The Book of Eli

If your not a person of any paticular faith, chances are your either going to find some parts cheesy, or you generally wont like them.

Gary Oldman is always great. I'm still crazy about Mila Kunis :biggrin:


Overall I thought it was a very solid film. Denzel is still one of my all time favorite actor's and even though this character seemed to lack some depth at times he portrayed the cold very well.


Good stuff imho. If you see it, I guarantee you think you'll see the twist at the end coming. Then it ends up being something completely unexpected yet sutble throughout the entire movie once you look back.

Snatch..
Such a great movie.

(I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, so no details) At the end of the movie--literally right before what I would call the climax--our DVD stopped working. It was scratched, I guess, and it stopped playing right at the worst possible opportunity.
So after about 10 minutes of trying to fix it, we youtube'd the end... And whoever's computer it was... it crashed. At about the second worst possible opportunity.

In the end my movie-watching experience wasn't diminished, considering that our bad luck was effing hillarious.

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29

Documentary of the 1968 season finale between Harvard and Yale; each team entered the game with a perfect 8-0-0 record, and they played to a 29-29 tie. Probably the greatest game in the history of the Ivy League, and also one of the most amazing comebacks in the history of college football, this game also marked the swansong of the Ivy League as a major football conference.

Contains many interviews with members of each team, including actor Tommy Lee Jones (Harvard) and Brian Dowling (Yale); for those who are unfamiliar with Dowling, he was a legendary quarterback of Cleveland St. Ignatius before matriculating to Yale, and he was the inspiration for the Doonesbury character B.D. Unfortunately, Yale's star running back Calvin Hill (later of the Dallas Cowboys) was not interviewed.

Fact: Al Gore invented playing "Dixie" on a touch-tone phone.

An article on my favorite film, The Seventh Seal, from the Wall Street Journal:

Death Personified - WSJ - Peter Cowie - 01/16/2010

No single film of the art-house era (c.1956-68) exerted as great an influence on so many directors and critics as did "The Seventh Seal." From Woody Allen to Walter Murch, from Philip Kaufman to Richard Corliss, these individuals remember the night they saw Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece as vividly as they recall the death of Marilyn Monroe or the assassination of JFK.

* * *

During the prevideo period, "The Seventh Seal" was booked by colleges across America more than any other title. Since then, on cassette, on laserdisc, on DVD, and now in an extraordinary Blu-ray version from Criterion, Bergman's medieval allegory has continued to touch fresh generations of viewers.

Like the poetry of A.E. Housman or Rupert Brooke, it appeals to young people, posing fundamental questions many college students grapple with. Its passionate rhetoric and romantic anguish have never struck audiences as excessive. On the many occasions I've presented the film at universities across America and in Europe over the past 35 years, I have never heard anyone snigger at the moment when Death appears on the seashore.

Paranormal Activity. What a fcuking waste of time except that, at least in the alternative ending, both of the incredibly annoying characters die violently. I just wish that it could've happened forty minutes earlier.

My only question about that movie was how the fuck did The Edge qualify to be part of it. He doesn't even play guitar as far as I'm concerned. I was wondering how Jack and Jimmy would feel about the fact that everything he does is through an effects box, but he pretty much just came out and said it anyway.
