Ghost in the shell 2 Innocence

Damn!! I realy like the first part, a good ci-fi film that talk about at the classic topics of this genere, the repercusions of human cience in our lifes, the lost of humanity in the future etc....

This second part only works on a visual level, shows the best animated tecnics I 've seen by far. But the problem was the story, Oshii wanted to tell a story only with images, so the main plot it's completly secondary. Otherwise all the characters talks like they had studied philosophy at the University, always makin references to the Bible, Confuncio, Sartre....It works sometimes but most of times was shilly (Man two police man talkin' about the meaning of life during the investigation of a murder....).

It's not a bad film but it could be better if Oshii try to tell a story with "real" characters and left in a second plane all the philosophical implications.

6/10

La Fin Absolue de Monde

Brilliant little film. If you haven't gotten a chance to see this indie, hunt it down. Carpenter does a brilliant job directing (one of his lesser known movies) and it almost feels like a tribute to Profondo Rosso. Watch this movie; it'll change your life. 10/10

By "La Fin Absolue de Monde" do you mean the episode of Masters of Horror entitled "Cigarette Burns"? Or did he direct an actual film as well?

Yeah, the episode. I was drunk and fucking around. The episode "Cigarette Burns" was awesome, though.

Godzilla Vs. Gigan

*Spoilers, though there really isn't much to spoil.*

What can you expect from any of these old Godzilla flicks? This is exactly what you'd think it would be: cheesy, stupid, and actually kind of fun in a so-bad-its-funny way.

Most, if not all, films like this have terrible dubbing. It's a fact of life. However, this movie quite possibly has some of the worst I've ever seen. Most of the lines don't match their facial expressions in the least, and I found it quite hilarious. The actors doing the dubbing were pretty brutal as well, but what would you expect? The plot is beyond cheesy. Turns out some cockroaches from space have destroyed their home planet, and now they want to take over ours. So they summon some space monsters to wipe out Tokyo, only they are soon foiled by Godzilla and Angilas. There is also a group of people trying to figure out what's going on, but nobody really cares about them. I don't think I really need to say anything else about the plot, it speaks for itself.

When it comes down to it, this is an awful movie. The so-bad-its-good factor earns it a few points, but it's pretty bad nonetheless.

5/10

Fun poke at film noir movies, with great performances from both Val Kilmer & Robert Downey.

Highway To Hell (1992)
I actually enjoyed it. But to be honest, I wasn't soley paying attention to only it. And I didn't watch it start-to-end. Missed the first 15 or so minutes... okay, so I shouldn't even be stating my opinion. Whatever.

Jacob's Ladder tonight.
