movies you watched today

[moosmom]

I went to see "It's complicated". I didn't stop laughing through the entire movie. Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep were a riot!!!

A definite MUST SEE!

I saw "Watchmen".

Good.

I don't really like movies where you jump into a story with a long history to it.
I think that the movie based on where a character/s came from is more compelling that a movie that gives you a glimpse back in the opening credits-ala any movie that comes from a Marvel Comic.

The producer of AVATAR said that he has a couple of projects in the works with James Cameron. One is based on the sport of freediving. Competitors take a breath and see how far down the can dive with no oxygen tanks.

If he is true to form? He will take the movie-THE BIG BLUE-and butcher storyline that to get his movie.

No, stuff like that doesn't count. That is a cartoon/CGI prduction!

When they take motion capture technology and try to pass it off as something else? Years ago there was a Lord of the Rings Cartoon done by Ralph Bashiki.

From what I remember? It was a film that was colored in later on-to add special effects and background. The actors were real, then enhanced in post production........


Avatar just takes that idea and 'computes' it.

That is my only problem with the way the film is being marketed.

Same idea, different tech!

I saw the animated version of The Hobbit when I was young and it creeped me out so bad I refused to read Lord Of The Rings until two years ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077687/

Airplane
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

It's Complicated - this afternoon. It was okay - not the best, nor the worst one I've ever seen.
