The Fantastic Four are pathetic. Just goes to show that you just can’t have a movie with effects and no story. And excuse me? What’s with the 4 finger thing?
Hey, invisible girl, we need to get past them, please undress in public so you can go totally invisible and we can cut to the next scene where you dress yourself again. Thanks!
Stupid script, stupid dialogues, flat acting, OK effects and not enough super hero action. K, thanks, bye.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a nice popcorn flick. There is nothing much to it really. We get treated with a plain story, plain acting and lots of bullets being fired. It sure is fun to watch, sort of. Still, this is what I tend to call one of those 0bwfs (zero-brainwave flicks) you watch when your brain is on standby.
The explosions will keep you from falling asleep (not that the movie is boring, it isn’t – no really… well ok maybe a bit), and no, there are no nude scenes that would make the male audience drool – rated 15PG – but we get treated with some knifes hidden in interesting soft spots.
This is basically your 08/15 action movie with marriage counselling to boot.

Crash was one of the movies I was not in the mood for until yesterday. It is carefully constructed and sometimes with such filigrane elegance that you cannot help but appreciate it with a certain satisfaction. More than once it mirrors reality in a way that you want to distance yourself from it only to find yourself drawn deeper into the web of anger, mistrust, lies and racial paranoia as the story unfolds (albeit at times predictably so).
At the end we will have taken part in the lives of every day people, from petty thieves to desperate shopkeepers to honest working locksmiths and a prick as police officer, among others. And then there is also the “invisible bullet proof cloak” but it can only safe one – if you believe in fairies that is.

Come “Closer” and find out about a peculiar cupid’s work and how it impacts the cupid’s life and those close to him. Love can be lost as quickly as it can be found and sometimes love can be found in the most peculiar places under the most bizarre circumstances.
Will it last? Nothing will last no matter how close you get that is just the normal circle of life and change. The closer you get to the truth the more likely it is you lose what you have. Is knowing better than not knowing? Is true love strong enough to overcome the obstacles of obsessive truth seeking or is it not true love if it does not prevail?
Take a closer look and you might find out.

I don’t know why so many people flock to online services like flickr or blogger etc. it’s appalling. why? because it’s a sheep thing. Baaaa. Not even band waggon, just sheep. Man is so predictable and eskimoes will buy snowballs from that certain salesman that also sells you AOL as the best internet provider worldwide. Yeah right. Ignorance is bliss!
But hey, why should I care? Do your flickry flickr thing, it’s cool it’s hip, it’s new it’s fresh and in one year when everyone and their grandma is raving about the next greatest net invention it’s gonna be so old and stale that not even dust in an egyptian tomb can compete with it. Flickr for bugbase. Now there’s novel idea! Huzzah to that, glad there’s freedom of will.
What’s the point of this rant? None but another test, stab at whatever comes by! Cynical, ironic, bitter and sweet, a melody that gets stuck in your head forever, seducing like a siren’s song, so cliché but we do what we do whether it matters or not, who can say until the very end?
Or rather who wants to know? Superficial, circumstantial and ignorant with a touch of lemon. The sour taste in your mouth is the truth you just realized about yourself.
You are most welcome. Now where do I register for flickr…
