What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

^-- ditto, even have the blu-ray, I need to watch it again now, it's been years
 
Hope was bonkers... but even more so then we expected. Starts out bonkers then goes even further off the sci-fi rails with a whole different story line then we were expecting (and may fuel a great sequel). As many reviews have mentioned the CGI is at times very low tech but also just a non factor IMO. If this bothers you then you are missing out on a really fun movie. The action scenes are outstanding bad CGI or not. This NPR review is probably the best general summary I have read although it does contain some spoilers. And there is clearly an undercurrent of Korean social, political and historical references, humor and themes some of which I got but some that went over my head so I will have to read some more in depth reviews and breakdowns. We loved it and the sidebar humor that lived in a lot of the dialogue often at hilariously inopportune moments was a highlight for me. And the old school Hyundai stick shift police car near Bullitt grade driving scenes are worth the ticket alone.

Digger was even more absolutely bonkers we saw it Sunday morning. Mish mosh style mash up Kubrick, Altman, Gilliam, Jeunet & Carot, Wes Anderson, others. We saw little tributes to all of the above scattered throughout the film. Reviews are clearly super mixed. We thought it was innovative and important film making. It's equal parts apocalyptic dystopian sci-fi, farce and topical commentary. It will probably ruffle some feathers but that's clearly the whole point. Tom Cruise nails his multiple roles which in and of itself is maybe a little bit of a spoiler after seeing only the trailer but really nothing mysterious that the film is trying to hide. This is a story telling gimmick that we initially did not enjoy or even understand it's purpose... but it then goes on to explain and justify itself IMO... especially at the very end after which we could not imagine the film being told otherwise.
