Interesting, this viewer had the opposite reaction. I was truly swept away in this post-apocalyptic wasteland and in the westward journey/mission Washington's character has been on for >30 years. The cinematography, art design and score accentuated the grayness of despair and hopelessness and...
Very interesting how some are finding it excruciatingly unfunny and others find it LOL hilarious. I would have to say I'm in the latter category. I actually do not remember laughing so often (intentionally) at a movie! I think the casting, script, action and comedy was spot-on. I was very...
I absolutely loved the end credits suite with music composed by Michael Giacchino titled "Roar!" Does anyone know if that track will be released in some form or fashion? iTunes, perhaps? If so, when? Thanks!
I really enjoyed this film! Zemeckis outdid himself here with all of the current technology at his disposal to create vivid visual landscapes, action scenes (especially loved Beowulf's story about the sea monster he slayed (reminded me of a scene out of the videogame "God of War")), actor...
Simply one of the best films of the 2000's. I'm getting the same vibe from this film as I did from "The Shawshank Redemption" when I originally saw it in a mostly empty auditorium in 1994. "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" will get lots of great reviews from...
In a year of otherwise mediocre scores, besides James Newton Howard's "Lady in the Water", I really hope Clint Mansell receives a nomination. The score is beautiful yet haunting, like the film.
I really enjoyed this film. Sure, it isn't a conventionally written and directed film, but it does have a sense of originality and off center humor that this summer has needed. In terms of the score my James Newton Howard, he composed some beautful arrangements to bring out the discoveries...
"Lost" is great in the sense that it doesn't utilize a typical plot format. The stories just mature as layers get revealed. I strongly believe if the story was just about them trying to get off of the island, it would not be as three-dimensional as it is now. Actually, the notion of being...
Michael's "Joint", the "Great Scott" line and the awkward silence at the end of it had me rolling!! I think this has overtaken "Scrubs" as my funniest show currently on the air (and that's a funny show).
Besides the ones mentioned from "King Kong", "War of the Worlds" & "Sith": - The Lion's Roar in "Kung Fu Hustle" - The first shot of the chocolate river and the Augustus Gloop song from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" - Aslans return from "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the...
I'm happy that we get more of the bonding between the characters in additional scenes and I admire the extras on the disc, but I really hate the period music used in certain scenes of the film. I, too, have the original score on CD by Carmine Coppola and it is fantastic. Scenes such as...
I have the same dillema, Travis. I e-Mailed [email protected], but haven't received anything back. Hopefully, someone will be able to shed light on this.
A brilliant piece of filmmaking AND acting on Eastwood's part. Freeman hit another one out of the park and is a shoe-in for a Supporting Actor Nomination. But, OMG, Swank was just downright perfect! A very heartbreakingly powerful film. Definitely one of the best of 2004.
"I think patients act sicker when they see a doctor." "Yeah, like when Ms. [Patient Name] pretended to have her spleen rupture and die" [rolling body out in body bag] (waving to it) "Good one Ms. [Patient Name]" Hil - FRIGGIN - larious!!!
