another week of this
Its been a relatively boring week for me. I have seen a few movies and since i dont have work commitments at the momen im quickly running out of cheap things to keep me interested. I should be getting back into more of my animation stuff but its been a bit of a lul this week and i really should get a job. But i have a few more ideas i need to work through and should start again on my tests.
As i just mentioned i have seen a few good movies recently an one of them was 'sin city'. This movie has got to be the best movie i have seen all year easily surpassing start wars which i thought was a 'save the series' epidemic to finally bring the end of the trilogies of trilogies, ie start wars, lotr and matrix. So out of the three trilogies this has got to be the best of the final episodes. Anyway back to 'sin city'. Its a movie version of frank millers comic books and as a rule of thumb comic book movies generally suck but this was quite good. As its simple to see why its successful in comparison to other comic movies. 1. Frank miller co directed it. 2. It remains consistent with the original layout of the comic beig black and white with elements of colour. 3. Its was made arty and although its all cast was filled with stars it seems that the emphasis was on the style of the film rather than 'lets make some cool effects with cg' and sell it to a mass audience. This film should definitely not be watched by the kind hearted. Its extremely violent but very well made.
Just though that if id mention 'sin city' then i shoul dmention some of the other great films that i have watched recently. 'Avalon' directed by the same guy as akira, i know his name but i just cant spell it sorry. 'Garden state', 'my wife is a gangster', and heaps others, damn pay tv.
oh and while im on a reviewy kinda post i should mention some cool music atm, amerie with '1 thing', love this song, 'midas touch' by 'boards of canada' but its a remix so im not sure who did the remix, the veronicas '4 ever' thats a cool song too.
cheers
