caulfield12 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 The Kids Are All Right...excellent Red...surprisingly better than I expected, certainly a lot better than Expendables, although that movie had its moment as well Legend of the Guardians....somewhere between so-so and fairly good, from what I read the 3-D experience was what made it worthwhile and I just saw it on a PC Invictus...excellent, it's unfortunate they couldn't do a movie like Gandhi about Mandela though, he's (Morgan Freeman) the central theme of the story, but he doesn't quite carry the movie 100% Still want to see Conviction (H. Swank), 127 Hours, True Grit, The King's Speech, Inside Job, The Black Swan, The Fighter, The Company Men and Blue Valentine....I guess Love and Other Drugs just for gratuitous Anne Hathayway scenes, not unlike that Eva Green movie that was NC-17 way back when. If it's not worth the time to watch LaOD, just warn me. Will also try to wade through Eat Pray Love and Due Date. Has anyone seen Wendy and Lucy (Michelle Williams), A Single Man (Colin Firth), Secretariat or the Diving Bell and the Butterfly? Thumbs up or down?

I just like travel movies....and the Indian/ashram/chanting part was underplayed, which they really had no choice without coming across as totally hokey. Living in Asia, I've never gone to Bali and maybe this gives me more incentive or inducement finally. When I went to Mount Everest/Tibet a couple of months ago, I met a bunch of Indonesians on the trip and they were very kind and welcoming, especially the ones from the Bali/Lombok area of the country. Finally, Richard Jenkins is one of my favorite character actors, and The Visitor one of my all-time faves for underappreciated movies that are nearly great. As far as THE BOOK OF ELI goes, I have seen, I think, probably 90-95% of Denzel Washington's movies since his career began...one of the best actors of his generation, since he was on a tv show called St. Elsewhere. Owen Gleiberman from EW.com had this as the worst movie of the year, and it actually kept my interest for most of the time. I already knew the "twist" going in as well (not unlike 127 Hours, if you can even call it a twist)...it was very similar in feeling to THE ROAD, both of them were watchable but not anything I would care to see again for the rest of my life.

caulfield12 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Why Jonah Hex? That movie's supposed to be one of the worst of the year. Just for Megan Fox? Scott Pilgrim's a bit like a tamer version of Kick-Ass...I like both, about equally, although Pilgrim is definitely more creative/imaginative/humorous.

caulfield12 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Chloe....3.5/4.0 stars, wow, Amanda Seyfreid like you've never seen her b4, in the beginning of the movie, she looks like spitting image of Scarlett Johansson, it's the first time she's really played an "adult" role like Anne Hathaway did at a similar point in her career Chronicles of Narnia....2.50/4 very very blah, missed Peter and Susan's character, this series has gotten progressively worse...the second movie was "okay" but this one just didn't do it for me, the best acting might have been done by a talking mouse and the new snotty English lad was the worst since Jar-Jar Binks Due Date....just a major misfire, 2.25/4.0, laughs were few and far between for me That's two movies (Chloe and The Kids Are All Right) that Julianne Moore was just spot-on....she's an incredible actress, she gets compared to Tilda Swinton sometimes but I think she's even better Edited December 21, 2010 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Black Swan is neurotic, but beautiful at the same time. Portman does an amazing performance as the ballerina trying to hang on to her ultimate dream while psychologically spiraling out of control. There are actually many similarities between Black Swan and Aronofsky's last film, The Wrestler, which was my favorite of 2008. I like the story in the Wrestler better, but Black Swan is aesthetically more impressive (a lot of black/white, with interesting use of mirrors) and the tense nature of the film allows the score to build more effect. **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
