Movies, Maladies and things
Jan. 30th, 2005 04:30 pmWell, I guess it is just as well the game was called off. I spend the last three hours in a hot bath and napping, I do not know what was wrong but I sure was miserable. Anyway, I am feeling much better, well fully normal anywhere.
Since we did not open the shop yesterday, we caught up on some movie watching.
Code 46, an interesting science fiction movie. Part of the assumption of the movie is that reproductive cloning is common and that multiple people share the same genetic code. The Code referred to in the title is the one that forbids genetic mixing between closely related people. It is a slow placed look at how certain modern trends (genetics, insurance, travel security) might play out. Almost no special effects but good use of modern places (like Shanghai) to suggest the future. Slow paced and odd story, but interesting look at a possible future. Interesting to see Tim Robbins in a leading role too.
Cold Mountain, an American Civil War story that focuses on the hardships faced by the South both for the soldiers and those left behind. This is all wrapped around a love story of course. A bit long but beautifully filmed with lot of period music.
