i watched all Oscar nominated films ... i have a personal bias to The Social Network but i have to admit The King's Speech deserves the Best Picture trophy

One I'd wanted to see for quite some time. A really interesting and inventive sci-fi/supernatural premise, and I was actually quite impressed by it...at least 'til the last half hour or so.

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention at the time, but...

Spoiler for go figure:

Sorry. I did come across like an elitist prick here. Your opinion is as valid as the next person. Apologies.

An interesting film with some great ideas not fully realised like you said but it is one of the better Vampire films I have seen for a while.

It was good I liked it a lot. Pretty impressed with the pacing of the film especially on how little development the plot had. I'm glad the movie didn't drag on like a lot of movies tend to do.

lol you are so right about that. They lose steam somewhere near the end and the movie itself ended up pissing me off and hating the whole film because of how they closed it up.

Spoiler for they tried:

Apology accepted. I do understand what you are saying though. He's a pretty great director and everything I just don't like his movies. I got caught up in the moment and felt like calling him a hack even though I know his technical skill level isn't on the level of a true hack.

Not bad they could have talked more about the music and their early lives. I did learn some new things about the band. B-

You can't go wrong with latina cheerleaders and break dancing within the first five mins. of the film.

I saw the original Friday the 13th, so cheesy and hilarious, I liked it. 8/10.

Sweet smell of success - 7/10 - Liked it, unusually acerbic dialogue for the time period. Burt Lancaster is a scene stealer.

L'avventura - 6/10 - Nice mood, got a bit bored near the end tho.

Mamma Roma - 4/10 - Passolini just doesn't agree with me, the wonderful Anna Magnani notwithstanding.

Spoiler for go figure: ...how the fuck did Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke not bleed to death/kick the bucket themselves in supplying the whole vampire race with whatever that cure was? Seeing as they were 'human' at the time and all... Last edited by Bulldog; 03-05-2011 at 07:43 PM.
