I just watched the Werner Herzog film 'The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser' yesterday. I liked it.

On Friday, I saw Moon at the arthouse in Portland.

F-ing S! This movie is good.
Get your ass to your arthouse/theater that plays only indie movies
and see this! This movie ROCKS!

Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone

It was totally awesome!

"Eraserhead". A really weird deranged cult film from the 70's.

* Harry Potter 6

* Phantom of the Opera (the Andrew Lloyd Webber version.)

* In the Name of the Father.

"Borat" from Baron-Cohen (Sacha)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It doesn't matter if you like or don't like Harry Potter,
see this movie! It's amazingly well-done!

Yes it's 2 1/2 hours long, but better buy a medium or large drink
to keep you full during the movie. Most of the time is devoted
to who is making-out with who.

Previews Seen Before the Movie:

Sherlock Holmes-Looks funny, it's set to be an entertaning
movie when it opens on Christmas Day.

2012- Roland Emmerich wants the end of the world
to be put on warp speed beginning in November.
Thanks a lot, Roland Emmerich! Opens November 13th.

Shorts- The preview for this played at least 4 times
before the movie started. "I wish for Telephonesis!"
That line had me laughing. Opens August 14th.

G-Force: Despite playing in theaters now, this movie
looks stupid. Have the purchases of guinea pigs gone up already?

Abyss on television tonight LOVE ALL OVER!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

and still: LOVE ALLOVR

From the WATER!

"The Prestige" this afternoon

I saw 'Master And Commander' with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, and I ended up loving it. It was a movie about a marine vessel and its crew in the Napoleontic wars. At first I thought it was a bit wooden with regard to characterisation and plot, and at the same time I was afraid the movie was going to be too violent for my tastes when I saw the cannonballs plunge into the ship's hull en masse. But both concerns were crushed as the movie progressed, and I really liked the interaction between Crowe and Bettany playing the militaristic captain and the refined doctor/naturalist respectively, and the violence wasn't too graphic- no eviscerations.

I didn't know, but the movie was apparently inspired by a series of novels about these characters, so maybe I should chase those down and read them.

Orphan, a psychological horror movie. It wasn't too bad. Drag me to hell, I liked it! The funeral scene alone was great!

I just saw 'The Dambusters' on television, a war movie from 1955. It featured a very unfortunately named black dog (who also dies after being hit by a car halfway into the movie), and that same word was later used as a code word by the pilots to relay to HQ that the dam had been breached.

Even aside from the use of the N word, I thought it was a very slow movie. Very little happened to my tastes. I guess it just wasn't for me, but I believe it's considered a classic (and I even read that the scene of the bombing of the dam inspired the rebels' raid of the Deathstar in Star wars 20 years later). But no, I didn't enjoy this movie.

1984 (the John Hurt version)

Jane Eyre (the George C. Scott version)

The Fifth Element (1998)
