AbominableHoman Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Anyways. From Eastwood to infinitely more impressive Ben Stiller. Him and Jonah Hill's confrontation during NATM:2 had me giggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaddisonmoore Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 i watched The Town yesterday. Actually very surprised. Renner was great and ben affleck is actually a good director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The Town really wasn't anything special. I was actually surprised it was so paint-by-numbers; like something you might see on Television.If anything, it was elevated by Affleck's direction. The man knows Boston, and it takes a true masshole to appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Does anyone else think this year has been one of the best years for films in a long time? Shutter IslandInceptionToy Story 3Four LionsKick AssHave all been a delight to watch and well worth the money to go see in a cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Does anyone else think this year has been one of the best years for films in a long time? IMO, it's been the worst since at least 2002. I have high hopes for The Social Network, The Black Swan, Somewhere, etc redeeming it somewhat, but it's been pretty horrible.

Toy Story 3 was excellent. Four Lions was brilliant (if you're American you've probably never seen this, but I highly recommend it. It's a comedy/drama about four British Islamic extremists).Kick ass was also a nice addition too. Hot tub time machine had a few good moments.Beats shit from last year anyways.

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The Other Guys - Hilarious. One of the funniest films I have seen recently.Enter The Dragon - Great stuff if not for the fighting but the noises and music.The Breakfast Club - Classic stuff.

The Hangover Agree on propers for Toy Story 3 and Hot Tub owning Hangover, disagree on almost everything else (haven't seen Four Lions, but not on account of being American). Shutter Island = a Hitchcock tribute without a sense of humor, which is like a Russ Meyer tribute without cleavage. I loathed it. Inception was good. Not great, and not The Prestige or Memento. Great (or almost great) - The Ghost Writer, Toy Story 3, The Killer In Me, I'm Still Here, Animal Kingdom, Greenberg, How to Train Your DragonGood to reasonably good - Hot Tub, Kick-Ass, Piranha 3D, The Runaways, The Crazies, Salt, Exit Through the Gift Shop...slow year, hope it turns around.The Black SwanI'm so gonna watch it Edited September 21, 2010 by Angelica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny_dancer Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ^I can't wait for that.It did sound like a kind of iffy idea for a film when I read a review of it in a magazine, but the trailer looks really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthisriver Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I watched How To Steal A Million starring Audrey Hepburn last night. I didn't think much of it to be honest but I could watch almost anything if she has a significant amount of screen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the post-Toronto critical buzz was raptuours, and Fincher's been pretty steady with his one masterpiece, one interesting failure model since Se7en and The Curious Case of Benjaminzzzzzzzz was most certainly not a masterpiece so everything's very much on track.

The book is tabloid, and the film takes it to a even higher level.It's like watching A Beautiful Mind, knowing most of it is not true - but it is being sold to you as such.
