Oh my god. Isn't this the truth of the day...fuck, it's Marty. Thought it would be great. It was boring and slow. I think it's DiCaprio...claim he's good, sure...let Fabio take a crack at serious acting...same thing.

Fabio...wonderful hair though... :)

Finn

Almost forgot...

The Good Theif and Chicago

I ask the same of you.

Lost In Translation

REALLY?? I thought it was really wonderful. What was the prob, SNT?

All my friends hated too but I guess most of them put too much expectations on it... I try to keep on mind the main intention of the moive...like this one. It's a simple, light and melow film what turned it so good.

i kept hearing it was the ultimate homage to 70's horror and i am (like most on the site) a fan of Dushku.  What can i say.

I hope you die a painful death.  Just kidding... Elephant, for me at least, is the best film of the year and I doubt I'll love, appreciate, and respect a film more than I do this one.  To each his own...

Writing from hell- just died but didn't pain that much

I got a thing with Van Sant - thought I could change my mind with this one since I heard only good things about but didn't happen this time...

the matrix reloaded was the biggest disappointment of the year.  i bought into all the hype, i thought it was going to be the greatest film ever.  i think so did everyone else at the 10pm the night before it opened screening.  the silence during the movie was deafening.  all the geeks that were hootin and hollerin during the trailers and the excitement you could feel in the theatre before it started, was completely drained out in the first 15 minutes.  i was crushed.  a few weeks later i revisited the film as a matinee and do own it, but nothing can erase the disappointment.  i'm now going into revolutions with little to no hype, so hopefully i'll have a much better time.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Uhh... yeah.  I loved the 1st movie, it was dumb, fun, and highly rewatchable.  Why wouldn't I expect the same, if not better from the 2nd?  I've written why part 2 is such a huge stinker somewhere else, but...
