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 acting does not revolve around dialogue. My favorite scene was the first fish he speared. I was impressed at the physical changes in Tom Hanks over the course of the movie. It really shows how man can do all that he must to survive...
For Hollywood Videos' 2fer2sdays, I rented The Bourne Supremacy :: Universal Pictures and Chronicles of Riddick. Funny thing was that both bad guys were the same Russian dude, Karl Urban . He's intense.
Anyway, kewl blowbyblow action flicks. Good choices. Bourne was full of action packed running around. Jason Bourne pwns the Secret Service! :) Riddick pwns the necromongers! Doesn't everyone like a good movie with Vin Diesel. Jim thinks he was flexing for the whole movie, but maybe that's just the way he's built...
