Matrix Revelations

Can't say that I'm surprised.

I hope you find this interesting.

To say nothing of monks.

Woah they went to my highschool!! awesome.

Oh, and if you haven't seen Bound, do. It's an amazing example of how you can make a great movie without a huge budget or special effects.

Imagine that.

Not much of a mention - they seem more concerned about his dating/falling for that dominatrix than him playing D&D... not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[mythago]

Imagine that.

It's a good counterpoint to people who sneer that the Matrix movies are just a lot of flashy FX. No, these guys *do* know how to make a movie.

Or, possibly, it's a good counterpoint to people who claim the Matrix movies are worth the celluloid they're printed on. No, these guys *do* know how to make a movie.

They've just chosen to make a trilogy of crap.

Bound is pretty empty, at its core, but any film that features an extended sex scene between Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon simply cannot be *too* bad. Ai-yi-yi...

Ah, but that's the beauty of it--even if you hate all three Matrix movies with the fire of a thousand suns, you can't honestly say "Gee, these guys are the John Grisham of movies." No, they can write and direct, really.

Empty? I mean, it is a sleazy crime thriller, so I guess it isn't Baudelaire, but it's a damn fine movie of its genre. And it was nice for the sex scene to be interesting, and important to the film, rather than the usual action-movie groping.

But yeah, Gina Gershon nude didn't hurt.
