The Chemical Brothers - Hanna OSThanna:the movie - this was a very schizophrenic movie watching experience for me. on the one hand there were wonderful moments of stylization and technical prowess that had my inner cinephile tickled. on the other hand i cared little about what was actually happened in the movie, found most of the action sequences tedious, and found cate blanchett obnoxious (as usual). if you wanted to be positive you could say that as far as modern holywood action movies go, this was very good. but i'm not the positive type. the shallowness of a majority of the films shows even the better parts for what they really are, flashy bullshit and allusions to much better movies.
hanna:the soundtrack - the music is probably the most memorable thing about the movie and in parts i think it really lifts the material up. i've always been medium on the brothers o' chemical, but in this case they do a wonderful job of combining the fairy tale aspects of the movie with more traditional action movie music and in a sense create a microcosm for what the movie seems to be attempting that is much more successful.
