score is so high just because the music is amazing and it fits whats shown on the screen so perfectly! It´s like a new genre instrumental or something where the music dictates the screenplay fully.
Quite good acting and at times absolutely hilarious and such but the music, the settings etc just take you away.
And I suppose for the romantic people they may get their share as well. for others it get more of a comedy
Not the average popcorn movie this that is for sure. I liked it very well and it is quite a sad movie, though it didn`t have the effect on me that I have read it has had on others, but I will watch it again if I come across it.
No country for old men 8/10
First time I watch this, and I have been wanting to do so for a long time, excellent movie in my opinon, and for the record a better one then "There will be blood" in my opinon as I felt it gave me more.
My favorite Coen movie as well (I rate it higher then "Fargo"), very good cinematography in my opinion and a good (and scary) Bardeem, and I also liked Brolin's performance.
A very poignant movie for me, which I will purchase eventually.
Lilja 4-ever is pretty horrible. Requiem for a dream is also a good movie to check how thick skin you have. If you doesn´t feel anything watching that you aren´t human

If only for Keira Knightley (I'm assuming that was the version). She looked fantastic. Fun film, nice costume dramedy. My favorite would still be Dangerous Liasons for John Malk and Glenn Close in all their cat-iness. Of course, there is always The Lion in Winter, where Hep and O'Toole square off.

I caught UP for the second time at the second run. It just didn't hold up. The middle section was slow. 6/10

I agree wholeheartedly.
This is one of my wife's favorite movies, and she "forces" me to watch it with her quite often. I feign disdain, rolling my eyes, while secretly enjoying it as much as her (don't tell, as I gain points for the exercise
).
The dialog is superb, and stands up to repeated viewings to catch what was missed prior. It is also shot using a variety of interesting & very effective techniques, both indoors and out. And yes, the soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. As near perfect a movie as any I've seen.
Btw, if you liked "Pride and Prejudice", check out "Mansfield Park" (with Frances O'Connor). Another Jane Austen period piece with superb dialog, acting, directing, and soundtrack.
Two marvelous flicks which reinstill my hope in modern cinema. "The Reader", especially, gets all the "nonverbal" parts right. Expertly acted, authentically (for the most part) staged, well scripted and directed and artfully filmed and produced. Interesting that there should be two such powerful additions to the untold tales of the Holocaust genre now, right when some loonies are claiming it was but a "myth".

Man, haven't you mentioned that before? Sometimes, my memory can be faulty. I loved that movie. What about Sense and Sensibility. That was another great Victorian drama full of repressed emotions.
Great call on Gosford Park. I enjoyed that movie as well; one of Altman's finest.
. I am pretty much just watching older movies these days. We have a library where you can borrow movies, games, music etc for free it´s quite a gold mine. They have damn good taste about movies too quite impressed by the one responsible for buying them
Marie Antoinette 2/10... I only got half through but this was one of the most if not the most booring and uninteresting movies I ever witnessed! Any sign of a story hardly exist, a princess that plays with dogs and lying in bed hoping to get screwed to get some kids. It´s badly directed with bad music and the rock and roll guaranteed didn´t show its face in the first hour at all
While I have empathy for the sharks getting finned I was expecting more of a documentary about their behavior dispelling the Jaws myths (which is how Sharkwater started out) however it quickly deteriorated into a PETA-esque shock video with a dash of Whale Wars thrown in for good measure.
