This is one of my favorite movies. Watched it again the other day out of boredom and remembered why it's so fantastic. Great plot, characters, acting, dialogue, cinematography, etc. Oh, and the score! Valse d'Amelie will be stuck in my head for a week now.
I only took points off because sometimes that little smug look of self-satisfaction on Amelie's face makes me want to vomit.
In the history of cinema, it is the Russians who are generally credited with elevating film editing to a modern art form. It is ironic, and strangely fitting, therefore, that it should be the Russians who, almost a full century later, have now produced the first full-length feature film ever to be composed of a single unedited shot running uninterrupted from first moment to last (Hitchcock came close with `Rope,' but he did include a few `cuts' in the course of the film). Even Sergei Eisenstein, who, in films like `Potemkin' and `Ten Days That Shook the World' spent his career developing and demonstrating the power of editing, would, I dare say, be impressed by `Russian Ark,' a film every bit as innovative and challenging as those earlier seminal works.
Was saying that last night... Saw the extended trailer, and thought "You know, that looks damn good, but it looks good because they show a lot of cool stuff...? So the film will probably either be ass, or have nothing decent I havent seen here "
Was really looking forward to that one... Its not even a popcorn muncher then? Avoid at all costs or wait to watch it at home?
I enjoyed 30 Days of Night. It wasn't grand cinema by any stretch but it was enough like a zombie movie that it held my attention. Plus there was some sweet gore. Also, some pretty excellent cinematography.
The ending was retarded though.
I know it's just another animation movie, but I've never been more annoyed by a animated character as much as this. The little shit nerd boy with the glasses really got on my nerves trough the whole movie, luckely everything else in the movie was funny.
i think this one sucked. i watched half of it and there was no plot at all. plus the animation was not that great. 3/10
Kiwi flick with the tall weird looking guy from flight of the condors. The film just tries WAY too hard to be like Napoleon dynamite while not trying way too hard to have the same plot as Napoleon dynamite. The plot is cute, at best... It has a few laughs,nothing to warrant ever seeing it again though.

28 weeks later 6/10. I liked the first one a bit better, but this one was good enough, had some cool stuff in it, but ended in a very ambiguous way...made me think that they were leaving it open for a third movie.
covers some of the same ground as 'falling down', but nowhere near as well. william h macy is brilliant as per usual, and that saves the movie from being totally rubbish.
