Agreed. I too thought we were in for a ride south starting out.

Re: The Spectacular Now

When I did the snippets I was absolutely careful to make sure it was a complete review, just not 100% of the original. If you wanted all the sordid details you could get it from the site but that...

I was Yoda and, since it's in the rules, it seems to make sense to follow that.

We do hope to spread the word about slashcomment.com and think it's a worthwhile effort but we also realize there's...

Re: The Spectacular Now

I would think that'd be rather obvious. I summarized the review here. I was told it's not acceptable to put up snippets of existing reviews so I didn't do that. However, it defeats the purpose of...

The Spectacular Now

My full review is up on our site and I must say, this is one of the best films I've seen this year. I called it this generation's Love Story.

It's so heart-warming and brilliantly honest and down...

Re: Fruitvale Station

SPOILER ALERT:

I've mentioned a few times that they changed a major fact that really impacted the film and if they were going to change that scene there's little doubt of their ability and desire...

Re: Fruitvale Station

In all honesty, it didn't make me angry and I think that's what they were going for and that's why I didn't find it to be as impressive as others did. I think they portrayed Oscar in a way that made...

Re: Fruitvale Station

They did make him out fairly thug-ish. If anything it worked against the grain of what the narrative was that they seemed to want to portray everywhere else. I gave it a 3.5 out of 5.

Our review of the film is up and I'm posting here mainly because I feel recent events have caused reviews and viewers to become highly wary of saying anything even remotely curious that might raise...

What films represent each major decade?

For example, I was thinking that Top Gun might represent the 80s.

The Godfather or Star Wars represents the 1970s.

Maybe the 60s are covered by The Graduate.

I'm not asking what the best...

Re: The Great Gatsby

I never read the story either and for Dash, the look and sound are incredible. Be sure to see it in a good theater but don't bother with the 3D. Totally unnecessary and likely will even reduce the...

The Great Gatsby

Both reviewers on our site liked this quite a bit. It's getting hammered on Rotten Tomatoes but most of those are railing about it not being true to the book. You'd think these guys have never seen a...

Re: Iron Man 3

We have two reviewers on our site and it was night and day for us. I gave it a 2 (out of 5) and the other reviewer gave it 5 out of 5.

I read the book. Also, since the original documentary is now available on Amazon Prime for free viewing to members, I just watched it. After watching I think it makes my point even more clear.

Another issue like I ran into with 42 for the second time in two films. This film is really a great experience (where 42 was overly dramatic and dull). It's loaded with great messages, great vistas,...

Re: 42 - Or 4 + 2 is Zero

I'm with you. I think they wanted the story without the warts. Tell a superhero story for the masses and leave it at that.

I also was offended at the way this was marketed. The previews use a rap...

Re: Stoker

Frankly, so far it's the best of the 30 or so films I've seen thus far in 2013. It's been a down year but this was a highlight. IF you let the film just happen it'll get under your skin and make you...

Guys, trust me, this one uses every possible angle to give us a vanilla version of everything. Having seen The Blind Side, I can tell you that this isn't (forgive the pun) in the same league as that....
