Anyone seen a good movie lately?

god damnit i loved the descendants. clooney was marvelous. 4/5

i also saw the help a week ago. it was so forgettable that i forgot i even saw it. rome/5

 

Still haven't seen The Descendants.  I honestly haven't heard a bad thing about it. 

Has anyone seen The Artist?  I went back a few pages and couldn't find anything.  Just curious.

how do you hate sideways and think the descendants was marvelous....i thought sideways was easily better but even if you didnt theres no way one can be horrible and the other great....they are the same type of movie

i also like election a lot.

granted i saw sideways 10 years ago or whenever it came out, and probably owe it a rewatch, but it was about these horrible middle aged people smugging their way through wine country. i didnt like those people, the setting, anything about them.

the descendants actually made me feel something.

i enjoyed both movies but i liked sideways better cause it was hilarious and giamatti is amazing....

the humorous side of the descendants fell totally flat and i never felt like i wasnt watching george clooney...its a problem he has in most of his movies but it shined even more so in that one

saw the descendants and can honestly say it was one of my favorite movies ever. so great. everything about it was spot on, the casting, the acting, the story, the music. i spent a majority of two hours teary eyed like a god damn woman and am not embarrassed about it. i don't know what could have been better, in my opinion it seriously might be a perfect movie.

and sideways was mediocre at best.

A teary eyed Matty= Proof that he is made out of GOD

i saw decendants the other day and I am far from the feeling matty got from this film. although the storyline and acting was good I thought it was a very slow movie.

also if you have gone through something similar in life with a loved one i can see how you could be really drawn to it, but since I didnt its probably why it never caught me like that like some other good movies have. ive also been known to catch a few tears to movies that call for it, but there was no real emotional connection to the characters.

couldnt agree more...it was one of those movvies that you thought at any time was gonna grab you by the throat and make you feel....but it never once got there....and as i mentioned before the main reason for this is because you never saw george clooney as the devastatedm father in the story....you always saw him as farging george clooney....i half expected stacy keibler to come walking down the beach at one point...his performance was so detached imo

[ice grillin you]

drive - classic throwback movie...in the mold of a tax driver or french connection....wish they made more films like this these days rather than brain numbing super hero shtein and thoughtless sequels...along with take shelter this movie is easily the best of 2011

8/10

it was the best option at redbox so i decided to splurge the 1.30 and see it

i liked it a lot but it felt very disjointed. kind of like it was 3 or 4 different movies. like ryan gosling is this mild mannered guy who secretly is a getaway driver. then he meets the girl. an hour later is he is curb stomping the farg out of a guy in an elevator.

where was taxi driver was the slow and methodical unraveling of a lunatic, the jump from quiet loner dude to violent killer seemed really sudden. and also kinda questionable, considering he was doing it all for a girl he just met.

other than that a fun watch even though the director is total eurotrash. 3/5

saw Ides of March this weekend, it was a well made movie that i pretty much forgot about when it was over.  the plot was predictable but the performances were good.

marissa tome is still wreckable, which is nice.

the movie wasnt like taxi driver it was in the style of how movies were made during the time taxi driver came out....its definitely not a movie your generation would find all that great...but from where i come it was a breath of fresh air from the garbage thats usually out there....in the same vein as michael clayton

[MDS]

my favorite movie is fast and the furious vs. the tokyo drift so obviously anything not like that is going to be terrible to me

[rjs246]

Sideways and Michael Clayton were boring, well made, pieces of shtein.

I still plan on seeing The Descendants.

End transmission.
