Movies

[irishjayhawk]

Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

We watched that the other day. Story was pretty good but I thought the voice over work was just wretched.

Well......just look at the actors doing the voice overs. And I'm assuming that half of them were over the top on purpose.

Yep. I'm a big Merril Streep fan too. She kills in almost any movie she's in.

one of the final scenes in Bridges of Madison County completely kills me; I tear up when seeing it. Don't want to give it away to anyone who hasn't seen it, the scene in the rain. Good god.

that, and pretty much the ending.

Don't expect a whole lot.

I might go see Warm Bodies this weekend. Getting good reviews, looks hilarious.

End of Watch was really good.

The bit about the Quincinera in the car had me busting up.

We just saw Warm Bodies as well. Really a pretty good movie with a unique concept. Definitely worth seeing.

Spoiler!

Though I do think they could have added a bit more and played on the fact that the zombies where indeed dead. Maybe had R get run over and be fine or other things like that. But I suppose maybe that would have come across as cheesy.

Was thinking of another with Bob Hoskins and ended up recalling it was "Mona Lisa".

Saw Broken City last night and really liked it. It was very much a Departed-type flick. IMO it wasn't as good as Departed, but definitely worth your time if you like that kind of flick. It seemed like it moved slow, but I think it was important to establish all the working pieces before throwing the plot twists in there.

Anyway, good movie.

Saw Stand Up Guys last night. I thought it was pretty good. Short, but a good story and good acting...

I'm looking forward to that one, its hard to go wrong with that cast as a bunch of aging goodfellas teaming up for one last adventure, atleast thats what i've gleaned from the only trailer i've seen.
