blade runner (1982): i was expecting this to be as bad as thx 1138 or dune, but i could actually sit through this one at least. its a very visual movie but has next to nothing plot-wise. its about a guy going after a few killers. so what? they throw in the fact that they are not really human. okay then, he is going after a few non-human killers. end of story. technically, this movie excels in sound, music, fx, art design, and cinematography. but the story is boring, pace is slow, its confusing at a number of times, hard to pick up on all the famous little ambiguities scott throws in such as if harrison ford is really human or not. yeah, i must have blinked at the wrong spot because i totally missed that one. great for its time with all the moral issues, but the average movie watcher today wouldn’t use this dvd as a coaster. don’t see.

amelie (2001): visually wonderful and extremely witty. this movie has been calling my name for years every time i’d see the dvd on a shelf somewhere. it is such a sweet little movie and the entire cast is so real. i would like to believe that these are the norm for movies over in france, and if that’s the case i’m on a one way ticket over. audrey tautou (amelie) is so perfect and beautiful and believable in this movie. granted this came out 4 years ago, but i guarantee she’ll be a household name in the next few years over here in the states. its another movie with subtitles but don’t grumble because like all movies with them, you hardly notice they are there after the first 10 minutes. for some reason i can’t say its worth buying. it is a little slow at points so that is probably why. i’m going to put it on my back up list to buy though, so over time i will own this movie. the message they are saying is wonderful and everyone should at least see it once. cute date movie for all your saps out there, myself included.

started working on more internship crap. lets just say i'm praying for me to get the one in dc this fall. went to my doc today and it actually went really, really well. he came up with some amazing ideas. i hope i can remember them all. i guess he does deserve all that money they pay him. so we'll see if some of this stuff works. other than that, life is the same.
