It's not just the image quality... it's the density of the shots. It seems like every shot has details in the corner, on the sides, behind or in front of the main scene, details that directors with less OCD would have left out...

I finally got around to seeing Citizen Kane last night. It's an interesting film... in some ways, truly a masterpiece, but the pacing lagged a bit at times. Considering when it was made, it's no wonder it was considered such an achievement.
Overall, I still thought it was a good film, just a little harder to get into than some others.

I'm in love with it myself. And if you've not heard the Commentary - the Musical! track, that's worth the price of the DVD alone.Rigel wrote:Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog.

Just watched The Lost Boys. Definitely one of the better vampire movies I've seen.
I especially like the unrepentant evil of David & Co. It's a nice contrast to not just the Twilight movies, but the Rice ones as well (not that I dislike Ann Rice's work, I just think there's room for variety in life, and we don't need every new vampire movie to copy her just because she was successful).

Well, now that Pandorum has been swallowed, with no hope for escape, by my 5 DVD player and paid for we're back on the Netflix track having seen Letters to Juliet-quaint, Tuscany's nice too many pregnant pauses ("should I have my hair done?" "What am I doing here?" "Maybe I'll hit the gym...") and Eclipse for Tam and Grace. Thank goodness a movie I want to see is finally on it's way: The Fountain.

fall far and well Pilots!
The Fountain is a fantastic movie! Kind of hard to follow, the plot jumps across centuries three ways. But that didn't really bother me, I'm a Waking Life fan .
