The Postman (1997).

Strange that I had never heard of this movie at the time, as post-apocalypse is one of the genres I like to watch everything of, no matter how shit. I guess it was eclipsed by Waterworld two years previously. Directed and starring Kevin Kostner, what an egotist. I thought it was good, but too many damn kids in it, I hate kids, reminded me of how they messed up Mad Max 3: Beyond the Thunderdrome, stupid kids again. Is the title some kinda reference to post-apocalypse man or post-man for short? So clever Kostner.

The bottom line

Good, high budget yet B-grade post-apocalypse, Kevin Kostner movie.

3D Cinema

I saw Martin Scorcese's Hugo in 3D in the cinema last night. Everytime I go to the cinema in the last while I'm dissapointed by the small screens, often lack of surround sound, and appalling shutter speeds. The 3D was good, and the movie was not too gimmicky about it, but did use it. BUT! I could not help thinking: yeah that ball looks great coming out of the screen, but why am I seeing eight of them when it moves? It really seems like they're slapping 21st century technology onto 1970s tech, and I guess that's what they are doing, but really they need to update these projectors properly if they want the cinema industry to survive. I think a lot of people have large flat screens and possibly 5.1 surround at home these days. Surely they should increase the framerate and screen size by updating old tech or moving over to digital projectors? And for the love of jaysis turn on the feckin surround sound if you've got the equipment!

Skyline (2010)

Great space monster b-movie, with plenty of action and other eyecandy. This is the sort of shit they wish they could've made in the 1950s.
