Re: Movie Tab II

Straw Dogs is great, a harrowing and thoughtful meditation on machismo.

Gotcha. I can understand anyone disliking her personally. I feel mild disgust and pity for her, myself.

The Canyons is definitely a bad movie. It's just not her bad movie, or Deen's. The blame...

I liked Super alright for the most part, but the ending really hurt it for me. I just don't think that sentimentality belonged... I would've respected it more had it ended on a darker and nastier...

Yeah, Tommy from Jason 5 goes there with a pal for some, uh closure and they accidentally revive him, IIRC. :)

Re: Movie Tab II

And Your Mother Too was great, so real. The narrative was a bit distracting for me but I guess it was meant to add layers to the whole life & death theme. The ending completely changed my viewpoint...

Re: Movie Tab II

You're only disagreeing to the extent that you prefer the glamourization, which is your taste, but that doesn't address the valid points of difference between the two films.

Goodfellas did not glamourize the gangster lifestyle. The narrator glamourized the gangster lifestyle and look where it gets him. There's a reason why the movie changes rhythm during the last act....

Re: Movie Tab II

Bergman, for me, is best watched in an unforced reflective mood, and while I greatly admire his work, I rarely can bring myself to watch two of his films close together. It's overkill. They work best...

I don't think every movie involving WW2 has to be a solemn lament. Inglourious Basterds is first and foremost escapism, and there ain't nothin wrong with that, especially when it's crafted so well....

Oh, I will say one more thing about Set Up: The makers ought to be sued for blatantly ripping off scenes from other movies, eg. the part where Arquette gets beaten in True Romance.

Carry on.
