New Clips From Battlestar Season 4. Got me fiending for some BSG4, but don’t watch the clips if you don’t like spoilers. (spoilers? who wants to hear a spoiler? [we're not su..suppo..supposed to talk about sp..spoilers, here] Yeah? I’ve got a spoiler… You will all die alone!) - name that quote. [via PB]









Well, I was gonna say this entry til the middle of our trip to Bali, but I got to thinkin’ that it didn’t have too much to do with Bali (well, nothing to do with) and I was trying to keep a theme to the entries that are auto-posted during our trip. Plus, these movies are pretty old anyway, so it doesn’t make much sense to wait. So, I’m publishing this now, a shortnsweet list of the films I saw in the past week or so. Here goes…
- Deathproof - why is the first half of the movie in this jacked up, grindhouse style and the second half not a dust scratch in sight? schizophrenic and lopsided.
- Ratatouille - absolutely wonderful.
- Ken Park - horrible video cinematography. wandering, boring plot. a must for anyone whose not exactly sure what male anatomy looks like.
- Ocean’s 13 - I’ll never get tired of Soderberg’s formula for these movies, I hope he never stops making them. but Ellen Arkin’s cougar-under-love-potion-spell scenes? horrible.
- The Heartbreak kid - dumb. some funny parts. but over all, dumb. Michelle Monaghan can do no wrong.
- Curse of the Golden Flower - gorgeous cinematography, sets, costumes etc… meandering plot.
- 3:10 to Yuma - bad guys as the new good guys? eh. over it.
- Lions For Lambs - 10x better then the reviews said it’d be. I actually liked it. Tom Cruise is a scary mofo. Despite what ignorant sock puppets are saying, the politics in this movie are spot on. go see it.
- Bonus: Bionic Woman (2007 tv show) - the producers wanted this show to look and feel like the new Battlestar Galactica series so much they even took two of its main actors. plots are formulaic and syrupy.
Unfortunately, here in mexico, we get crap movies in the theaters and even crappier movies on dvd. So in essence, this list is an approximation of the better movies that pass through our two horse town. We won’t be getting The Darjeeling Limited, There Will Be Blood, Control, No Country For Old Men anytime soon and we most certainly won’t get Juno.
I am the sound of Ed’s inner film buff, crying tears of shame.
