Movie Tab II

At least the bad rating of Hausu made Skepsis appear out of no where
Right. Maybe if I talk about how I feel about that film he will make his way back to the forum, because I think he way overrated it.

Big guilty pleasure for me. You see any redeeming qualities?
A little bit of decent action and most all the repellent characters got killed (but not soon enough ).

I never would have predicted it was that that was going to bring me out of hibernation.

I will set a hungry piano upon anyone who says a bad word against that movie. If our favourites lists were 11 movies long Hausu would probably be on mine.

If you get in here and start posting again, I'll give it another go. I won't like it, but I'll give it another go.

I think you definitely need some predilection towards enjoying stuff that's bizarre just for the sake of being bizarre. At least that's why I enjoy it. But yes you should give it another crack for sure.

skepsiiiiiiiiiiis!!!!!!!
'ello.






Need to start cranking out some of these big name 50's films. I enjoyed this quite a bit. I wasn't surprised to learn this is the same director who did Bicycle Thieves. The themes are very similar. The story is told well and is very affecting. I like this a bit more than Bicycle Thieves I think. The cinematography is very good compared to that film in my opinion. Good watch. Don't know if it will make my 50's list but it has a shot for sure.



"the beginning" in my opinion this film is class






I have been looking forward to this one for a couple of weeks. I really like the characters all around. The story is solid as well. Most of my problems with the film, which aren't many, are from a script standpoint. I found that many times the dialogue didn't flow naturally, like the characters were speaking the themes towards the audience rather than naturally interacting with the other characters. For instance, there is a point when Kyle first meets Lucy when he tells her as they are just walking together that he has a tendency to drink too much. He is still trying to impress this woman, there is no context for him saying it. He says it fir our benefit only. There are a few other moments like this, and it is a bit distracting. Another thing I really dislike that seems to happen often in older movies is when two people fall in love within a few hours of meeting each other. It almost immediately takes me out of the movie.

Overall I did like this film a good amount. I was just oping to love it like a few others around here have.

A 1 for Hunger Games? I've not seen it, but that still seems quite low.
Well an truly a "nothing film" with no real qualities or talking points to note, which I seem to be noticing more of recently. Does nothing interesting cinematically, unoriginal/predictable plot (silly ending), typical acting for these films, visually dark/dull, world was uninteresting, said nothing and didn't explore social aspect or anything etc.

Vampires was a bit silly, but it was still entertaining and had some certain redeeming values. I liked some of the macho monologues from James Wood which reminded me of something Tarantino would write, I enjoyed Sheryl Lee in her role too. Okay, there was nothing great, and it was a bit silly, but it was watchable and at times fun.
