Sanjay’s Super Team (Sanjay Patel, 2015) Imdb Date Watched: 11/29/15 Cinema or Home: Cinema (with Funny Face) Reason For Watching: It’s Pixar Rewatch: No This is the short that appears before The Good Dinosaur. Like the feature that follows it, Sanjay’s Super Team is entertaining and at times quite touching, but there’s nothing particularly original in its premise or themes. * * * http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walt...oddinosaur.gif The Good Dinosaur (Peter Sohn, 2015) Imdb Date Watched: 11/29/15 Cinema or Home: Cinema (with Funny Face) Reason For Watching: It’s Pixar Rewatch: No Ever since seeing the trailer for this film, I’ve had my reservations about it. The scenery in the film is hyper-realistic and breathtakingly gorgeous, but the characters – particularly the main dinosaur Arlo – are very cartoonish in design. I found this clash of styles to be rather distracting. The film also suffers from a rather uninspired story and clichéd plot devices (orphaned protagonists, anyone?). Still, there’s enough humor and enough heart here to make for a very watchable but not especially memorable film. |

I'm expecting a lot of bitchiness in this thread, or I will be sorely disappointed. :)

-Pokes in-
I'm curious to see what you'll tend to watch leading into the new year. |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
That's pretty much what i've been hearing about The Good Dinosaur, looks great but has an uninspired story. Still looking forward to it though.

MV, it is good to see that you've started one, though, and I will be following along. |

Whiplash (Damien Chazelle, 2014) Imdb Date Watched: 12/04/15 Cinema or Home: Home Reason For Watching: It was available on Starz Play Rewatch: No I'd heard nothing but great things about this film and, in particular, about the performance of J.K. Simmons. There's no doubt that Simmons deserves this praise. His performance is phenomenal. Fletcher's intensity and volcanic temper are riveting. He's so unlikable that he's almost likable. Andrew Neiman, on the other hand, I found totally unlikable and because of this, I struggled to connect with the film. I suppose I was meant to respect his drive, but he was far too self centered and arrogant for me to care. Still, there's more than enough in what Simmons has to offer to make for a compelling and very watchable film. I just don't know if it's something I'll revisit. - |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
I'm surprised you gave Whiplash 4 stars even with that criticism of the main character. I'm glad you liked it though.

Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
Like Zotis I'm surprised you've rated it so well given what you've written about the film. Not that I think you've under or over rated it, I've not seen it,
|
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
Simmons was just that good.
|
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
That's kind of what I figured.
|
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
I gave it the same rating MV, one of the best from last year. It's picking at gnats, but I think you are supposed to geel exactly the way you did about Nieman. So whether that is a strike against or not is up to the viewer. Empathy can't always be our entry point.
