I watched two movies recently.  First was STAR Movies's Friday Night Premiere of Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence: A.I., which I thought was an excellent movie.  I initially thought this was some sort of children's movie, so I wasn't too anxious to watch it.  But about a month back, STAR Movies started showing advertisements for it and the thing that got me hooked was the short samples of John Williams's music which was in them.  When I finally saw the movie it was something totally different from what I'd expected.  It is rated PG-13 in the U.S., but I thought it was more of an adult-oriented movie, a true science-fiction story presenting a bleak view of the future (the look of the movie reminded me of Minority Report, Janusz Kaminski's photography is brilliant).

I also saw Final Destination on Sunday night, after recording it from HBO a day earlier.  This movie was not bad, it was a well-made thriller, but somewhere about 3/4th of the way through, I had trouble accepting what was happening.  While it never got to the point where events became ridiculous, I still couldn't take it as seriously as the first part.

Tonight, STAR Movies is showing the Mark Dacascos movie Brotherhood of the Wolf, which I think I will watch.  And they are showing Martin Scorcese's Bringing Out The Dead on Friday, which seems very interesting!  HBO is showing Mission: Impossible 2 on 18th, and Enter the Dragon on 26th.  Good stuff, eh?
