I don't understand why you show so much interest in discussing the lives of others but so little empathy. Don't worry about my life, it suits me fine. As I'm sure yours suits you, though it's hard to tell the way you complain about every minute facet. fwiw I was in line for passport renewal for 3 ho...

It's hard to compare two different movies like The Illusionist & The Prestige. They're similar in that they both involve magicians so there are sleight of hand types of maneuvers in the plot but that's where the similarity ends. I just watched & loved The Illusionist. Edward Norton does a great job ...

Certainly the basis of the movie is in the same genre, but there's a whole lot more going on for those who can see. Do tell. I certainly saw more potential themes in the movie then I stated... man's indifference & negative influence on the environment... a possible connection re: the virus that was...

And most ironically, maybe, is your comment about the movie being bent on portraying Americans in a very bad light. Not ironic at all. I have no problem at all with Americans. I do have a problem with their govt au jour. My goal was not to knock a movie that you liked or try & convince you that you...

I'll give you the quality CGI & the quick appearance of the fish but other then that I didn't find many redeeming qualities to this movie. It's not the Korean humor, which is something you need to get used to, but I think most was lost in the translation. I just didn't see much to the story beyond a...

I loved Apocalypse Now Redux. I just watched The Lathe of Heaven. The original 1980 version. Very low budget flick. Originally on PBS and never made it to video because it had a Beatles song on it & they didn't want to pay the royalties. They dubbed over it with a cover version & made a tape from a ...

btw, I watched & really liked The Quiet Earth. Turns out it's written by a guy named Craig Harrison from New Zealand. It's long out of print & had a very short run to begin with so I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I stumbled across a thread on a movie site where some guy in NZ has the book & is wil...
