Just saw Catfish, was hyped up to be a great docu/thriller

thought it was pretty boring with little twists or shock value

A Christmas Story Not just a great Christmas movie, but a great movie. Reminds us of what it was like to be a kid at Christmas. It is as close to perfect as a movie can get. Yes, it's THAT good. 4.9999999/5

Watch it every year. Classic.

Oh Fuuuuuuuudge.

Still have never watched this or It's a Wonderful Life.

Me neither, maybe next year.

(although I've been saying that for about 15 years now)

Still have never watched this or It's a Wonderful Life.

They're both fantastic movies- seriously.Wonderful life gets a lot of grief for being overplayed and a bit shmaltzy... but it's a fantastic movie in every aspect.

Watched both, hated both. A BIT schmaltzy?

I just have this feeling that Christmas Story is one of those that's more about the nostalgia. Basically if you haven't been watching it since you were a kid you'll think it's crap.

King of Comedy

Props to jdoggy for giving me I needed to bump this to the top of my queue. For some reason I always thought this was a Jerry Lewis biography. Totally unprepared for another dose of mentally unbalanced DeNiro. Nobody plays psycho quite the same way or quite as effective as DeNiro and sometimes seeing his films now you forget that there was a time that he did load up in the effort department. Great stuff, without having to resort to anything cliched or even graphically violent. I really liked After Hours after seeing it recently, but dangnabit, this just might be better. It just has that little something extra that allows me to call it a classic.

4.5/5

KP, definitely add this to your Scorsese list, especially since you enjoyed After Hours.

Sweet I've only seen it once, and this makes me watch to see it again.

It really had me thinking a lot about it today. So hard to pull off black comedy anyway, and I don't think I've ever seen it done quite so well without being profane, vulgar, or mean spirited. I don't know if there is even a curse word in it to tell you the truth. Masterful film making by Scorsese. El Floppo's comment about Jerry Lewis's character being the "true" antagonist of the film is also interesting, it could be perceived both ways.Also liked some of the social commentary it was able to blend in. Rupert Punkin worrying more about the what the show's producers have to say while the FBI is trying to interrogate him was entertaining. The way everyone mispronounced his name was something that would have been right at home in a classic Coen brothers film.

This is like a perfect version of the black comedy that Death to Smoochy was attempting to capture.

Definitely.I'm one of the few that liked The Informant!, and that movie touched on some of the same themes.

 

[jdoggydogg]

The Enforcer

Third Dirty Harry movie. Another one that makes you realize just how much more awesome 70's action movies were then ones released today. Politically incorrect and realistic violence. Still pretty silly and was a fairly big step down from the first two installments. Still a great way to kill couple of hours on a weekend afternoon.

3/5

"You wrecked public property, you shot two suspects, and the mayor wants my job. Do you have anything to say for yourself?!""Yeah. Your mouthwash ain't cuttin' it."

They just can't write characters like this anymore:[to black militant groupies]

Harry Callahan: That's mighty white of you.

Perhaps, but I don't think that's entirely it. I saw a bunch of movies when I was a kid, I wouldn't be able to sit through 10 minutes of 95% of those films now. But when I see A Christmas Story while channel surfing, I can't help but watch it for at least 10-30 minutes, if not more. As far as kid movies go, A Christmas Story deserves an A+ imo.

 

[Osaurus]

A Boy and His Dog - a film starring a young Don Johnson who can communicate with his dog telepathically in a post-apocalyptic world searching for wimmens. Funny bad. 1.5/5

Not sure how to rate this one.

It's a frustrating film but I wonder if that's not the point. You never see the enemy and watching it leads to few answers - but isn't that a reflection of the war itself?

It all felt so...pointless. But that's probably the message.

Maybe reading all of these year end top 10 lists just has me in the list spirit, but I would love to see some lists from some of our own movie experts. Year end lists are out there everywhere already, so maybe we could break our lists into categories.

So, let's have your top 5 holiday movies (does not have to be Christmas).

 

[Socrates11]

I need to add to my A-Team comments.I was a massive fan of the TV show. I still remember getting excited waiting for the season opener after they were shot by a military firing squad in one of the last seasons. Always got a kick out of the opening credits withe Cylon. Overall just liked the show a lot.When I saw that this movie was being made I was upset. No one could be Col. Smith and no one could replace BA. Face and Murdock were almost irreplaceable too, to me, although they are in some senses rather genreal characters that can be redone fairly easily (I wonder if Jim Carrey could have pulled off Murdoch? I digress). So overall I was not looking forward to another one of my childhood favorites being raped by hollywood.The storyline, the stunts and the effects were all current hollywood. I was a little bummed that they made them modern day guys but I guess you have to because Vietnam vets are getting up there in age at this point. At least there wasn't any current political propaganda in there. So overall it was a fun popcorn flick in that regard.The guys they got to play the roles though were really really good. The new Murdoch hit the role perfectly. Couldn't have done it any better. Rampage did a very good BA and they remembered that some of the best lines in the show were between BA and Murdoch. Face was solid although slightly too comical. And Liem Neeson did a very good job as Col. Smith. It didn't feel like they were damaging the charecters in any way.I was pleasantly surprised. I actually watched it 3 times in 2 days to get my money's worth from Comcast and just because it was fun overall. I will be looking forward to a sequel here, which is rare for me.

Just watched this last night and agree with everything you say. This movie was a lot of fun. Respectful of the show but still found it's own voice. It went over the top a few times but not enough to make it painful. The casting was great.

I've been told that before since I don't find many old movies funny at all - Caddyshack, Animal House, Airplane!, etc..

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Wait, you don't find Airplane! funny?

 

[bryhamm]

The Other Guys was a decent comedy. Laughed out loud a handful of times, but for me it was just a tad too corny for repeated viewings. Falls into the 'would watch a couple more times' category. 6/10

Didn't like it very well. 3/10

 

[hooter311]

Tao of Steve

So what if at it's core its a corny romantic comedy? Shows how a fat stoner can get all the chicks he wants by emulating characters Steve McQueen has portrayed. I really enjoyed it.

4/5

Kelly's Heroes

I guess I don't get the comparisons to being a crappier version of the Dirty Dozen formula, this is a straight up treasure hunt. Clint is kind of wasted in an ensemble cast. Sutherland is just a little too goofy as the stoner tank driver. Rickles got funnier as he aged. Telly Salavas was the standout I as Big Joe. Opening and Ending scenes are what to watch it for, the middle just kind of goes by. Ok adventure story, doesn't really hold up against other WW2 stories.

3/5

very much a time and place comedy, i think. captures the 90's slacker-ing of post college in NM pretty well from what i understand.

So aside from unabashedly pandering to our liberal sensibilities, the movie plays to the male adolescent fantasy that if a guy's good looking enough he can get a lesbian to consider switching teams.

Reminds me of Up In The Air. Every scene I've seen of that movie seem fairly mediocre. But it's received so much critical praise, I'll need to see it some time to get an informed opinion.

I'm sure I posted about Up in the Air before (or should have), but it's probably a good comparison. Had no desire to see it until the end-of-year critical praise, and I couldn't be pleasantly surprised due to the build-up, but I did enjoy it though perhaps in a way that I didn't expect. It had some laugh-out-loud funny parts for me, and some actually interesting viewpoints, that I enjoyed despite it being all-in-all a trite premise (esp. the young female character).So maybe I could be please though not overwhelmed by this one. It's on demand on DirecTV now; maybe worth a shot, if only to complain about critical overrating.

 

[krista4]

Random fact about The Town:Rebecca Hall, the female lead (also excellent in Vicky Christina Barcelona) is the daughter of Peter Hall, famed British theater director and the founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company

I saw (and enjoyed) VCB, and I can't believe I didn't realize it was the same actress. Don't know if that's a tribute to her acting prowess or my failing memory. In any case, I think she's really a potential star, and the fact of her genealogy is very interesting.I realized that she also looks a little bit like Rebecca Pidgeon to me, which is about as big a contrast in acting skill as I could imagine.

i'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt, if i had any about this film. cholodenko has made some interesting, character-driven films like "laurel canyon" and "high art". she's not prone to entirely easy answers to these kinds of questions. i don't see any reason to pass on this film simply because of its premise.

Or because of how the trailers are packaged.But I agree with you about the promotional stuff, JD- not so interesting to me.Was Up in the Air the Clooney/Rittman thing? Pretty ok, IMO, but nothing much more.

I think Donal Logue is pretty in everything Ive seen him in - so since I havent seen this but have wanted to, I can imagine its just the same. His show Terriers on FX was probably my favorite new show this year**didnt start watching Boardwalk Empire on DVR yet

Thought it was good enough, middle-of-the-pack Ferrell...Better than his bombs (Semi Pro, Blades of Glory) but not near as good as his nukes (Step Brothers, Old School, Anchorman)5/10

 

[Kenny Powers]

I loved the ending of this movie. There were a lot of ways they could have gone and I applaud Affleck and the writers for this ending.

I thought I had this movie figured out halfway through, but I didnt. It definitely couldve taken many different scenarios, but how they chose everything to unravel felt right, unexpected, and right for how they developed the characters.I also agree Jon Hamm didnt feel right, and surprising Affleck did a good job acting as well.

I dunno, and I think Eisenberg is a very good actor. Black Swan doesnt look all that appealing to me, but also is killing it in these lists. Might have to see that sooner rather than later.

....Now I havent seen Winter's Bone, King's Speech, and a couple other highly acclaimed movies that should be good, But Id wish somebody would just grow some balls and put Inception #1. I dont think Ive seen a list that has it #1 yet, and I am certain that none of these movies will surpass it - for me - including True Grit and The Fighter which I'll probably enjoy more than all the above mentioned anyway.

Really?I mean it was an interesting concept and all...

And would someone please explain why if there is no gravity on level one (van chase shootout on the bridge) there cannot be gravity on level two (Gordon Levitt fighting in the hotel), but even if there is no gravity on level one and/or two there can be gravity on level three (the snow fortress fight)? WTF?

And did all the bad guys get their weapons training from COBRA? They couldn't hit the ocean from the beach.

Sure the ending was interesting, but it was pretty much the most obvious ending possible. Is he or isn't he? Ooooooooooo. Well no ####! What other direction would any film director possibly have chosen to go? Ambiguity was really the only option for an ending.

I like Clooney, so that's a good enough reason for me to see Up in the Air. That said, out of context, the scenes look like convenient, trite fluff dressed up as high philosophy. Fantastic Mr. Fox is another one. Looks pretty lame, but many respected sources tell me it's good.

Inception is not perfect - that's for sure. But i think it's a truly original action film that's deftly directed and features a film score for the ages. That's enough of a reason for me to give it high praise.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Answer Man

A movie from a couple of years ago that seemed to have fallen through the cracks.

Jeff Daniels plays a Deepak Chopra/JD Salinger type author who wrote a famous book on spirituality but is now a grumpy recluse. He injures his back and ends up at a chiropractor played by Lauren Graham. They develop a relationship.

It's not an altogether original premise--you know exactly where it is headed, but Graham and Daniels are such appealing actors that is made the film a worthwhile watch.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Saw Se7en for the first time. Really good story; Morgan Freeman was phenomenal, surprised he wasn't nominated for an Oscar for his performance. Was also surprised to see Kevin Spacey was the "main suspect", had no idea coming in he was in the movie. He plays that creepy/#######/annoying bad guy very well, he makes me want to punch him in the face every time. The ending of that film could have gone a lot of different ways, I think I would have liked it to end slightly differently.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I believe his name was deliberately left off the opening credits.

Didn't even think about that, but now that you mention it I think you're right in that he wasn't listed in the opening credits. Opening credits were pretty cool also.

Inception is not perfect - that's for sure. But i think it's a truly original action film that's deftly directed and features a film score for the ages. That's enough of a reason for me to give it high praise.

I would put Inception at #1 on my list. I agree that some of the rules of the different levels of the dreams seemed a bit inconsistent, but then again so are dreams. However just enjoy it instead of looking for flaws.Also check this link out if you have seen it. It helps ties some lose ends together that you may have missed.
