I keep track of notable movies I've seen. Beware, most of my favorite movies are usually unpopular in the box office, and I lean towards Sci-Fi and cereberal subjects.
| Title | Date of Viewing | Review | Favorite Scene or Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus | 2011-03-27 | Bizarre visual spectacle, woven together with an imaginative plot. | The unfolding of the various forms of the travelling show wagon. |
| Donnie Darko | 2010-08-21 | A real surprise, with a complex sci-fi/fantasy plot. Lower budget production that draws you into its mysterious storyline. | Several excellent roles rendered by some famous actors, and a nice time travel paradox. |
| Pan's Labyrinth | 2010-04-25 | A unique film, with a compelling set of characters. Gruesome at times, intriguing at others. Well crafted. | The juxtaposition of fantasy and reality. |
| City of Ember | 2010-04-11 | A classic style Science Fiction story. Performed poorly in the box office, but I loved it. There are many other stories along these lines, and they make for great explorations the human condition. | The first glimpse of the generator. |
| The Man From Earth | 2009 | A great plot evolution based on a simple meeting of friends, while one is planning to leave. | A special moment in the discussion (I don't want to spoil it for you). |
| Blade Runner | 1987? | Another redefintion of the visual style of science fiction movies. | The overall view of the city from above, transitioning to the huge central tower of Tyrell Corporation. |
| Brain Storm | 1987? | A compelling story of how a new technology can affect lives. | The evolution of the recording device through the plot events. |
| 2001: A Space Odyssey | 1979? | A central work in the science fiction genre, redefining the look of movies to come. | Dave battles Hal for survival. |
