Interstellar

interstellarWhile I loved all the visuals, and some elements of the story. The whole “love conquers all” angle really brought this down a few notches. Seriously? These people just need to get over themselves.

Also, the whole thing about flying into a black hole was frankly stupid. You know what happens if you fly into a black hole? You get ripped to pieces by the gravitational forces before you even get close. Stuff like this makes me a little angry – we wonder why the general public is so uninformed about science? It’s partly because of crap like this. While I don’t expect every movie to be a science lesson, they could at least try to not get it exactly wrong. I mean, the writers are just making up crap because they’re ignorant. Imagine they made a movie about surgery, and simply invented body parts with magical properties – it’d sound ridiculous. Just because most people don’t know squat about black holes doesn’t make it any different. They could have made a very similar plot without all the black hole nonsense.

The Dark Knight Rises

the-dark-knight-risesWhile this movie was good on a number of levels – mostly that it just looked good. I start to wonder – just how many superlatives can they come up with? The bad guy can’t just be “bad”, he has to be the most formidable evil person on the planet, with a secret history that ties everything together, and, and, and… Enough already. Ya, sure… Bane is a bad dude. But don’t try to explain him with logic and a mysterious complicated back story. This is a comic book after all, characters like him are sometimes better shallow.

Becoming Jane

Did you ever wish you could go back in time and just smack someone in the face? Just shake everyone to get them to snap out of their stupid societal constraints? I wonder if people from the future will feel the same about us? Anyway, as for this movie… it was entertaining, well structured, and left me feeling good about life in general… so that’s good I suppose.
