Watched Ong Bak 2 and was confused.
Enjoyed it to be sure, but I think I lost the plot a little towards the end and started to miss what was happening story-wise. However that said I do have to mention the awesome martial arts which I have come to expect from these kinds of films now. They were incredibly good.
Watched Gamer, enjoyed thoroughly.
As far fetched as the concept is, I really enjoyed the film. Also loved the two leads Dexter’s Michael C. Hall and Gerard Butler. Look out for the dancing!
Watched Surrogates last night, enjoyed it.
Some decent special effects and an interesting enough story to keep me entertained. I also noticed vague similarities between this film and Gamer… the idea of controlling something else from your own home, be that a machine or person. I’ve noticed that before where a spate of films will come out, all with a similar theme or core. I did however think the idea that over the course of such a short time the human race would almost all decide to live their lives through their surrogates. It also pointed out in the film several times what I think would be the fundamental flaw… you simply don’t know who you are talking to if you are talking to a machine. It’s like the logical extreme of sitting in a chat room anyone can pretend to be anyone else, and that just wouldn’t work.
