The Simpsons Movie was funny, yes, but it really did feel like just like one of those epic episodes of The Simpsons. Like the one where Bart goes to Australia. Or who shot Mr. Burns. Heck, it didn’t even feel like it spanned over an hour. Then again, the typical Simpsons episode has always an unrelated pre-plot (in the first 5 minutes) that leads to the main plot. It seems to be the writers’ challenge to link them.
Maybe it’s not so much of the movie feeling just like an epic episode, but that the episodes feel lengthy due to the pre-plot and main plot.
Also, I watched Transformers (the live action movie) again, finally, this time, paying, and this time, in Imax 2D (there is no 3D version. 🙁 ) The huge screen made it even harder to decipher the action (though after a while, I think I managed to identify who was hurling at who with my immense powers of observation.)
Dead Silence was cool. Amazing cinematography. Always cold blue faces. Cameos from the doll in Saw. A great attempt by the same director.
