Mr.woodcock

1/10

this is a comedy?

more like drawn out retardedness, and not the kind that you can actually laugh at.

I honestly don't get why some movies will license a book to make a movie and then make a completely different movie than the book. Honestly the only similarities between the movie and the book are 1. The protagonist's name and 2. The fact that he had arms.

Never read the book so i shall pretend to be in the know. I took it for an enjoyable film that served its purpose and did not drag along like the majority of todays films.

BTW

Deathproof - 8/10

Weird. Quirky. Excellent.
Soundtrack fucking owns too.

Yeah, Downfall's awesome innit DB?
The guy playing Hitler did a phenomenal job.
Not exactly light viewing, but utterly compelling.

On a lighter note, I watched Idiocracy tonight.
Thoroughly enjoyable. The scary thing is, I could see something not quite so far removed from the movie happening.

4/10. You know CGI effects are bad when you can tell exactly which studio did 'em.

Sunshine 6/10, creepy event horizon guy was a terrible, terrible cop out.

No country for old men - massively enjoyed, but not quite sure it deserved the hype it's received. not sure what I made of the way it ended. on the other hand, perhaps I'm being overly critical purely becuase I'm a huge Coen brothers fan... 8/10 (subject to change on future veiwings :p )

I liked Sunshine a lot, very atmospheric and engrossing. Except I don't get the Event Horizon shit with the captain... is he supernatural or not? how did he survive? Why does he warp in and out of existance? whatever

I wouldn't have rated it that high but it does earn points for the unrelenting gore bestowed upon stupid high school kids. :up:

3:10 To Yuma = 9/10 - I knew nothing about this movie before pressing play. Good story, good performances and plenty engaging.

Cloverfield = 4/10 - Meh. I liked the way it was shot and the way it presented the story but the story itself was just too fucking ghey to rally behind. Godzilla has nothing to fear.

Death Of A President = 9/10 - Nicely done and throughly plausible.

Resident Evil Extinction = 2/10 - I have no idea why this movie exists.

In The Line Of Fire = 7/10 - Malkovich should only play psycho killers. Stupid ending, though.

I Am Legend = 8/10 - Compared to the book the ending blew chunks but overall I thought is was well done. The dog stole the show.

@$$TRR1$$$$K*FUCKING SPOILERS*@$$TRR1$$$$K


3:10 to Yuma - i agree, great movie. 9/10

Hard Candy - ok... so it's the girl from Juno (btw, Juno was pretty good) except she's a few years younger. basically she entraps a pedo, ties him up, tortures him, and gets him to kill himself. umm, yea. good acting, but unless you're a pedo or have a hardcore anti-pedo vendetta... not that interesting. 5/10?

edit: oh, and Downfall (Der Untergang) is shit. it's Hitler-porn for contemporary Germans and people who watch too much History Channel. that the people who made it even tried to claim that it's somehow objective or historically accurate is clown-shoesishly ridiculous... but they did... and spliced on some archival footage from someone who was in the bunker to make it seem authentic.

No, they actually took Traudl Junge's diaries and made a movie. That's pretty much as historically accurate as they could get, you know, her actually having been there at that moment in time and all. Please share where you get the idea it's not historically accurate (i'm ignoring the 'objective' because any clown should be able to realize that it's a movie and not a goddamn documentary).

Miami Vice

While beautifully shot and directed, there is zero chemistry between Colin Farrel and Jamie Foxx. They don't even look at each other when they are talking to each other, it's like they aren't partners at all and it kills it. The plot is also somewhat incoherent, but that's minor in comparison to the way the actors fucked up their parts.

every moment that she's not in the room is speculation and/or dramatization, and the rest is colored by her feelings and memory. anyway, the real Traudl Junge story was already told in "Im toten Winkel - Hitlers Sekretärin" (2002). Look for a 2007 article by Johannes von Moltke in New German Critique, a related article by Lutz Koepenick on a resurgence of "heritage film" in Germany (though it addresses Aimee&Jaguar, specifically), and an editorial about Downfall by Wim Wenders from when it came out (Oct 21,2004 in "Die Zeit"?). You will also find various quotes from the writer of the screenplay, Eichinger, claiming that the film makes no value judgements - for a good discussion of that, look to David Bathrick (in the same issue of NGC as the von Moltke) and Sabine Hake ("Leaving the Bunker").
