Wash ,'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I just saw Frankenweenie. That lightly hit a few current hot buttons, but what a fun movie. Definitely the best Tim Burton movie since...I think I may go with Jilli here and say Big Fish.
And, again, agreeing with Jilli, I'm not sure I could see Big Fish again anytime soon.
Having now seen Cloud Atlas twice in one week, I can safely say that it is an amazing movie. It's got a lot of problems, and as a fan of the book I wish they'd gone in a different direction, but still, it's a phenomenal accomplishment.
How long is Cloud Atlas?
Just about three hours. Which isn't as long as it sounds, considering that there are six storylines in play.
(That's a lie, it's very long, and it feels long. But in a good way that makes you want to use the word "epic.")
Speed Racer was long in the sense that it would have been a much better film if they cut at least 45 minutes from it.
Hello Tailor has a killer review of Skyfall; it makes me want to run right out and see it: [link]
Ack, thanks-- Yes, there are spoilers.
note: above review has spoilers!
Sorry, le n--I tend not to think of spoilers w/rt Bond, but there is one specific thing I wish I hadn't known...
it doesn't really bother me, but I am warning others.
Okay, having seen the movie, that is NOT the spoiler I was worried it was. Whew.
