 "Despite the several recommendations I had to watch this movie, I was genuinely impressed. It was way bigger and better than I imagined. A true modern day musical where people don't break into song on the street but rather sing along to their cd player while walking down the street. The soundtrack truly made this movie worthwhile. I loved it. " [More]

 "Pushing Back while Pulling Forward. Half Nelson is a movie worth your time to watch. It doesn’t begin at the beginning of anything, and it certainly doesn’t end when the movie credits rolls. It shows a glimpse into the lives of two believable people, both at major crossroads of their lives. Dan Dunne is an inner city History teacher and girl’s basketball coach. He finds a lot of time to be a major crack addict with a crazy nightlife. He has no friends, no girlfriend, but several one-night-stands. However, he is an amazing and engaging teacher. He will not stick to the provided curriculum, but prefers instead to teach that “history is change” and referencing Hegelian themes. A tree is both strong and weak, both crooked and straight. This is the perfect explanation for Dan’s own life. He is neither the hero, nor the villain of the story. He is not a good guy with a drug addiction, nor is he a bad guy who has a few good qualities. Drey is ... " [More]

Re: un quote
By KatiesFlicks in Best movie quotes
"Although at some point I'm sure that I have quoted a movie here and there, I don't really have that great ability to quote lines accurately. I often find it funny when people have quotes from movies and they interject them into conversation, I can even often place what movie they are from, but I cannot repeat them. It is as though I don't recall the exact wording of a movie quote, I can only recall the gist of what was said. The gist of a one liner or a joke is hardly funny. Really, not funny at all. I would need to watch a movie repeatedly to be able to actually recall a specific line, and there are few movies I watch over and over again. The anchorman is one I hear quoted often, and especially Napolean Dynamite. Sometimes I think Napolean Dynamite's purpose was to create a slew of funny one liners. " [More]

"Sorry, this may not have been a great film, but worst movie ever? Hardly. I enjoyed Independence Day, it had a few laughs, decent special effects and I don't care if the characters weren't all that well developed, it was non-stop action. Do not impeach! Also, I can't even believe Mars Attacks was listed throughout here as comparable to ID:4, I couldn't stop laughing during Mars Attacks. It was so ridiculous, it was absolutely hilarious. " [More]

"Maybe I didn't get the humor in this film, but I am generally pretty open to all sorts of laughs. In Death to Smoochy, however, I do not recall laughing once. I was bored, and I could not believe what a disaster this film turned out to be. " [More]

"I love lists. In no particular order: 1.Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away) 2.Tom Tykwer (Heaven, Lola Rennt) 3.Pedro Almodovar (All About My Mother, Bad Education) 4.Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmit, plus he was the executive producer on The Assassination of Richard Nixon) 5.Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hallow and I loved Mars Attacks) I am very hopeful for what else George Clooney may create, and I can't help but to put my honorable mentions of Christopher Guest (Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman), Joel Coen (esp Barton Fink and Fargo), Peter Jackson, Gus Van Sant (although I didn't like Elephant all the much) and Richard Linklater (Before Sunset, Tape).

Re: Telling A Story Backwards
By KatiesFlicks in PulpFiction1975
"I love it when a director does something unique with a film and gives it a new quality, such as a mixed up timeline sequence. It turns a film that may have been fine otherwise into something much greater. It can definitely add a great element to a movie, especially in the case of Memento. I felt that the backwards time in Memento played on the key theme of memory, and how time has a funny way of changing through memories, and looking back at them. I don't think Memento would have been even close to as great of a film if it had been told straight forward. Anyone have a good example of a non-linear film in which the fragmented approach only hurts the film and does not give it a positive element? Personally I did not care much for the movie Palindromes, nor was I a huge fan of Go. " [More]
