While the original was associated with it. I don't feel like it was necessary to be as gory just to tell the same story.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wouldn't want anybody to throw away their own thoughts and opinions because I have my own snobby view of film. That's never the point. I do have one thing to say in my defense. You said that they wrapped everything up and that there were no holes. So what happened to the police chief?

I'm a big fan of the antihero and Greta Gerwig is my dream woman. There's not much of a point to the film, but the characters are all relatable (in the worst ways possible) and the dialogue so greatly written and performed that it's enough to keep you interested. I don't buy a lot of movies but this is one I want in my collection. I liked this a lot more than Noah Baumbach's previous film, Greenberg, but they are similar in their tones.
Criterion actually released it which I thought was very interesting. I love Greta Gerwig. She's so silly.

Ive seen a few movies in the last week.

The new Carrie which was very underwhelming in my opinion. Shes a great actress but I just didnt believe her character. The old Carrie had that crazy eyes devil stare going on, she was alot freakier.

Then there was Youre Next which I thought was pretty bad. It was a interesting idea but it was boring as hell.

And then there was Kick Ass 2 which was good but pales in comparison to the oroginal.

The Squid and the whale



Good film the ending was sh*t though if it was supposed to move me, it didn't.

other than that it was pretty good.

One of my most hated films ever.

I saw that phoebe in wonderland movie, it was torture emotionally most of the time, but extremely well done on all accounts. I kinda felt like the ending came too quick but I misse the first few minutes too so maybe that why, or maybe not.

A Shot in the Dark on Saturday and The Monuments Men on Sunday.
The former was pretty goofy, but still hilarious. 4/5
The latter was gripping, subtle, and the best war movie I have seen in a long time. A must-see if you are into art and/or history. 6/5!

Monuments Men looks to be just about the least subtle thing ever made.
