you must have really bad taste in movies cause this was an amazing little film. Ryan Gosling has never been better and the first act was PERFECT Maybe you should stick to Transformers or Fast & Furious films cause The Place Beyond the Pines flew way above your head. |

Next you'll be raving about the subtle comedic charm and vast thematic exploration of Gigli.

This weekend I eschewed the typical holiday weekend beginning of summer fare and went for the little movie. I saw Frances Ha. Now generally I am not a huge fan of stories by or about the "true New Yorker." I find that Woody Allen sensibility lazy if you aren't Woody Allen, and even if you are Woody Allen about half the time. Somehow this was able to elevate itself above that derivative space to something pleasant. I liked the characters alot, and the performances were quite good, so anywhere it started to devolve into the typical, for instance the typical New York dinner party scene, Frances would do or say something surprising to bring back the charm.
It was a light hearted comedy with a vintage feel like something I might have seen at the Tivoli at its old location on Westport Road before moving into the Tivoli. Now I will see the F&F6! |

Watched Lincoln. Unfortunately, I didn't care for it. I pretty much had no idea what they were talking about half the time. Guess I'm too stupid lol.

I was really excited for it, and found it flat and boring. I actually enjoyed the tv mini-doc 'Killing Lincoln" better

Seriously though, Pines was great. And it has a 82% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes so obviously you are the one thats in the wrong here. You might have a case of ADHD if you thought it was too long(which it wasnt) or too boring(which it definitely wasnt). The chase scene featuring Gosling was the most intense thing I've seen this year and then there was the tense scene in the woods. You obviously dont know what you're talking about. Now go watch Showgirls |

I haven't seen Pines yet because I always wait for the DVD. I get the impression that the style and pace is like 'The Assassination of Jesse James by Robert Ford' which I very much liked and bought the DVD. Is it something like that?

what i remember most from that movie, isn't the movie itself, but the story around that "unknown" demo song they used and the hunt for the artist: Penny and the Quarters
