Re: Rate the last movie you watched.

I just saw Bubble and thought it was an ok movie. But I wasn't impressed. I'm still not a fan of Soderbergh. He's made a couple of movies that I liked but none that I loved and a few that I hated. And this is what I expected. When Soderbergh gets ambitious he produces a movie that's acceptable. It wasn't groundbreaking or anything like a lot of people were expecting it to be. He went for that minimalist style that Gus Van Sant had in his last to films but it just didn't work for me because he gave it a story that should have been incidental but wasn't. The fact that it wan't took away from the movie because it wasn't good enough and it just ended up clashing with the spirit of the movie. I'd take Van Sant's work over this without out the slightest bit of a second thought.

And I just couldn't get over the sound issues. There was bad ADR for one but that didn't bother me as much as the fact that they did ADR and how they did it. I love Fellini movies where the sound sits in the back seat. But it didn't work here. You're making this effort to produce a movie that has a very candid feel with nonprofessional actors representing a group of people in Buttplug Nowhere America but you turn around and ask them to do dialogue replacement. I could have miked that set for him with a couple of hypercardiods and an omni and it would have sounded perfect in mixdown. Maybe he was trying the Fellini style of active directing. But why? You can't be afraid to waste film if you're shooting in DV and there is nothing natural about it. You need real actors for that. So maybe he wanted a very natural feel on set with not much going on. Well, let's forget about the fact that having three decent mics is not a big deal and talk about the post. They made no effort to give the ADR recordings any natural reverb. You want this natural, candid feel and all I can picture while watching your movie is people standing in a cold, reverb-dead ADR booth not knowing what they're doing. Not cool.

Anyway, it's an alright movie that is not special but it is worth checking out. It does have some good ideas. I'll say it's a good practice movie and that maybe next time he does this he'll iron out the wrinkles.

Wedding Crashers - 9/10

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were Rabbit (2005)

This feature was pretty entertaining. It has those weird inventions and wackiness just like in all the other Wallace & Gromit animated shorts. If you liked the short films, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this as well. One thing I saw during the credits was that Ralph Fiennes did the voice acting for Victor Quartermaine, the hunter. Looking at his other credits for 2005, it looks like it was a pretty good year for him, both critically and financially.

Rating: 3.5/5 (IMDb entry)

Next up: The Constant Gardener, Corpse Bride, Les Diaboliques
