i went through downtown Vancouver yesterday and theres been a flurry of decorating going on as the Olympics get near . its really colourful, but its amazing how much advertising there is . its branding here, its branding there, its branding almost everywhere . i just hope its all taken down once the games are over .
ooo here comes a cruise ship sailing into port . must be the one they are going to house the 6000 imported cops in . i really hope the games don't feel like a military siege

The Olympics are 3 weeks away and above me at Cypress Mountain (where a bunch of events will be held) doesnt have snow. with all the warm temperatures and rain we've had, I'm surprised they have any snow at all . Luckily all the big skiing events are being held up in whistler where they have plenty of snow, but it would be nice to get some more snow locally.

after many months of not seeing any movies, i was able to find some time to see a bunch over the holidays . here's what i thought about em..............
Fantastic Mr Fox - this movie was amazing . its funny and very very entertaining . just go see it. you wont be disappointed
Avatar - i saw the 3D version of the movie and its the best 3D has ever been. for once its nice to see a movie that lives up to the hype. it takes you to a new fantastical world and the visuals are incredible . and oh yeah, them blue chicks is really sexy . do not miss it on a big screen
Up In The Air - an entertaining movie, but the ending was a little bit of a downer. they kept trying to imply that george clooney's lifestyle wasn't fulfilling enough, while i was thinking i wish mine could be like that . the young trainee that clooney travels with isn't that great an actress, but thats more than made up for by the very sexy vera farmiga . wait for video
The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus - like any terry gilliam film, it takes a little while and perhaps another viewing or two to grasp what he had intended to do . in other words you have a great idea for a movie that does its best to accomplish the vision, but in the end is something quite disjointed and that's just a shame . in the last couple of films, he's let some of the supporting actors be a little too over the top , which i find annoying. i'm a giliam fan so i enjoyed it , but don't think a lot of people will
Invictus - clint eastwood only directs good movies . he has become a standard of cinema excellence and this story is another gem. its the true story about how nelson mandela united his country by getting blacks and whites to unite together to support their national rugby team at the rugby world cup . the cast is excellent, but its morgan freeman who masterfully portrays mandela that really makes the movie
Where The Wild Things Are - if i had liked the little kid in this movie, this would have been one of my favourite movies in years . its visually amazing and inventive and the supporting cast is awesome . i just couldn't stand max and it ruined the movie for me
The Hangover - all summer long i kept hearing how funny this movie was . to the point where it could never live up to its billing . it does have its funny moments, but i'd wait until it comes on tv
Inglourious Basterds - after i saw death proof, i started to like tarentino a little and was looking forward to seeing this, but i have to say i was disappointed . it wasn't as funny as i would have expected and the derring do that they showed in the ads and trailers never really materialized on screen . everything was there for a great movie, but tarentino's need to linger in banalities got in the way of the plot . its too bad cuz it could have been great
Star Trek - this movie was awesome . i had waited all autumn until mum got her new tv for xmas to see this film and am i ever glad i waited . this movie is beautifully shot . its gorgeous to look at and the movie deftly tells the tale of how the classic star trek characters came together without being schmaltzy . the villain's story made sense and that made the movie come together terrifically . do not miss this
more snap reviews soon
