Appleseed

I rented the first movie and thought it was a great blue print for EX Machina.  I love the cg.  

The story lagged in the middle, that is why I called it a blue print.  The story seemed more about the set up of the world then development of characters and relationships with technology.  It was worth renting.  I want to watch EX Machina again.

It is a good movie.

Enchanted

Enchanted is a good movie.  I bought my copy before it's release.  I won't do that again.  I normally buy wide screen and I got a full screen from the Disney Store.  Unless all of the movies released were full screen, I am a bit disappointed.  

Now for the review, I love Amy Adams performance!  She is cute.  This is an actress to watch in the next few years.  She starred in the hilarious Wedding Date.  And she has other movie credits to her name that I have not seen.  

Enchanted is neat in a lot of aspects.  Susan Surandon's character said it best, "You must be the Damsel!"  She said this to Patrick Dempsey becasue the princess was going to rescue him.  

This is a good movie.  

Atonement

This movie sucks and did not deserve the critical reviews nor the Ocar Nominations.  Once again writers are trying to use gritty story telling to make a romantic point.  I don't find this movie romantic, it is offensive.

It is a bad movie.

The Mists of Avalon

I watched this take of the King Author legend yesterday.  I loved it!  It is from the perspective of his half-sister Morgaine and how she perceives what is done to her to gain power to keep Avalon alive. 

This movie was based on the best selling novel of the same name.  Normally, I don't like adaptions from really good reads.  I loved this movie.  It stars the brilliant Julianna Marguilies, Anjelica Huston, and Joan Allen.  All three of these actresses gave life to their parts.  And I have to admit anything that Anjelica Huston does I have a tendency to like.

Camelot is a rugged utopia.  The politics are woven delicately with the onslaught of a new religion.  The story proves that philosophies can be woven together at the end.

It is a good movie.

Appleseed:Ex Machina

Wow! Fantastic!  I was blown away.  I rented this movie for my husband.  I am interested in cartoons but when he put it in the DVD player, I was more interested in my Disney Vacation Planning than watching a movie.  But from the first scenes of this blockbuster that never reached the big screen.

Appleseed is a manga book and video game.  It has a movie that came out in 1995, and Appleseed: Ex Machina is a sequel.  I never would have guessed that it was a sequel!  The animation gave the characters life, the voice acting was great.

This is a sci-fi that can stand up there with other sci-fi's.  I loved this movie so much I don't want to give away any of the story.  It is a good movie, go out and rent it today!
