[FILM] Zodiac

Saw this film tonight at a local movie-house. It is
directed by David Fincher, Esq, best known as the helmsman
of 'Fight Club', the vastly overrated film starring Bradley
Pitt and that other fellow.

Anyway, apart from a sagging middle section, I found this
film to be fairly engrossing, and attentive.

Main themes: attention-seeking, forensic investigation of a
serial killer.

It's not flashy at all... it's a talkie.

that's a shame, then, since i'm a purist who only watches
silent films.

"That other fellow" is a very talented actor: Edward Norton.

I'm sure it's very "dark".

he's the mark hammill of the modern age: was in a popular
film and consequently worshipped by the deluded fans of said
film. in reality he can't act his way out of a nutsack, and
his mumbling annoys me to no end.

saw this in the theatre, really enjoyed it.

Living in the Bay Area it was awsome to see it represented
retroactivley in the movie. San Francisco was basically just
as much a character in the film as any of the leads. And
theres something about the way the offices for the Chronicle
looked that struck a deep chord of nostalgia with me. I mean
I was born in '84 but that's still how stuff looked when I
was a really little kid.

Good writing and characters as well.

Wow, yeah, that must be awesome.. It was really great period
setting, too; nothing overtly stereotyping (see: Forrest
Gump) about the period(s) it was set in.

I've never been to San Francisco but I got a real feel for
the place, especially the period. Whether it was in any way
close to the reality is obviously up to those who know the
place to judge.

I thought the film was liberated from having to have the
cops nail the killer. Recommmended.

C'mon, he was great in Primal Fear, Rounders and American
History X. I think he's made some pretty crap role choices
recently though.
