Couldn't sleep last night, so I had a movie fest of my own. If you don't feel like reading all the guano I'll dump all over this page, feel free to skip to the next post-
1) "Marooned"- 2hrs and then some of rather boring stuck in space stuff. I was rather disappointed. The technical details were impressive to say the least, but for that I could visit NASA/ESA pages and browse through even more impressive and up to date stuff that exceed in most parts what was back then - when this movie was shot - a sci-fi. The director was, simply put, overrun by all the technical aspects that needed addressing so the story would hold any water, that the basic dramatization suffered big time. Way too predictable for the "what could really happen one day" "disaster in space" movie. For tech freaks and insomniacs only!
2) "Torchwood, EP8"- My favorite part so far and it brings the potential to elegantly lose some of the main problems in it- Capt. Jack Harkness' constant and mostly totally inappropriate smirk and Gwen Cooper's over-exaggerated seriousness and emotional break-downs. Who knows, perhaps writers had a little crush between them in minds? God, I hope not, I wouldn't write it here if I did! It's more mature oriented series anyways so why not go with a really rough sex scene instead of some canoodling? C'mon guys, let us show you have balls and not :pakopako:
3) "Heroes, EP11"- This part explains a lot what actually happened beforehand and produces even more pieces of a puzzle to be put together in a next few episodes. Nice show, just hope it doesn't get all "Lost".
4) "Screamers"- Well, I never screamed and returned to Earth safely. This was my second time watching this movie and I can't help thinking what it could have been if it was shot on a better budget. Is it just me or does anybody else think the lead role in this flick was made for "Ed Harris"?
5) "The Black Dahlia"- This one finally put me to sleep so I can't tell if it was any good. It must have had really dark scenes in it because I didn't turn the screen off and it never bothered me until it switched off on a timer.
So there you have it, you can stop fast-scrolling the mouse wheel now.
P.S.: Next time you have trouble sleeping watch 3 eps of "BSG" in a row. You'll fall asleep within minutes and even have trouble getting up the next day- your brain will hurt so much. Reminds me of some pyramid scams that were all based on the principle of brain-washing. Which reminds me-- Don't they play "the pyramid" in it?
Yep, the third HP incarnation was watchable, the fourth should be incinerated and never mentioned again.
