Film 302/365, Day 328/365 – Surrogates

Not completely unbelievable and very interesting.  What if like in games like Second Life and World of Warcraft where you can customise your avatar you could customise a robot and live your life through that?  You could appear however you wanted, it would quite literally change lives.  But is that really you?  Raise some very interesting ideas.

Synopsis:  In the future most of mankind no longer ventures outside of their homes, instead they use surrogates to go about their daily lives.  Surrogates are a customizable robot that they are able to control using only their minds.  But when two people and their surrogates are killed a cop must venture out into the world without his surrogate to get to the bottom of things.

Film 80/365, Day 83/365 – Pitch Black

Pitch Black gives rise to the greatest anti-hero of all time in the form of Riddick.  Like this film Vin Diesel kicks ass from start to finish.  It is packed full of non-stop action with probably the simplest of stories, a group of strangers are thrown into a dangerous scenario which gets more and more dangerous until their only hope is possibly the most dangerous of all!

Synopsis: Dangerous fugitive Riddick has been captured by a bounty hunter and is on being transported to a prison planet when the space ship is caught in the tail of a comet causing it to crash onto a lifeless desert planet.  When the three suns are eclipsed another danger comes out from beneath the sand.
