Short films are much like poetry and rhinoceros attacks in the sense that when they hit they hit hard. Cashback was a short film I saw a while ago on cbc late one night that was really amazing. It was smart and funny and meaningful and one of those movies like Brick or Magnolia where not a single shot is out of place or haphhazzard and everything is the way it is for a reason. Now they are making it a full length and I'm beyond jazzed to see it.
also, the Golden Compass. And Invasion of the body snatchers looks either way cool or way lame.and Superbad. Micheal Cera is comedy gold
I saw transformers last night and it was ok, except for it's not really transformers. they don't look the like the autobots, they don't move like the autobots, and they just don't really feel like the autobots. so it's a good popcorn movie about giant robots that turn into cars, except that the turning into cars thing is incidental and it's not really about the robots, they are just plot. the whole thing really runs like a commercial for the army and for GM, which is probably because that's exactly what it is.
