Forbidden Planet

It is a very good movie. It has good colour for a 50s movie, makes you think about the ideas in the movie, and Robbie the Robot is awesome!

mozart and the whale. i had major issues with this film but i still really liked it. donald was cute. it is the first film involving an autist where the autist is the main character and the main person controlling the story(as opposed to being a plot device) that i have watched and where they weren't infantalised, had their sexuality adressed and ended up with a love interest and in a relationship at the end of the film. i think that outweighs the negatives. plus i could relate to donald and even mozart(i do not recall her name) a little.

The female autist's name is Isabelle Sorenson, played by {the very hot} Radha Mitchell.

{Also I do own a copy of Adam, which I have yet to watch.}

It's in fact inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Blindness

This is a really good movie! At least if you are refering to this one...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness_(film)
Also mozart and the whale was ok. I prefer Adam but Bill thats cool it was filmed in your home town. Blindness was film in sortof my home town of Toronto.

Yeah, I read the book first. The book was a lot more gruesome and horrifying than the actual movie.

I saw Ted at the cinema yesterday. It was better than I thought it would be. Definitely a stoner movie...

We rented Underworld: Awakening last night. As the movie ended on a cliff hanger, it seems Kate Beckinsale won't be out of work any time soon.

Just finished watching "God Bless America" on netflix - sort of a serial killer comedy / road movie. The main character seems very Aspie-like, and Tara Lynne Barr was certainly enjoyable to watch, as well...

I loved that movie. The ending was spectacular, but somehow the rest of the movie was almost as good as the climax.
The main character really did portray what I occasionally feel like.

After months of postponing, I finally watched V for Vendetta today after listening to the 1812 Overture and seeing a reference to that movie. I liked it.

I agree! When I saw it, the audience I was with laughed really hard at certain points.

leaded/unleaded. it's a documentary about a series of strikes/protests that happened in lebanon around the rise in the price of petrol and cost of living a few years ago and goes into the armys' violent repression of the class struggle. it also talks about previous events like that and the state sponsored violence then. it was so good.

I've discovered a lot of B-movie Sci-Fi on YouTube lately:

4D Man - Not a great story, but some surprisingly naturalistic acting for this genre.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5OFxir4SCk[/youtube]

Flight To Mars (1951) There's not really much that's good about this film, unless you are into really short mini-skirts on Martian women.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m63WNcILpc[/youtube]

Crash Of Moons - Evil queens and cheesey model rocket ships. Nice stuff. This ain't the whole film, but it'll tell you all you need to know about this movie.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDILn5SMrfU[/youtube]

Rocketship X-M - So similar to "Flight To Mars" that I wasn't sure if I had seen it before. Uses the same rocket ship interior set.

Not exactly what the previews portray it as. Good movie though.

Re-watched Training Day. Real interesting thing, a bit of deus ex machina in that a higher power saved Ethan Hawke's character's life. Not something I realized the first time.

I have that movie. I like Denzel Washington, but I HATED Alonzo Harris. I hate to think that there ARE cops like him.

The sad thing, while there's maybe less than 1% who get in that far, there may well be 20% (in some districts rather than others) who are a third of the way there. People get to know which precincts are largely ethical and which ones have bizarre things going on that need Federal intervention.
