February 2005 Archives

28 Constantine Films & TV
Other than through a handful of appearances in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and a couple of Neil Gaiman titles I'm not really familiar with the Hellblazer mythology, which makes me ineligible to judge Constantine from the point of view of...

17 House of Flying Daggers Films & TV
I'm beginning to get the hint that the martial arts cum tragic love story movie is a genre of Chinese cinema, what with Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Zhang Yimou's Hero and now Zhang's House of Flying Daggers. (Though...

14 Closer Films & TV
Great performances by all four stars. If I had to choose between them I'd say that Clive Owen just nudges ahead of Natalie Portman. but really there's not much between all of them, and I suspect I've only gone for...

14 Traffic (mini series) Films & TV
This six-hour (that's TV hours, each of which equals 44 real minutes) mini series has a similar structure as the same-titled Soderbergh movie though it is not as well executed. (I've not seen the original BBC mini series Traffik which...

14 The Village Films & TV
M. Night Shyamalan (hey, I spelled that right without checking!) has always been the master of tension, and The Village, though not his best work (still, and I suspect, always, The Sixth Sense), has long moments where you long for...

10 Man on Fire Films & TV
People at TBBS have raved over Dakota Fanning and having now seen Man on Fire I can see why. There is an intelligence behind her eyes that's very reminiscent of a young Jodie Foster. An old soul and prodigious talent...

07 Alien Resurrection (Special Edition) Films & TV
There are some good things about Alien Resurrection: I like the premise of cloning Ripley in order bring back the aliens, and visually it has some wonderful moments (such as Ripley sinking into the alien hive). But ultimately it just doesn't gel.

06 Opus Cactus - Momix Dance Theatre Theatre & music
Not much into dance but when I do see it prefer the modern to the classical. Opus Cactus by the Momix Dance Theatre was such a piece, and worth seeing. The first act segments were inspired by the desert; the...

05 Martin Guerre OLC Theatre & music
Been a few years since I listened to this. B&S seem to do their best work when mixing personal stories with epic historical events as their success with Les Miz and Miss Saigon demonstrate. Martin Guerre (which I've never seen...

05 The Game Films & TV
Saw this when it first came out and had very little memory of it except for the ending. This time I watched it knowing what to expect and with an eye of seeing if the twist was feasibly set up....

03 Pavlov's bells - state of the union 2005 World affairs
The third in a series begun here and continued here. The number of times President Bush used the word "free" or "freedom" in his 2005 state of the union address:a free and sovereign Iraq (The very first sentence uses the...
