We studied Cast Away in my psycology class last term. It was actually a really good movie to study for that class, so many good examples of stuff.

Good movie.

Boy, iSm and I have such differing tastes in movies. I don't have the energy to get into it tonight but I really, really hated 'Cast Away'. Now, I know iSm is going to give me a lashing for it, but the truth must be told.

Yep. It's called Film Noir! :D

Is that the prequel to Snakes on a Plane?


Oh Damn Me!

Hooray for Snakes on a Plane!

GC, you'll get no lashing from me ... (well, not for your poor movie taste anyway) :D


A lot of people have trouble with Cast Away. It's too slow for some. It comes off crass and cumbersome to others. It's got a weird structure and an unusual tone that many people don't take to.

I am at a personal loss to see where anyone could not find at least the surface story compelling - - the classic tale of man on desert island told more truly and stylishly than any previous attempt. Yet many people don't even find it a good adventure film, much less chock full of psychological, spiritual and emotional resonance.


The film is sublime. I feel nothing but sadness for those who just don't get it.

We interrupt this serious debate about the merits of a serious film to bring you mindless woo-hooing about what is surely a stupid movie with an even stupider name.

So, before I decided what I was going to watch tonight, I turned on the TV while I was eating dinner. I'm watching Big.

It's a Tom Hanks kind-of week.

However, my fav is Philadelphia.
