I'm maybe half an hour into "a scanner darkly" and i have to say i'm more annoyed than anything else.

If it was supposed to be fun to watch a trio of paranoid drug addicts act up, they could have done it without woody harrelson, or keanu reeves, or robert downey jr. doing his very best impersonation of jeff goldblum.

ugh.

Oh well, the book was good

Oh, I'm sure. I wish hollywood would stick to action flicks when they rape PKD stories, though.

Sweeney Todd. I loved the dark theme going on, but the musical side of it was bloody annoying. I can appreciate it's niche taste but i just dont like musicals. Good story, great setting, just dont like all the singing!

2x. Watched this about a week ago. The full title's a mouthful: The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford. A really great ensemble cast, but Brad Pitt (James) stands out, and Casey Affleck (Ford) is so good you wonder where he's been hiding until now. Midway through you realize that the film is also a cautionary tale about mythmaking and celebrity, which Pitt probably knows something about. The pace didn't bother me at all (it's shot so well), but if you're looking for a shoot-em-up Western, this ain't it. It's also kinda funny to see political professional James Carville do a walk-on as the Governor of Missouri. All in all, pretty impressive.

No Country for Old Men: 6/10
- Too slow, too much silence.

"American Gangster" - 8/10 Few problems with continuity, but a sprawling epic gangster flick with great acting and credible character development.

 

[mbriant]

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL: It didn't have any "Something About Mary" hysterics, but still very funny. If you've ever been through a painful dumping, chances are you'll relate to, and laugh at, at least some of it.

Reign Over Me - 7.5/10

Surprisingly good, actually. Adam Sandler wasn't the usual unfunny self he normally is, he was actually pretty good in this.

The soundtrack was awesome too.

Prom Night - 6.5/10

Nice, hot girl, stupid classic horror movie mistakes. Typical scenes, good killer.

First Blood - Was O . K ., could have been much better with more rambo destruction
6/10

Waitress - I know the writer/director was horribly murdered before the film was released, and thus people want to be supportive for this quirky, small town girl overcomes lot in life tale. Still it's easily the worst film I've seen in a year. Takes many short-cuts with assuming-the-audience-is-on-my-side filmmaking (partially because every character is painted so outlandish) and for a morality tale, incredibly disingenuous. It's trying so hard to earn its eventual sentiment, that its stunningly so. And since it's still a transformative piece, could be boiled done to 12 minutes since the big, generic moment (short-cut number 317) occurs very late in the film (and outcome is completely skipped - short-cut number 324). Honestly, I can't think of a recent film that fails more at what it is trying to do.

There's a long list of films to see instead - Juno, Junebug, Secretary, Heavy, Amelie...

I liked it too (Smokin Aces) - you just have to take it for what it is.
