Re: 21st Hall of Fame

My votes and ratings (1-2 was really tight but gave edge to my own nom based on rewatch value, and 4-7 were pretty tight as well):

#01: Pretty Baby (1978) 4
#02: Dark City (1998) 4
#03: Quills...

The Tree of Life (2011)

Hello there. I wasn't expecting to see you.

My tastes don't align with Malick's vision, but I do respect him for both his technical skill and staying true to his...

I had to re-read what I had written after this because that's exactly my main issue with the ending as well. I'm pretty sure it falls under the "pathetic response" even though I didn't specify it any...

Jagten (2012)
aka The Hunt

Sometimes living up to expectations can be an issue. I've meant to watch The Hunt for a long time, but I was kind of worried that I already knew how the film...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Just finished The Tree of Life so I'm done watching all the films. I still need to write two (or more like one and a half) reviews and finish ordering my ballot. Like The Hunt, Malick's film was...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Watched The Hunt today. As usual, full review in a few days but let's say that the film was very much as I expected; a depressingly accurate depiction of the stupidity of an average person. I'll save...

Quills (2000)

A historical character as controversial and notorious as Marquis de Sade is a difficult subject for a modern mainstream movie. Kaufman approaches this dilemma from a safe...

Pride (2014)

Off to gulag now

I don't like to sound like a broken record, but I'm annoyed by films that come out as preachy. Having a message is fine, but shouting it from a pedestal...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Despite not having written even my previous review yet, I watched Quills today. I will try to get the writeups done soonish. Oh, and I thought Quills was at least OK, maybe even good.

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

After taking a break for a couple of days, I finished Pride today. While I didn't end up hating it as much as I initially thought, I certainly didn't like it. I'll be giving some reasons and other...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Started Pride today. The first session only took me like 40 minutes into the film. This one's going to feel long :bored:

Wedding Crashers (2005)

"He's a homo."

To honor the most formulaic film this far in this HoF, I'll break my formula and start with the positives. There's a 15-20 minutes period around...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Just watched Wedding Crashers. Proper review in couple of days but it's pretty safe to say that I didn't much like it.

As I said, I'd probably have to be American to fully appreciate these. I have no doubts that stuff like that happens but it's hard to relate to it when one's own experiences are so different.

I'm quite sure that I've already mentioned how I find the rigid, non-mixing cliques of US high school films odd and hard to relate. My high school experience...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who didn't care too much about Being There. I also watched The Breakfast Club today and didn't care that much about it either. Specifics in a review coming soon to a...

Moonstruck (1987)

I'm not a fan of romantic comedies. Considering that Moonstruck wasn't nearly as painful experience as I feared. It's not exaggeratedly sweet, and most of the characters...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Also watched the film I expected to hate and considered the most probable candidate for the last spot on my ballot, Moonstruck. If that's going to be the worst this HoF has to offer, I'm pleased as...

Dark City (1998)

Dark City is a unique film. It's like a neo-noir version of Matrix (but done one year earlier) with a stylistic resemblance to Jeunet and even the old German...

Re: 21st Hall of Fame

Watched Dark City today. It was better than I remembered (upgraded from OK to good, maybe even very good). And the DC beginning is so much better than the theatrical one was. Again, a full review...

The introduction part of The 120 Days of Sodom is brilliant. Rest of what's finished is way too repetitive but there are some chuckle-worthy things in there as well. The only other book by him I've...
