Conceived and executed as crap. Mixed reviews. I watched and thought it was dreadful.

Anxiety said:

'Pulp Fiction' was good. It was just what it was supposed to be.

'There Will be Blood' I retitled, 'There Will Be Snores'. That was a one note movie. Great performance by Daniel Day Lewis wasted.

just what it was supposed to be FOR YOU. and that's great. FOR YOU.

meanwhile: i hated it.

Anxiety said:

Me too. Actually, I've never had enough interest to make it through the whole thing when I see it's on.

I've never managed to watch all of Reservoir Dogs or The Usual Suspects yet.

I'm not even coming over now.

Only if you join Facebook.

meow85 said:

ha! I've never made it through that one either.

And while I'm at it, I've never really liked "The Wizard of Oz" for some reason. I just think it's cheesy.

Sideways.....

Same. Add Lost In Translation to that list.

I ve read the trilogy 3 times in different languages
A lot of young people don´t have the concentration span to read books with very few pictures.
They´ll sooner settle to let someone else do the imagining

JustErin said:

This was critically acclaimed? I thought the critics slamed this one back when it came out. I like it myself, I can't get over watching Jessie from "Saved By The Bell" get freaky.

That was "Showgirls"

oh now, see, i LOVE that movie.

but i love it exactly because it DOES suck so bad.

SUPRMAN said:

On the contrary, Moulin Rouge got a 78% positive rating on rottentomatoes.com and eight Oscar nominations. Sounds like mostly positive reviews to me.

Maybe I'll just come see you instead. I'll bring my Blow Up DVD.

I hated this movie as a kid (fuckin' flying monkeys!! )....but when I was firing up different varieties of shrubbery as a teen and young adult....WOW!!!

great movie.....

minneapolisgenius said:

co-sign. Even considering that it's meant as a family film and the standards of the time it was made, I just don't think it's all that good. As far as old-as-crap kids' movies go, I'll take Snow White over The Wizard of Oz anyday.

ZombieKitten said:

I like those movies, I dunno maybe it's a guy movie (any ladies out there like reservoir dogs and the usual suspects???)

meow85 said:

Yep. All that over-acting by the whole cast just gets so annoying to me that I barely make it to the end. Don't get me wrong, I love classic films, but this one has just never done anything for me.

minneapolisgenius said:

Yup.

I know a lot of people hate it, but I much prefer Return to Oz. It has the oogy weirdness that was intended for the story, and none of the syrupy cuteness the older movie had.


On a similar note, I can't stand the older Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -incorrectly titled Willy Wonka. Considering the source material, it's way too fluffy and precious. I know a lot of people have fond childhood memories of this version, but it really is terrible. Roald Dahl himself hated it, and for the exact reasons I don't happen to like it. While Tim Burton's Charlie isn't without flaws either, it's a more faithful interpretation. Dahl was not about writing sugar cuteness, he was about writing how dark and weird childhood can be.

meow85 said:

I saw Willy Wonka once when I was around 10 maybe. It didn't do anything for me. I much prefer Charlie and The Chocolate Factory also.

sextonseven said:

Though I see why it made sense to act Willy the way Depp did, I still think the Michael Jackson-esque portrayal was a bit of an odd choice. And the Wonka's dad backstory was probably unneccessary. Still, it's a pity Roald Dahl didn't get to live to see a different take on Charlie. I think he might have liked this one.
