Agreed 100%. The action scenes felt forced, and the skiing scenes were added just because Nolan wanted to them in itself - not because it fit the story. It helped the trailers and marketing, but in...

Favorite Christopher Nolan film

Re: Favorite Christopher Nolan film

I will say Inception hasn't aged particularly well. It doesn't get nearly the amount of talk and praise as it did on release.

It was a hybrid of a mind-bender/thriller but with big-budget action...

Re: The Machinist

The plot here is unfortunate. The Fight Club plot twist has been done before, and at that point, the split personality thriller plot is not really any less formulaic than the romantic comedy.

Re: What was the last DVD you bought and why?

I haven't bought any physical movies in nearly 20 years. Physical media repeatedly becoming obsolete kind of ruined the feeling of owning things. DVD replaced VHS. HD replaced 480p DVD's. Now 4K...

Re: Female Beauty We Appreciate

I like all different races, heights, body types, etc.

But I notice I have a thing for Irish girls. Pale skin, freckles, big hazel or blue eyes.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is the most underrated of the bunch. It's story and themes were perhaps too mature for children, yet too cartoonish for adults. And maybe the hunchback as a protagonist...

It seems like the most acclaimed films (TLM, BATB, Aladdin, TLK) are in the earlier half - not necessarily because later films are worse, but the earlier films were more...

Re: Clueless vs. Mean Girls vs. Easy A

I haven't seen Clueless but Easy A and Mean Girls is a tough one to choose.

Mean Girls has more quotable lines, but Easy A has a lot of well-written dialogue. Even if Olive (Stone) is a...

Many movie enthusiasts and critics that reviewed movies from the 70's are male American baby boomers who are particularly interested in the tropes/themes of The Godfather.

Re: How do you review movies on a scale of 1 to 10?

Another point I'd like to add:
Movies add up to a 10. They don't start automatically start at a 10 and get deductions for each flaws.

A movie could be an 8 or 9 out of 10 - not because its...
