What's so good about Burn After Reading?
I haven't had any desire to see that movie. Posted via Mobile Device |

Milk definitely worth watching. Changling was ho-hum and too long. I haven't seen Yes Man.

Milk is a very solid film. Sean Penn, though, is impossibly, crazy-good in it. He's fantastic.

You can watch the documentary on Harvey Milk on hulu.com. From the previews, it sounds like Penn kinda puts the stereotypical gay lisp on, when in reality, Milk sounded like a regular adult male. The documentary is really good.

I didn't think that Penn sounded like some gay archetype or anything.

That's not a critique of his acting ability either. I might see the movie on campus on the 18th - they are having a showing somewhere. Last edited by Jenson71; 04-14-2009 at 06:27 PM.. |

Okay, I saw Milk. Reaper, I change my mind on what I said earlier.

I actually enjoyed Seven Pounds, but I enjoy doomed characters, whether it's The Machinist or even the hamartia of Tin Cup.

I would have if it wasn't so manipulative with people. Will Smith was good in it but easy to call and manipulative = disaster for me.

Where do you think it veered from narrative to didactic manipulation?

I rented the new Day The Earth Stood Still last night.
Ugh. What a piece of shit. Lame story, lame ending. Sort of reminded me of Deep Impact, in that they showcased EVERY cool CGI scene in the commercials so there was nothing else in the film itself that surprised. And while I generally don't dog on Keanu Reeves just to do it, he was awful in this movie. Like Arnold in the second Conan movie awful. AND WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO JENNIFER CONNELLY'S BOOBS? Did she get them surgically removed or something? Oh, the humanity. Thank God it only cost me $4, but I'll miss the brain cells that died. |
