I loved the book. To say I’m disappointed with the TV series would be an understatement. I’ve watched 5 or 6 episodes so far (via Amazon Prime) but I think I’ll stop there.
All in Disappointing
J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS
Having grown up reading the science fiction of Clarke, Heinlein, and Asimov, the original Star Trek TV series always seemed unsophisticated and juvenile.
Rupert Sanders' “SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN”
The only reason I rented this Blu-ray was to see Charlize Theron. I was smitten by her in Prometheus and was really looking forward to seeing her in a turn as the Evil Stepmother.
Alas, it was not to be.
Timo Vuorensola's "IRON SKY"
I was really looking forward to seeing Iron Sky after all the online hype. Actually seeing it was a major disappointment. This movie is awful.
Sam Mendes' SKYFALL
I’m not a big fan of James Bond movies. I enjoyed Skyfall but I admit to having been bored at times. Why? A couple of reasons:
Daniel Espinosa's SAFE HOUSE
This formulaic spy thriller has one too many ridiculous shoot-outs and car chases to be credible.
Christian Alvart's PANDORUM
Plot summary:
Outer Space Zombies.
Keiichi Sugiyama's ORIGIN: SPIRITS OF THE PAST
The visuals and artwork are impressive but the characters and story are a letdown.
Memoirs of a Geisha
How could I resist a film starring Ziyi Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, and Gong Li? Especially when they frequently appear on screen in the same scenes together? When it’s a film about slavery.
Zhang Yimou's HERO
This is without a doubt the most boring film I’ve seen in months.
