  • @patb - I don't disagree. I think it's good to explore, and I try to do that all the time. I wouldn't even want to only watch, listen to, or read stuff that I fully expect to like, I love discovering something unexpected. A year ago I went to see…
  • He wants to direct? Interesting. I know he isn't an actor for fame and self-promotion and all that, and doesn't feel comfortable about that sort of stuff, but he doesn't need to. One doesn't have to go around the late night chat show circuit, or sel…
  • I find the title of this thread somewhat confusing. Why should a person be embarrassed about not having seen this or that movie? Most of you aren't anyway, are you? (You merely mention stuff you haven't seen.) Nor should you be. There is no point in…
  • Tree Of Life (2011)... Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn... Well, it's a Terrence Malick movie, and it's beautiful; the biggest star here is probably Emmanuel Lubezki and I guess with Malick's other most recent films, too. Not as much yet with …

  • If the movie is big then a supporting role would probably indeed be a better idea than a lead, but if the movie(s) is(are) small or middle-sized then could be lead(s) as well.

  • I'm unable to bitch since I've seen so few of the nominees/winners. ;) I was very pleased Interstellar got the visual effects oscar even though I hadn't seen the competition. :) I wanted it to get the original score oscar, too, I loved it, and De…
  • The Imitation Game This was entertaining, interesting, educational, fun, serious and emotional. Well paced, directed, edited and acted. A very good night at the movies. Warmly recommended. When asked about a detail in a scene in Out Of the Fur…

  • DaltonCraig007 wrote: » Gangs of New York The film starts great, then about an hour everything almost stops, it really drags and then picks up at the epic battle in the end. Dicaprio was good but overshadowed by the other actors, including the maj…

  • Bloody hell, wtf just happened to my post? Never had a post mostly disappear like that, and I wasn't even trying to post it yet. Do I need to write the whole gawddamned thing again? Seesh... Will ponder that a bit... --- Ok, pondered. I had a …
  • I generally don't pay attention to actors'/filmmakers' personal lives. It's not that I'd be fine with whatever skeletons if I knew, but that I just don't know - at all in most cases, and also I feel I can't have an op
  • The Game (1997), directed by David Fincher. Well, they can't all be brilliant (his previous film - Seven - was great and the one after this - Fight Club - I just love and never tire of watching). This might be my least fave Fincher movie, but it's o…

  • Henry V (1989), directed by Kenneth Branagh, starring mostly Kenneth Branagh, also Derek Jacobi, Ian Holm, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson, Christian Bale. Too... Shakespearean for me, hard for me to follow the text, and Branagh is just not interesting en…

  • Wild (2014), directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, whose Dallas Buyers Club a year earlier I loved, so it was his name that first got me interested in this. Starring Reese Witherspoon, whom I like anyway, and who is good here - as is Laura Dern. I did like …

  • Ungh. I wasn't exactly excited about this in the first place, sounded bad to begin with. Watched one trailer, and it looked like absolutely useless crap. Guess I'll check out the movie some day when it's on tv or something, and I can't think of anyt…
