Minority Report is absolutely haunted by A.I., I would go so far as to say it's a reaction to A.I.

Thing that got to me the most as a kid was just seeing that loving teddy bear walking onto the bed with the two dead people and being left entirely alone. I guess now as an adult I figure he's gonna get to pal around with the future-bots and such, but A.I. is still such an emotionally nuanced, melancholy movie to the bitter end.

I will never get over the fact that they hired multiple hand stuntmen and bought like 300 eggs for this shot and then Mads ended up doing it on his own on the first loving try.

Minority Report is a fantastic movie where a serious sci fi question is examined and Tom Cruise explores his pain at not being a proper father before he did it again and again in all his other movies

Will it make me Roughly The Size of A Barge?

Also, back from 12 Strong: The Classified True Story of the Horse Soldiers. I liked it. There's a ton of war nerd porn if you like Legend of Galactic Heroes-ish "we can't flank them to the west because...." scenes of talking over maps. The Americans are essentially embedded with an Afghan army for the entire runtime and always in the f/g while you can see some balls crazy assaults going on in the b/g.

e: here's what Wikipedia says the critics said:

quote:

: On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 54% based on 122 reviews, and an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "12 Strong has a solid cast, honorable intentions, and a thrilling, fact-based story - all of which are occasionally enough to balance a disappointing lack of depth or nuance."[25]

This is pretty true if you understand that "depth and nuance" is like all the Bay-isms that made critics howl at 13 Hours. Like this is a totally staid, "here's how you direct bombs from the ground" type movie that has many of the hallmarks of Ron Howard's mild sensibilities. This isn't a war movie that engages the emotions (which is good because I don't want to cry in a theater, and I'm glad I twigged what kind of war movie it was going to be from the trailer!)

Me and my girlfriend were watching Minority Report because we thought hey, Tom Cruise is usually good, and during the opening credits we were joking about how we should take a shot every time Tom Cruise runs. The movie didn't disappoint: in addition to having a lot of Tom Cruise running (from the law!), everyone went on about house this kid was just like his dad Tom Cruise, he was a good runner you see :D

It's noticeable; Tom Cruise does Eyes Wide Shut with Nicole Kidman and after that all his movies are about this anxiety of him failing as a husband or father. Even The Last Samurai cruelly hangs the specter of a family he can never have before him.

i would be very unsurprised if Minority Report was the beginning of the Tom Cruse Running meme, or at least what made it take off. He runs a lot in that movie. at one point Samantha Morton just yells run and he starts to run.

Seriously, it is pretty much the moral for most of the characters. That said, I’m not sure it’s meant to be a morality tale.

Is book of Henry the comedic voice of our generation? The sniper training reveal is one of the best punchlines in cinema history. I laughed for a solid 5 minutes. What a movie. Treverrow should've been able to keep Star wars 9, with both luke and Leia dead, book of Henry was a thematic warm up.
