Nah, haven't been feeling like blogging for a long while now. Still don't feel like blogging actually.
Here're some short cuts:
Ocean's Twelve tries to cram too much into one sitting at the expense of the style and panache that made its predecessor cool. The lines are still witty, and the camerawork is pretty, but the plot is even thinner than the first and the denouement is anticlimactic.
Finally managed to catch The Incredibles. Excellent stuff.
Nobody Knows (Dare mo shiranai) created a bit of a stir at Cannes when its 14-year old male lead won the Best Actor award. I didn't think Yagira Yuuya's acting was exceptional (although there is no doubt that he will grow into a Japanese hearthrob for thousands of young Japanese/Taiwanese/Singaporean Chinese girls), and considering that Fahrenheit 911 won Best Film at the same awards I can't help but wonder, well, what QT and Co. were thinking.
(And no, I don't think Tony Leung deserved the Best Actor award either. Shame on him for that infamous comment too!)
But that's a done debate. It's not a bad film.
