he can make beautiful highbrow movies too like pan's labyrinth but it's always within the children's/fantasy/horror genre where he dominates.

this weekend i had a bunch of arty foreign movies at home but i could have used something with flying robots instead, or a new installment of hellboy-- there's a time and place for everything. speaking of which there's a hellboy 3 in the works. can't wait!

i really liked pacific rim-- it didn't try to be something that it wasn't. for me is a 10/10 for its genre.

I would have given Pacific Rim a much higher grade if the main guy (sons of anarchy) was a better actor, and if they did not make a girl who was raised by a refined british man (the dude from Luther) speak in pidgin broken Japanese-accented "Engrish"

when will the idiots in Hollywood realize that there are people who do not look white but can still speak perfect conversational english? I hate that shit.

It was a fun Saturday flick though! The fights between the robots and the creatures were great.

LUCY (luc besson 2014). if you can allow for the bad science and the ipad gestures (i did, with no regrets), it's a visually spectacular and superfun movie. a douchy hollywood executive would say "a cross between la femme nikita and 2001 a space odissey, with subliminal apple product placement" and they wouldn't be wrong. but sit down & watch on a big screen & have fun anyway.

(also, scarlett wears faux fur again-- why is that?)

Quite beautiful. Certainly in my personal top 5 of the Studio Ghibli films. The visual style and the music alone are as close to perfection as one can get. The coming of age story works just fine. The ending would be a minor nitpick though. I get why these characters, being naïve teenagers and all would say what they say, but the execution of the scene is a bit off. The line is said and boom, roll credits, all is fine and dandy. It didn't take away too much from the overall experience though. Very glad I watched it!

Gonna have to disagree. It was just a bad film. It looked nice, but so what. A game might look nice, but it don't mean nothing if the story isn't there. Naff. Under The Skin however, was just brilliant. Next to Nightcrawler it was my favourite film of last year.

really? i was tired of superserious movies (e.g. "poetry" or "uncle boonmee who remembers his past lives" or "sansho the bailiff" -- *yawn* ) and i really really really enjoyed it this one-- even though it's science-bullshit i can suspend disbelief & enjoy the ride.

when i pick a luc besson movie i know what to expect, and this one did not disappoint.

this... this reminds me of "the cat returns". is it the same character?

btw you'd love "the kingdom of dreams and madness" if you haven't seen it yet-- it's not a super-well-made movie but it follows the last days of studio ghibli and the making of miyazaki's last film.

oh i posted some photos to clarify above

her characters are made to wear these fur jackets (plastic, obviously, these days)-- in under the skin it's what she wears pretty much the whole movie

then in lucy she starts w/ some leopard jacket--

i was wondering if they do that because of her (scarlett in animal pelts), because of the characters (animal instinct, hunter/prey whatever) and if it is a coincidence or a pattern

i am nearly blind to women's fashions but this one caught my eye (well, it's scarlett-- one tends to stare & stare)

Speaking of Besson, I had to watch his first film Subway at work this week. It has a great opening scene and is a bit of a mess overall, the messiness of it being as much of a good thing as a bad thing. Also had to watch Amores Perros this week, hadn't seen it since it was new out, and barely remembered anything about it. It was OK was too long, and with hindsight/age it's easier to see the self-seriousness of his later films starting to take shape. Not bad but way too long, I remember liking it a lot more the first time.

In fact it is. The "Baron" is a cat statuette in an antique shop that inspires the main protagonist to write a fantasy story that involves the character. He is depicted in a beautifully animated dream/imagination-sequence. The idea was so well-received that a semi-spinoff (yup, The Cat Returns) was greenlit.

Nope, haven't seen it yet. Will do. Thanks for the info!
