Just watched No Strings Attached the other day. Pretty good movie. Well I was entertained at least.. Could have just been Natalie Portman, though. She is low-key one of the sexiest women in Hollywood. I was literally thinking throughout the entire movie, "It honestly does not make any sense for a woman to be this damn fine!".

Waiting for Superma.n is quite possibly one of the most terrible, disingenuous, and dangerous documentaries that I've ever seen.

I just watched Indy 4 for the second time.
My god... how did this pile of shit get made? I think I already bagged on it in this thread at some point... but, really, how did it get made? Best example of how terrible the dialogue is: Indy is on the train, which is about to depart the station, and Mutt rides up on his bike. He yells to Indy, "Hey Professor!"... jump to the next ridiculous scene where they are in a diner. There mutt is surprised to find out that Indy is a teacher. Who the **** wrote this and missed an obvious inconsistency like that? No point in complaining about the plot, it is atrocious. All that can really be said about this 'film' is that Lucas, and in bigger part, Spielberg really nuked the fridge on this one. Quote:

There are numerous problems with the film, mostly from things/aspects to the problem of education in America that the film doesn't even bother to bring up. We don't see ANY footage of the high-performing public schools. We don't get the acknowledgement that the high-performing charter schools that the film loves are statistically as rare as high-performing public schools. We aren't told that the model schools in the film are funded 2/3rd by private dollars, as if having triple the funding as public schools or all-public charters doesn't make a difference. There is NO responsibility placed on the kids for their own success. There is NO responsibility placed on the parents for their kids' success or failure. The only kids we see in the film from poor neighborhoods are good students with at least one parent that really cares about their kid's education. There is NO footage of the many, many, many students whose parents don't give a single shit about their education, the students whose parents sell or do drugs out of their home, the students who have not been given a reason achieve. It's simply the most dishonest, incomplete documentary I've ever seen. It's a strange combination of a misguided-in-this-instance free-market approach and a bunch of feel-good psuedo-Leftism. |
