What's Eating Gilbert Grape-i've been meaning to watch this for so many years and i finally did! it was really good....but quite sad....great acting by Johnny Depp as usual! it was a film that showed a lot about people's character and responsibility.....a great all around film!
 
I get what your saying. :nod:

For me, it was just another point of view of something that could have/did happen during the war.

But throughout the movie, I was honestly more focused on the sounds the family might hear from the camp, concern for the boy in the camp was more on my mind.

Of course, I did not see the ending that did happen, coming. It was a bit of a shock.

But at the same time, it made me think of all the other movies that have been made about the war at that time. Like Schindler's List, The Pianist, and both of those focus on a centered character and their effect or role during the war.

With The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, I felt like it was showing the innocence of the children and how even in war, their friendship could not be broken. It was different perspective of what could go on and what did, but even so, I don't think the 'story of the war' is lost.

I'm rambling now, so hopefully that made sense!
 
Triangle is the one with Colin Farrell, right? I want to see it so badly.

I liked Sideways because while the characters are unlikeable, they're true to life in many ways. The movie can be slow for sure, though.



She was! :nod: Viggo Mortensen was supposed to be in it as well but dropped out. Basically, I've been waiting forever to watch this (mostly because of Viggo's previous involvement). It wasn't bad, though. The performances were great. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the worst criminal ever and is a lot of fun (except when he's you know, being too much a criminal). Heh.
 
Bright Star - OMG. This movie is seriously perfect. There are so many things in it that I love. The cinematography was beyond gorgeous, like a moving portrait. :sigh:
 
I'm not a fan of the series at all, but I admit the return of the king was very nice and touching as well. I didn't expect to like it.
 
Zombieland - I found it to be one of those good nothing films really. Like nothing really happens but there's a few laughs so it was ok overall.
 
wasn't that a great film?....it gave a whole new meaning to having a vampire as your best friend....




i've watched 6 films in theaters since i've last visited this board...but i'll only mention one in this post...

today....the newest film by todd solondz....('welcome to the dollhouse' 'happiness' 'storytelling' 'palindromes')

'life during wartime'

a sequel to 'happiness' (which is a misnomer...because it's not a very happy movie...it's rather dark)...it takes up 10 years later....with most of the original cast playing different roles, but the same characters that were in the first film...the movie begins with the release of one them from prison for child molestation.....the underlying theme of this film is forgiveness....my only compaint is i wish i'd rewatched 'happiness' before seeing this newer film to refresh my memory....as to the things that were going on with the characters.....

My Best Friends Girl - Not much to say really, average rom-com really. Few good laughs.
 
It just felt similar to all those other crime/serial killer dramas of the 90s. :shrug:

The Last Song could have been a lot better, but it had some cute moments.
 
^^^ What did you think of it?

The New Daughter - Starring Kevin Coster, Ivana Baquero (Ophelia in Pan's Labyrinth).

This was not as great as it could have been, it was slow, predictable and just boring in parts.
 
XIII {Part 1}

It seems to have been a mini-series that was on TV :shrug: am watching the first part on TV
 
Remember Me - Much better than I was expecting. The trailer really tries to sell you the romantic relationship between the two main characters, but honestly, I found that dynamic to be the least interesting out of all the rest.
 
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas It is a good movie but I have some problems with it. [sp]You know, I'm sure that many people felt pity for the Nazi boy instead of the jews in the camp. And that's my problem. Of course it's because of his father's fault and his fellas that there is even a camp. But I don't need a movie like that to realize that WWII was a terrible thing. That's the whole thing with this movie. I mean La vita e bella did the same thing trying to show how terrible war is. But La vita e bella does that in another way, in a less "in your face" way. Where The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is more like "Oh my God, do you see what happened back then? What happened to little innocent boys?" But there are like other terrible stories to be told and because I think most people don't really think alot after they watched a movie, they just see that story, think it's horrible in this case and then they forget the whole story of a war.[/sp]

Jesus, I hope anyone gets me and I should stop getting into the whole thing :D
 
I lived for The Craft! It was one of the more original story ideas in the last 90's.

I do have this on VHS somewhere too! Along with Cruel Intentions! :D
 
Thought the same thing even if I'm not a horror fan :nod: roomies were naming off the horror flicks that the movie took from. It started good then lost my interest at some point, don't remember when though
 
Yea dont spoil me please :lol:

I'll watch it, but when the expectations are great, movies tend to fail people.

I think I'll like it though, the cast is lovely.
