Melting Pot

Ok, been out of it for a while now... Without going into the details of my disappearing from both my blogs and the virtual felt (see unexisting posts on Towers of Checks :P), let's just say I'm a guy in love and well, chick >>>> pretty much everything these days :P...

But still, I've been watching (or "watching" :o)) movies a bit, but didn't post anything about them in here... Will do now in a somewhat telegraphic style...

First of, and I'm still hoping to catch it again on the silver screen; then I'll write a real piece: WATCHMEN
Great adaptation imo. What's been modified was done with class and cinema in mind, which is perfect. Most probably a quote around 3.5~4.0. To be continued...

Then there was:
BORDELINE
Isabelle Blais ftw! Et Jean-Hughes (Anglade), qui m'a rappelé Killing Zoe avec ce rôle, pour aucune bonne raison semble-t-il (still trying to figure that one as a matter of fact)... ~4.5.

CONTRE TOUTE ESPERANCE
Hmmm un solide mélo, porté par ses acteurs, un peu comme c'est souvent le cas avec la cinématographie québécoise. Décent effort. ~5.2

SEX DRIVE - UNCENSORED
God that was dumb... American Pie meets Road Trip, without the savvy or the irony... Meh. Seth Green as a whimsical Hamish was a nice touch though. ~5.5

QUANTUM OF SOLACE
That new Bond is... weird, definitely. Doesn't even shag Olga... Seriously, wtf?!?! Still, the physical take they put on this revised 007 is somewhat nice, even though I do miss Q's gadgets. ~5.5

RELIGULOUS
Pretty funny, but not as deep as I would have liked... Still interesting to see an open-minded atheist confronting fundamentalists... That fscking Creationist Museum still tilts the shit out of me... Guess the fscking Flinstones were right on the money... lol! ~4.3

And I started Firefly, the series. Whoa! Space Western FTFW!!!!!

I think that covers everything... If not, well, too bad :P...
