I keep thinking it was being ironic ... The Day After Tomorrow was basically the same movie (same Director), but without as much stupidity. -
watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again tonight. i think it's a fantastic movie and arguably jim carrey's best.
am in the middle of watching The Grey. most unexceelent, IMHO..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?" Albert HofmannComment

i did like the plane crash. but everything after that was unconvincing to me. maybe i just wasn't in the right mood. i found the story uncompelling, and the wolves weren't particularly believable...Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostI thought The Grey was pretty good ... and that the first half was the best part

I agree with you. I am not sure exactly how, but I came a way with the feelings that it could have been so much more.Originally posted by bryanbutler View PostComment

Just saw this yesterday. It's not in the same league as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, but it's just below them. I enjoyed it. If you like Wes Anderson films, you'll like this, if you don't, you won't.Originally posted by overkill94 View PostOriginally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

Yep, it was a movie whose initial impact was so powerful because of how realistic it was...and then over the course of the movie is just became more and more far-fetched, culminating with the completely unbelievable scene near the end. If they had stuck with a series of events that actually could have transpired it would have maintained its momentum IMO. That being said, the plane crash scene alone was worth the price of admission.Originally posted by Gregg View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

Hmmm, I never thought to compare The Grey (as far as likeability) with 2012 until I saw them together in this thread. Both had some good special effects moments, both were pretty bad movies. If I had to pick one to watch again, I would pick 2012. That is not saying much.Originally posted by DMT View PostComment

Well, finally got around to seeing Seven Psychopaths and I loved it almost as much as In Bruges. Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson are both hilarious as the true psychopaths and Walken had some funny parts as well. Colin Farrell did a good job of keeping things somewhat grounded and I loved the movie about a movie plot (not surprisingly, Adaptation is one of my favorite movies of all-time).
Hoping to pick up The Perks of Being a Wallflower today at Blockbuster, otherwise it'll finally be time to see Looper.Comment

I have "In Bruges" sitting on my tv shelf right now"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Die Hard 5 ... or whatever ... sucks so bad it's almost funny..
2/10 ... deserves 1/10 but I'll bump it a point for destroying more cars in a car chase than I've ever seen before.
So bad.Comment

Just saw Looper and loved it. Reminded me of Children of Men with time travel added.
The thing about it is, the stuff about time travel and dystopia are window dressing*. They're vehicles to make points about selfishness and sacrifice.
* -- The filmmaker even acknowlegdes that time travel is incidental to the story by having Bruce Willis say that how it all works is "cloudy."Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment
