Knowing Movie
Posted by Mike | Filed under Movies
I got a chance to watch the movie Knowing with Nicholas Cage. The thing I was thinking throughout the entire movie was that it wasn’t a bad movie, but it wasn’t the greatest. Not to mention the fact that they really don’t explain very much. It was clearly written by someone who never has had children, because of the reactions of the characters. It was until about 20 minutes left in the film until it finally hit me how dumb this movie was.
SPOILER ALERT
When the movie has finally gotten to the point where Nicolas Cage’s character has arrived at the coordinates that he was supposed to, you find out that aliens were involved. Its as if they are this automatic goto when you don’t know how to end a movie and you’re a horrible writer. If you ever have a chance to hire the guy who wrote this, don’t… or better yet, do and then fire him a few hours later for being a horrible writer.
Its very rare that I don’t enjoy a film, so this film definitely deserves a 4/10 score (and I’m trying to be generous).

Sherlock Holmes
Posted by Mike | Filed under Movies
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law make a great Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The two work beautifully together, and help draw you in to the world of Sherlock Holmes. While I’m not sure how true the movies stays to the actual books, but the movie was good enough. Its not something that I would rush out to see, but if you have nothing better to do Sherlock Holmes isn’t a bad bet.

I came across this awesome short CG movie that is available on Youtube, or take a look below:
I am always extremely impressed with the quality of indie developed items fully available on the internet for free. Good ol’ power of the internet, free distribution to the masses.

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
Posted by Mike | Filed under Movies
Where is he? Well Morgan Spurlock, the guy behind Supersize Me, has put out another great Documentary about finding Osama Bin Laden. If you’re one of those people who’ll “wait for the movie” before reading the book (in this case the news) then I suggest this film. Travelling to several different locations, Spurlock has some interesting encounters and conversations with people to help find Osama Bin Laden. If you like documentaries that address political issues and pre-consumptions, this will be a good film for you.
