Ghost Rider.
I liked it, but I think they should have trimmed back a bit on the CG budget, and put the money into the writing budget.
Also, the female lead, Eva Mendes, can't act.

Utter tripe. No worse than that, mouldy tripe covered in poo.

Reconfiguring & Reconstructing
Best in Show-not laugh out loud but certainly very funny.
I saw:
This is England:
Which was amazing - so unsettling and convincing. There was nothing simple about the reasons for anyone's choices - it never felt like he was shpwing you 2 standpoints of pro and anti-fascist, so instead of running battles and violence there were strange situations where you didn't know how it was going to turn out any more than the characters did - the scenes with Milky and Combo near the end for example, where his political standpoint counts for nothing compared to the reality of his own envy and failure. Brilliant performances too.
Rize:
I loved it - felt like a documentary/music video, it's a weird hybrid of the two but it works. David LaChapelle made it - he does glitzy, kitsch photos and music videos so the dance sequences are incredible and really fucking exciting but it's the competition with the clowning against the krunking that's the best. Massive crowd in this huge arena and the two styles having a showdown - one on one face off stylee
Everyone from the tiniest to the biggest can do it, all ages. It's a really expressive style as well, much more so than breaking - they mock fight, tear clothes, use facial expressions, whatever street furniture that's around, everything possible. LaChapelle chucks some footage of African tribal dances in as well to show the similarities in movements but there is no narrator and no explanation of anything shown - so when he uses footage of the LA riots at the beginning it's a pretty blunt way of explaining the situation that the kids from the areas are in. It works pretty well imo - better than a VO giving you a sermon.
One frustrating thing is that the featured people in it don't get enough depth and story - although it's the tale of the dance he's telling and he does that well - it's fucking sexy as hell and I wanted to be a krunker by the end but I think I'd hurt myself badly
Grizzly Man:
Doco on this naturalist, Timothy Treadwell, who got eaten by bears along with his girlfriend in Alaska. Less about the bears than this really, really strange man who you do get a bit of a sense of by the end. A pretty misguided character who thought the bears were his friends and that he was protecting them by living among them in the summer months - very strange film indeed. I kind of got the feeling I was seeing someone go a *bit* mad - you can't fault his commitment or his hard as nuts lifestyle. Thought it was very good and any argument about his worth as a naturalist and the success of his campaign for the bears is largely kept out of it, thankfully - it's all about this muddled human - it's a very "humane" film imo.

Is that the next one after the Departed following the infernal affars remakes?Iam said:I saw The Prestige this weekend.
Excellent. A bit long, but hugely entertaining and very well played.
nah, it's a fairly ordinary Christopher Nolan movie about 19th century magicians
