Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows - 7/10 Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - 7/10 Both of them were pretty good but had parts where it dragged. Could have been better but still enjoyable.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (American)- Deliberately paced and long and punctuated with brutal sexual violence. Still very powerful and engrossing. 8.5/10 War Horse- First 20 minutes was a slog for me, but my movie going companions found it beautiful. Eventually the story warms up and becomes really well done stuff. The movie is shameless in it's use of pat movie cliches.....but it does them well enough the overall effect is heart warming as intended. 7/10
I am going next week to watch a movie but I'm a bit stuck on which one to pick: TinTin or Mission Impossible 4: GP? *Note: watching with my primary school's best friend*
Also just saw Warhorse, and enjoyed the imagery, but the part of the movie that slowed way down was the part with the girl and grandfather (I usually like my Warhorse movies to have more war or horses in them... . 7/10
Young Adult Saw it last weekend and still thinking about it, Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt really give some award level performances. Really dark dramedy with a strong script from Cody and well directed by Jason Reitman. A
I hope you are not serious...this movie was absolute trash.. over-hyped American patriotism bonus super cheap special effects.. its barely a 4/10 last movie I saw - Cowboys & Aliens 6/10
I wasn't really feeling Juno, that style of writing and dialouge is not my cup of tea but the works of Charlize Theron and Oswalt makes an interesting film, will seek this out soon...
Dialogue is actually a lot less stylized, more straightforward. Cody actually has a few bits were she kind of throws some jabs at her own Juno type dialogue in the film.
Sherlock Holmes - 77/100 Overall-thought is was funnier than the first (loved the shetland pony?-scene), however the ending didn't capture the smoothness of the first. If the movie dragged it was in the second half,..the first half had a great set-up Enjoyable - My only regret was paying $6 for the bad popcorn
we came out with totally different interpretations. I thought the actress who played the older daughter did a fantastic job. I think each minor character had their own moment to shine, from Matthew Lillard's to Judy Greer, even Beau Bridges, and the younger daughter as well. but what isn't plausible about the story? dad's just trying to do right for his family and right the ship. was it the stuff about the land or the wife drama you didn't buy?
Dale and Tucker Vs. Evil - 82%. Very funny, well-executed film. Waiting for Superman - 80%. A lot of good information, but too many long sequences of watching feet walk up stairs made it too long. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 96%. A damn near perfect movie. A part that I laughed at this time that I never noticed before: When Darth Vader is talking to the Emperor's hologram in the asteroid belt chasing Han Solo and the princess. The Emperor says that Luke Skywalker would be "a great asset" to the Dark Side. Darth Morey?
Drive 6/10 Totally overrated and over hype movie of the year. Just a because you're trying to be artsy fartsy pretending to be an intelligent movie turn into a simplistic and totally cliché. Oh look. Over head money shots, slow mode, cool retro music and quiet moments must mean it's an intelligent movie. This is call lazy directing. There's nothing heroic about this guy. It was him who ****ed everything up to start out with. They can't kill him with guns so the tough man try to kill him with a puny knife. There's just so many wrong about this movie that I don't even know where to start or even care to talk more about it.
The movie started fine (loved the opening chase scene) but it took a really bad turn around the time he puts on that mask for no reason. I agree it was overrated
I'm pretty sure it's was the obvious ending is the reason why the movie is getting a high rating from people. It's like let's direct an mediocre movie but we'll cheat and pull this sympathetic ending to pull the audience heart string. I kind of like the approach of the look and sound of the film but when a director is trying too hard to make it look intelligent when it's not with lazy visual and sound and a card board cut out characters is insulting to me.
