Daft Punk- Electroma

The pair from the group Daft Punk created a movie called Electroma in 2007. The plot revolves around how two robots want to become human in a society of robots. Its an interesting artistic type of movie where in the beginning the duo are driving around down in a 1987 Ferrari with California plates marked HUMAN.

I came across this posting off the Google Video website. Enjoy



Also, from what i have read the music featured in this movie was not by the band Daft Punk. But this movie was directed and stared the members of Daft Punk: Peter Hurteau and Michael Reich.

TRON: Legacy

Hello Everyone, I had a chance to see an awesome movie this morning, TRON: Legacy in IMAX 3D . If you are like me and you can appreciate a classic movie you will love this continuation of the Tron saga. I thought it was Amazing. On a scale of 1 to 10, i would give it a 15.

I loved watching the original Tron and this movie took you perfectly to the next part of the digital world to show you what came next. For months now with the rest of you i have been teased by clips and photos. But, once you finally sit down and watch it, you are captivated and blown away. You forget about time and just sit back to enjoy the movie. It is 2hours and 7 mins long and honestly i didn't even notice it.



One of the great things about the movie is that it integrates parts of the old original Tron into the story line. So if you haven't seen the original, please go see it first then this movie, you will appreciate the story more. I think this movie definitely deserves some major awards all the way around. I take my hat off to everyone who was involved in this movie, you guys Rock, Thank You.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D




Today, I decided to go out to the movies and see the new 3D movie, Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D. I wasn't sure what to expect because technology is always evolving and yesterdays 3D is different than today's version of it. As we arrived at the theater mid-day there was a line at the ticket counter. I honestly didn't expect that many people mid-day on a Sunday afternoon.

Then as we got to the counter and purchased our tickets, they gave us our ticket and a pair of 3D glasses for the movie. I wasn't sure if they would be the old cheap cardboard red and blue lens glasses. But, they weren't those at all. The glasses were black plastic framed with slightly tinted clear lenses. So after I loaded up with my bottled water, large butter popcorn and twislers I headed into the theater.

It was a small crowd for Resident Evil so I found the perfect seat to view it without worrying about loud, noisy, people around me. Then just as I sat down, a message came across the screen for everyone to please put on your 3D glasses. So I put mine on and got ready for the show.

We were pleasantly entertained by a Scion car commercial in 3D. It was actually pretty cool to see. Then there were a few other goodies they showed us in 3D. Afterwards, they ran some regular movie previews for upcoming shows.

I got the feeling we saw 20 mins of previews before the movie began. Then another message came across the screen to please put on your 3D glasses. This time more 3D previews came on for some new movies coming out soon in 3D. They looked pretty awesome. Then it was time for the show to start.

I have to admit, when first putting on the glasses it did feel a bit strange. Then they cut the 3D stuff out, showed some regular previews. Then back to the 3D stuff. As the movie started I noticed in the first few mins I felt a bit queasy. I was worried I might actually lose my lunch. It took a few minutes to get used to it, then it was ok. I don't know if others felt it, but I definitely did.

Then as I sat back and watched the rest of the movie, I was totally blown away. It was AWESOME, I loved it. There were several parts where things came right out at you, as they were thrown or exploded out. This was definitely a new form of 3D.

A few times I peered over the glasses to see if I could notice anything. There is one scene where the people are standing talking together and they appear to be right out in front of you. So as I peered out over the glasses, I noticed that the background was a bit blurry. But, outside of that no other difference.

All in all the movie was Fantastic. It did leave room for another version for the Resident Evil series. You know how it is folks, the umbrella corp. never dies they just terrorize in another way. If you want to see a great action, zombie flick with yes a bit of the matrix theme in it, Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D is your movie.

I give it 4 thumbs up out of 4 thumbs....
