Today I saw CAPOTE. Well-made. Beautifully acted. Left me feeling like crap. Movie before this, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Beautifully made. Exquisitely acted. Ditto.
The last time I had fun at the movies was SERENITY. Last movie I loved, and I love most of them, this article to the contrary, was UNFINISHED LIFE which bombed.
Either I --
- Am out of touch with the mainstream.
- Have appalling taste in film.
- Don't know anything.
you dont have bad taste in movies or are out of touch. i told loni why u didnt like capote n she said that no movie is perfect n i started to name some that i thought were nearly perfect n they were 'Wait Until Dark', 'White Hunter, Black Heart', 'Psycho', 'It Happened One Night', 'Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte' & 'Baby Jane', 'Rear Window' 'Usual Suspects', 'LA Confidential', Donnie Darko', 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Harvey','12 monkeys', 'Double Indemnity', 'Strangers on a Train', 'Key Largo', 'Predator':D,
ReplyDeleteThats all i can get off of the top of my head, n is what i told loni. then i realized that the majority of them were b&w movies. ergo: movies now just mostly suck, theres nothing wrong with us.
I don't think most movies suck. I've just had a run of downers.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good list. The script to USUAL SUSPECTS was a fun read. That doesn't happen all that often.
Predator!?! What about ALIEN :P
Theres still some good ones yes. yea ok 'alien & aliens', n heres some more 'die hard'(go shane black:D), 'batman 1 & batman begins' 'bridge over river kwai', 'Raiders of Lost Ark', 'Star Wars', 'Stalag 17', 'Great Escape', 'Wizard of Oz', 'Se7en', The Big Sleep', 'Dr. Strangelove?', 'The Sting', 'African Queen', 'Neverending Story', 'Princess Bride', 'Chinatown', 'Life is Beautiful', 'Cuckoos Nest'
