Some Movie Thoughts

Since I am bored today and do not feel like getting ready for work, I decided to share some of my thoughts on movie news.

-Apparently Cowboy Bebop is going to be made into a live-action film. Keanu Reeves will star as Spike.

Lots of people think this is a bad choice, since Reeves has no real emotional depth as an actor. It actually does not bother me all that much. Spike generally showed a disinterest in whatever they were doing. I think it could work. I am also pretty excited about the idea of them making this movie...

-Watchmen will be released March 6th. For those of you who do not know what the hell I am talking about, two studios had a battle over distribution rights. Anyways, the movie will be released and we shall all enjoy in the awesomeness.

-So late at night, I love to watch bad films. Recently I sat through Vampire's Kiss. This movie was terrible, but also extremely funny. I wish I could have had some robots here to make fun of it MST3K style. Also, it turns out that Cage ate two cockroaches for the movie. Just read the wikipedia plot description to envision how bad this movie was.

-This brings me to the movie I watched late last night: Cube. Gideon had me watch it a few years ago, and I must admit it was pretty good. As I read about it on wikipedia, I came across something that Vampire's Kiss had in common with it. Kafkaesque...

I have never read anything by Kafka, maybe I should. However, I feel like anytime someone wants to sound pseudo-intellectual, they start tossing the adjective around about any indie type film. In fact, IMDB has a list of the 41 best Kafkaesque films...After spending a few minutes reading about Kafka and what his work was about, I can say that I understand how Cube and Dark City fall into that category, but Vampire's Kiss? Absolutely not...
