"Father...regrets...?"

All right, first on a kinda random note, I went to see V for Vendetta last night (mini review to come) and they showed a preview for Dante Basco's new movie, and it totally freaked me out and made me even more hyped for the premier, which was waiting for me on my trusty VHS tape at home.

Anyway, onto my thoughts of the Avatar State!

The 5th of November

Saw V for Vendetta last night. Twas okay. It's what you get when you take The Phantom of the Opera, Zorro, and Batman and stir vigorously. The love story deserves an eyebrow raise (the level of which is debatable). Not sure how I feel about the entire violence/terrorism is good thing, and ( spoilers )

. I did, however, really like the whole "idea" thing. And it did have some nice quotable sections, and that's always enough to appease me! And there were some humorous bits, though I don't know if they were all intentional. (( spoilers )

) I was also amused to note that the computers they were using were Dell's. Good to know they survived the disintegration of America and birth of totalitarianism in England. Speaking of which, if they were attempting to mask the film's agenda and lessen the potential cultural-conservative-BLARGG-vs-liberal-GRARRR-wars controversy by setting it England, they failed. Also, it troubled me that she had all these different outfits. Where were they coming from?? But, erm, that said, it was a good-great movie, Natalie Portman acted well, and loved the inspector guy.

Note on the trailers, Silent Hill actually looks good and scary as hell. X-Men trailer also really made me wish I watched those movies. And maybe I will. I so did not know one of them had wings--pretty white angel-ey wings...! (And I do like Hugh Jackman.)
