Always refreshing to find someone else who can spot the dimwittery behind the "pretty" in poor, dumb "Sunshine." I re-watched "Alien" recently, after having seen "Sunshine"; trust me, Boyle and Garland's rip-off-- erm, opus-- doesn't look any brighter by comparison in the rearview mirror, if you get my drift....

Nice review.

Your ability to work immigration into your writing is relentlessly impressive.

Great review Steve. It is depressing how our can-do spirit is dissipating.
I see you mentioned Children of Men. Did you ever review it? I hated that movie.

That "Thank You for Smoking Line" loses something in the translation. Aaron Eckhart's hand gestures give it all it's humor:

It's right near the end.

The great state of Wisconsin will not apologize for its cheese.

"Thank You for Smoking"
"Idiocracy"

What sorts of movies, I wonder, do Sailerites tend to (uniquely) watch? I'd guess that "Thank You for Smoking" and "Idiocracy" are at least two of them.

Danny Boyle seems to throw logic out the window whenever he dips his toe into sci fi. The ridiculously overpraised "28 Days Later," is the same way. The epidemiology of the rage virus that wipes out Britain is just ridiculous-- it acts on victims so fast that it would burn itself out before it could travel far, and be fairly easy to quarantine-- the same reason why the scary Ebola virus never makes it out of sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, it was tough for me to enjoy the decent camerawork and performances, because the premise was inherently dishonest-- and that was before the second half baldy ripped off Romero's "Day of the Dead," with it's crazed military men and semidomesticated zombie.
