I recently watched a Japanese "Shock" Feature: The Machine Girl.
Downloaded it from bitcomet. The blood and guts are so graphic it's comical. Definite cult hit.

Shattered starring Pierce Brosnan. Not to be confused with the 1989 "Shattered", starring Tom berringer.
A really interesting movie.

Our kids rented a couple of movies last weekend and my wife and I watched them before they had to be returned:
BEOWOLF: 3 stars out of 5. Pretty darn good, all things considered. THE ILLUSIONIST: One of the best films I've watched in a very long time. Kind of a "chick-flick", but not totally. Edward Norton STOLE this movie, but the rest of the cast did a damn fine job. Great cinematography. Great score. Incredible directing. Incredible story. Altogether enjoyable. We liked it so much we watched it twice the same day (not back-to-back, but still..) 5 stars out of 5.

Just watched Derailed with Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. Nice surprise, better than I thought it would be.

Watched the first disc of "The War" by Ken Burns. I always enjoy his work and this one is starting out well.

Mongol
A fine arts US release (6/2008) by Russian diretor Sergei Bodrov. The story of Genghis Khan. More story than blood than one might expect. If you like the movie 300 you like this one. It has all the heart without the comic book flair. http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/06/06/movies/06mong.html http://www.mongolmovie.com/

Free screening of "Hancock". C to B-.
Felt like it was an origin story. I wish it had more of the origin story. Had a lot of parts I wish they expanded on. It would go from funny to serious almost to quickly for me.

You're no James Bond, yeah, well you're no Thomas Jefferson!
Charlie Wilson's War
Better than I thought it would be. I had seen a story a few months ago about the real Charlie Wilson. As an added treat, Amy Adams was in it as well as Charlie Wilson's Administrative Assistant. I just really enjoy watching Amy Adams. I first saw her in Junebug. If you haven't seen Junebug, it's worth viewing, IMHO.

Yesterday at walmart, I grabbed a triple-set of Anthony Hopkins movies boxed in one (Silence Of The Lambs, Bounty and Desperate Hours). My wife and I watched DH last night. Micky Rourke chewed the scenery and poor Anthony did what he could with a stilted and rather stupid script. (Actually, the script wasn't too bad; it was Michael Cimino's hamhanded and rather self conscious and unsubtle directing that pretty much ruined it). Wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but it sure wasn't the best either. I've not seen the original Bogey/Marsh version but now that I've seen this one, I'd like to.

Check out "The Prestige"; it's a hate story compared to "the Illusionist" being a love story, but also an excellent film.
