treeduck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hotel Transylvania. It was okay, but I fell asleep and missed the last 30 minutes and didn't really care. My kid liked it though. ParaNorman is better. I think I fell asleep in that one too... :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/RMkGdqz.jpg Pretty good stuff. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Stand_up_guys_poster.jpg This one is a little like the 1986 flick "Tough Guys" but here we have Christopher Walken, Al Pacino and Alan Arkin instead of Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Eli Wallach. The plot is different but the set-up and characters are very similar. This new one is better though, better story, a little more depth, it's funnier and probably better performances from this veteran trio. Tough Guys was a pretty fun film though, I'll have to watch that one again at some point for a comparison. The music is pretty good too, some cool soul songs, and the guitar-driven score is by Lyle Workman who I'm a fan of. The only low point is the Golden Globe nominated Bon Jovi tune. I suppose I shouldn't complain though that nomination is probably the reason I got to see such a good quality copy of this so soon. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/ParaNorman_poster.jpg Nice and spooky!

Paranorman was my least favorite of the Halloween tripe...frankenweenie was the best of the fare IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's on my laptop since Lionsgate thought they could get some nods for Walken and Pacino. Zero Dark Thirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/I_am_legend_teaser.jpg This is terrible! Give me The Omega Man any day of the week. Will Smith is awful, as is the script. Between the two of them the writer and Smith manage to turn the character of Robert Neville into an annoying, idiotic big baby obsessed with Shrek! Smith overacts like a damn fool! Pulling faces, shouting, raving, arguing with dummies and unfortunately the dummies steal every scene from him! Charlton Heston must have puked when he saw this and Richard Matheson too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Here's what I said on RT: "3/5 stars" A disturbing film, and one that touches on a sensitive subject, especially for Japan given their suicide demographics... I was personally irked by the movie at times. The suspense in this film was executed well, and the juxtaposed concept of a hip pop band encouraging suicide was interesting. There were some loose ends that failed to be tied, and while I was interested with the film throughout, I was dissatisfied with the ending. There might have been something I missed, but I'm pretty certain that all in all this movie wasn't good at - or interested in - providing a solid explanation.

I'm wondering if the impression you took away was intentional by the filmmaker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time I couldn't help but critique the hell out of it. The reggae wasn't the problem. One problem I had was how powerful those mutants/zombies/whatever were...turning over SUVs and scaling buildings barehanded in a few seconds?! WTF?! How?! Another MAJOR problem I had was Will Smith as a geneticist. I've never liked him as an actor but he's more believable as a cop, a cocky pilot, a drunk superhero, or as a (fresh) prince. I've said it before in another thread: Denzel Washington (if the moviemakers really felt they needed a black guy in the lead role that is) would've been way more believable as the lonely, intelligent scientist who can survive and kick ass.

These points and what I said earlier about his performance are why I can't take him seriously beyond jokey Fresh Prince kind of roles. I agree on Denzel too he'd have been more believable as a scientist and just better as that kind of character. I think Will has lots of fans so he gets these big roles, money talks.

All feature in this decent cop thriller. Stephen Dorff is underrated, probably because he's signed up for so many shit films over the years. This one isn't bad though.
