Movie Obsession Reviews

Sat Mar 21, 2009, 11:53 AM
Here we go. There are two movies I would like to talk about.

1. Knowing
2. Factory Girl


1. Knowing- a fantasy-action-mystery-thriller-apocalypse-drama with Nicolas Cage as nihilistic astrophysics professor who comes behind a oh-so-scaring secret about the end of the world. The good things about this movie are quickly named: some of the action-catastrophe sequences are nicely done (though the CGI effects are really not state-of-the-art), and the original idea of putting an apocalyptic numerology prophecy in a time capsule is actually pretty cool. Besides that, the movie is really not worth the price of the ticket. Nicolas Cage' comical overacting is already known from "The Wicker man", but here it reaches a new, embarassing climax. The early hints at the armaggedon are so thick and plump that you can stand a fork in it, and when the ending came, I laughed myself nearly to death. 4/10 points for that one.

2. Factory Girl- a biographic drama movie about a Warhol Factory Superstar, Edie Sedgwick. I am reading some intervies with Andy Warhol currently, so it was a nice visual addition to my impressions from another perspective. Many movie recension websites don't take this movie very serious. I wouldn't either.For that, Sienna Miller (Edie), Hayden Christensen ("Bob Dylan") or most of the other characters (other Factory members, f.e.)have not enough charisma or ambivalence in them to take over the public. Still the movie has some kind of a touching atmosphere, beautiful melancholic pictures, a great Guy Pearce who is a magnificent Andy Warhol. 6/10 points-meaning a good movie for one winter evening.

Next time I will talk about the Book "Interviews with Andy Warhol".

You are the answer.
Die Art, wie du mit einem Bleistift umgehen kannst, die haut mich aus den Schuhen. Wirklich.

I've realised that this
world at its best
Is just a prelude to the next
And it's not what I want to hear
It's not what I want to read
bin gerade in deine gallerie gestolpert und komme aus dem staunen nicht mehr raus
thanks my dear
