Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I watched "Sunshine" yesterday on Bluray and thought it was sort of meh. Like, it visually looked good, and the acting was good (Cillian Murphy still has beautiful eyes) but the last act of the movie went off in a bad bad direction after an amazingly cool and thought provoking setup.

That seems to be a running theme with Danny Boyle films. Two AMAZING first acts followed by a third one that makes you go... why WHY did you go there (see, for example, 28 Days Later and Trainspotting).

Though it was kinda cool to finally see something on profile 1.1 bluray (video-in-video) in the special features.
