It's pretty much overrated.Not a fan of this movieit is usually flattering when someone compares you a movie actor. when i was in my high school years, i got a lot of "you look like the guy 'harold and maude'". i didn't see the film until later in college and i wasn't happy. now, in retrospect, i am rather okay with it.Harold and Maude - In a desert island situation this movie would definitely make my top 5 comedy list and possibly make my top 5 overall films. It is so intelligently written and thoughtful that it holds up to scrutiny even after 40 years. I don't know much about the other films by the five actresses who were nominated for Oscars (except for Fonda in Klute, meh) but I am continually shocked that Ruth Gordon wasn't even nominated. She is brilliant in this role and at 75 years old she is positively radiant and brings so much energy and life to her role that even the hardest heart would have to be captivated by her. When contrasted against Bud Cort who capably portrays the goth archetype with a straight faced melancholy and a subtle humor I can't imagine anyone not being charmed by the brilliance of this classic dramedy.

The kissing scene was fine but having the girl wearing so much makeup basically the entire film, even in the tub, was a bit creepy.A little bit, but yes, overall the story was touching and funny. My favorite of his is still The Royal Tenenbaums. It's in my top 3 films.Yeah, there's a scene with the kids in underwear, and I felt weird, too.I never know what to expect going into a Wes Anderson film. It's really dependant on my mood but I generally like them, my favorite being Steve Zissou. I really liked Moonrise Kingdom. It was a bit uncomfortable at times though with the girl being just a kid. The story was very touching though.Loved itMoonrise Kingdom:
I am 50/50 on Wes Anderson so I thought I'd give it a shot, and I think I am just done trying. Beautifully shot and kinda 'cute' but overall I wasn't enjoying my experience. I think I liked it slightly better than his last two films, but that is not saying a lot.![]()
lol. I was making fun... this has been ongoing for a while, with ongoing posts about it.I just started a new thread about this in the Website Questions forum.Is anybody else having a problem with the white corner, or is it just me. Just me, right?
Oh yeah... I caught that on cable recently late night. Not bad- better than I expected, although a bit goofy at the end.Just watched Black Death. Decent movie about the plague and religion. You get to see Ned stark up against the red priestess.
I figured you were joking. I have seen comments on the issue but no solutions and Kool Aid Larry put the task of finding a solution on me and I take that responsibility with all the gravity it deserves.lol.

Would also put Tenebaums in my top tier of favorites. I think Anderson's best work came when he had Owen Wilson as his co-writer. Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, and The Royal Tenebaums. I have yet to give Moonrise Kingdom a chance because his previous few movies fell a bit flat for me. If I didn't really care for Life Aquatic or Darjeeling, is this going to be my cup of tea?'SmoovySmoov said:A little bit, but yes, overall the story was touching and funny.

Good movie. I describe it as, "fly-addled."Just watched The Proposition for the first time today (I know... I'm late to the game with this one). Beautifully shot with striking violence. I thought the music was a bit odd for the style of the movie but somehow it worked.

Eternal SunshineThe Truman ShowI'm not sure why I waited so long to see this. It might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
I thought of that but I liked this more.Eternal SunshineThe Truman ShowI'm not sure why I waited so long to see this. It might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
End of WatchEasily my favorite movie of the year so far. 9/10.

I love this movie. I can't turn it off when I find it on. Watched Limitless last night. Kind of a waste of time.The Truman ShowI'm not sure why I waited so long to see this. It might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
Peter Weir usually makes good films. This is no exception.The Truman ShowI'm not sure why I waited so long to see this. It might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
Sandler's movies are meant to be funny? I didn't realize.That's My Boy- Sandler and Samburg. While I don't remember his specific age (believe it's 14 or 15), Sandler's character as a kid knocks up his teacher. Fast forward to now, Sandler is a bum who burned through his publicity money and now owes back taxes or will go to jail. Estranged from his son, he goes to him to try and talk him into doing a sleazy tv show on a jailhouse reunion with the mom/teacher to get the money to pay off the tax collector. Funniest Sandler movie since Happy Gilmore. Laughed my ### off. Hilarious bit of Rex Ryan as Sandler's lawyer going on about being a big Patriots/Brady/Belichick fan. 4/5

Verbatim.Peter Weir usually makes good films. This is no exception.The Truman ShowI'm not sure why I waited so long to see this. It might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
I liked everything in this but Stiffler- and I usually like him. Seemed miscast here. Also didn't care about any love story in this- but I get that it's not much without it. Basically, it's Slapshot but not quite as good. Still loved the Russian dudes breaking the GKs balls and his reactions.Caught up on a few movies this weekend.
Goon - It took my brain a little while to adjust to Stiffler not playing the role of an egotistical hot-head, but once I got used to that I enjoyed it. It's not really a comedy, though it does have some pretty funny parts. 7/10

I'm just saying the movie is borderline terrible and most of the reviews in here seem to think it's an underrated gem. Stifler's performance is more handicapped then goonish.Ah.

big-screen, as much or more than 3d, will make it different and better IMO.Question:I don't have kids, know nothing of kids movies. I am dating someone who has 3 kids, and one of the girls wants to see Monsters Inc in 3D, which comes out in a few weeks. Part of her B-Day present. We are taking all 3 kids. I didn't know this movie has been out for 10 years, and is only returning to the theatres because it's now in 3D. The kids have seen it numerous times already. Is it unfair to say it is a waste to take them since they've seen it a bunch of times already? Will the 3D experience make it THAT much better/different?

Nightmare Before Christmas. Holds up pretty well after all these years.
Kidnap the santy clause songI think 3-D is more money for a product that isn't a lot better. I just avoid 3-D moviesQuestion:I don't have kids, know nothing of kids movies.
