CinéMagique!

Yesterday, I watched a couple of new films and I have to say, both had their merits, but both had their pitfalls.

One of the films I watched was "9".  It was quite trippy.  It was about a group of sack cloth dolls in a post apocalyptic world where all humans had been destroyed by an army of machines, which they created.  Heavy morals; the humans created the machines which led to their destruction,they were reckless, and that, even someone with tons of brains can be easily corrupted by evil forces if they lack a soul.  Deep stuff.  Regardless of being trippy, it was good.  I don't want to give away too much about it, but it had a heartbreaking end, I'll say that.  It was also terribly scary for a cartoon, but what do you expect from a Tim Burton production?

The other film I watched, slightly less bogged down with morals, was "The Hangover".  Meh.  It was okay.  There was a few funny bits, but I thought it was somewhat reminiscent of "Dude, Where's My Car?" and it wasn't going to live up to that.  Overall, it was quite a good film, it exceeded my expectations, I'll give it that, but then again I wasn't expecting much, people find it funny, and other films that people like are rubbish.  It was fine, it had been hyped up too much though. 

Anyway, I think I am a bit critical sometimes, so don't take my word for these films actually being like I said; my taste in films differs a fair bit from other people's tastes.  For example, I hated "Twilight", "The Dark Knight" and both of the Daniel Craig as James Bond films.
