Ah man. I LOOOOVE Attack The Block. Really looking foward to the sequel. Not sure how anything relating to aliens in the hood could be considered predictable.

Yeah I liked it too. That what got me to reading the books.

a pitty he didn't continue to play la stat

in the qween of the damned...

i don't like changes, and it was bad enough goin

away from the book to the movie.

if these movie weere done in animation

(cg) they could better stay on the TRUE

story line...

READ THE BOOKS

the vampire chronicles

are well worth the price.

ESSPEACIALLY if you like history.

He was too old by then nobody would have bought it. Weren't people hating him by then, I forgot when he started jumping on couches? I'd probably never watched it in anime. The color and texture of the film were part of it's overall appeal. Interview with the Vampire was the best book. Anne definitely does her research, which made the other books worthwhile.

Cute movie, but very predictable...3.5/5

I'm only halfway through (it was one of those I started watching while I was doing stuff around the house to prepare for Christmas)- but so far, it's alright, about a 3/ , and great if you're in the mood for a dysfunctional family drama with an indie feel- runs along in a similar vein as movies like "Palindrome", "The Ice Storm", "Little Miss Sunshine" or even the Showtime movie I posted earlier "Good Fences".

INTENSE!!

Very well done and acted. I only wonder if I'm getting to old for this sort of "brutal" film. Lawd.

I find my self asking myself as of late "Do I really need to subject myself to this?"

That said... 4 of 5

While a lot of shots were quite beautiful...in the end it felt a bit obnoxious and I wanted to poke my eyes out with knitting needles.

2 of 5

This was me earlier this morning;

Me: "Kids, let's go to the movies!"
KDZ: "Yeah!"

Me: "Wanna go see Mission Impossible?"

KDZ: "Nah."

Me: "Wanna go see TinTin?"

KDZ: "Nah."

Me: "How about I Bought A Zoo?"

KDZ: "Nope."

Me: "Uhm...you don't want to go see the Chipmunks, right?"

KDZ: "Yay! Yay! The Chipmunks!"

Me:

I fell asleep midway through it. Can't really rate it.

Giving a movie a rating is like giving it an oscar: meaningless

I'll just say: watch this (if you dont mind subtitiles, dialogue, "foreigners"

and a - very much - leading lady). I loved it.

Have you heard of Amazon, Google or Netflix?

They all make money letting people rate what they know.

RottenTomatoes, a movie rating/review site is very reliable. For me, and certainly millions of others.

I guess I'm offended because such a statement is so uninformed.

We watched "F/X" last night. That's a great movie!

BTW, when I look at the stuff Sextonseven watches, I feel very, very inadequate!

I saw 'F/X' in the theater when it was released. I thought it was very underrated.

It's still enjoyable to watch.

Good movie, great acting! 4/5

I LOVED "Revolutionary Road." As a kid, I thouht the '50s were like "Leave it to Beaver," but as I matured and learned about history and life generally, it's apparent that a LOT of stuff was happening and brewing in the '50s. And in suburban life and in "perfect" homes even today.

The acting is brilliant.

A companion type movie would be "Pleasantville."

And since Leo was in "Revolutionary Road," I'm reminded of "Inception," which I've seen about 5 times now because was recently on repeat on HBO.

That's my go-to resource to get the skinny on movie releases.

I think it would be closer to 'Far From Heaven' than 'Pleasantville.'

I haven't seen it though but have seen 'Pleasantville' and 'Far From Heaven.'

I saw Tin Tin on Saturday: 4 stars

I saw Mission Impossible 4 yesterday: 3 stars.

The Gruffalo's Child. It was shown on BBC on Christmas day. It's the sequel to The Gruffalo & is based on a children's book by Julia Donaldson. If you have children, they will absolutely love this, especially if they already know the book. It's filled with rhyme & repetition & it is just wonderful!

Or this one has subtitles:

The Eclipse (1962) - striving for human connection in a world that seems still to some and too fast-paced to others. beautifully shot & acted, but drags a bit long. 4/5

Just finished, enjoyed it very much. Love these quite movies that go at a slower pace.

7.5/10

Awesome! I watched The Gruffalo last year in my quest to see as many Oscar nominated movies, docs and shorts as I could before the show. I knew nothing about it and totally fell for it. So glad to know there's a sequel, and I wouldn't have if you hadn't posted this.

I watched Page Eight today, which was bound to at least be decent unless everyone in the cast forgot how to act (Rachel Weisz, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, Judy Davis, Ewen Bremmer, Ralph Fiennes, Alice Krige). Thankfully, it was better than decent. Very British in its pace and tone. But it did this interesting thing with the storytelling where it kept doing little loops back on itself. A lot of movies have done that with larger loops, or one big one, where they tell you something major and then work back to how it happened. Well this movie kept assuming that you knew why something had just happened, or was currently happening, and then five minutes later you would realize why you knew it. Hard to explain, but it worked very well for me. Unfortunately, not the greatest, most believable ending, but still a really fun watch (and its only 90 minutes, which actually felt a bit short because I liked all the characters). I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

5/5!!!!

Awesome awesome movie!!! Saw it with my parents. My mom used to read the stories of TinTin when she was young. I used to watch the cartoon series..

The animation was AMAZING!!! Almost didn't feel like an animated movie. And the adventure....

The things found in dreams!

Only thing that kinda messed me off is...I remember TinTin's dog's name was "Milou". They changed his name to "Snowey" in the film. Don't know what's up with that. Also...I thought it was mostly french cartoon (since the creator is Belgic) , while the theme in the movie makes it British. But oh well, I still loved it and I can't WAIT for the next movie.

Bring on the adventure!!!!

animation

story

loved it!!

The Dubai scenes made it worthwhile.

The "nuclear-terrorist-about-to-destroy-the-world" plot was done better by James Bond back in the 80's.

I saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday. I was on my phone texting and reading what's on the Org half way through.

I watched some movie with Kevin Bacon in it yesterday... He was married and his son got killed in a gang intitation so he killed the guy and then got in a gang war with them... I cant remember the title, but it was a decent movie...

Watched the new Planet of the Apes this last weekend... meh... I didnt hate it...

2.3/5 it wasn't great but it was fun for being sick, bundling up and just watching something that zany without logic. I even wore those old fashion 3D glasses that came with it.

Ooooo, that's out now on DVD? Great. I messed around and missed it at the theatres.

Melancholia (2011) - Typical Lars von Trier downer about a pair of sisters facing the end of the world. There is a lot to like about this film in terms of imagery, mood and overall sense of style, but ultimately, it left me a little cold. 1/2 (out of five)

Finally saw this. Its not my favorite by him by a long shot, but I still liked it. Excellent performances by both Dunst & Gainsbourg. But after Antichrist I was expecting something a bit more overt. This was metaphorical but oddly still straight to the point. Antichrist he allowed himself to go a bit into Lynch-land in terms of the dreamlike psychological interpretive openness of the finale. I agree with your rating though, 3 1/2-4 stars is what I'd give it too.

So you like the brutal stuff, eh?

Nooowwww I know why you kinda wanted to see A Serbian Film! Well if you haven't seen it, that's about as brutal as you can possibly get on film. I think the warning on the streaming site where you can watch it said something like "you've been warned, if you choose to watch it then you're on your own and god help you"

I'm too chicken to watch the brutal movies. I have to be in a really dark Scorpion mood to watch the hard stuff that's especially wrenching.

I watched the Swedish version of The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, but with english dub on streaming last night. Not bad -3/5- gonna watch the next one in the series tonight.

I loved this movie for the reasons you didn't, but it still felt a bit off for some reason. I'd agree that it isn't his best, but I was pleased that he was trying something so different.
