Re: movies
I liked Super 8 quite a bit. Mesrine was also pretty good. Animal Kingdom was awful.

It seems like 'Steven Soderbergh' has to be the lead, but they're marketing that movie like it's the next John Cena movie or something. Maybe they think Soderbergh's fans will be on board anyway? Still...

Re: movies
Yeah, the advertising has been odd. You're right about the John Cena thing. Very much a direct-to-dvd kind of feel to the first times I saw the trailers (coincidentally wow, during UFC PPVs showing at work). Then I heard some bit about how it was well-received at some early screening. I feel like they changed the trailers a little, showed more of the A-list supporting cast, and mentioned Soderbergh more.
I am actually probably going to go to see Haywire in a damn theater if the reviews are as highly positive as the first twelve on RT have been. Certainly wouldn't have expected to say that a month or two back.

Finally got around to watching Sunshine.
Little-known sci-fi flick involving a ship trying to fly to the middle of the sun to blow itself up and make the sun all bright and shiny again.
Anyway, it was one interesting film. Don't read any more plot summaries or it might give something away; suffice to say, it's really intense. Some pretty awesome visuals, so it's well worth it to check out if you can find the blu-ray.

Re: movies
I saw it last year. I'd compare it to "The Core," except much better. That's not saying its the greatest thing ever, but its a solid, entertaining film if you like science fiction.Maclowery wrote:Finally got around to watching Sunshine.

I liked the movie up until it tried to be Event Horizon.Maclowery wrote:Finally got around to watching Sunshine.

another movie that wasn't able to stick the landing. The soundtrack is excellent, though.

Yeah regarding Sunshine, ithe first 2/3s was so so good, then some WTF'ing for a half hour.
Also watched In Bruges, which was really fun. Half comedy half crime drama with a lot of entertaiming characters.
