A Scanner Darkly...........

WOW

All I can say is WOW.... If you haven't seen this you must. It is without a doubt the Strangest, Coolest, tripiest and at times funniest movie I have ever seen. It stars Keanu Reeves who I personally think is outstanding in this. Woah. The film also stars Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey, Jr. and Rory Cochrane. It is done in Rotoshop, a proprietary graphics editing program created by Bob Sabiston. This makes for a very weird feel.

OK, thats all the technical crap or at least as much as I want to talk about. I absolutely love this movie. In case you haven't figured this out, I'm a huge fan of Orwell (Animal Farm, 1984), Huxley (Brave New World, Island) and even a bit lesser Zamyatin (WE) so I was caught off guard that I hadn't wandered upon Phillip Dick. I know that This really doesn't belong in the same category as it doesn't deal with Utopian and all of that but I must say that the "Government" it very reminiscent of the "Thought Police" and similarly just as cruel. I might would describe this as Orwell meets Quentin Tarantino (Natural Born Killers).

If your looking for something thats a bit different then this is defiantly the movie for you.

Heck, I think even a Blam could get into this one. Well, Nobody dies a violent and grizzly death so that might be pushing it..... Gotta love a Blam...
