It's a movie you have to see. If only for the superb scene of the town population accountant!!
And yes, I am biased. I am a nerd. A movie nerd.

If you use CGI, make it fit... -my weekly rant

What bothers me the most about the usage of CGI is that it is usually done on big budget movies without any discretion whatsoever. If it does not fit, it irritates. Bad usage of CGI is cheap, granted, but there are plenty of examples of good special effects done on small budgets. Even if we are talking about plastic, clay etc. Golden rule is, the effects must fit the mood and world of the movie. Then nobody gives a toss how they are made.


Darkman - the low budget effects that Sam Raimi used
always hit the mark



Sky Captain.. wasn't even trying to imitate concretely
the real world. Everything was blended into something more
beautiful "comics-esque" world.

Movies you ought to see #1

Multi-Facial (1991)



There's truly a unique talent behind this film. It's a short
film with mindful content. The beginning may drive few
people off but I urge you to watch it 'til the end.

For such a high quality film it's surprising they haven't
published this in dvd already. It's a rare find (if you will
find it) but well worth it.
