synopsis: "I'm a clone and I'm getting off this rock!" He then does so without a single hitch to his plans and the people of Earth are aghast at his plight (like they totally would be in real life.) The End.
as I said earlier in this thread Duncan Jones hasn't quite made the great sci-fi movie that is obviously in there somewhere. I enjoyed both Moon and Source Code though I'd like to see him tackle something of a wider scope and not just single room type shoots. Seems his project "Mute" which was talked about as a homage to bladerunner has been put on hold due to funding, sad face
William Gibson is a fan and twitter feeds seem to have them talking on occasion, Neuromancer? The project is in perpetual limbo.
Jonah Hex
Not wonderful, but better than I expected after reading a slew of crappy reviews.
It's neither as hard to follow or as badly acted as most reviewers seemed to think.
Also liked the recent Jane Eyre. Then watched L'empire des loups. Not as good, but notable for one stimulating ass-kicking sequence in a covered walkway.
Apparently it's a little hard getting an English subtitle file to go with this movie on a Mac but I really didn't need it. I liked the vibe of this entire movie. It's a cool flick.
for a movie that took 8 years to make it sure is short and light on storm footage, but imax movies at the henry doorly zoo are only $5 so it's not like it was a waste of money.
Another Year
I always think when I watch a Mike Leigh movie, that more than any other director, he'd be a good friend to have.
His care for humanity and his ability to portray people as real people aren't matched by anyone else making movies.
I loved this one.
