I still have to see Garden State, Finding Neverland, the Aviator, Eternal Sunshine and Dodgeball. That means I don't really have anything to say here.
Films I enjoyed: the Incredibles, Team America... damn I have really not been to the cinemas this year.
All I've seen out of them is The Incredibles and Kill Bill 2.
Has anyone noticed a backlash against The Incredibles? I think people were expecting a racuous comedy with a superhero backdrop, but when they got a full-blown superhero/Bond movie, they weren't happy.
I, however, thought it was "incredible." [img]cool.gif[/img] And Jason Lee was awesome in it.
Oh yeah there's Kill Bill 2 too, I liked it. One thing that I keep remembering though is with the Bride vs One-eyed-bitch standoff. WHen the bride is standing on a 'cliff' with her sunglasses on you can clearly see the cameraman in her glasses, I'm not sure whether that was Tarantino or not. If it was, it would make sense in the way that it's 'the sign of the auteur', an Hitchcockian cameo, something like that. Anyway, I just wondered why they kept it in.
I liked Incredibles. Nothing spectacular, but really enjoyable nonetheless.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was expecting a good film from all the reviews I'd read. I didn't enjoy it at all - extremely poor story, boring characters - I couldn't wait for it to end, I found it completely torturous. I did like the fashion designer though - he/she was VERY good.Originally posted by Untamed Aggression:
