Season of the Witch... liked it
It's like unicorns vomiting chocolate rainbows all over me as I float through a lollipop garden on a magic carpet.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes. ;-)
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

The Rite....Anthony Hopkins plays the possessed part well, but the rest of the movie blewOriginally posted by OzzieblokeI mean, yeah, sure, there's benefits to a shaved asshole. But get a little sweaty and try and blow a fart. It just sits there like a bubble. No hair to break the seal. Feels weird.

king's speech- good movie, nothing special kinda like an english version of rocky but he's a stuttering english king and apollo creed is a wartime speech. 7/10
black swan- felt cheap too many plot points didn't add up, natalie portman was awesome but the movie was a disjointed mess. . 6/10Last edited by t0adp1p3; Jan 31, 2011, 07:06 PM.

True Grit.
Honestly, I didn't think Jeff Pontoon sunk deep enough into his character. He was great vocally, but physically, he wasn't there. Too healthy-looking to portray someone living a hard life of liquor and hard tack.
Marion Duke did a better job of that because he was actually very unhealthy what with all those impacted feces in his colon.Treat the cause, not the symptom.™JW.ORG

Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” 5) For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice [...]
8) However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.Like 12Bass says, critical thinking and the scientific method are probably the best tools we have to avoid it.

The Hurt Locker - dvd - Wow, really good movie with great acting directing and production with some brilliant tension building, a few of scenes were really really well shot (the shot with the taxi - bombsuit with gun was fantastic) the only thing i didn't like, which i hope gets phased out soon, is the annoying "documentary" style approach to some of the cinematography, its done well but i'm getting sick of seeing it to be honest other than that its really deserving of the awards it won.
I remember last year reading about all the people bitching about its awards win and today i checked imdb out to find people are still bitching over this movie calling it "overrated" and "boring piles of ****" and other insanities, clearly a mental hospital has just got internet access.

So was she crazy to begin with and imagining people messing with her?
or
Was she sane and people were really messing with her?
or
Was she initially sane and driven crazy by the pressure and people messing with her?
or
Was she initially batshiat crazy and was just driven more batshiat crazy because of the pressure and people messing with her.
Either way you slice it, the movie felt contrived and dumb.
and yes i understood she was becoming the black swan.Last edited by t0adp1p3; Feb 1, 2011, 02:39 PM.

It's Kind of a Funny Story.

It was alright. I had higher expectations for some reason. The soundtrack was really good, and the two young chicks in it were both hot.Maybe when I die

Two examples:

How can anyone explain the travesty that is the scene where junky mcbomby goes off-base by himself and has a useless encounter with some random family and returns to his base without getting dead.
May I suggest you familiarize yourself with the situation as it actually exists over there, and I'm no expert.

you got me at what its really like in the iraq situation, i did raise an eyebrow how he got back to base without a real incident but i didn't watch the film for a documentary on realism in war, so i didn't really care too much, i watched it for good filmmaking and story, the character depth is right there (at least with 3 main characters) but i admit its real easy to miss if your brain is turned off.

Decent. Similar storyline to the more popular Knocked Up, but a better movie as far as that genre goes.Maybe when I die

I will sum it up like this:
Yes, I know she had mental health issues ( it was made abundantly clear in the first scene on the subway that I felt like he hit me with a very large very dumb hammer).
That being said, he did not convey the mental health issues in a unique or interesting manner at all during the movie (hey look I just ate myself out. or did i? huh?..mmmk.. yeah). He also muddied up his point unnecessarily and in a somewhat contrived way by having so many other characters display aberrant behavior with a hey was that real or not in your face I am a cool director attitude.
Last but not least could we have one more poorly thought out stereotypical character in the movie? The plays director, Winona Ryder's character, Mila Kunis's character all so very stereotypical that webster is having a hard time determining which one to put in the dictionary under stereotypical. The movie should have 50% of any score it gets deducted for having a sterotypical douche like that director in it, but at least he made up for it by not being able to act at all.
The movie was dumb, required no thought, held no surprises, and was only saved by shots of portman in her underwear, portmans acting ability, and people who think they are so refined that they think they are the only ones who can see the connection between swan lake and this dumb movie and are the only ones who can appreciate the "art" of it.Last edited by t0adp1p3; Feb 2, 2011, 02:20 PM.
