Knight And Day. Tom Cruise is fucking scary. He looks like he's gonna flip out on you any second and he looks like that ALL the time.

Vantage Point - after all the build-up from friends (younger friends, I admit) this was kind of disappointing.
Hitchcock once said something like this:
"Give me a table, put some people around it. Then show the audience there's a bomb under the table. If the bomb explodes, that's ACTION. But if it doesn't, that's SUSPENSE."
This movie had too much action and too little suspense. At the heart of it the notion of seeing the same 15 minutes of hyper-kinetic destruction (an assassination attempt accompanied by several bomb explosions) over and over again from different people's points of view to reveal all is not what it seems is an intriguing concept, but this is a movie that's too in love with it's concept. It doesn't really develop characters well, there's a mix of crowd movement and violence that keeps you from really connecting with anyone in the movie. Characters are wooden and some players motivations aren't explained at all.
And the chase scenes and shooting/fight scenes all suffer from the modern day need to put the camera too close to the action. When you can't place where the cars are going, what they're passing or even at times how close they are to each other, it becomes disorientating.
So, I didn't think it was that good.

West World. It was more objectively interesting than enjoyable, to be honest - I liked the way the frontiers of the old West and new technologies were conflated under the authority of mythic possibility, and it was interesting not so much for being a spectacular kick in the guts as for the way in which it seemed like a forerunner to movies like Terminator and Total Recall. I guess I'm more glad to have seen it than I actually enjoyed watching it, overall, but it's an okay movie.

Dead or Alive by Takashi Miike. It's good but the ending sucks.

When those types of movies came out in the seventies (Westworld, Futureworld, Silent Running, Logan's Run, Saturn 5, Capricorn 1, etc.) we always watched them with this wistful feeling that these things could have been so much better if they were given decent budgets and better effects. Star Wars changed all that. Thank goodness Total Recall wasn't made ten years earlier.

I've always been meaning to watch Logan's Run. Movies like that remind me of obscure sci fi novels my dad owned.
Just watched Empire Strikes Back, reading Jane Slayre makes me want to watch the Orson Wells Jane Eyre again. Wells wasn't a good looking man but he made such a fantastic Mr. Rochester. But I wouldn't die a thousand deaths to live it, like the movie poster apparently claimed.

Nah I'm good!
I really should look into something like netflix though...which apparently isn't available in Canada, dammit! We have Zip which is apparently a piece of shit, and more expensive.

They have instant viewing online though, don't they? Which no similar service in Canada offers >.< I kinda feel bad because I don't really buy movies anymore, sometimes I'll buy an obscure film that I can't find online at all but I just rarely watch films more than once, unless I really liked it.
