    • I'm looking forward to Django Unchained opening next week ... but goddamn does Quentin make a fool of himself here



      "This is a commercial for MY MOVIE!" ... "I'm shutting your butt down"

      My favourite director, but he comes off like a real douchebag here.

        I agree he's a great director but every anecdotal story I've read/heard about him makes him out to be a real douchebag. If it looks like yada yada.

        • Young Adult with Charlize is AWESOME. She's not only a beauty but she's so funny and mean in this movie.

            Agreed, one of my favorite movies of 2011. The story was very authentic as well - successful big city girl goes back to her hometown to win back her high school sweetheart only to find out not everyone's impressed by her big city attitude. Charlize was perfect and Patton Oswalt was awesome as usual even though he's not really playing a comic role.

                  Jumped on the Young Adult RJ lovefest last night. Spoilers: [I liked that fact that there was this whole alternative sub-narrative where the whole town was worried about her and/or talking about her. She thought she was quietly infiltrating the relationship, and in fact everyone is watching her. I also like the fact that it didn't resolve for her character (delusional people like that don't usually change), which is probably also the reason why I've never heard of this movie before now ... she is the only one who thought it was a happy ending.] Nice.

                    FB, JB, Overkill, Johnny etc - these are people that I usually agree with on movies but wow
                    I hated Young Adult - self indulgent (and yes I get that it is supposed to be narcissistic) but boring - UGH - I just hated it.

                      The ending raised it above the norm for me ... made you think back at everything that happened in the movie (from the time she revealed her plans to Asian friend) and realize there was a completely different story running alongside it. Subtle in a way you don't expect from these kinds of movies. Spoiler: [plus I totally expected a happy ending, and got a strange unhappy/delusional happy ending]

                      I didn't really find it that funny. It's a movie about depression, anxiety, desperation and alcoholism masquerading as a rom-com ... home-wrecker-com. I think CT nailed all of these facets.

                      • The Raid / The Raid Redemption - mega non-stop action. Definitely regret not catching it in the cinema. It was very impressive, but without the big screen / cinema experience, I got a bit bored with the constant action. If you love eastern action cinema this is an all time classic ... if not, it's a decent all-action yarn.

                          I didnt go in thinking it was going to be a comedy, in some ways it reminded me a lot of "Trees Lounge", Steve Buscemi's directorial debut

                          • i watched silver linings playbook yesterday. i guess it's a sneaky chick flick. but it works because de niro is a philadelphia eagles fan. i like bradley cooper movies cause it's like he narrates during them. and then i walk around the next day talking to myself like bradley cooper.

                              Silver Linings Playbook - good flick, big upgrade from usual chick fare

                              Lincoln - three hour civics lesson. Yawn.

                              Django -- this film rocks, Christoph Walz is awesome

                                LOl...yeah, that's my felling about "Lincoln" as well. I really don't care how well done it is, it's just not the type of subject matter that I go in for. Plus, WTF was DDL doing with that totally annoying voice? Is there some historian that discovered that Abe sounded like a whiny old woman?
