Decoding Source Code

In case the title didn't clue you in on the matter, then I'll just come out and say that this entry contains plenty of spoilers on the movie Source Code [2011].

Now, the movie wasn't that complex, and the production crew tied up whatever loose ends rather neatly while leaving little room for multiple endings. But that is only if you take the movie at face value. Maybe that was their intent, and maybe I was just reading too much into it. But if you like the movie, and you like to discuss it further, then you've come to the right place.

What's the Deal with Sucker Punch?

A Sucker Punch Analysis
Love it or hate it, it's all out in the open now. Was it everything you hoped it would be? I certainly walked away feeling satisfied. But chances are, the lingering question roaming atop of everyone's mind by now must be, "What's the deal with all that?"

Was it purely an eye candy? Or was there some subliminal messages for the audience to spot?

Such thoughts are not unfounded, I must say. I don't know what director Zack Snyder was going for when he wrote and directed the movie, and I certainly don't have any Hollywood insiders cluing me on the matter.

Just a reminder, I suggest you don't read on unless you've seen the movie first, and you're willing to read into it just a little bit more.

Complaints About Five Movies (By People Who are Completely Missing the Point)

For someone who isn't too prejudicial when it comes to movies, I must confess that I am a little sick of mediocre movies being hailed as the greatest movies ever. For example, there was this one time I was driving and I heard one of the DJ from Hitz.fm tout Transformers [2007] as the best movie ever. I scoffed loudly even though there was no one around to hear me. But I eventually understood why he said that when I actually saw the movie.

Now, I am not suggesting that the average movie-goers are idiots. What I am saying is that plenty just couldn't be bothered to appreciate movies as anything more than just something to go on for dates, or to simply pass the time, and worst of all, to brag about how up-to-date they are. All these people need are unfunny comedies, movies with explosions, some gratuitous cleavage and perhaps some offensive stereotypes thrown into the mix.

Which is why it's hard when film-makers try to get clever, and they were met with blank stares followed by questions like;
