Last year, I worked my way through all the Disney animated films, but I haven't had time to write up the reviews until recently. A few things to note! I thought watching them in chronological order would be boring, so I drew the order out of a hat. I rate films mostly on how much I enjoyed them. For instance, while I agree that Snow White is the most important animated film of all time, my ...
I didn't catch all of the Golden Globes, but I did catch James Cameron's two speeches. While I admire the guy as a filmmaker, I don't think he's a good at speeches. I still remember his speeches from his Titanic Oscar wins, ending with that awkward, "Please join me in a minute of silence for those who perished on the Titanic." Last night, it seemed like he was trying to channel Martin Scorsese's ...
... some of what I learned in college, but with the German conversations, I often had to make do with body language and context. Overall, though, I can see why my fellow film geeks at moviebuffs have been praising this film and listing it amongst their favorites from 2009 and even the decade. This truly represents the return of Tarantino to peak form. Rating: ***** (5 out of 5)
Happy October, everyone! I tried to post this yesterday, but I got blue-screened. And then LJ went AWOL. So, now begins our foray into this moviechallenge, and I'm starting with a classic: Poltergeist. If you're just joining us, the 31/31 Challenge is explained here . I put a listtogether, which I posted on the Movie Buffs community , but for here I'm going to just post reviews each day and ...
A reply to this post . First, one wonders if the reviewer paid attention to the movie. They state that Axel went to war and came home. I don't know anybody who watched this move that claims this. The guys who went to war and came home are Michael, Nick, and Steven. Perhaps the reviewer didn't watch the weddingreception scene. Perhaps they thought it "largely forgettable," which is how they ...

Movies: Something old, something downloaded, and something new This is my first posting here, I love films and watched these three in the last 2 days. I hope you don't mind a triple review post. Something old: HEATHERS "Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?" Heathers is a dark comedy classic. Three girls, named Heather (duh), and one girl named ...
... in which nothing much happens, or what happens is menial, like preparing a meatloaf or folding up a bed. So it certainly is classed as an arthouse film – in a recent discussion on the moviebuffs forum about original films, both Slumdog Millionaire and Little Miss Sunshine were named as original films… sorry guys’n’girls, if you want TRULY original cinema, here’s a place to start. But if...
Quick question, my fellowmoviebuffs. I once 'downloaded' a copy of Phone Booth with Colin Farrell during it's cinematic release. I liked it so much I went out and bought the DVD when it became available. I know for a fact that if I hadn't seen the film in the first place, I would not have had access to it's content any other way. Therefore, there would have been no impetus for me to own a copy ...
