The Shape of Thingies to Come

Advantages: It's the future...
Disadvantages: ... and as usual it's not how we want it to be

...have been told all that Code 46 entails. In a world of cloning, where clones are subject to so many different factors - environment, climate, food culture, chance - that they are ultimately different people, it is very difficult for anyone to make 100% sure they are not engaged sexually with their own kin. Code 46 enables what is presumably some sort of world government to check all known couples trying for babies, and all females coming by them ...
...for the same director as Code 46, Michael Winterbottom. That film, The Claim, is fabulous. His last film, 9 Songs, is appalling. All of them are entirely different in mood, style and genre. However there seems to be a connection between many of his films, and it's not only in using FCB to write them (they've actually paired up about six or seven times in all now). In This World tailed some emigrant children halfway across the world from central ...

Missy Elliott in another film?

Advantages: Shows the truth of friends and family
Disadvantages: Soundtrack and film!

...I wouldn't really know. Honey Daniels is played by Jessica Alba. She is a really great actress in my opinion, however I do think that this film wasn't good, and that surprised me by her acting skills considering the fact that she is a brilliant actress, this film is supposed to be just as good, but I don't think it really shows her acting abilities and just shows how a film can put over that the star is a rubbish actor/actress. The rest of the ...
...I had them before? Honey is a dancer, a choreographer and is working as a bartender, she has way too much on her plate, but then she makes it big, and her dream is pushing her away from people she might consider as friends, then she finds out the dream is too good to be true, and she is let go, but then a new dream fills her head and she pushes to make this dream come true, it'll help everyone around her, she is now thinking about others apart from ...

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Advantages: Actors' performances, not too serious.
Disadvantages: Sometimes confusing.

...I'm glad to say that Pride and Prejudice was not the same. I was impressed by the cast members' performances, they all seemed to successfully pull-off their characters roles. I think this is because most of the characters are very well developed, but I feel some could have been portrayed in a more obvious way. It was often hard to decide what a character was feeling, but this didn't happen too often. The only downside is that sometimes parts of the ...
...miss out important details, perhaps expecting the audience to understand what is going on without them having to tell us. Because there are so many different stories and plots, the fact that certain details are missing means that sometimes it is easy to become confused. The story in general is wonderful and extremely interesting. It may appeal less to younger viewers but to any romantics-at-heart it is an excellent film! I would really recommend ...
