Hostage - 5/10
It was alright. Just your run-of-
the-mill suspense
movie. Nothing special to set it apart from
the rest. No big twists or surprises. I wasn't overly impressed, but I still sat through it all.
Skycaptain and
the World of Tomorrow - 8/10
This film was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful,
the way they shot it and
the special effects they used. It didn't even look like special effects. They gave it this real cliche' WWII propaganda feel, particularly in
the beginning. It was funny, upbeat, and fun to watch. My only complaint is that they didn't really develop much of a background for hte main character. Sure,
you get to know what he's like, but not how he got to where he is, which was unfortunate. But by
the time things got rolling, it didn't really matter. I found myself watching
the film just to see what was going to happen next. It was a truly unique visual experience. I wouldn't be surprised if 100% of this
movie was shot behind a green screen.
