from Wikipedia:

Other critics found religious parallels between E.T. and Jesus.[29][30] Andrew Nigels described the story of E.T. as "crucifixion by military science" and "resurrection by love and faith".[31] According to Spielberg biographer Joseph McBride, Universal Studios appealed directly to the Christian market, with a poster reminiscent of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam and a logo reading "Peace".[12] Spielberg answered that he did not intend the film to be a religious parable, joking, "If I ever went to my mother and said, 'Mom, I've made this movie that's a Christian parable,' what do you think she'd say? She has a kosher restaurant on Pico and Doheny in Los Angeles."[

You guys kick ass too.

No, but seriously,
I'm not really into Michael Moore's films.

Yes! Even as a kid I found that movie to be a saccharine overdose.


Others:
I appreciate Blade Runner as a visionary spectacle, but I think the story's uninvolving & I'm always pretty bored by the end of the film.

I've tried watching the Seventh Seal a few times & have always felt nonplussed afterwards, though I'm sure I'm just over my head on this one. I've greatly liked other Bergmans though - Wild Strawberries in particular.

I've developed an intense hatred for trick endings that recast all the events that had occurred in the movie (Usual Suspects, Fight Club). There was a great French slasher movie a year or so back called High Tension that would have been a little masterpiece of the genre in my eyes if it hadn't come with an ending that pretty much nullified everything that was good about the film.

L.A. Confidential was decent, but Kim Basinger should NOT have gotten the best actress Oscar for that....I liked that the acting across the board was "hammy" like the detective movies of the 40's and 50's, but it wasn't groundbreaking...

The Good German

Passion Of The Christ

wasn't that a scheme by mcdonalds to rip off E.T. but done in a cheaper way? It flopped!

ufoclub said:

Yes! The whole thing is one big McDonald's ad.

I seriously love how bad it is.

JustErin said:

If I'm correct (it's been a long time since I've seen mac & me) they had a scene in the movie in which it seems like high school musical, whats that about????

JustErin said:

okay, I'm sold, I'm gonna check it out.

abierman said:

yeah seems unlikely, though the bible has been the ultimate writer's sourcebook since god first released it

Me three! Citizen Kane was 2 hours of dull. But I do think everyone should watch it at least once, if for no other reason than to have a bit of background whenever it's referenced in other movies.

abierman said:

Me neither

I don't see the appeal,,,,and the books sucked big oranges as well.

Driving Ms.Daisy(For obvious reasons,,,,and to top it off, the shit just got a SPECIAL EDITION treatment ).

Sleepless In Seattle(I swear, that annoying broad acts the SAME role over & over,,,,I know I'm not the only one who notices this).

The Colore Purple(Read what Spike Lee had to say,,,,,thats EXACTLY what I feel. And as if the shit wasn't enough the 1st time,,,,they had to make a play based on it. Damn Oprah ).

ALL of Tyler Perry's movies minus How Did I Got Married(In this day & age,,,,excuse me if I don't take kindly to coonery & buffoonery).

The Matrix(Actually, I LOVE the movie and the message that portrays,,,,,I just can't stand bland lifeless ass Keanu "One Expression Man" Reeves. Even Beyonce can act better than him,,,,,fuckin' BEYONCE who has ZERO range).

The Exorcist(I didn't flinch ONCE throughout the whole movie even with the scene where she was stabbing her own pussy with the cross - I could understand why it has such a cult following though).

SUPRMAN said:

that is a serious classic. ALL that happens in one room. All the dynamics stuffed in one place. Incredible.

ZombieKitten said:

it's a mix of most ALL religions.

BobGeorge909 said:

Most definitely!! I was in a grammar school production of this.....I was juror #5...

Was "Moulin Rouge" critically acclaimed or was it always considered crap?

God I can't even get through it.

It's a Wonderful Life

I don't have a whole lot of patience for these kinds of maudlin, sentimental Christmas movies.

minneapolisgenius said:

I wonder how "Australia" will fare

minneapolisgenius said:

I own the DVD. And the soundtrack. I'll make sure to hide them when you come over.

ZombieKitten said:

It's getting early critical acclaim and some Oscar buzz. Whether audiences will go for it is another matter.

sextonseven said:

when Nicole Kidman was on Oprah, her feet were purple
I already dislike the movie, and it hasn't even opened here yet I think

ZombieKitten said:

I just checked on rottentomatoes and reviews are actually mixed. My bad. All the negative nancys must have jumped on board late.

It opens here tomorrow.

ZombieKitten said:

If it's actually about Aussies, then I know I already don't like it, either.
...goddamn, bloody moth-munchers.

TheMightyCelestial said:

you should feel sorry for me! I have to live here amongst them!!!

pulp fiction.

and while i think technically it was beautifully done and very nice to look at, i left "there will be blood" feeling absolutely nothing at all about anything. i wanted to walk out of that movie with some kind of message or internal debate or question, but no. i was just kinda - i think i was hungry for a chunky bar.
