Videodrome
year: 1983 director: david cronenberg starring: james woods, deborah harry, sonja smits just finished this up a little bit a go. it's really good, but just didn't quite completely win me over. and certainly doesn't have replay value for me, which immediately makes it a 'no sale' for me. ut certainly very original and whatnot ![]() incredible atmosphere and cinematography and overall feel. but i wouldn't buy it. so thanks netflix for saving me $30 ![]() as one user review on imdb says: "a mix of Brazil, A Clockwork Orange and Network = Videodrome". i haven't seen Network yet, but i'm sure it fits well because the film does have the wild, spastic feel of Brazil and the at times cruel, grim, brutal violence of (even more so than) A Clockwork Orange. i respect the originality of Cronenberg's vision here. but not a film that is worth a purchase. 3.5/5 |

![]() Only thing is I hope I dig the material too. I've seen Thank You For Smoking and while a good film, I didn't find the subject very interesting. I know Mad Men deals with advertising execs (I previewed the first 10 min of episode 1), but I hope I like it. I'm not big or very experienced on TV shows because I simply haven't invested the time in all the great new shows. Thus far, my favorite are medical shows and sci-fi/supernatural type shows. My 5 favorite drama TV series: 1. House [Show spoiler] 2. Nip/Tuck 3. Rome 4. Firefly 5. Heroes [Show spoiler]

The 40 Year-Old Virgin
very funny. very raunchy. but it's been collecting dust on my shelf for some time now. and as much as i enjoy the film. i don't love it like i used to. and i barely have the urge to watch it anymore. hell, it was essentially on my pending shelf, but i couldn't even bring myself to watch it to decide if it was worth keeping. what does that say! bought it months ago because it was $10. but it won't be a member of my collection anymore. 4.5/5 |

Quick reviews of movies seen in the last week.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - As a fan, I liked it a lot better than the last couple of movies. It stuck relatively close to the book. Awesome effects, humor is still there, and overall a very satisfying buildup to the finale. 9.5/10 The Expendables - Simply an awesome action movie. Don't expect anything else. 9/10 Piranha (2010) - Didn't enjoy it too much even though I knew what I was gonna get from it. Kelly Brooks in the movie (10/10). The movie itself not so good. Maybe it would have been better if I saw it in 3D but I doubt it. 6/10 Easy A - I was intrigued by it b/c it was so well received by the critics even though it was a "teen comedy". I really enjoyed it and Emma Stone was great in it. It had a 80s feel to it and influenced by John Hughes movies, which is a great thing. Recommended! 8/10 Machete - A great time. Exactly what I expected and wanted from the Grindhouse trailer. 9/10 Despicable Me - A lot funnier than expected and the third best animated film I've seen this year (have yet to see Tangled). 8.5/10 Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) - They don't make 'em like this anymore. First time watching it and loved it. I love Frank Capra's movies. 10/10 |

“The Perfect Storm.”
Back when this first came out, it seemed like the bomb. The SFX are impressive for its time, effectively animating gargantuan waves and dark skies that give “The Perfect Storm” a hellish life of its own. I remember being thoroughly woozy at the theater, for I almost felt like I was in the sea with the characters. ![]() ![]() I suppose that’s the film’s greatest strength; it's immersive. Coming out long before “The Deadliest Catch” series, this film provides an insightful and harrowing view of a fisherman’s life. Between this movie and the show, I can’t help but to appreciate these hard-working folks for facing such rough challenges and dangers, pitting themselves against the elements, and straining all their energy and willpower into their work. I really don’t know how realistic this movie really is, but it appears so, and the portrayal seems spot-on. Story-wise, it’s not the most involving, but it does focus really well on the character’s relationships (both loving and hateful, but in the end the connections really stand out), and the man-vs-nature themes are ever-present. Some parts of the movie can be a little irrelevant, but it’s hardly dull. The film shows decent photography, editing, and production value. Acting is not bad, though the accents might be a little hokey (I don’t really know; maybe somebody from the same area can say for sure), and some parts can be a bit overly-sentimental. But, it is a great cast. SFX show their age these days, especially regarding particle effects, but still look really cool. Music is…sappy… ![]() 4/5 (entertainment: 4/5, story: 3.5/5, film: 4/5, emotional impact: 3/5) This Blu-Ray is quite the catch. Picture quality has a few soft spots, but detail is very good. It is a bit grainy, but still mostly clean. Color is good for what it’s supposed to be, and contrast is excellent. Sound quality seemed pretty good. PQ: 4/5, AQ: 4/5 |

My parents’ next greatest rental: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.”
So I finally bridged the gap between #4 and #6. It’s been a long time since I read the book for this, but offhand the film looks to be a decent-enough adaptation. A lot of the major plot points that I remember are present in the movie, progressing the story arc and characters along pretty well. Pacing can be a little uneven, as it drags in some spots and skips over others, but I feel it flows much better than “The Goblet of Fire.” I also think this movie has enough awesome SFX and action scenes to satisfy (I don’t even remember the final confrontation being so big in the book; the movie’s finale is pretty darn awesome). As it is with all the latest HP films, “The Order of the Phoenix” is very slick and stylishly filmed, with a superb production quality. Acting seems pretty strong. 4/5 (entertainment: 4/5, story: 3.5/5, film: 4/5) |

I've been planning on posting some reviews around the Internet, like I used to, but haven't really bothered to make one up that's worth posting. I think I will post this one officially; feedback is welcome.
“Troy.” Personally, I am not familiar with the original story for the battle of Troy, so I can’t comment on how historically/mythically/culturally accurate this movie really is. Whether it’s fully embellished or not, it is a rather fun and timeless story; it is only appropriate that Hollywood should someday film it with such a high production cost and a full list of A-list actors. This is such a film; a slick and stylish production with plenty of large-scale set-pieces, exotic-looking locations, huge battles and fight scenes, ambitious CGI effects, and a smidgeon of classic romance. The talents of Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, and even Peter O’Toole are all dispensed here. Watching “Troy” is about as rewarding of an experience as the long list of other Hollywood epics (such as "Jason and the Argonauts," or "300"), for better or for worse. The best part about this film is that it is tremendously entertaining. Whether watching the original two-hour theatrical cut or the sublime three-hour director’s cut, the film is tightly paced and hardly ever dull. Battle scenes are spectacular and often times bloody. Individual fight scenes are pretty swell too. The CGI work is a little fake-looking, but still well-realized and quite slick to look at. Outside of the battles, the film is quite pretty to look at, with so many unique settings and solid camera work. The most negative aspects about this film would likely be reserved for the pickiest of viewers. Despite the film’s quality production, it is not even comparable to the most highly-rated epics in this genre; movies like “Gladiator” and “Braveheart” can easily out-match “Troy.” After all, “Troy” does not have the same quality writing and acting, much less the same thematic prowess or emotional power. It is certainly not as immersive, deep, or insightful. In the end, “Troy” is a polished and entertaining film. 4/5 (entertainment: 4/5, story: 3.5/5, film: 4/5) Recommendation: Yep. It comes recommended to most casual audiences, but those looking for full artistic valor can do better. This Blu-Ray is like a gift from the gods. The picture quality is supremely colorful, vibrant, clean, and has excellent sharpness and detail. Sound quality is uncompressed, and it is really clear and clean, but I did have to turn the volume up quite a bit more than usual; it seems rather subdued. Some parts also seemed a bit muffled; possibly due to source issues from reinserted footage. PQ: 5/5, AQ: 4/5 |

![]() Put these on the MUST "get to it some day list". Just put them on a list so they are not lost or forgotten. These are all serialised....its the only kinda TV I can do. 1. Damages: Glen Close leads heavy hitter all star cast in this legal drama. There is no court room stuff, its all the behind the scenes corrupt, evil, heavy drama. 2. Deadwood: Yeah, its a western, so what. ![]() ![]() 3. Breaking Bad: Its winning a zillion awards because it deserves it. ![]() 4. LOST: Best TV show in the history of forever. ![]() I consider all these shows to be written, directed, acted and shot better than 95% of what makes it to the theaters nowadays. |
