The Re-Invented Sha-Bang

I've always been a fan of sci-fi (the good stuff, which doesn't include the s**t Smallville). When I mean good stuff, I mean The Fountain, The Matrix Trilogy, Gattaca, Dark City, Alien Quadrilogy, Twelve Monkeys and Children of Men.

I love how the writers and directors have mixed the sci-fi elements of these films up with others, like fantasy, religion and drama, and I have to say, they work really effing well. The Matrix Trilogy for one gave new meaning to the concept of a human/machine war.

I especially liked how they turned religious and mythological beings (gods, goddesses, avatars, vampires etc) into machines and programs in human form. My favourites include Persephone (Monica Bellucci) and Rama Kandra (Bernard White) and Kamala (Tharini Mudarliar), who I thought added a good touch to the films.

I just love it! For anyone who's new to my blog, I just want to make it clear, I am a nerd. Judge if you will, but I probably won't care that much. Syke!
