Reconfiguring & Reconstructing
Terminator Salvation. Proof if ever there was needed that you can dress up a turd with some neat special effects but it will still always be a steaming big lump of shite.

So many particulars. So many questions.

What happened to Dubversion ?
I always get mixed up with the Deadwood seasons which was the season that ended with a big wedding party and Wu cutting off his pigtail and declaring his alleigance to swegin ?

I watched Andrzej Wajda's Ashes and Diamonds. A brilliant film and part of a trilogy.
The most noticeable thing was the black and white photography and the lighting. It was wonderful. Every shade of black, grey and white with some remarkable sets. And it was made in 1958.
Now tell me something please. Why are so many modern films so fucked up with their lighting (lack of) and cinematography? I have lost count of the films I have watched where the lighting is shite to such an extent that you can't see either the faces or what's going on. It isn't art, its not big and it's not clever. Moreover it puts the viewer off.
Having just watched all of Truffaut's films I can't recall one that was badly lit. Maybe the new breed of technicians can't understand that normal people usually switch the light on when entering a room and they certainly don't walk down pitch black corridors. Clearly had they watched a Wajda film or some of Gregg Toland's work they may have learned something.
Rant over.

Just watched Encounters at the End of the World by Werner Herzog. It is a documentary film about people and places in Antarctica, amazing. Gonna watch one of his feature films now The Wild Blue Yonder.

Doubt, with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Quite good, interesting story that's open to all sorts of interpretation but still left me feeling it was a bit unsatisfying. Not entirely sure why tbh as there was great acting from the two main characters. Philip Seymour Hoffman is rapidly becoming one of my favourite actors ever - he can elevate an average movie just by his presence. I like the varied roles he picks, too.

Surrogates. Bruce Willis film in which instead of being plugged into the matrix everyone is plugging into robots. These are called surrogates because James Camaron has already done a film called Avatar.
Not great.

King Of Insides
The Stuff (1985) - Another Larry Cohen film starring Michael Moriarty, this time about mindless consumerism & killer icecream . Great fun, Paul Sorvino was rather good as a rabid anti-commie general in it too.

Hardly getting over it.
Starship Troopers 3 - Marauder.
Finally we get the mobile infantry battlesuits!!

The In Kraut
Pandorum, which was slightly better than I thought it would be. It's best in the beginning where two amnesiac crew members of a gigantic starship wake up from hypersleep and have to figure out what's going on and the end is reasonably clever. The mid section, while watchable enough, is just too familiar (Alien, Event Horizon, The Descend)
