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...
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, although it sounds scary. Clerks II at LSC, was gross but fun. Some unbelievable scenes. I want the hours of my life back from watching Beerfest . Ofcourse, we also did see Borat , which was fun, but less mindless. It was educational, NOT!
