Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Watching Gravity for the story or who's in it is exactly like watching fireworks for the story or because you know the pyrotechnician.

I watched a doc on Thirty Seconds From Mars called Artifact on Palladia tonite.  I wasn't a fan of the band beforehand (although I've heard their music and it's not bad) but I have to say I enjoyed the story.  They were fighting a corporate colossus that was intent on grinding them into dust and ended up beating them at their own game.

The Place Beyond the Pines - Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes...decent movie.

Bad Words - Awful. You can see what they're trying to do and it doesn't work on any level. Bateman just isn't that type of character. They try to do a Bad Santa relationship with him and the Indian kid and it just fails miserably.

I liked place beyond the pines but couldn't tell you why

[Rome]

Um Eva Mendes maybe cause that's all I got for that horrible POS movie.

lol...yeah it was absolutely horrific

I watched Snowpiercer.  I was on board until whatever the last 15 mins were.

lol

my plan for tomorrow was to see either that or boyhood

[Eagles_Legendz]

I want to see boyhood.  So many people were talking about snowpiercer that I decided to see it.   Interesting visuals / political satire.  Won't comment on the ending obviously but I think there were better ways they could have gone than what they elected.

yeah both are getting thru the roof reviews....especially boyhood....im not sure I can ever remember a film that's gotten better write ups

[MDS]

boyhood reviews/buzz are insane

i dont know why they are releasing it now, though. seems like an oscar bait movie. by the time december rolls around it will be good and buried. remember the movie wallace from the wire was in last year? fruitvale station? great reviews...great buzz...DOA come oscar time because it might as well have been made in 2001

[ice grillin you]

boyhood would never win an oscar so its irrelevant when its released

[MDS]

the hurt locker and crash have won best pictures in the last decade

with the right buzz and right campaign anything can happen

I frequent rottentomatoes and metacritic a decent amount and it's average rating (9.4!) is the highest I have ever seen.

[ice grillin you]

did you seriously just compare crash to boyhood

crash is pretty much the golden child of the academy

hurt locker also cant be remotely compared to boyhood

how did tree of life do at the oscars
