Yeah, Landau did a terrific turn there.

I watched Resident Evil: After Life yesterday and I quite enjoyed it. I have to praise the action and music, there was one particular fight which implemented music very well, a really cool music played whith a villain but stopped once they fell, yet started once again when they got up again. Add in the 3D you quite felt the danger, well more so if the main character was not so strong.

It felt like it borrowed quite a bit from Resident Evil 5 game, which is good in some ways, but it also felt like it didn't explain enough. You could often tell when something would jump out due to common trends, but that doesn't mean they didn't try to surprise, I also had a strange feeling of Left 4 Dead, I don't know if it was done on purpose, but there felt like some simularities. From what I know of Wesker they did him quite well, he looked awesome, his character was only a portion of what he is in the games, but I guess he could have come off too strange, also one particuar scene of him, seemed to almost be taken straight from Resident Evil 5 game.

I recently saw The Social Network about a weekend ago. I thought it was a great movies, especially the contrast between the very antisocial and misanthropic Mark Zuckerberg to the website that ironically brings everyone together. The casting of Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker was also excellent IMO, showing the character contrast between Zuckerberg and Parker being something that ironically attracts Zuckerberg towards Parker when it comes to making decisions involving Facebook. It was also just a well done dramady as well, which is something I have not seen in a while. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who goes on WP, because it seems like the main character exhibits many characteristics of an Aspie as well.

Seeing Landau play Bela Lugosi was worth the price of the movie.

Wall Street 2. Excellent film. Watch the original Wall Street first though.

I tried to watch Suspiria last night but the music was intolerable. I could not make it past the first 15 minutes. There is a tone in it that is like needles in my ears. It sounds excessively loud no matter how low I turn the volume. Here is a sample of the music:

I watched half of Suspiria once. The whole tone of it is just weird. It's worth watching a bit just for how unusual everything about it is.

The social network to me was ok, it was nothing but interesting to me and i got prince of persia from redbox, man did that movie suck

Today I just purchased a copy of Batman Under the Red Hood. I'm surprised it was availible in this region

For me it was a Mae West double bill: She Done Him Wrong and My Little Chickadee. Before these two, I never saw Mae before. A mate of mine says that she is a controversial actress and that she is good. I agree on both counts, she is very forward for her time. I was quite shocked at seeing cleavage in these two from the 30s and 40s. That kind of thing was made to be covered up for social reasons!

Objectified. A documentary about objects.
World Trade Center
The Social Network

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and Batman Under The Red Hood

I own the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy, so I tend to re-watch it pretty frequently.

Otherwise: WORLD'S GREATEST DAD. It's kind of like HEATHERS, only even more twisted.

I finished watching Shades of Ray (loved it) and now I'm watching a movie called Adam (about a dude with ASD who meets his new upstairs neighbor; don't know enough yet to judge).

edit: I'm loving this movie so far.

I love that movie! The ending always makes me want to cry though. It's even more bittersweet than the ending to Edward Scissorhands, which I didn't think was possible.

Today I watched River's Edge starring Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves. It was made in the 80s so they were fairly young then. Anyway, it is about a teenager named John who murders his girlfriend and gets his friends to come look at the body. Matt (Reeves), who comes from a broken family, is unsure how to react or even how he should feel. Layne (Glover) is determined to go to great lengths to make sure that John doesn't get caught.

This movie is perfect for Halloween, if you would prefer a movie that's emotionally and psychologically disturbing rather than something with more blood and gore.

I watched pleasantville on sunday.

Its about a boy that has an obsession with an old tv show where everything is pleasant until he and his sister end up inside the show and everything begins to change.

It was released in 1998 but its mostly filmed in b/w.

Reese witherspoon and Tobey Maguire(the guy that played peter parker on Spiderman films) play the main characters.

I liked the movie, even though I dont usually like b/w films.
