Cinema

Since my wife has been away, I've been recording and watching the bad movies I've missed over the years but wanted to see. Last night, I found a true gem, if gem means formulaic action pablum with not one, but two Oscar winners as the lead actors. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in Virtuosity. This movie is somewhat a precursor to the Matrix, except is sucks. Russell Crowe, or more properly "Sid 6.7", is a "genetic algorithm" of mass murderers that escapes from a computer into a "nano android", and since he's made of silicon, he can naturally regenerate from any damage by absorbing glass. The one image I can't shake from my mind is Russell Crowe speeding down the road in a police car after ramming a series of vehicles, and scooping up handfuls of broken windshield glass and then eating them. Any way, the warning for the movie is: Rated R for strong futuristic violence, some brutal beatings and some language Remember, eating broken glass is "futuristic violence".
