Who says he's trying to tell you something you DON'T know? Most of the best stories simply reinforce what we already know. it's HOW ARTFULLY they reinforce it that gives it worth. To me, the fact that Drayton gets no closure is the flipside of the "end it ambiguously" coin. Maybe he kills...

Darabont has flat out admitted that's part of what he was doing. It is an homage to B-movies in the horror genre from the 50's and 60's, after all, and those were chock full of simplistic, sledgehammer subtle allegory. The Ants are the Reds, the Body Snatchers are the commies, that sort of...

Yeah, the instant I saw it, I knew that no amount of set-up was going to make this forgivable for some. No matter what, for some, that is going to be an unearned ending. It's not a knock, it's just--people have their thresholds when it comes to entertainment. I'll say this though, for...

Think of it as a cautionary tale to NOT lose hope. See--David gave up too quick. They all did. Almost all of the deaths in the movie come because they were motivated BY HOPELESSNESS, not hope itself. David, to escape Carmody before she kills them. Brent, to prove David wrong. The twist there at...

Frank Darabont is an angry man. He doesn't like kids, he doesn't like people, he doesn't like religion, he doesn't like logic, he doesn't like Thanksgiving, and the only thing he likes is Stephen King, and he likes using Stephen King like a blunt instrument, to find whatever sentimentality is...

Tuesday. The movie opens 7.3.7. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Leave it to Michael Bay to turn a weekend into 6 days.

Transformers does AT LEAST 160 mil for the 6 day.

Word is this flick won't even have a single "Yippie-Ki-Yay motherfucker."

I get you Chris, most definitely :) I'm just saying, I find the argument less "over-the-top" behavioral wise, than STRANDING the father of your child IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, in an intersection, even AFTER he does what you say and then asks nicely, calmly, to be...

it's up at mtv.com in it's own video, has been since last night.

Okay, I get you there, but you gotta remember--just because YOUR marriage wouldn't proceed past a fight to a knock-down drag-out like that (and you're lucky you've got it like that, although you don't need me telling you :) ) that doesn't mean the movie is flawed or that the dialog there is out...

LOL. Sarah Silverman hounded Paris Hilton straight to jail about 3 days early. She left the MTV Movie Awards and reported to prison early. That's a monologue

I can't think of a one. Which moment specifically?

I know it's a matter of personal preference and taste and all that--but this, as a valid complaint, seems SO archaic and empty. The falsely puritanical mores attached to "cusswords" are so baffling anymore. For a movie as emotionally honest and real as this one is, to nitpick because frustrated...

BoxOfficeMojo has Pirates dropping 62 percent to 43 mil, and Knocked Up taking 2nd with just BARELY under 30 mil
