Don't pay to see The Box. Unlike The Happening, it's not even fun to laugh at. It's very, very boring.

Was My Boy Jack to good for bbc or to bad?


Breaking Bad is one of the two best shows produced in America, along with Mad Men. Amazing stuff.

I recently caught part of Matrix Reloaded on cable. It was the fight with all the Mr. Smiths. The VFX were the same as the video game that came out around the same time. Horrible. Poorly conceived and executed. Those sequels are very similar to the Star Wars prequels and Pirates sequels in all their flaws. Jumbled, messy exposition, lifeless characters, and don't milk all the best parts of the universe they created. Abyssal storytelling all around. It's a shame. Tarantino says he used to list The Matrix as one of the two best films in the past 15 years, until the sequels came out and ruined the mythology for him!

[Matrix Reloaded]

Ive never been more disappointed after watching a film than when I saw Matrix Reloaded, mainly because I was so excited about it. The trouble is that it's not a 3 film story, the sequels felt as though they were tagged on and not part of a greater whole. You didn't need to see Zion or the full extent of Neo's powers, it was one of the things that is better left unseen.

Another from film4, Memories of Matsuko. A Japanese film, one of the most surreal and original films i've seen in a long time. It's not perfect but certainly worth a watch. I can't even explain it, it's sort of a musical.

and finally saw Fantastic Mr Fox, I thought it was really great. Wes Anderson completely changed the vibe of the book, it didn't feel like a Roald Dahl story because he made the characters more complex, 2 of the farmers are completely passive and Mr Fox is not completely likeable. I loved the relationship between the son and the cousin and the the stop motion was brilliant.

Lol at Marlon Brando.

Jokes aside, I did think the Matrix sequels really were lame. Some great action, but action that was completely pointless and uninvolving at the same time. You think about where the sequels could have gone it's actually quite tragic.

Good start.

[The Box]

Yeah, I'm still hoping I get a kick out of The Box...

And The Matrix sequels were mindblowing eye candy/action and fun, people are way too harsh about them methinks.

Been watching Breaking Bad too, what a damn fine show!

You can use it in one of your posts today. I don't dare.

Wellll I'm not sure about that. I'd rather write a children's book than a PhD.
