Hey, all. Here's a quick two shots illustrating Eclipse's energy blast in "The League."
Kyle may not like me posting this, so take a look before it gets pulled.

Whoa
What the hell happened? I seriously haven't written anything here since January? Well crap.
Now that I've said that, I suppose I should give an update or something. Unfortunately, it's 1am and I've got to get to bed.
Update pending.

Been awhile since I've posted; sorry for that. Seen a number of movies lately so I thought I'd share my thoughts.
Atonement
This film started out strong, but ultimately fell short of what it could have been. In trying to keep the layers of the novel, the complicated structure distracts and detracts from the characters. As such, it’s hard to really invest in them. This ultimately causes the ending to lack the emotional resonance it's meant to have. Aside from an absolutely masterful steadi-cam shot during the Dunkirk sequence, I wouldn't recommend it.

There Will Be Blood
Awesome performances by Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano make this a dark and stirring drama about the greed and power two men display over oil and money and the utter loathing they have for one another. Paul Thomas Anderson lets you decide how to judge what you see, and there are nuisances in these performances that beg for repeated viewing before making that decision.

Juno
If you liked Little Miss Sunshine then you’ll probably like Juno. Great performances abound in this film, especially that of Ellen Page. My only issue with the movie is that it almost tries too hard to be a cool indie movie. Almost all the characters are quirky and somewhat weird, which makes them funny—and the movie more entertaining—but it seems less like a commentary on real life and more like the film knows it's “this year’s hit indie film.” Regardless, the movie had me by the end and it’s one of the best films I’ve seen lately.
