Just got back from seeing A Scanner Darkly. I watched the trailer, I saw that it was based on a story by Philip Dick, I got all excited for the animation, and then…..
It sucked!!!
Talk about a waste of $10. I mean there were some interesting moments, and the animation was great, but the movie was extremely dark and morbid and dragged on and on. I was expecting a sci-fi movie, what I like to call real sci-fi. A movie that was intricate and a thinker. Instead I got a bunch of warped and mildly comical scenes that seemed more like bad psychedelic drug trip than anything else.
Unless yer into weird and dark indy flicks stay far away.
Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest today. It was fun. Totally summer fluff and cheezy, but entertaining for sure. I’d recommend it to anyone who liked the last movie, but keep in mind you have to wait 11 months for the conclusion of the story in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. So if your one of those people who hates waiting for the conclusion, you might want to wait til next year, rent Dead Man’s Chest and the go to the theatre for At World’s End.

Went to go see Superman Returns tonight. It was well worth the price of admission. I enjoyed it much more than X-men 3 (a movie that I liked). Kevin Spacey did a great job as Lex Luthor. However Kate Bosworth didn’t fit the part for Lois Lane. She wasn’t a bad actor, but I felt like Lois Lane needed to be more aggressive, assertive. Brandon Routh did a much better job being Superman than I was expecting. I liked the twist about Superman having a kid. The biggest flaw in the movie was in the editing. I love long movies… if being longer helps develop the movie (ala LOTR). But if it is long because of bad editing then it takes away from the movie (ala King Kong or A.I.). The end of Superman could have been chopped by 20 minutes, with the hospital scene dragging on longer than necessary. Still in spite of this, the movie shined, and pleased the comic book collector inside of me.
