Haha, my good friend ATM I have still never watched Blade Runner...one of these days...

The most recent film I enjoyed was: Right Before Her Eyes.

Though some elements seemed a bit out of place the main was fantastically done. The acting was flawless.

One show I did not enjoy was: Spider.

This movie was so dreadfully paced that I actually viewed the entire video in 1.5 time. It did not even seem to impact the dialogue given the level to which it was drawn out. The sad thing about this film is that it had some real potential: all of the scenes relating to Spider's youth were well done and interesting, but in portraying his adult life and its schizophrenic tendencies the audience is forced to die a slow and painful death of a 1000 boredoms as he accomplishes nothing and mumbles and writes about nothing.

The really sad thing is that the cast, writer, and producer were apparently so enamored with the story that they decided to proceed with production even though they had not secured sufficient financing. As of the date of the DVD release none of them had yet been paid...? They termed it a labor of love...well in watching it one can certainly agree with the labor aspect...

Movie trailers could be so much better.

For instance, in Star Wars, the opening crawl tells of the first victory by the Rebel Alliance, yet the film begins after this presumably exciting battle. What if the trailer for Star Wars was simply this battle, edited to around two minutes in length? The film would remain the same, except that it now has a cool deleted scene that adds to the story instead of ruining bits of it beforehand.

 This is a great idea...
