The Majority of Minority Report:

[wednes]

I think by now I have waited too long to do an excellent review of Minority Report. Plus, I imagine that many of you have seen it by this point. But since I don't want to be responsible for Man_Bites_Dog and his basket weaving, I will sum up.

Minority Report was another action packed Tom Cruise joint. It also had Colin Farrel, Max Von Sydow, Samantha Morton, and that guy from the Practice I like, Steve Harris. It is directed by Senor Speilbergo and based on a short story by Philip K Dick.

Without giving away an major plot points, See This Film. There is a crazy, gruesome opening murder scene, and much action and suspense throughout. It's set in the future, which of course gives us the chance to see yet another interpretation of futuristic gadgets, products, and singing cereal boxes. And the cars, Roninesque crazy car scenes done in video-game style.

Surprisingly, there are lots of laughs. There is stuff that will shock you, make you mad...the whole bit. I heard that the ending was sappy and sucky. I dont' agree. No spoilers this time folks, leave your small children with the sitter and go see this film, if for no other reason than I said so.

Right on, I'm down, now I need to get some free time to see it. Oh and the other day I made a sweet ass basket. Picture the perfect basket and then multiply it by ten. Then stir in a little bit of hardcore and dash of badass and you're about halfway done picturing the marvel I produced yesterday. Hey you should see Dagon, it's pretty good, I thought. And I'm jazzed, we're getting the Dahmer movie next month. YEah, I just self hi fived myself, Werd.

I'm glad you're getting the Dahmer movie.

I am going to try and see Novocaine for my next movie review.

Do you do much talking at Zombieagogo?

I've never even heard or Zombieagogo. What is it? Novocaine is bad. I saw an advanced screening of it a few months ago and I was just glad I saw it for free. It does have some really funny parts to it but for the most part it is just bad. And the boom mike is in every other shot that's why I think I thought it was funny.

Whoa, that is too bad about Novocaine. I like Steve Martin very much. I guess I could always watch Man With Two Brains again.

Zombieagogo is an LJ group about horror movies. You should totally check it out.

Yeah, I heard "Novocaine" was bad too. That's why it was inandoutoftheatersjustlikethat. And thanks for the kick in the ass I need to see "Minority Report." Normally I shy away from science-fiction-ish films, but I know "MR" goes beyond that genre. It looks good.

Thanks, wednes

Ok. I was waffling (mmmm, waffles) on whether or not to see it because Philip K. Dick would be my only impetus. Well, and The Future.

But now I will see it!

Good!

hey, when will you be in our fair town...soon, no?

Tomorrow afternoon! (I've never been so excited to go back to Ann Arbor.)

But I will make a bigger splash on A2 the weekend of the 27th & 28th. Look for flashing lights.
