Movies

Watched "Parfumer" yesterday. Although it's pretty long (2.18) - I wasn't even bored (as for example during V for Vendetta... jeez...). And I didn't think that the movie is worse than the book, as many use to say.

Watched "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". While it had the occasional cheap laugh, it was a really bad movie. And the fact that Kevin Smith has become reliant on following cliched Hollywood formulas, is somewhat sad. It's been 10 years since Smith has done a great movie (Dogma), and it's looking more and more like he's done.

Zod

NOTE: And on what planet does somewhat who looks like Seth Rogen get someone who looks like Elizabeth Banks?
 
I really liked Zack & Miri... not as much as some of Smith's earlier films, but perhaps that's because I don't think there was a character in it as iconic as Jay & Silent Bob. I would have loved to see more of Jason Mewes as Lester 'The Molester' - stole every scene he was in. I think the supposedly formulaic nature of the film may have been a reaction to criticism that Smith's other movies don't have a plot so much as they have characters delivering witty monologues - this one had some forward momentum (although it did sag dramatically after Zack moved out of Miri's apartment, but then again, in came Lester with his Dutch Rudder talk to inject some much-needed filthy levity into the proceedings). So, yeah, not my favourite Smith flick, but still far better than whatever lame shit Dane Cook is starring in lately.

I thought Mewes was a snooze in this. He can't play anything other than his Jay character convincingly and he is too old for Jay now.

Craig Robinson slayed as well as Gerry Bednob.

The problem with Smith is he sucks at getting convincing performances out of his actors. His stories and dialogue usually rule though.

Fucking amazing mate. They really nailed this adaptation. The only people who won't enjoy this are people who aren't familiar with the comic series. I was hit with shivers during the opening credits, and almost shed a tear of joy during scenes that were lifted word by word from the pen of Alan Moore. Rorscach's Journal: 05/06/08 Two thumbs Up! :kickass:
 
Seeing it in Imax tomorrow night. Wanted to do opening night, but I missed the rush for the pre-sale shit. Tonight sold out almost as quick. Nailed Saturday though.

Getting Imax tickets is a fucking battle of speed.
