To get back to the whole "24p thing"...
FANTASTIC!!!:D I finally got a nice, long look at what 24P looks like outside of a Lucas film. Even though the video levels looked a little hotter than I'm used to seeing, it still kept my interest. I kept saying throughout the entire broadcast, "WOW...
Wow... every actor that I rooted for actually WON, not to mention, Best director and Best picture! YEAH!!!:D Now THAT's never happened before 9and probably never will again). Disappointments: James Horner or John Williams not winning for best score... Amelie or The Man Who Wasn't There not...

I will try to keep it short and concise...
-SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!-
I finally got around to seeing it... very good film. Most of the elements were well executed... the performances (of course, Tilda's being the strongest of them all), the photography, and the production design. I do wish...
Funny thing... I saw TR for the first time in over 5 years, and the one thing I noticed that I never caught before was the "you're dreaming" scene, where The Rekall guy is trying to convince Quaid that he's dreaming, and therefore asks him to "drink a red pill." Hmmm... wasn't this scene...
Well, this whole "shift" of mine had been happening gradually, but was fast-tracked by my recent involvement in a film that has been in development for about 4 years now. It's called Village in the Clouds, and is a documentary about a young Taiwanese-American who was brought up in the ways of...
You know, guys (and gals)...
I was sitting at home last weekend, thinking... why do I get suckered into, what is, essentially, the same kind of Hollywood movie, over and over again? Sure, I like to be entertained. But the fact of the matter is, "the formula is getting old." It's at a point...

I see Visual Effects nods for A.I. (along with nods for Art Direction, Costume Design, Original Score and Sound) JP3, and Lord of the Rings. If the Academy has any sense (which, I know, they very rarely do), Moulin Rouge will nab nods for Sound, Sound Effects Editing, Cinematograhpy, Costume...
Latest update...
Saw Dancer in the Dark on DVD yesterday. Not only am I surprised at how great the film was, it didn't bother me for a second that it was shot entirely on DV!! It actually looked like it was done on 16mm. D.i.t.D. is a very powerful and moving film, with lots of irony thrown...
I have now seen CT, HD 3 times in two days! I have to admit... I am totally engrossed by this film!!! The last time I remember enjoying a foreign film this much was when I saw Fellini's unforgettable Nights of Cabiria last year on DVD. I just can't get enough of it!!! As a matter of fact, I...
