'YELLOW SUBMARINE'-- They have just re-released a fully restored and
beautiful looking new version of one of my alltime favorite movies, the
Beatles "Yellow Submarine" This was the first movie I can ever recal
seeing (my dad took me to see it at theater in 1968 when it came out, I
was almost five I think) This was back when the Beatles were like
supergods and I remember loud screaming of girls when the cartoon versions
of John, Paul, George, and Ringo were introduced on screen. The Beatles
are recruited by Sgt. Pepper to be in his Lonely Hearts Club Band and
travel to Pepperland aboard the Yellow Submarine to save the world from
the Blue Meanies. The psychedelic animation and the interspersing of live
action and animated shots is really something in this. And of course the
music including many Beatles classics, like "All You need is Love". "When
Im 64", "Nowhere Man", and a personal favorite, the title song, "Yellow
Submarine" This is a true 60's classic. The DVD has the widescreen
version, a making of documentary, plus you can index by song and just play
your favorites. **** (four stars...buy it, its a keeper!)

Also The Matrix has come out on DVD today. Some say it is the
movie that will drive people to buying DVD players.

Got Matrix?
I also loved "It's all too much", which is a masterpiece of
odered-seeming chaos, and appears only in _Yellow Submarine_ and it's
soundtrack, insofar as I've seen.

Its been reported of course that Keanu Reeves has signed to film not one
but two Matrix sequels back to back next year. They are to be filmed late
this year at the same time with the thought (and this is an interesting
idea) to release both Matrix II and III at the same time. This way
theater owners can play with your minds by not telling you which movie you
are seeing until you are in the theater, or they can switch the endings
around.

Robert Zemeckis did something like that for the filming of
"Back to the Future" II and III (filmed them at the same time
and then released them almost simultaneously..)

Not for another week. However, I had some computer shopping which that
prompted me to do.

Re #315: There were about 6 months between the release dates of BTF II and
III (11/22/89 and 5/25/90, according to the IMDB).

MICKEY BLUE EYES (C) - A hearty laugh or two, but
that's about all, despite the nice cast. The
story and pacing don't sustain your interest. The
directing seemed off the mark in many places: thirty
minutes in, it suddenly dawns on you what the movie's
been trying, clumsily, to make think this or that
character is supposed to be like. Hugh Grant is not
at his best.
200 CIGARETTES (B) - Something I read or heard put
me off about this movie when it was showing in the
theaters. It definitely has its moments, though, if
not its audience. It resembles a '90s teen party
flick in some ways -- think Can't Hardly Wait --
but the characters are mostly early '80s 20-somethings.
Several separate stories intertwine and converge.
Funny in places, touching in places, some stories work,
others fail. It's one of those movies you keep on
recasting it in your head, which is not a good sign.

ZARDOZ (C-) - I only rate this bad movie this high because it was a fun bad
movie.The plot was very confusing at times. Sean Connery probably regretted
starring in this one. Then again, maybe he liked running around in a red
loincloth throughout the whole film.

re resp:267 I had an amusing few seconds, thinking you were saying
that Philip Glass was stung to death by bees in a former life. It
would explain a lot. :)

re#320&322: Yeah. _Zardoz_ was way too kewl. And if you ever thought
about it rather meaningful as well. I especially liked the use of the
7th symphony as well as other classical music in the score.

Ugh. My friend has Zardoz on video and he loves it. We watched it one
night after the bar. Even with a mild buzz I can't say I enjoyed it.
And I usually would go for that sorta thing.

I think that Zardoz is not really a movie to enjoy,
but something more like a rite of passage.
Since we are talking of such old films, am I the only
person on earth who LIKED "Hudson Hawk" and "Big Times
in Little China"?

When I saw Hudson Hawk for the first time, in the theaters, I didn't
like it at all. I saw most of it again recently on late night cable,
and loved it.

That's "Big Trouble in Little China", and it's become one of my all-time
favorite movies. "Now I'm gonna tell you about an accident, and I don't wanna
hear 'Act of God'."

Cassia- you're not alone. I liked "Hudson Hawk" when I saw it in the
theater, and I really really like "Big Trouble in Little China."
Although, in the last big fight scene- try counting how many knives
Kurt Russell's character pulls out of his boot... It's amusing.

I liked Hudson Hawk when I watched it with a group of friends. As bad as it
was, Richard Grant played the role he was born to play.
I love "Big Trouble in Little China" and watch it whenever it's on. I just
love how the movie plays with the macho hero stereotype. Too bad they never
made the sequel.

Just saw "Strange Days" for the first time. (It came out in '95, and I
had meant to see it then but never got around to it.) *Very* cool.
Great story, with action, sci-fi, suspense and a little bit of romance
all rolled into one. The ending was a little predictable, but by that
point I had become so engrossed in the story that it didn't matter.
It takes place roughly three months from now, during the last two days
of 1999, which makes it all the more realistic. It's certainly worth
renting, and I wouldn't have felt at all disappointed had I paid to see
it in a theater.
