Music & Movies

So true about the music! A great movie score is priceless.

That's so true! After I saw the Matrix, I went STRAIGHT to the local music store to pick up the soundtrack.

I just saw Ultra Violet. No poilers, but it's very heavy on the action and a bit short of plot. It was very pretty though. Does any one know if it was based on a video game?

i think i could've forgiven everything else that i didn't like about goblet of fire if it didn't have dumbledore randomly throttling people.

Bev: I don't believe so, though just a cursory look at the commercials makes me think it was plagerized heavily from Aeon Flux.

I think movies give another perspective of a story. And it benefits being somewhat different from the book (what is more boring than watching a film which replicates every single details from a book? In those cases, it's sure the book will always be better). Though, when the movie makes you learn new things about the story, complements the book, may it be with the soundtrack, visuals, characters, etc. than, it is when it works the best.

As for the Harry Potter's books, indeed, Dumbledore was too "human" in the goblet of fire. He shouldn't give so much hints of what he will become in the sixth book...

Bev: I didn't want to go see Ultra Violet, It looked cool up until the point int comercial when she just phases out and the sword or had passes right through her. I mean, that took all the zing out of it for me. Why does she need to fight and kill everyone and dodge bullets and swords when she can just phase and not get hurt.... its lame then.

I didn't read any reviews before I saw UV, but I'll warn you, there really was not much of a plot for me to give away. I am very dissapointed, because they could have made something cool out of it. It was pretty though. It should have been a video game.

If it isn't already, I'm sure it will be

And then it'll be a happy meal

Dear god...before I break down about that, a question: anyone here seen Neil Gaiman's "Mirrormask"? I was dying to, but because of the limited release, I couldn't get to a theater in time.
