inthisriver Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yeah, I know. It could be great, or it could be shit. The trailer doesn't really give any indication of either, because it's just a snazy music video.Either way, Bale will be great as always.

appetite4illusions Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Great cast and I love the concept of doing a movie about ABSCAM.Has the formula for a surefire hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Amy Adams is hot as fuck, Jennifer Lawrence doesn't do much for me for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Am I the only one that feels actors nowadays take the "method" acting a bit too far? I mean this film has a bunch of actors that don't fit that period but they got all "method" lol. Seriously sometimes it can look ridicules.What do you think method acting means?

Estranged Reality Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yeah, I know. It could be great, or it could be shit. I'd say chances are in its favor.David O. Russell's last two films were very well-received and both earned and won various award nominations. Most of the cast members from his last two films are in this one as well (he's not in the trailer, but De Niro is in this too, probably in a small cameo or something). It's combining the best of both worlds, basically, and it's got a great based-on-a-true-story narrative to boot.I'd be very surprised if it turns out to be bad. In fact, I'd go so far as to wager that it'll be one of the best films of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 David O. Russell has never made a bad film. Though, I do hope his recent commercial successes don't mean the end of the more idiosyncratic fare he started out doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 i think he's managed to implement that idiosyncratic nature into even his more 'mainstream' stuff. i mean, let's not forget that one of his first films was three kings and starred three really big hollywood names. it's not like he got suckered into the mainstream suddenly.i thought silver linings carried his charm.

Estranged Reality Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 she's a very talented actress. she's been a little glitzed and glamoured up but part of her appeal, i think, is that she's really just a cute girl, not super hot or anything, and she has a genuine personality.she got unfairly hyped and it may ultimately be detrimental to her career, but i think she's sensible enough to handle it well. wouldn't be surprised if she takes a break from it all for a year or two after the hunger games contract is over.winter's bone was a great performance though and that was before all the hunger games hype snowballed her career.

Angelica Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Her performance in Silver Linings was really wonderful, too. She's special, I hope the hype doesn't turn out to be detrimental for her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 A few days after seeing it, I've finally hit on what this movie is (to me anyway) - the biggest, most balls out Scorsese parody anyone will ever do. The only deviation is that it features female characters that it actually gives a shit about. It's gangbusters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Every promotional shot of J Law for this film is her in a nightgown.My observation for the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The cover looks like Casino. I hope this is good. I love these kinds of movies.

Gia Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The movie was alrightthought is was gonna be better to be honestChristian Bale was fantastic as always This is the first time I've seen Jennifer Lawrence in a movie and quite frankly I'm not all that impressedAmy Adams was great and I think Bradley Cooper is becoming a much better actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Don't base your opinion of Jennifer Lawrence off of this movie. Watch The Hunger Games or Silver Linings Playbook. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie. Everyone was great, honestly. Wasn't expecting to see Louis CK And Amy Adams looked amazing the whole movie.

Sixes Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 A few days after seeing it, I've finally hit on what this movie is (to me anyway) - the biggest, most balls out Scorsese parody anyone will ever do. The only deviation is that it features female characters that it actually gives a shit about. It's gangbusters. Seeing it later this week. By the trailers and clips I've seen, it did remind me of a Scorsese film. Very much looking forward to it. Russell along with Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson and Spike Jonze have never made a bad film between them. I'm curious to see how this will affect Russell's next few films since it's poised to be a commercial success.Also might check out Her...

Her is lovely.Indeed they do. A friend of mine asked me to come up with a list of the 50 best directors of all time and surprisingly (at least at first), Sofia Coppola made my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
