Best scifi movies
Posted on April 3rd, 2009 CommentsRecently, I saw two of my all-time-favorite science fiction movies again. Blade Runner
and 13th Floor
. Both these movies are highly rated and have set the trend for modern science fiction. The 13th floor is about a simulation where there is a earth like world with real chracters in it. It is a must see. The movie Matrix was very much like 13th floor and was based on a similar story. BladeRunner is about a cop whose job is to deactivate “replicants” ( Robots ) in the future los angeles. Deckard and Roy batty have given excellent performances. Harrison ford is remarkable. Here are some of my favorite quotes from Bladerunner.
Roy Batty: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams … glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those … moments will be lost … in time, like tears … in rain. Time … to die.
Tyrell : If we gived them a past, we’d create a cushion, a pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them better.”
Deckard : “Memories. You’re talking about memories.” -
RV. Film Review
Posted on November 9th, 2008 Comments
If you’re looking for an updated “National Lampoon’s Vacation” for middle school-aged kids, and you’re not afraid of a predictable plot and potty humor, “RV” is the film for you. It’s the story of a suburban family, including a clueless but lovable dad (Robin Williams), on a “family time” road trip in - you guessed it - a recreational vehicle. Even for fans of Williams’s over-the-top “Mrs. Doubtfire” fare, “RV” delivers only a handful of laughs. A flat character and even flatter lines hardly allow the comedian to be himself (except for the opening tickle-monster scene). Those who prefer more subtle comedy than exploding sewage lines and rabid raccoons will likewise be disappointed. Extras: Details of the many toilet scenes are included in the appropriately named gag reel.
