How you react to something completely unimaginable happening? Would you break down, become nihilistic, carry on as normal or believe in the strength of the human spirit? Perfect Sense aims to answer that question.
LRA writes: For this weeks episode we start out by discussing the inherent lack of the third dimension in the recent 3D re-release of the craptacular Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace which leads into other topics such as when James discovers his inner hatred for George Lucas and the Star Wars franchise in general, whether or not George Lucas' neck makes money off of cancer, my journey to see the final scene in The Grey, if stopping people from leaving the theater before the credits are over is considered creepy and finally my thoughts on the new romance/doomsday movie Perfect Sense. Then James and myself discuss how we came to the realization that while we both saw the same flaws and strengths in the new Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds action movie Safe House somehow we had completely different opinions on the quality of the film overall. Featured music this week is from the "Safe House" motion picture soundtrack and the artist Jay-Z.
A fable that confronts us with a scenario that may not be likely or even possible but still has the power to register emotionally.

What would happen if we not only lost our ability to communicate with the world around us, but with the people in our life, in the most basic, fundamental way? That's the question at the heart of David Mackenzie's "Perfect Sense." Starring Eva Green and Ewan McGregor, the story follows the promising new relationship between two young lovers, just as a virus is sweeping the Earth, one that causes those infected to lose their senses gradually, one at at time. And as that ability to interact with the world and one another diminshes, the methods that remain to communicate become all the more vital and important.
I like Eva Green a lot and her accent so when she does a movie I expect her to be using it. I'm sure she'll be doing that in Dark Shadows but sometimes it required that they change it.
