"You Again"
With more effort and sincerity, the concept of the film could've made for a solid dark comedy. Instead, it's a formulaic and sterile "family comedy" you can set your watch to."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

Cave of Forgotten Dreams
This is the new documentary by German director Werner Herzog, who I know has several fans on this board. Herzog and his small crew were miraculously granted access to the Chauvet cave in southern France which contains the world's oldest cave paintings. Since the cave's discovery in 1994, access to the cave has been limited to only a handful of researchers and scientists, in order to protect the fragile environment within. Some of the paintings are 30,000 years old and depict rather sophisticated images of bears, lions and horses. There are also human handprints and footprints preserved there, along with tons of prehistoric animal skeletons.
Herzog interviews some of the individuals who study the cave and narrates the proceedings in his inimitable German-accented delivery. It is entirely possible that some people will find this all rather tedious, as the film spends long uninterrupted minutes just scanning the cave walls, allowing us to take in what is presented there. But my wife and I found it absolutely stunning.
Herzog took the extra effort to film in 3D, with the expressed desire to give audiences a true feel for the texture and depth of the cave walls. It is an effective use of the technology and gives a great impression that this amazing artwork is truly right in front of you.
It's a fascinating movie. I'd love to hear what others think of it.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

I heard them talking about this on the movie show on KSL last Friday, and was interested in your take on it. They said even Roger Ebert who disdains anything 3D reluctantly admitted that this is an effective use of 3D.

"Sita Sings the Blues"
Great film. It shows that animation for adults can be done well. And there's four different threads here (with four distinct animation styles): a modern-day story (that I learned afterwards was autobiographical); a Greek chorus that provides genuine comedic relief; a "first-hand" account of the Hindu myth of the Ramayan; and the musical pieces."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay
