saw Her. thought it was garbage. mule is mad at me for not liking it. not only did i dislike it but it gave me anxieties all the way through it for reasons i cant explain or come to terms with yet. i typically like spike jonze films but this one just didnt do it for me. i dont think joaquin pheonix was as great as everyone has been saying he was either. seen that character played out in a zillion films before and dont think joaquin brought anything new to that character type but a creepy moustache. seen that theme a million times also. making a character an ios device doesnt make the theme any more interesting or new to me. maybe the commentary went over my head but i couldnt get past the schlocky  overindulgent dialogue to give a shit. apparently there are some japanese films out there that use the ios relationship story line much better. i wont bother looking into them.</p>

on the flip side Nebraska was great. bruce dern was great...actually he was fucking fantastic. not a lot of dialogue for his character and he didnt need it great actors can sell that type of character with minimal dialogue and just body language. the viewer begins to learn of his past anyways through other characters as the film moves on and the character begins to develop through that. will forte was a great surprise in a more dramatic roll..not that it demanded a lot of versatility but i thought forte did really well and sold the character. june squibb may have stollen the movie though. i liked the simple story and simple art direction and thought the film lent perfectly to black and white. </p>

and better latter than never i actually watched black swan late on tv. what a load of shit that was. how did that piece of garbage get so much attention. it felt like a made for tv movie from the early 90s, acting was horrible and the entire film was a david lynch rip off...and a really bad rip off at that. one of the worst criticaly acclaimed films i have ever seen.</p>

I have no interest in Her, it looks horrible and I'd probably agree with everything you said.</p>


 </p>


I didn't know about Nebraska at all until it got nominated for awards and then I couldn't figure out what the hell it was but after the trailer I wanted to see it, glad to hear your review.</p>


 </p>


As for black swan... I saw everything I needed from that movie online. hah.</p>

Black Swan, If I recall that film is a love/love triangle story among anorexic ballet dancers?  </p>

Somewhat.   It is kind of a play on the play with a "shocking" twist.     I did not think it was too bad...but Queen Immagonnadoya playing the lead and that hot 70's show chick kept on distracting me from the story line.

Sooo...it was the wife's turn to pick the flick and we say August: Osage County.   Honestly it should stay as a stage play...even when they use many stage play actors in a movie acting like they are on stage.    Though I will say it is the first movie since Strange Days that Juliette Lewis' only character she can act worked.</p>


 </p>


I will say Julia and Meryl deserve the nominations.  Other than that, it should stay on the stage as the story, the plot lines, the twists work there.  Especially when there is an intermission.</p>

I have exactly less than zero fucks to give for that movie.</p>

Finally saw Chinatown after it's been sittign in my Netflix queue for about a year. Decent movie, but I think my expectations were set to high.</p>

 

[the canadian dream]

This film is a complete WIN!! I heard it was nominated for an oscar for best full length documentary. Don't know if it won and dont really care if it did or not. I am a sucker for documentaries about artists and such. This might be my favorite now. Just blown away by it. Not sure why it resinated with me so highly but it did.</p>

I saw 12 years a slave.  it was pretty good.  I heard in Italy they have Brad Pitt featured on the cover of the blu ray.  He's in it for all of 5 minutes.</p>

Me neither.   But his acting since Se7en and 12 Monkeys has made him invisible, even when he is the lead.</p>

He was executive producer for the movie which is why they were both there</p>

Brad Pitt's Best Role?</p>


 </p>


Floyd, True Romance.</p>


 </p>


"I dont have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. All I have is fucking Floyd... And besides, Floyd smoked the second page of the letter..."</p>

That was a classic role. Classic movie. Very cheesey but still awesome.
