Wasn't bad. I'm genuinely shocked.

A Scanner Darkly wut D: / 10.
Okay, 8 really. I liked it a lot, although I think I need to watch it again.
Very true to the book, and it's well worth reading the book.
I liked the motifs of self-consumption.OH MY GOD NEW PATH WAS GROWlNG SUBSTANCE D WHAT A MIND **** AMIRITE?
Get Smart: 8.5/10
After Evan Almighty and Dan In Real Life, I wasnt sure if Steve Carell would be funny in this, but I was proven wrong. Very funny movie.
Hell yeah. That's pure Philip K. Dick right there. You should read the novel the movie was based on, it's slightly better than the movie (which I like) IMO and goes a bit deeper into the thematic stuff. Plus you'll understand the movie better.I liked the motifs of self-consumption.
The lives of the individual characters consume themselves, as, with D as the engine, they consume the resource of their life and churn it out as waste. Arctor especially experiences a self-consumption; his personality collapses and begins to fight with itself, and the investigation turns inwards too, as he is assigned to spy on his own self. The house folds up on itself, as paranoia and friction causes Barris to sell everyone out, including himself. Then the entire country turns inwards, going to war with its own population: the state terrorises its citizens. And finally, as broken federal agents infiltrate New Path, the entire state oppression of apperatus itself turns inwards, cannibalising its own flesh and investigating its own departments.
Hot Fuzz
I'm watching this right now actually. It's a great film. Great script and fantastic direction. Everything in this film is so well linked to the rest of the film. The shots are great and the music is spot on. Who directed this? I'd say he could make a great serious sci-fi or horror film and there hasn't been one of either in years.

Based on the William Gibson short story?Johnny Mnemonic - how can a movie be this bad/10
Meh, I thought it was lackluster, I'd give it a 6/10. I never found myself giving a shit about the characters.Lars and the Real Girl - 9/10
An amazingly strange touching movie about a guy and his love for a sex doll. The concept is brilliant!

Blade Runner - 7/10
Never saw it before now. I was a little surprised when the atmosphere went kind of crazy Bioshock-ish about 2/3 of the way through. The whole "like tears in rain" line was good though. I watched the "Director's Cut" edition and just found out that I probably missed stuff since they apparently removed a lot of voice-over dialogue....
There Will Be Blood - 9/10
****in fantastic performance.
I think most fans agree that the "Final Cut" is the proper version and how the director wanted it from the start.Blade Runner - 7/10
