On Sunday I saw Religilous and Zack and Miri make a Porno.
Religilous
I'm a bit ambivalent about this movie. On the one side I found it funny, and it had some good points, on the other hand I find it really offensive. The title kind of says it all, it's a mix between the words "religion" and "ridiculous".
It was a good documentary, Bill Maher had made his research and all, and he made some great points. Like the way many pre-Christ religious myths has all the exact same traits as the Christ-myth.
But then he in the last 20 minutes of the film he went on to say that we should rid ourselves of all religion, because it is all bad, and it will be our doom. This I found offensive. Not because I'm religious, because I'm not. I found it offensive because I have seen with my very own eyes the way religion helps many people. I don't really like organized religion, or any of the many monstrous things that some people do in the name of religion. I loathe people that push their religion on other people, just because it's helps you, does not mean I'm interested. But the world is a very cruddy place, and for some people the only way to get through the cruddy times is to believe that a bigger being has a plan for them, and that when it ends they are going to a better place. I think that is a good thing. And not for themselves, when someone is sick or dies it helps some people to believe that when their sick loved ones pass on they will have it better where ever they go. How on earth is that a bad thing?
So if you feel like being provoked I would recommend this documentary. Actually you should see it anyway, it has some really great points, and if you don't care to be provoked you don't have to see the last 20 minutes.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
First of: This is not a childrens movie. It has boobs and sex in it. So noone under the agelimit for this one.
But a great movie. Really funny. I want this on DVD!!!
It's about Zack and Miri who are best friends, and roomsmates, and who are broke. So decide to make a porno movie to raise some money, and all that entailsXD
One of the things I absolutely loved was that both Traci Lords (who played Bubbles) and Katie Morgan (why played Stacey) used to play in actual porn movies.
Oh my, this sounds a bit like a dirty movie doesn't it? That wasn't supposed to happenXP
It's actually a really sweet romantic comedy. (But if you are offended by bare boobs, this one is not for you=j)
On monday there was Café Isobe and RocknRolla.

Café Isobe
This was a really sweet movie. A bit wierd at times, but what movie isn't, ne?
It was about Sakiko and her father who opens a café. They hire waitresses, one of which the father gets a crush on. Actually kit wasn't really about anything, there was just a few people and a café, but it was good anyway. Reminded me a tad about Shunji Iwai's movies. Just really cute=D
(I could not find a trailer for this one. Swowy=j)

RocknRolla
Could have been shorter, but it was perfectly fine. It's apperantly the first movie in a triology, and you can kind of tell. Guy Ritchie spends most of the movie mapping out the characthers, and there really isn't much of a story. But it was a cool movie. It was never boring, not really, just a bit long. Thadie Newton was awesome.
Tuesday (i.e. yesterday) I saw Parkin and Sword of the Stranger.

Parking
It's supposed to be a comedy, but I would not call it that. Apart from a few gag elements it wasn't really funny.
It's about Chen Mo who keeps getting parked in, and isn't able to get home. There's a lot of little subplots that really did not make all that much sense to me. It came over as little messy, and most of the sideplots were really disconnected and seemed sort of redudant.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either.

Sword of the Stranger
It was a great animemovie, really detailed. But I had the same issue with this one as I have with many animemovies, I kapt feeling there was more story, story the didn't tell us, but that I wanted to know. Like why Kotaro's blood had those magic qualities, and the full story behind NoName. I kept thinking it was based on a book or manga, but ofcourse I couldn't find anything about it, so it seems it isn't.
It was a great movie, the animation was great, and it had a great story, I really enjoyed it=D
