Sicario - 8/10

A very wholesome family story, involving an FBI and CIA joint-operation to take down the leader of a Mexican drug cartel. Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, and a guest appearance from Shane from The Walking Dead - with the Zombie make-up still fresh on his face from Season 2. Recommended especially for young kids and elderly church-goers!!
 
CRIMINAL. Kevin Costner , Gary Oldman and Ryan Reynolds switches memory with Costner and best way to describe this is bourne ultimatium with a mad dog Costner ha ha pure action moves fast give a 8.
 
I can't rate Sphere as a movie. The book is all kinds of the awesome. I have only seen the movie once and was thoroughly disappointed by it. Samuel L. Jackson was a good casting choice. I can't remember any of the other cast apart from Dustin Hoffman. He was an alright choice I guess. I highly recommend the book. I haven't read all of Crichton's stuff but I haven't ever read a "bad" book. Sphere is one of the better ones.

I liked Interstellar more upon my second viewing. I picked it up on Bluray for $4 on Black Friday last year. My son opened the case shortly after and cracked the disc in half. I'm in no rush to replace it but if I see it for $4 again I'd probably add it to the collection once more.
 
While Interstellar is a popcorn version of 2001 in its sentimentality, it did the science stuff much much better than 2001.

You could tell Kubrick didn't quite get what A.C. Clarke wanted to depict, and went instead for an acid trip :slap while Nolan perfectly understood Thorne's work.

Ugh, try reading Congo, horrible book.

I can't argue with that. Both science fiction movie with entirely different strengths. I wouldn't hold Interstellar up to 2001, but it is groundbreaking in the fact that it gets so much of the science right, even if there are a couple of times it panders to the audience.

Even when pandering to the audience, you still got the occasional idiot "why is this science dude explaining to this other science dude why wormholes are spheres? Hurrrrrr" :lol

If interstellar was much colder in its approach, leaving the love stuff entirely implict for the audience to figure out, and had better dialogue, it would be as good as 2001. But 2001 is still better in that regard, and a couple others, and has a bigger scope.

But all and all I'll stick to the A.C. Clarke books. Haven't read the entire book by Thorne though.
