Deep Sea (2006)
An outstanding 3d look at the world of the Deep Sea.
I went with my boyfriend to go see this opening night and I must confess I had been waiting for this movie to come out in IMAX for literally months. I am in love with ocean-life, specifically sharks. I must also must confess that I have probably seen more movies at the IMAX than in a regular movie theater. The only one not a documentary was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So to say the least I had very high hopes for this film. When I discovered the narrators were Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, they got even higher. Then when I discovered that Danny Elfman did the music and David Forsyth was on camera I knew it would be magic. I was not disappointed. It starts with the coral reefs and the homes of the animals and it quickly it becomes incredibly easy to lose yourself within the movie, however you feel like you are losing yourself in the ocean. You explore the life inside the reef and listen to how they all work together and you almost become proud of the life and animal community there. It moves seamlessly from the reef to the open ocean and you begin to see the most amazing footage ever caught on film. From the creatures that you are familiar with, like the shrimp and squid to the fishes and jellyfish that your mind is stunned by because they are like nothing you expect or can dream up. It is a trip and education that you'll never be able to have anywhere else unless you are diving in the ocean. I had my mouth open in awe for much of this film. The camera shots, the narration, the music is a beautiful package. There were times I actually felt like I wanted to cry, because of the absolute magificance of the filming and the subjects of the film. I do have one complaint though. It was over way too soon!
Crash (2004)
A collective view of what common people are capable of when in their worst moments and when confronted with racist situations. Superb acting
Acting, writing and directing in this movie is exceptional. If there was a rating of more than ten on here I would have chosen it instead of ten. A very honest and gut wrenching look at society and how we react to other races in common situations. Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard and many others are so good in their respective roles that you become each of them in each scene. I really don't think any of the actors or any of the writing could have been any better than it was. Crash is one of those movies that everyone should see. The writers and the directors give each scene and situation such obvious tender loving care you feel as if you could be witnessing the scene downtown. I did esp since I lived in Los Angeles most of my life. They present you with separate and amazingly real story lines and throughoout the movie then they present you with a beautifully woven and whole story that touches every fiber of your being by the end of the movie and you are left wondering how they did such a good job. When this movie was over I sat and just thought about all of the different situations that they wrote into this script and I couldn't come up with one that I couldn't identify with in a good or bad way. I'd be curious to know if they filmed different endings for each "segment/story" and why they decided on what they did, however they did it, it got my vote!!
If this movie is passed over for an Oscar I may never watch the Academy Awards again. I believe it deserves best picture but I will settle for some individual actor awards, or screenplay awards. This movie was several hundred strokes of genius. It made me cry, it made my heart get stuck in my throat and it made me enraged and it did all of this without the melodrama that so many movies stoop to.
Terminal Error (2002)
please capt. beam me out of this movie
OK. I like Marina too . I wanted to give this more, but my brain hurt from the assault on my intelligence. Maybe it hurt so much cause I work in computers and know how impossible this all is.it's like a bad gas station puts gas in cars and makes them jump and fly into a mountain at 200 miles an hour. But hey Marina is still cute and I hope she gets better work then this, I gave an extra point for her.glad she got into "Crash" this was axially a good movie. although this was made in 2002 I thought it would be in the late 1980's. before a lot was known about computers by the general public. computers cannot adjust your power circuits in your house or make your TV fry. "Tron" was a movie in the late 80's which was almost as corny and stupid. but I would give it a 5 for entertainment and forgiveness from the time it was written. but this movie do sen't warranty the ten lines they wanted me to write so I had to include other movies. That is all.
