The bulletpoints: *too many trailers: Blindness, Mirrors, Miracle at St. Anna, Eagle Eye, Death Race, Traitor, Babylon AD....zzzzzz. has the movie started yet? *There are some nice shots, but overall I think the reason why the film got poor reviews was less about the content than the ho-hum...

we all got em. For the record, I enjoyed the movie, I just think there are noteworthy flaws amongst its considerable merits.

The Bulletpoints... [SPOILERS AHEAD] *Christian Bale can act. American Psycho proved to be a vehicle where his particular brand of bland determination meshed completely with the character. Weirdly though, i'm starting to see a pattern in these near miss performances from him that recycle that...

Well, I agree that i'm nearly zombie-movie'd out, but as they say, its not what you're about, its how you are about it. I think if they do it right and concentrate more on the tone and visual than the action movie aspect it could work. Worth noting that the guy who directed House of Sand and...

I went thru and tried to sync it up with most of the enya tracks on you tube, but it never really got there, and after about a half an hour I had a little moment of realization that I was spending time listening to _enya_, and it didn't seem as fun anymore.

I think i'm with Holodem here in that i'm not quite there yet with the film. I like it a lot, I want to see it again. i'm not sure if I go with the scorcese character study explanation, though. It certainly satisfies on that level, but that penderecki-like score, lewis performance and that...

I think someone drank Brett's milkshake.

I also liked The Fountain, but that's kind of an odd film to cite, considering the timeline shifts and the same actor, multiple character stuff going there. That seems considerably more muddled than what's going on in Sunshine. I haven't seen Heaven, (I've been meaning to watch the Princess and...

well, John, let me guide you out of the forest here. I was and am (I think understandably) wary of taking the discussion here not only because of the religion aspect, but for the very reason you listed here: editorializing, harping and going overboard. Your posts have contained phrases like...

I'm on my way out the door here, but I'll be happy to continue this later. If you like we can go to PM to further discuss it.

-->4. No politics or religion. We do not permit the discussion of politics or religion at HTF. However, there is a narrow exception to this rule. If the subject matter of a movie or television show includes politics and/or religion, then they may be discussed insofar as they pertain to that...

Case in point. If you disagree with the message, you are also actively looking for a reason to pick it apart. And that's fine. I did the same thing with No Country For Old Men, which is a fantastic film that I completely disagree with.

I've had this exact conversation with several of my friends after watching it. Focusing on the science & mechanics of the ship and the fissile materials of "re-igniting the sun" is completely missing the point of the film. Considering the plot revolves around the obstacles a group of...

I fully realize my opinion is the minority. I completely respect the coens. If I could take a pill and suddenly have their films resonate with me in a way that they don't now I would, but its just not possible. In fairness, I don't know mcCarthy and haven't read any of his novels, so maybe it is...

*Why 1980? Is there any reason for it besides the coolness of rotary dial phones and boomer cocaine nostalgia? Bales of cocaine, fallin down like rain... *It needs to be said that there is something in my brain chemistry that just has antibodies against Coen Brothers movies. I had the exact...
