Magnificent.


I watched 50 Shades of Grey last night. Total garbage from start to finish. This movie has renewed my faith.

I love long boring movies. (Barry Lyndon for example). But Inception bored me to tears and I had my doubts about this one.

I was mesmerized from beginning to end.

All of the acting was good and I believed them to be their characters. The story has a few hurdles to suspend disbelief, one huge one. But I can live with that.

The instrumental score is haunting and forlorn. It is perfect. There are robots in the film that seem absurd at first but turn out to be exceptional characters.

I thought Gravity was a great movie and there are comparisons to be made, but the scope of Interstellar makes it a movie giant. Gravity is trying to save one woman, physically and spiritually. Interstellar is trying to save the future of humanity along with one man spiritually and physically.

I'm not sure how long I will wait for my second viewing. Months anyway. I have a lot to think about.

The LFE sure rattled my house to its foundations throughout but my EP800s performed effortlessly.

Interestingly, I've been reading elsewhere about Sub damage caused by this movie - mostly those who run their subs hot...

I liked 50 Shades a lot...or maybe it was the 420 herbal assist.

Great reviews, Chris!

Barry Lyndon is amazing, considering Ryan O'Neal is the star. It is so beautiful to look at, that it completely transcends the actors or even the story line.

I watched Barry Lyndon a couple years ago because someone I knew called it a cinematographer's wet dream.


He was totally right.

Yeah, no one makes Thackery into movies anymore. It's a shame. You made me go look. There IS a 2011 blu-ray edition. Cool.

Watched interstellar tonight. Speechless. Amazing.

I agree with your review lampy. There is a lot of stuff that comes out billed as scifi, but this one really is.

I Loved this movie. However, I did find that the very final scene felt just way too 'thrown in there'.



It just felt like the producer needed to add the extras in to satisfy his cranky wife who demanded a happy ending.

Hey, wadayawant? Its Hollywood. Without those happy sappy endings you get stuff like A Boy and his Dog.

I don't know what is more messed up. The plot summary or the fact it stars Don Johnson.
