Logan's Run: 3/5
This film was ahead of it's time in many senses except that of racial tolerance.

I'm on my second set now and can't imagine home-viewing without them. Try some recent Michael Mann, Heat or especially Collateral, for really subtle use of 5.1.

Oh how I love surround sound. I remember watching Tae Guk Gi for the first time and getting really pissed off because I thought some neighbors dog would not stop barking outside. I even went to the window to see who was out there and then realized, of course, that it was all the 5.1...

Just watched Miller's Crossing. Oh, you, Coens!

3.5/5

Far better than the first half of my comedy double bill (Wedding Crashers) but drags in places, especially the final act. The condom scene brought back a distant, though vivid, memory. I won't go into it on this family-friendly messageboard...



I wonder what my Movie Wallah will bring round tomorrow?

Put me in your pocket...
Saving Face ~ I really liked this for the most part. I loved the characters and it had some funny, charming moments. I wish some things were explored a little more and other things were cut. I loved Michelle Krusiec and Joan Chen as daughter and mother....and I liked the rest of the cast too. Loved the ending credits tying a few things up.


Cinderella Man ~ I loved everything about this movie.

I was watching it with a friend and they aren't hardcore about movies so I had to compromise. Oh well, still a dope movie.

Surviving the Game
Will someone please make a sequel to this?

How was Capote? I'm really looking forward to that one, but haven;t had an opportunity to see it yet.

I was dissapointed. I didn't find the direction of it involving at all. I personally got no feel - or at least held no interest - for any of the characters. From what I understand, Hoffman's performance is spot on to the real Capote, which is just even more uninteresting. Not a bad film, but also not all that engrossing.

Which is almost the same way I felt towards Good Night, and Good Luck, so maybe it is just an unfortunate generational gap (I'll admit that though I knew more of the events/persons of Good Night, I still know very little of either's history).

Heh, don't be. I'm forcing myself to watch even more horror (and I already watch more than my fair share) since I've begun to finally launch a horror site I had planned to months ago.

I'm good until I start watching underground exploitation films. Which at this rate probably isn't very far off.
