Memoirs of a Geisha

Amazing flick. Working my way through the extras overload.

Well, I did it.

My two week trial with Netflix commenced toward the end of last week. There were a couple movies I wanted to see, but I didn't want to pay full price. I am too lazy to use the conventional video store, as I suck at returning videos.

So far I've seen Tokyo Godfathers and Millenium Actress, both are anime movies written and directed by Satoshi Kon, who is also responsible for Paranoia Agent.

Way cool flicks ... I don't think either of them would translate well to a live-action movie (Tokyo Godfathers might, in a Three Men and a Baby kind of way, but it would be terribly mis-cast).

Millenium Actress uses a very neat little trick for the memoir sequences (which comprise most of the film). Very neat.

Oh, and as far as netflix goes? I already upgrade my membership to two DVDs in hand at the same time.

Netflix really is nice unless you don't keep an eye on your spouses cue and get "Little Black Book" (a movie so bad it won't even rate a cult following) and "Super Size Me" (which I had no intention of seeing) on the same weekend.

most recently for me was Derailed with Clive Owen and Jen Aniston. Wsa very good, a nice change from a lot of the CRAP that is out there right now.

Saved! (A not terribly funny satire that relies on gross misunderstanding of Christianity)

Profit (TV Series that lasted about four weeks, starring Adrian Pasdar.)

I watched The Squid and The Whale yesterday. I really enjoyed it and I think anyone else who went through divorce as a child would, too. It was sad and very funny. It has a strong Wes Andersen feel (as it should, he produced).

I have no TV signal coming into my house. I have a 5-disc DVD changer. I just got Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume Three (I was at Fry's shopping for a dishwasher) ...looks like it has some great episodes: Fratboy Aliens, Total Recarl, The Broodwich.

Saw Elizabethtown over the weekend. It was your typical romance movie. Cute at times.

There were a couple totally impossible scenes/ideas that kind of bugged me. Like Kirsten Dunst made a "trip tic" of sorts with accompanying mix CDs timed to the mile so Orlando Bloom could do a road trip across half the country, riding back country roads and stopping to see the sights. It's a pretty cool idea. Her directions led him to particular places, and if he went the proper route at the proper speed, the mixed CDs were synced to his journey. She would also narrate some of the sights on the CDs she made. In reality, it would have taken her a week or two to create this multimedia realtime directions binder, especially to get the syncing right, but she somehow put it together in an evening.

Overall, it was an OK movie. If I had to give a thumbs up or thumbs down, it would get the thumbs up.

glatt, have you seen Garden State? Pretty much the same movie, but MUCH better, IMO. Guy is unsatisfied with his life/job, goes home to another state for family funeral, meets amazing girl, falls in love after knowing her two days, etc.

Seriously though, see Garden State. It's very well done. Natalie Portman is super cute. And so is Zach Braff, despite his giant nose.

Yeah, I've seen Garden State. It's a really cool movie. I liked the boat-house best.

Just watched Match Point, and kind of hated it.

Entirely too sad.
