was pretty standard, love and passion, rage and jealousy, intrigue and betrayal. I liked the kungfu ALOT. There were parts with dancing on bamboo and Ziyi Zhang dancing with long scarves that are just gorgeous and captivating. I think this one is

Got to see Ocean's Twelve with Jackie in Miami. It was a pretty good movie, but I think you have to watch it twice. Twelve people is a lot to keep track of. I think Brad Pitt looked really good, there were lots of glamour shots of him, and then there are lots of nice shots of other stars like Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, and George Clooney in it. Its a movie with lots of little visual vignettes,

Lots of winter movies: Saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events ,and had to say that it was a pretty good movie. The plot jumbled up and invented stuff that didn't really happen in the books,but hey, it was just a cute movie. I really liked the style of the animations at the end, and it reminded me a lot of Edward Scissorhands-- sarcastic comedy, but really cute.... Virginia reminded

Donnie Darko was good, the second time around. I have to say though, that I think the movie could have gone a little faster, but the soundtrack makes up for it. Mad World is the best thing to come out of that movie. Time and traveling through it is an interesting topic. Some think that the tornado made it possible, others think that Frank made it possible.

Pitch Black was good, especially the 2nd time around. No, it wasn't the acting or the plot, but I guess I haven't seen anything recently from the genre of sci-fi space horror. The coincidence of visual and audio effects in the film are just plain enjoyable. I was annoyed with the lead female actress for being predictably stupid and selfish, Riddick's story and mystery throughout the film is

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was complete rubbish. The vapid Paltrow as the leading female and the shallow, obvious but boring plot really made me mourn the lost hour. I think Soul Plane was better than this... The worst part was that it had such great potential. The main draw is the nostalgic backdrops in blue screen, but unfortunately, the bad script made the visuals the only saving

Soul Plane had its moments. It wasn't nearly as funny as Pootie Tang, but there were some good buts. I thought it was weird how the soundtrack sounded very similar to Pootie's theme song. Sadatay!

Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) was okay. We finally got to see it, but it wasn't as funny as Barbershop 1.... and definitely not as good as Pootie Tang. We also snagged Loverboy recently and it was okay. A little on the campy side... Speaking of Campy, Bubba Ho-tep takes the cake. Elvis in a retirement home, a guy who thinks he's FDR, and a mummy-- and hilarity ensues. It was

Joe Dirt was fantastic. It was entertaining and funny. The character of Joe Dirt was easy to sympathize with, and the plot was interesting. The journey of Joe through America to find his parents, and the friends he makes along the way, is terrific.

We recently saw Fahrenheit 9/11 with Ela and Arrin. I have to say that the movie was interesting and it was nice to know what Mike Moore was saying. I think that it is interesting that he is the ONLY one who is saying such things, our media has really let us down. I learned some new things, such as what Bush was doing when 9/11 happened, and why the response was slow. There could have been

Cast Away (2000) was really fantastic. Man vs. Nature. The idea of what you would do if you were stranded on an island, and how would you mentally cope with the loneliness is quite interesting. I think the ending was a bit open, but the journey was truly mesmerizing. It's funny how the lack of dialog really highlights the acting. It must have taken a lot of foresight and planning to realize that

Recently saw Big Fish (2003) again on DVD. I really enjoyed the cinematography, and the story was really good. It's such a clever story, with interesting characters. Every few minutes is a new adventure.

Shrek was much better than TIMELINE, which we saw last night. Timeline was entertaining, but as with all time travel movies, there were flaws like what about the government, press, etc. Also hard to change the past and not have it affect the present... and they definitely changed the past. I have a feeling the book was probalby much better. Anyway, it was a good way to pass a saturday nite.

Shrek 2 (2004) was awesome. Antonio Banderas was the bomb, and the whole movie was VERY entertaining. The cutest Puss in Boots ever. :) Ah, Banderas has the smoothest accent. So SUAVE.

Just watched Barry Lyndon (1975) and we wonder, why did they mmake this movie???? It's like reading Jane Eyre... oh well.

Saw Shattered Glass (2003) while I was in Long Island. I have to say it sucked. The main character was totally unlikable and it was all dialogue. It was on par with reality TV.

Tonight we headed over to join the Fourth East Mafia to watch Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai (2003). It was pretty good, I enjoyed seeing the battles, and the graceful action shots. A bit gory, and some of it campy, but still some pretty seat-gripping moments.

We just watched Matrix Revolutions again, and I think it was a pretty good movie. Without the high expectations, it was quite enjoyable. I loved the mech warrior fight scenes (the general is the most kick-ass mech warrior ever), and the awesome ways the Sentinels moved. I like the ships, and the idea of moving a whole ship propelled by EM fields sounds to me quite reasonable. I have to watch

When I was in London with Ian, I got to see Zatoichi. The movie was awesome. A little campy, but the action was good, and so was the plot. I liked the idea of a blind samurai who kicks everyone's ass. I also liked the "women" in the movie, and the interesting character development. It was funny, sad, happy, and complex, all rolled into one. Ian was great to watch movies with, too!

Kill Bill was awful. Lots of gratuitous violence, that I didn't enjoy. I didn't think there was much plot, and the cinematography was too friggin' obvious. Isn't Tarantino too clever having a whole scene in silohuette? No. I don't think I'll be watching the sequel. Good think I saw it at LSC, where it was discounted. Quite a few of the audience left during this movie, it was so bad...Zatoichi

Saw Paycheck (2003) on the plane ride over from England. For a free movie, it wasn't bad. I really thought the idea of a "reverse engineer" was funny. The visions of the future were interesting, particularly the idea that they could "make weather" in a scientific environment. The plot was okay, although I could think of all these ways that technology was kind of slow (for example, why didn't

Was in Miami for Joyce's birthday. 13 going on 30 was great! I loved all the music scenes, and I particularly like the main character's sense of style. I didn't think I had as sophisticated an awareness when I was 13, but who cares. It was a good movie for remembering the 80s.

Love Actually was quite good. I really like the way Hugh Grant can come off as a bad boy that tries to be good for the sake of love.

We finally saw (it was great, reminded me of Japan), also Kill Bill (didn't like it-- too violent). Recently saw Underworld, and liked the love angle, although it was really slow and some of it was pretty silly (like when pretty boy turns into a lichen) I had to laugh. The acting was really bad, but it was interesting enough. The movie needed a better sound track. Saw the Triplets of Bellevue

lord of the Rings3 was the most memorable movie I saw during the holiday break. I will write more, but just wanted to Capture it.

While we were in Arizona, we saw Master and Commander. It was okay. The maritime fighting strategy stuff was cool, and so were the ships. The captain ahab drama stuff wasn't so good. I wish that they could have had some sort of love interest too-- but maybe that's cause I'm in the mood for a romantic comedy right now.

Last weekend I saw Head of State with Chris Rock. It was AWESOME. I liked all the characters, and the satire was very appropriate for our time. I think the slogan "God Bless us and not them" sounds very familiar....

Saw the Rock in The Rundown. It was okay. The funny sidekick dude was a little annoying, but the action was okay. This is a "filler" movie, before the real good movies come out... or just cause we were bored. I can't wait until LOTR.... another movie that looks good is School of Rock.
