Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I actually like the current commercial for 2012. It's an ad for a group called the Institute for Human Continuity. Except for a couple of random shots included in the commercial and the "this film is not rated" caption at the end, you can't tell it's really a trailer for 2012. It's clever. Kinda reminds me of the T2 attraction at Universal or Total Recall or something. Neat! The website for the film is theihc.com, it's neat too.

I had a chance to see Adam a few days ago - going into it, I knew that I was going to compare it to 500 Days of Summer. With that said, I didn't think that Adam was as good as 500 Days. AFAIK, Adam is the first movie that explicitly deals with Asperger's syndrome... but yet, it didn't do much with it and it certainly did not resonate with me. It's very funny at times but also heavy-handed at others.

I would recommend at least a rental for Hugh Dancy's performance. Just ignore Rose Byrne.
