I watched Koyaanisqatsi (1982). The film title comes from the Hopi language and roughly translates to "unbalanced life".

The movie has no dialogue, and almost no words are heard. The only words we hear are "Koyaanisqatsi" during some parts of the film (at the beginning in particular), and a few other words during the recitation (though barely audible) of some Hopi mantras. The rest of the audio is music (composed by Philip Glass)

The film doesn't have a specific story. We see shots of nature and its destruction to construct society in its place. The scenes vary from slow-motion to time-lapse, and rarely anything is shown at a normal pace. It seems to emphasize the order of nature and the artificial order of society that at a large scale is highly heterogeneous and chaotic.


What is your opinion of Phillip Glass' music that was used?

Devil In The Dark.

Pretty decent horror movie for the obvious show string budget. Two estranged brothers go out on a deer hunt in a barely accessible part of the mountains, and discover soon they are being hunted by the thing living there.

The Hoax

If you enjoy true-crime films, do take the time to watch this biopic about Clifford Irving, a man who almost pulled off one of the greatest cons of the 20th century; the con being his claim that Howard Hughes gave him the authority to edit and publish an autobiography called The Autobiography Of Howard Hughes.

Richard Gere.

Daredevil Directors Cut
A little better than the cut that ran in theaters.

Crawl.

Surprisingly good horror flick about a young woman who returns to the home she was raised, during a hurricane, in order to rescue her estranged father, when she discovers that both of them, and every other human in the vicinity are prey for gigantic alligators (I thought they were more on the size dimension of crocodiles)!

Yes, he gives a great performance as Irving.

I went to see It 2 too and really enjoyed it (except a lot of the end of the film which was boring without much story going on).

Independence Day
I went to the theater to see this with my dad back in 1996. I love Brent Spiner in this and in general too.

Lust For A Vampire (1971)


Carmilla, a vampire from the Karnstein family, who died in the seventeenth century is reincarnated as 'Mircalla' 120 years later. She becomes a pupil at an exclusive finishing school somewhere in Central Europe, with the usual absurd consequences you'd expect in a Hammer horror film of this period. Directed by Jimmy Sangster, who should have stuck to script-writing.

Mircalla is played by the Danish actress Yutte Stensgaard, who appeared in a handful of films from 1969-71, and whose main talent seems to have lain in taking off her clothes.

The following trailer gives a flavour of the proceedings:

Gemini Man (saw this last Sunday at Cineworld, Cinema, UK) Stars Will Smith in dual roles(send in the clones!), Mary Elizabeth Winstead(she was great!), Clive Owen & Benedict Wong.

Enjoyed this, as I love action/thriller films. Particularly impressive motorbike chase scene ... crazy!!

Karma.

Surprisingly good horror flick made by the Scyfy Channel. A young husband, working for his crooked father-in-law who makes money off of evictions, finds himself cursed by a vengeful demon.
