Felt this movie was kind-of so-so. It didn't really grab me. I think I just didn't like JGL's character as much as I was supposed to. I really didn't care what happened to him. I was more upset by Deputy Donut than anything that happened with JGL.
Before reading your post and thinking about the responses here for The Master (which I have yet to see), I was going to say I feel like PTA has become increasingly self indulgent. How much I like his movies goes directly in order of release. Hard Eight is my favorite, and I love Boogie Nights as well. I liked Magnolia quite a bit but its where the self indulgence starts to show. Punch Drunk Love was pretty good for what it was, but I have no interest in seeing it again. TWBB has aspects that are no doubt excellent (DDL, cinematography, direction) and thought it was well done overall but Im not sure how much I really enjoyed it aside from DDL and the self indulgence (see 20 minute opening sequence for starters) was part of the reason why. I also have no interest in ever seeing TWBB again. The Master looks like more of the same, but if anything I think I'll still come away thinking it was worth the 1 watch for Phoenix and PSH.'Chaka said:
I really liked this one
I wouldnt call it great or anything, but I thought JGL was good, and his character going from a high school sports star to a socially awkward amnesiac janitor was interesting and made this different. IIRC, the dialogue as well as Jeff Daniels were also good.
Tried rewatching The Master again yesterday. Fell asleep again.
That might be the worst, most offensive movie I've ever seen.'KarmaPolice said:
All Pixar movies are affiliated/written with Disney, no?
The perfect 80's double Sci-fi feature for me would be Robocop and The Running Man.
I find that The Running Man doesn't hold up very well.
Great Stephen King story. Crappy movie.
Great seeing some old favorites on the big screen.
That was my take as well. Wreck It Ralph seemed way too fresh and funny to be a Disney movie, and on the other hand Brave seemed to be just like every other Disney princess movie and didn't feel like a Pixar movie. I really enjoyed Wreck-It Ralph.Wreck-It Ralph - Watched it with my daughter last night. Very Very good. It seems like Disney and Pixar switched souls last year. This seemed more like a Pixar than Disney movie.
Many laughs, but the Or-e-o joke had the both of us
That would be an amazing double feature to see - very jealous theaters around here don't do #### like this.
This passed Crash as the most over-rated Best Picture Oscar.
Terrible.
The opposite of this.
No.
Yes.
No to what
All of it.
Did u review it on here yet? Don't recall seeing it.
The mere mention of Crash makes me angry. I have no idea how any film fan could consider that spank rag of a film anywhere remotely worthy of a comparison with Argo.
And they killed Bin Laden in the version I saw, so I'm not sure what this most important thing is that's missing from the end.
Dumping his body in the water. I guess that wasn't a spoiler seeing as everyone knew what happened.I think that was an important part seeing as it was so controversial. I wonder if any of the people involved were aware what they planned to do with the body, and if any had objections.The mere mention of Crash makes me angry.

Yep, I enjoyed it as well. I give it a 7.5/10.These movies should definitely be watched with subtitles on. Heck, I watch movies like Layer Cake and Snatch with subtitles on. It's English, but it's not MY English.Did you have subtitles on? I did and loved the movie.Coriolanus - Swing and a miss. There is a reason I prefer to read Shakespeare rather than see his plays performed and that is because, unless it is a regular part of your life, the poetic dialogue is all but incomprehensible unless you have time to sit down and digest it. Cramming a ton of iambic pentameter into a semi-fast paced war film serves little purpose but to make it inaccessible and ultimately boring. It took me a good 1/2-2/3 of the film before I had adjusted enough to the dialogue to really start to pick up the nuance of the exchanges and at that point I wasn't about to rewind the whole thing and start over.
However I must acknowledge that despite the fact that I followed only about half of what was spoken Ralph Fiennes is a freaking tremendous actor. After this I am convinced that he could stand up and read the phone book for ten hours and I would be riveted. A couple of the other actors did well with the dialogue, Brian Cox and Vanessa Redgrave, but Fiennes was the only one who was truly convincing in his delivery...even if I wasn't always sure what he was deliveringDoes that make sense?

And both are better than The Artist and Chicago

Hippling here. I think 5 is pretty easily the worst, but compared to most everything else on TV, it's still pretty great. And you get the finale. At no point did I ever consider watching s5 wasted time at all.
I loved II. So stupid, no attempt to hide it or pretend otherwise, Rosario Dawson bouncing on the roof in a tank top. The ending was lame but I laughed all the way through.
Watching each season of The Wire for the first time is like having a baby and cherishing its first few xmas' ....enjoy it while you can, and you will certainly be back to watch it again.Just watched S2 last week. Looking forward to 3 this week.
I'm surprised at your comments. I thought the CIA dude was appropriately cast. I think we assume these interrogators are huge macho dudes, but I'll guess many of them have masters degrees.
Crash was a joke.
Is this true? People actually went on TV and whined about how his body was handled? Those people deserve to be claw hammered. Enough already.It was a FoxNews manufactured controversy.

Agreed. Just watched this and she was pretty uninteresting. She barely had any dialogue in the first 20 minutes of the movie while someone else did all the work. Then she just kind of stared at computers while a bunch of stuff happened around her. Then she had two big scenes, but she mostly hung back and only had a few lines in them. Then she didn't have any dialog for the last 30 minutes of the movie while a bunch of other people did all the work. Then she nodded without saying anything in her biggest moment. Then she cried. The end.'Officer Pete Malloy said:
