Lounge of Tomorrow - Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Saw Hellboy II last night. Not particularly deep, but it was highly entertaining. There's a very Star Wars feel to it, only done better than the trailer they showed for the new SW movie.

Faint praise indeed.

Saw Mama Mia with CoasterMatt - enjoyed it. It's flawed but has great music. Weird to see James Bond singing. The direction is really terrible, though, which is a shame seeing as the great location they have. Some moments you groan and some are really fantastic.

I didn't mean the movie was bad- it wasn't. It was fun. I did notice a Star Wars feel to it, which was interesting.

The trailer for the new Star Wars, though, was awful. Maybe showing the trailer was why I felt the SW vibe in Hellboy. The new SW movie is animated and I am heartbroken. It looks horrid. Not to mention out of place in the series.

I agree that the new Star Wars film looks hopelessly dull and awful. Hellboy looks awesome from the trailers, but I doubt I'll get to it very soon. My movie budget this month will allow me to see Dark Knight and that's about it.

I liked Hellboy II more than The Dark Knight.

Tracking the Bullitt (car chase)

Found this today, was not sure where to put it, sooooooo MMM is where it lands.

A cool video, side by side comparison of the car chase from Bullitt (THE car chase) and the actual locations used in San Francisco.

View it here

Much like the slow, meandering car chase of Vertigo, it moves around a fair bit. But this is pretty cool!

makes me want to add Bullitt to the netflix queue, I think I will!

I, too, saw it with CoasterMatt. Thank you, sir. :)

You know, I completely agree with Bornieo on Mamma Mia!

Meryl Streep is wonderful. But at certain moments, even she couldn't save a couple of scenes she was in.

There are some really fun moments, but Act I was just a huge, rushed mess. Also, the cast screamed to much during this film. I understand that it was camp, but there's a way to successfully do camp. ie. Strictly Ballroom.

The scenery is amazingly beautiful.
