Farmer McAllister's Thinkin' Machine (2001)
Irreverently Hilarious
Beautifully shot. Tony Forresta did an excellent job with the visual aspects of this film. The film's bizarre comedy is not usually something I would go for, but the more I've seen this short, the more I laugh. The strange nature of the scenes and unexpected twists keep the movie going forward. I usually don't like scenes that don't cut, that is scenes that are one shot, but in this movie I think they worked well. The timing and pace of the movie was also very good. The actors were perfectly cast and very talented. I especially enjoyed the character of Peg. The robot was cheesy, but for me that just adds to the comedy. I look forward to seeing Brady's next endeavor.
House M.D. (2004)
House is great entertainment
My mother and I watch House religiously. Of course everyone loves Hugh Laurie and so do we. Our favorite parts are when he has to do his rounds with the clinic patients. They bring levity to the sometimes dark and depressing medical problems the team must address.
In one hand I want the show to reveal more about House and the other characters, but in the other hand I know it is the mystery that keeps me coming back. Still I think a little delving into the lives of the supporting characters on the show wouldn't hurt.
House is beautifully shot and well edited. The acting is excellent and I like the writing. It may or may not be medically accurate, Laurie's accent may or may not be perfect, I hadn't really noticed. I want a show to entertain me and this one does.
Equilibrium (2002)
I can't believe I've never heard of this movie before now
This is a good movie and before my sister brought it home on DVD to watch, I had never heard of it. It's not life changingly wonderful, but on the whole it's a good sci-fi flick. I think this movie was poorly promoted. There are those movies that, for what ever reason, get swept under the carpet, maybe you're busy or away on vacation when they came out, but when you see a trailer or a video cover usually you go "oh yea, I wanted to see that one" or "Man that still looks bad, I'm definitely not getting that one." Usually something of the movie registers, but not with this one. It was no small low budget independent thing either and I'm amazed it wasn't promoted better.
I recommend this movie, it's visually stunning and raised a lot of interesting questions. The music was awesome and the action was great. There was some melodrama, but overall it was well done. If you liked Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," you'll love this.
