Some more reviews
Still don't really feel like doing any long reviews, but here are some ratings.
Zodiac- 8/10- great mystery and police procedural, maybe a bit over-long, and robert downey jr/mark ruffalo didn't bring a new edge to their typical character
300- 8/10- very fun movie
a guide to recognizing your saints (DVD)- 7/10
tideland (DVD)- 3/10
the lives of others- 9/10
Black Snake Moan- 7/10

300 was a great movie... but i guess i had an appreciation for the story before the movie even came out
Tideland i have netflixed but that seems disappointing based upon the description
black snake moan seemed iffy from previews but is it worth me going to see?
i think black snake moan can wait for a rental, it's a good movie, but i don't think it requires a theater viewing. and yeah, tideland is a rough movie that only disturbed me. Terry Gilliam has a little preface before the movie about viewing it through the eyes of a child, but it's just TOO weird even for that.
thanks for reading! my "review writing" has slowed down, i don't have a lot of time right now, but thanks nevertheless!
hmm... i must say i'm in between on tideland. It was interesting because it was a blatant attempt to disturb especially because everything revolved around the child innocence and imagination, but at the same time it seemed like they tried at it too much and it became boring and forced. I think it could have been better if they kept with the alice in wonderland esque theme and live more in her imagination then just using it as an excuse to roam through disturbing matters that she merely makes into a game and ignores.
rambling i know... meh
no, it's fine, those were great points
when I rented the movie, i was excited because I had thought it'd maybe be like the imagination side of Pan's Labyrinth, mixed with the freakish mind of Terry Gilliam
however, more often than not i was just depressed by this girl and her surroundings... there was no wonder involved, it was all just so insanely sad... did your copy have the preface by gilliam where he said to watch the movie through the eyes of a child? if i did that, i would need therapy, as that girl is going to need
i mean i didn't HATE the movie, it was watchable and alright, but i think my greatest problem came with the fact that i felt that the little girl was as bat-shit crazy as that older woman who mummified the dead or whatever it was. there was nothing cute to her after a while.
i mean, what can be done, since it's based off of a book that i didn't read... i mean, if in the book they did all the stuff to her dad's body, then what could gilliam do about it?
