16-22July2006 :: This Week

22July2006 [directLink] [weekly]
This item was changed on 23July2006

  • watched The Brothers Grimm; “I know this story”
  • watched 28 Days Later; a few too many conveniences at the end, but otherwise well told and tense
  • watched Cypher; the double-triple-cross spy story has been told numerous times before, but was very cool in a scifi setting; loved the 30s style too, complete with scotch and cigarettes and funky cinematography
  • watched Wicker Park; average thriller but well made
  • watched North Country
  • watched The Chronicles of Riddick; the Directors Cut is slightly better than the theatrical release, extending the universe a little; that very epic-ness is what makes it such a good movie anyway
  • watched Aeon Flux; average to stupid story, but interesting to see the old way-post-apocalyptic domed-city scifi being made with the FX we have now; hopefully someone stops playing with the FX and comes up with a decent story though
  • watched Serendipity; no comment

(Edit: added North Country; I knew I’d seen Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand in something else this week; they look better in Aeon Flux, but act better in the former)
