I know exactly what you mean. But I think because I grew up in the town, I'm extremely biased. And while the disconnection seemed hollow to you, to me, it was something I could easily relate to. It's an odd part of California that I live in, and barring some of the more outrageous snippets, the film was fairly accurate in representing life in the Central Valley.
But I've had a hard on for larry clark/harmony korine films for years. Seeing Gummo on the big screen of a revival theatre when I was a youngster completely blew my mind and started my love of the genre. If it can even be labeled as a genre. I'm rambling. |
I watched Sin City again recently, and I can't stop thinking that Frank Miller made a mistake killing Marv off, he was a brilliant character.
It's probably my favorite movie now, though, cant wait for the sequel. Planet Terror was brilliant, as well. |
Clive Owen ruined sin city.
He's a monotoned emotionless hack. At first I thought it was character driven, but no, he's equally bad in every other movie. Planet Terror was like a Troma movie with higher production values and less comedy. Rubbish. |

Fail. |

Just saw the Golden Compass, it was a waste of time. Made me sick of western fantasy.
|
Yeah my friends asked me to go.
I told them that spending that much money on a movie thats supposed to be shit is not my idea of saving for uni. |
"Bee Movie"
Awful, awful, awful, awful, awful. Awful. |
I saw The Golden Compass today, I actually enjoyed it, despite the fact that I'm going to have to watch the sequels when they come out.
I watched Knocked Up a moment ago, I laughed a lot. |

I saw No Country For Old Men a couple days ago. If any of you want to actually see a movie by adults for adults (as opposed to generic fantasy like The Golden Compass) then make sure you see this. Best Coen brothers movie I've seen in a while.

I just watched The Amityville Horror, and when I finished it was 3:15 AM! LOL!
|
:
Yeah, this was quite the opus. My favorites are Barton Fink and Miller's Crossing, but No Country for Old Men certainly gave them a run for their money. |
Being The literary fag that I am I can't help but criticize Angela's Ashes for missing some of the Key parts of the book, and the bit with the lunar eclipse was fucking stupid, I am sorry but for god's sake.
|
Being of Irish heritage, I can't help but criticize the blacks for being so lazy.
Wait, what? I loved the book, but the movie was a turd. Not even a polished turd. Just a big ole' clinker. |

I liked Raising Arizona!
That being said I think I saw it when I was 7. |
It's certainly not a bad movie. I just don't like it as much as their other films.
|
John Goodman's performance at the climax of Barton Fink still gives me chills to this day.
Raising Arizona was crap. |
Goodman is Satan incarnate. I love it.
|
Watched the requested-for Christmas pressie The Bourne Ultimatum, a film made by children for adults. That's what it says in the blurb anyway. It was very good, it deserves the high-praise it's been getting, even if it's not exactly my sort of film. Too shallow, like.
|
Walk Hard was the biggest suprise from the film industry all year. I liked it and would even buy the soundtrack. :)
|
I recently saw I Am Legend and it was pretty good. It was sad at parts, but overall satisfying.
I also saw Hot Rod recently, and I laughed so hard. I thought the Punch dancing scene was uber hilarious. |
I saw Hot Fuzz the other day. I found it really amusing, especially when they have that big shoot out at the supermarket with the butchers :lol:
|
I just saw The Simpsons Movie. It was really funny especially the ending.
|
:
What about O Brother Where Art Thou? |
i saw The Hogfather today.
Best 4 hours of a film for a long time |
:
"I don't want fop! I'm a Dapper Dan-Man!" Best line in the whole movie. |
Saw Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix.
Rubbish, I hate movies like that. Curse my parents for dragging me there! It was kinda good in some parts though, like 'boys and girls aren't allowed to be 1 meter of each other' or whatever. Just girls and boys huh? Oh don't give me those looks...:tard: bwhaha. And I saw 'Pathfinder' really gory in some -well most- places, but a good movie all the same. |
