You're the first person I've heard that didn't like WALL-E.

This is on a 5 star scale. If a movie rates at least 2 stars with me then it's worth a rental. There aren't too many movies I regret watching.

What Happens in Vegas

Made of Honor

Baby Mama

All three are very predictable but what movie isn't nowadays?

But you gave it a 6 out of 10. That's positive!

Anxiety said:

As good as the segment with Cate Blanchett looks, and even though I'm a Dylan fan, I don't think I could bear watching that.

I saw a clip - from the Blanchett segment - where a reporter calls Dylan on his bullshit. Is there much of that in the flick?

Ace said:

the movie gets a little tedious in its first half hour or so...at first, you're playing along with the puzzle of how this is a movie about bob dylan and how these people are supposed to be representing him. certain aspects are easier to decode than others. for me, when the puzzle started to get really tiring and exasperating, cate blanchett's segments blew in like a gust of fresh air and kicked a second wind into the film. i thought her performance was a hoot, whether you know or like or care about dylan or not. i'm kinda "eh" about dylan myself, but in terms of a film about pop culture and the iconization of pop stars, i thought it was a really interesting meditation on a very famous (and famously cagey) figure.

Anxiety said:

But is there much challenging of Dylan's pretension? Or is that bit an anomaly?

Ace said:

i think it kind of works around it. i think it's more of a deconstruction of cult of personality in general than it is a dylan wankfest.

sextonseven said:

very true, I just could not keep my eye's open any longer.

I rarely go to the movie theater and when I do, it's usually the Film Form so the last two films I saw on the big screen were:

Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress, and the Tangerine:

Godard's Masculin Féminin:


Last three dvds:

The Thin Blue Line

Le Cercle Rouge

Superfly (The second star is only because of the soundtrack.)

the wackness -

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - 1/2

Sex & The City -

Young Frankenstein
Hancock
Wanted 1/2

Then She Found Me 1/2
Sex and the City 1/2 Not a fan of the show, but it was alright without knowing all about the show. I might watch an eppy once in awhile.
Iron Man Just saw it yesterday and totally didn't expect to like it. Oh and Robert Downey Jr.

3:10 to Yuma - A bit slow at first but got better and better as it went on. Russell Crowe is always enjoyable. 8/10

16 Blocks - Fantastic movie, one I'd gladly watch again. Great plot, great ending and great acting. Loved it. 10/10

Assault on Precinct 13 - Not that good, enjoyable and Lawrence Fishburne was awesome. 6/10

Rambo 4 1/2 It was a good action film, straight to the point, no fucking around with useless story and pointless character building, some parts were a bit silly like the knock back that the guys take when being shot by the 50cal sniper rifle but still it was good fun

And the first person I heard that gave Iron Man top score...
but hurray for taste!

Hard Candy! Man that movie was full on, way more intense than Trainspotting was

Scoop - awful Johanson, Allen's humor hit and miss. Even so, quite enjoyable. 2 of 5.




Irina Palm - wonderful, wonderful experience. 4 of 5.

PS I Love you - hum. strange for a romantic comedy.
Many weak, far fetched points in the story line.
Yet still I did enjoy the movie...
possibly solely because of Gerard Butler.
2 of 5

Get Smart - very funny, loved it!

Hancock - and a half. not bad, but not great

Wanted - omg that's one of the worst movies i've ever seen!

We saw Zohan on the weekend....stupid but quite funny

The Ruins - 3.5/5 Better than i expected and pretty effective.
Curse Of The Black Scorpion - 3/5 Chinese drama with Zhang Ziyi. Beautiful but kinda hollow.
The Machine Girl - 3/5 Absolutely insane low budget Japanese revenge flick.
