<\/a>Continuing on with my Summer’s End post, the movie Blindness<\/a> caught my eye (oh the jokes just keep on coming at Dead Robot Heavy Industries). <\/p>\n

I have to admit that Julianne Moore has been on my “oh my god I hope her career is tremendous and full of really great work!” radar since I first saw her in Safe<\/em>, but in the last 5 years she’s made some questionable decisions (koff koff Next<\/em> koff koff The Forgotten<\/em> koff Laws of Attraction<\/em> keff kuff hek) only to be replaced with amazing parts, like The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio<\/em> (god who thought of that memorable title?) or like Julia in Children of Men<\/em> (blink during the really fake ping pong ball trick just before her death – such a crappy cgi gimmick should not have been in there to distract from her death).<\/p>\n

Curiously enough, the screenplay is by Canadian Don McKellar, mostly know for hipster projects like Road Kill, Childstar<\/em>, and the Tony award winning The Drowsy Chaperone <\/em>. I’m curious to see how he’s handled Jos\u00e9 Saramago’s novel since he’s been in apocalyptic territory before with his 1998 Sandra Oh sci-drama Last Night<\/em>. Oh and he was in TV’s Robocop<\/em> for an episode, but so was my brother so I won’t mention that one, but it’s nice to know he’s dabbled in respected science fiction, so there’s some promise there.<\/p>\n

Combine all that with the director, Fernando Meirelles (City of Men, The Constant Gardener<\/em>), I have a feeling it’s going to be a smart movie. Like Gattica<\/em>, but without the nice clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
