	Top Box Office Movies - Timeline
		Timeline is a flashy sci-fi actioner that boasts some mighty fine credentials that other time-traveling vehicles wish they could hang their hats on.
		The dialogue is remarkably simplistic and the movie resembles the prototypical high school history class that’s being taught by an overly enthusiastic bookworm substitute teacher.
		But in Timeline, Walker’s believability as a skillful time traveling archeology student engineering a plan to save his revered colleague/father is almost as believable as the profitable porn industry sponsoring a scholarship for down-on-your-luck eunuchs.

		Although I am not generally a fan of time travel movies, the concept of archaeologists traveling back in time to the site of their own dig is deliciously intriguing.
		Timeline effectively depicts the 14th century with striking realism-gritty, rude, and carnal.
		Donner's decision to minimize the use of CGI effects was a commendable choice, and adds further to the realism.

		CGI is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically 3D computer graphics) to special effects.
		CGI was first used in the 1973 Michael Crichton movie, Westworld.
		Movie stars now perform in front of a "blue screen." A special shade of blue called "Chroma Blue" is used for this purpose (human skin does not contain this shade of blue).

	Adapting Crichton
		In the movie, with steam and gizmos and rising music and things shaking, viewers will believe that several people have been transported "back" to April 7th 1357.
		However, in the movie itself, it would be much more suspenseful to stay in the past, and explain how they are rescued later.
		The movie, if ever made, wouldn't hit the screens until of summer of 2001 or 2002 anyway, and who knows if anyone at in that timeline will still be interested in time travel and jousting.

		Although the ending has to be compromised in the movie (the original ending by Tolkien is long and winding), it is nevertheless satisfying to see the return of halcyon days, and I, for one, am saddened to see the whole series come to an end.
		A lot of the movie's best qualities come from Cage's portrayal of Roy, an obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe, who is simultaneously trying to run his cons and come to grips with finding out that he has a 14-year-old daughter by his former wife.
		While the official movie website has all the info you could ever want, the IMDB entry is, of course, much better organized (thanks again, IMDB!).

	The Pop Culture Addict's Guide to Finishing a Dissertation: MOVIES
		The movie is billed as an “existential comedy” with protagonist Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman in easily his best role since “Rushmore”) torn by a series of weird coincidences in his life and feeling enormous anxiety about the state of the world and the purpose of his existence.
		What truly distinguishes this movie and makes it all the more miraculous is how invested the audience becomes in the characters and how enthralling the storytelling is. There’s plenty of heart and soul driving the engine of the film, making it so much more than a piece of eye candy or escapism.
		This movie was greeted in May at Cannes with derision and indifference due to its alleged self-indulgence and superficiality.

	Section 14: CGI in the movies
		But it was the 1982 sci-fi movie TRON that pushed the issue, using four major production companies to produce over 20 minutes of full 3D graphics.

		It all amounts to a blaze of CGI glory, devoid of all but the shallowest emotions, and so full of metaphysical hokum that the trilogy's detractors can gloat with I-told-you-so sarcasm.
		We learned in the first movie that an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) is their only defense against the machines.
		If the first Matrix movie had just been about eye-candy, these follow-ups might have been tolerable - since they have about the same substance as "Starship Troopers," but this is such a rip-off to fans who made the first movie such a cult success story.

		The lead actors are, in a sense, brave for enduring the true beast of Kong: the inevitable marketing blitzkrieg to follow.
		Perhaps knowing they’re not the real stars of the movie, the actors make their performances look easy.
		Watts steals the show, not only communicating the incommunicable by endearing us to an 8,000-pound gorilla but emoting with nothing but a blue screen and Andy Serkis’s ape-like motions to guide her through much of the way.
