The first movie I’ve caught of the Johnny Depp series the local AFI theatre is presenting, Depp here plays William Blake. No, not that William Blake, though a reluctantly helpful native american he meets seems to think so. Because of a chance encounter involving a gun, a price is put on his head. Men, both lawful and lawless are sent to track him down, and his indian guide helps prepare him for his final journey. Shot in black-n-white, and with a music score by Neil Young that I really ended up liking, even though there wasn’t much to it. A thoughtful film— highly recommended.

An amazing Audi commercial that turns escher drawings into “real life.” Very, very clever.

Ohmanohmanohman, I reallyreallyreally hope this doesn’t suck.

Basically the second disc of a two-disc release of The Matrix that they released as a separate DVD, it contains a long documentary on the making of the film, which is pretty interesting when they talk about their ideas, and less interesting when they talk about the mechanics of making the movie— either it’s boring industry ass-kissing or technical elements that you already know about if you’ve watched the “white rabbit” stuff on the first Matrix disc. Oh, and you get the impression that Keanu Reeves is a self-abusive perfectionist, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving are pretty well-balanced individuals, and Carrie-Anne Moss whines a lot, which is not the impression I really wanted to have of her.

The DVD also includes a few sneak peeks at the then-forthcoming Animatrix and Matrix sequels. 3 stars.
