It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Don Knotts, who died on Friday night at the age of 81.  Throughout my childhood, if there was one actor whom I could always count on for a laugh, Don Knotts was it.  The Incredible Mr. Limpet, the Andy Griffith Show, the Apple Dumpling Gang, and Three's Company are just a handful of shows and movies that I remember him in.  Thank you Mr. Knotts, and farewell.

This is a very short bullet movie review in that I am only reviewing two films–Domino and Mirrormask…

Needless to say these opinions are mine and mine alone, and some of them may offend you.  If you are offended by any of my reviews here, please keep in mind, it's only a movie.

	Domino 2005: (Action)	Okay, I watched this sad excuse for a movie last night and can report to you that if you have an attention span longer than that of a gnat, you should probably skip it.  It's complete dreck.  Not that the story wasn't at least somewhat interesting, if not ridiculous in spots, but the camera work (128 minutes of zooms, cuts, pans, blurry and/or stylized shots, etc.) was INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.  I don't think there was a shot longer than 3 seconds in the whole movie.  In that way it sort of reminded me of the Unwatchable Hulk which suffered from a different but similarly lobotomized presentation. It wasn't long before I was hoping that Domino Harvey (the lead character played by Kiera Knightley) would die so that the film would be over and I would be released from this hellish insanity-inducing fullisade of images. The plot was definitely clever, and if Tony Scott hadn't decided to shoot this like one of his “acclaimed TV commercials” I might have enjoyed it. Unfortunately for me, he basically shot it as a 2 hour music video, without the music. Yes I know, blasphemy. Tony Scott is brilliant, he's an edgy “visionary”, and I'm supposed to like this film if I want to be cool. Tough.  This movie SUCKED and I want that two hours of my life back. Looking back over my life I'd rather go through circumcision again than give Domino a second viewing.
	Mirrormask 2005: (Fantasy)	When I watched this film I was still pissed off about Domino, so that may have marred my impressions but I am about to commit blasphemy again. Maybe this film is fine for kids, but I was positively bored out of my skull. Once again I found the heavily stylized visual presentation annoying, though thankfully not as annoying as Domino. IMNSHO, the moviemakers took a painfully predictable storyline and wrapped it up in some fancy CGI and apparently expected me to be entertained. Yes, I realize it is an award winning film from top-notch writers, directors, and special effects shops. Maybe I'm a phillistine or something, but I thought it was just awful. Not to mention it has been done before. This movie shared so many similarities with The Neverending Story (apart from being good) that I was tempted to remove it from my DVD player and watch that instead. In fact I'd say if you've watched The Never Ending Story and The Wizard of Oz, there's really no need to watch this film. Pretty much every major character and plotpoint in this movie I saw coming long before it arrived. I basically knew where the movie was going about 10 minutes in, and then it was simply a long boring wait for it to get there. Therefore, maybe if you have youngsters to whom this idea will be new and fresh, you should rent this and watch it with your kids. Otherwise? My recommendation is to skip it.

Okay, that's long enough… time for another name that movie!  You know the drill…

Below is an image from a movie.  If you can guess the movie via that one image, do so, if not, links to further images will be posted throughout the day.  The second image should be more obvious, and the third image even moreso, and so on.  Please try not to read the comments before you guess!

NTM is JavaScript driven and will automagically make the images available at the listed times. Once you've got the page open, you can refresh the image links just by clicking the refresh button below, this will check the clock and enable further images as appropriate. Times displayed should be in your local timezone. (Yes, obviously you can cheat either by viewing the source, or simply changing the time on your clock.)

The image links will replace the primary displayed image when you mouse over them.  This way you can view the images right in the article without having to open up new windows.  You may have to wait a second or two for the new image to download before it will replace the primary image.  The original primary image will return when you mouse off of the image link.

I will, as time permits, also post the image links in comments for those of you whom cannot run javascript.

That said, here's the first image…

GOOD LUCK!!!
