Day 6

A quiet day, except for the monumental fuck-up due to the no cellphones policy during the Star Trek movie. It involved a frisk, possible deposit, then a retrieve, this added to the moronic BIFFF policy of using the less direct way to the exit meant that everything went on an hour late. I'll tackle the miserable inanity of copyright, DRM and un-real rights in another post, I am too tired for a rant.

• Star Trek

Quite good, for a Star Trek. Better than the last ones at any rate, which isn't saying much.
Nothing else to say really. I guess there is more if you are a Star Trek fan, which I am not.

• Flawless

A reverse Thomas Crown.
Adequate, great casting, obvious plot.

• Death Bell

Another teenagers trapped in school movie. Lacks knee high socks and killing beams.
While this movie is fair enough to me, it is quite culturally specific: it has to do with a foreign school system, with its own customs and idiosyncrasies. Furthermore, most of the plot revolves around language oriented enigmas, so it is no surprise that most of them were lost on the audience, despite an adequate English translation (except that I suspect that most people do not know what a PTA is), and a fair but not good enough French translation (which I suspect to be a translation of the English translation itself).
Well made, but doesn't bring anything new and quite boring, mainly due to the cultural gap.

• Deadgirl

Your usual dumb and sex-starved teenagers find out a chained woman in the local abandoned psychiatric hospital cellar. With such a beginning, things cannot go wrong. They may have been better, but it was good enough.
