I had only seen a little bit of a preview for this film, so wasn’t sure what to expect before I went to see it last weekend. I know that the term “visually stunning” is thrown around a lot, but if anything fits the name it’s this.

The lighting, mood, action, and cinematography in this were just amazing, not to mention that it had a great story as well. The reviews are predictably whining about the lack of plot and storyline, the “comic book” origin, and on and on. Screw them. This is a feast for the eyes, and has some great moments.

See it in a theater if you can before it’s gone!

I heard about the event through MoveOn.org, and decided to get involved. I didn’t think I’d hear from anybody since I live out in the middle of nowhere, and in a red state no less, but I had 3 people show up, and we watched the film and talked about it and what we could do (regardless how small) to make a difference.

The more I read about Global Warming and problems we face, the more appalled I am at the politicians, corporations, and general nimrods that keep trying to insist that there’s no real problem.

If you haven’t had a chance to see An Inconvenient Truth yet, I urge you to do so.

http://www.ericgooch.com/index.php/2006/09/02/2046/ This is a movie I rented recently. I’m still not sure if I liked it overall…there was some really beautiful camera work here, and there were some interesting story elements, but it was also kind of confusing. It was one of those movies that shifts around through different timelines, which is sometimes cool and sometimes has you thinking “wha?”

It can be very slow at times, so if you’re one of those that needs a lot of things happening for it to hold your attention, you may be disappointed. But there’s also something about it that I liked about the characters and relationships, however flawed.

Has a strange blend of past and futuristic themes, and is sort of a Chinese Science Fiction/Love story.
