lol yea thats how i've always described him--a better michael cera. I've liked cera's movies but its getting to the point where his act is wearing thin on me. That's kinda the reason why i avoided Scott Pilgrim for so long.

But, I saw Scott Pilgrim recently and now i know what all the hype's about. Cera was a little less Cera-y. Good movie!

With regards to the Eisenbergs sister--huh. How about that.

Saw the original "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw), and I've come to the conclusion that working for the NYC metro division in the mid-1970's would be my dream job. No dames, I can smoke, I can cuss, I can blame other people...all because I have a damn railroad to run.

Loved the movie.

So I was at a redbox & stumbled upon a movie called Stone starting DeNiro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovavich & was like why haven't I heard of this movie. Then I watched it & found out why I had never heard of it....complete garbage...well not complete but pretty close, it did show jovavich's [expletive] a few times.

Watched this German period piece called NordWand. (The North Face) Enjoyed it.


Based on true story in 1936 on the race to be first to climb north face of Eiger. The spectacle of the setting and era almost supercedes the movie. They have this ritzy hotel partway up opposite mountain and specatotors can watch the climbers via telescopes. Then they have a cog rail that takes you halfway up the inside of Eiger. The effects that puts them climbing on the mountain face with realism are pretty impressive. Thus - the DVD extras "making of.." are worth a watch too.

The Clint Eastwood movie Eiger Sanction was set there, and probably some Bond film action I am guessing.
Just saw that recently some cat climbed the North Face in under 3 hours. mind-blowing.

I watched Pan's Labrynth again. Two things, 1) my gf's television picture is not as good as I thought and b) del Toro is a terrific director and I need to see more of his films.

[manofkards]

Pan's Labrynth was outstanding. i saw it on the big screen and again on my home screen and recommend re-re-watching it on a good screen luke. seeing it on a really good (smaller) screen up close was even better then in the theatre in my opinion. and the barn digit scene was even more horrific up close.

just saw grand torino.......that was also good. and funny.

del Toro is amazing...the first del Toro movie I saw was "The Devil's Backbone" at the Tivoli 10 years ago...and have been following him ever since. I need to go back and watch "Mimic" and "Cronos".

[JL21]

Del Toro is a master of using really brilliant CGI without the story ever becoming about the CGI. The same applies to his non-CGI/other f/x films like "Devil's Backbone". He could've made the same movies with puppets and they'd still be great stories.
