Artificial Intelligence

Humanity does not take responsibility for its own action. The movie AI: Artificial Intelligence shows just that. This movie represents a struggle between different races; in this case mechanical beings verse human beings.

This struggle is common in every era. It happens when a minority approaches the numerical value of the majority, and the majority is afraid of the power loss that shall possibly incur, so it annihilates the minority while it can, often suffering severe loss of life themselves.

Matrix Reloaded

I first saw this with Daniel when we were dating; it was our first movie we saw together. We both didn’t really like it, but as with most things with me, it takes time for me to gain appreciation for them, I didn’t like it because it was too far from the first move and Dan I just found out didn’t like it because he never saw the first. However I just realized that most movies show only the parts of the story which have the most action. The Matrix Reloaded still has the cast plus some. It is a continuation of the story, however I believe if they went into a brief history of what happened between the original and this one , many more people would like it.

Neo and Trinity got married, which the first one led up to. This movie takes place in Zion more. Neo is talking with the Oracle more and she plays a bigger more important role.

Wanted

This movie was excellent. It was a fast passed action thriller that had Matrix special effects. It was about this regular guy who hated his job, hated his best friend because he was making love to his girl friend, hated pretty much everything in his life.

He got recruited by The League of Shadows, which was also in Batman, on the false information that his father was killed. He ended up killing his father and was pissed immensely. The movie ended with the whole group committing suicide, except for the leader and the main character. The leader made one final attempt to kill himbut the guy killed the leader by putting a decoy in his work.

Matrix

This is one of my favorite movies. It may be because I feel the same way about corperate America. It is too structured for me. Thank god I don't have to go to an office everyday, I really pity those that have to. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the people in corporate America I dislike their decisions and the way it infringes on their freedoms to do more pleasurable things with their time, let alone their lives. Being stuck behind a desk is no way to spend any of our limited time here on this beautiful planet earth.

Eddie

Eddie was a great movie. Whoopi Goldberg again did a remarkable job in the role of Eddie; it was an extremely tough part I am sure. She always plays those tough characters you can’t help but love. It is a shame that she is not acting in movies any more.

Anyways, the movie was about the New York Knicks, and this new coach Eddie.

The Knicks were on a losing streak, so they hired Eddie. She kicked them into shape. She learned about the players and helped them with their problems which eventually turned the team around, because when you learn more about something it is more likely to improve, then when you don’t know a thing about it. She helped the team overcome their losing streak and even prevented the sale of the team.

Walle

Today we saw Walle with Eric Petusky. It was a very good movie. It was about this robot whose job it was to clean earth after all the human junked it up till it was sustainable for life again. Meanwhile all the humans were traveling on a ship around space. They were in the ship for about 300 years.

Walle found a living plant so they could return. Except the ship was fully automated and told not to return. So there was a real struggle to get it to return. Walle was almost destroyed in the process but he survived—of course, since it was Disney. But he found love, which brings up another point, that robots will eventually be able to feel emotions and experience love as well as all others.

It touched on a whole lot of themes relevant from today’s world.
One of the major themes was the aspect of pollution and litter. It showed if we aren’t careful the planet may become a landfill. It had trash all over and Walle‘s job was to organize it and look for signs of life.

That led into the theme of greed. It showed it by the effect of the stuff humanity threw away they really didn’t need or want. Also the fact of corporate greed was apparent in the fact of the ship being so luxurious. This was ironic because even when the captain wanted to go back to earth because it was able to sustain life, he had to fight with the computer, because it was programmed not to go back.
That was what led to the obesity theme. The people on board didn’t have to lift a finger for sustenance. Everything was served to them from a silver platter, on call when they wanted. This created major obesity amongst the passengers and even the captain, not to mention laziness. They had robots even make sure they stayed in their seats. They felt like prisoners.

The theme of love was also apparent. Not only with Walle and his friend, but the fact that humans fought to get back to earth to build their home again. They risked their lives and all. They did so by going to earth when they didn’t know if it was safe.

Also it touched on how the news media is blowing things way out of proportion and magnifying the world obesity situation which leads to hunger as well. Think about it, a company that had the acronym DNN and it was the enemy. It programmed the ship to stay out in space and hold everyone hostage if Earth became habitable again. DNN looks like CNN to me. So I think everyone shouldn’t live around the depressing news so much and have some fun and get exercise. Who knows maybe you’ll like it? Be as care free as children, there isn't any law that states adults have to work for so long and then they can rest.

Shutter

We just saw Shutter. We got it from Superfresh. It was a suspenseful thriller, starring the cutie from Free Willy, Joshua Jackson. In this movie he was a photographer at a Magazine.
Two of his friends raped this Japanese girl because she was obsessed with him, and wouldn’t leave him alone. These two friends died 10 year later. They committed suicide because the ghost of that girl was driving them crazy.
In many of the pictures Joshua was taking you could see spirits. They were leading them to the rape of that girl.

Revolutionary Road

Revolutionary Road starred Leonardo DiCapreo along with Kate Winslet starring in it, similar to Titanic. This time Kate died instead of Leonardo because of tension in the marriage between them, because of an accidental self given abortion.

One Missed Call

It was a combination of Scream and Final Destination. It was about a cell phone that called people and they heard their death and then they died. A father who killed himself because his wife and daughter were driving him crazy was the start of the crazy phone calls.

Men in Black II

I saw this while Dan was out on a date. It was a good movie. It had the two agents from the first, agent K and Agent J; they had to save the world again. Will Smith was agent J and Tommy L Jones was agent K. Agent K’s memory which was erased at the end of the first movie was working at a Postal Office. He was working with aliens unbeknownst to him. He loved space for some idea also.

He had to recover his memories again. He recovered them when agent J was in real trouble and almost dead. J girl friend was the person who saved the world because K made a similar mistake 20 years earlier and was in love with a girl that started a galactic war.

Golden Compass

Today we saw, The Golden Compass. It was a real good movie. It was about alternate realities. It was about a mischievous girl, who ended up saving the world. It had a talking Polar Bear who was a warrior, but was working at a restaurant, because he lost his armor. The girl told him where it was and he fought for the polar bear throne and won. Then he helped the girl defeat her advisory.

Ghost Town

We just saw the Movie Ghost Town. Daniel and I both liked it. It was about a dentist who died for about 8 minutes during an operation, because he wanted to be put under. After he got back to life he could see the dead.

At first he didn’t like seeing the dead, but they kept coming and coming. His work-mate then called him a prick. That changed him and he started helping the spirits that were stuck. He helped them by helping the loved ones of the ghost let the spirits go. And he also found true love. So everyone won.

The Eye

Today we saw the Eye On Demand. It was a psychological thriller. It was with Jessica Alba. She played a character that got an eye transplant. The eyes she got belonged to someone who had which-like abilities and premonitions of evil occurrences. This made her be terrorized by visions of horrible occurrences of the past.

The Color of Friendship

I just watched the “Color of Friendship.” It was fantastic.
It was about a student exchange program exchange of a white girl from South Africa to a black family in the US.

Before the exchange took place the white girl had this black woman who took care of her and the house. They were talking about this bird. The bird naturally lived in a community of others, different colored birds, however the same species. They lived in harmony together.

It started with the two families getting ready to make the exchange. The girl from South Africa was the daughter of a cop. The girl in America was the daughter of a lawyer. The exchange took place and the girl from South Africa came to stay in the US with the family. The American family was black.

When the American family got their new exchange daughter, conflicts arose, and the exchanged daughter locked herself in the room that was provided for her. She even called her family and was about to ask to be brought home, but did not because her father said before she left that he was expecting her to come back within a week. She was not gone to give him the pleasure of being right so she stayed.
Then when she went to school with the daughter she was sent to the line to get her new schedule. When she was on her way there, a boy bumped into her and she dropped her books and all she was carrying. So her sister came and defended her, and relieved the tension.

Next was when the embassy guards came and almost deported her because a black person was just beat up by some cops in South Africa. She was almost deported if not for her American father coming in and saying to asking them if they were sure they wanted to do this and increase the tension in South Africa as well as here. Of course they did not want to increase the tension so they let the daughter come back home.

That was the end of her stay in America. She had a good time. The first thing she did when she got home was to let her pet bird free, because she knew what an important gift freedom was.

102 Dalmatians

I just saw 102 Dalmatians on TV. It was a humorous, sensitive, realistic movie. It starred Glenn Close as the first movie. But had the next generation of puppies and dogs, from the first movie, and even a parrot who thought it was a dog.

Cruella Deville, who was supposedly cured from her evil tendencies, and was volunteering at a animal shelter called “Second Chances.” Well this was all good for the time until she saw the Dalmatians again. It’s funny because her hair became crazy when she went psycho for the puppies. She went crazy again but again the puppies outsmarted her and she wound up in jail. This time with no hope of escape.

10000 BC

I just watched 10,000 BC. It was an action/ adventure that took place in Mesopotamia and Egypt .It was about the legend of the Blue Eyes. A girl was born with Blue Eyes; she was abducted by Egyptians with many of her people. Some of the others went after her and fought her captures, the Egyptians. She was freed with all her people. But before she left, she was killed, but then restored to life, because of her love and her life and what she would accomplish.
