You know I wouldn't mind a gangsta version of little red riding hood, but it'll have to the Darkstalkers version of her, B.B. Hood (Bulleta). If Chloe from Kick-ass was still young enough to play the part I would choose her for the main role.Quote:

It dragged at times but was enjoyable overall for a silent film. Chaplin was Chaplin, but it was the girl's performance that caught my eye. Felt like I could hear all the words being spoken by the end of the film and that can only be a good thing.
That's really a great movie. I love it. I'm not a big fan of silent films, but that one's special.Quote:

This was one of the most entertaining action movies I've seen in a long time, and the villain of the movie did a fantastic job making you hate her guts. Was it a bit cheesy at times? Well... YEAH, but that was part of the fun. It felt like an 80s action movie, and hell I'd even say it did it better than a ton of the movies back then. Heck, it did Die Hard better than the most recent Die Hard.
Fantastic popcorn flick, and I should also say it's extremely.... EXTREMELY violent in the most beautiful way.
Highly recommend it. Twa-twa-twenty/Dredd
(By the way, I'm referring to the most recent one. Not to the one with Stallone that never happened. )

This. The violence in that movie, hard as it may be to believe, really was a thing of beauty. And it was actually made better by the 3D when I saw it in theaters. I can't think of any other movie ever that was actually enhanced by the 3D.Quote:

When I got past that, though, I saw it's still a really solid comedy, though it drags in the second act; no high school adventure-comedy needs to be a full two hours. Seth Rogen and Bill Hader are great in supporting roles, and as much as I like Rogen, I think I liked it more when he took the backseat and let an ensemble cast get more of the gags. Good movie, though - I'm home for surgery recovery right now and it made some great comfort food for a sick day.
I get that it was intended that way, but it doesn't make for good entertainment in my books. This is the reason I don't like a lot of otherwise good movies. Different movies will give you different kinds of emotions at the end. A sense of hopelessness can indeed be one of them, and there are movies that do this well - unfortunately I can't reveal which ones they are without spoiling them by saying they have an ending that doesn't work out in favour of the good guys. But a sense of dissatisfaction? That's something I can never view as a good thing. I am not satisfied with the ending, therefore I am not satisfied with the movie. Speaking of which...Quote:

Okay, maybe that's harsh, the ending wasn't as unsatisfying as Chinatown by any means, it was a lot better (if not awesome). This film reminded me (for obvious reasons) of Goodfellas, but it really did feel like a poor man's Goodfellas the entire way through. I really enjoyed the whole thing, don't get me wrong, but it's just not a 5/5 movie. I think it was very interesting how it all played out, but in a lot of ways very predictable and at times I must concede it felt like the film was sitting in the same state for some time, repeating itself on occasion. Despite that, it was a very good movie. De Niro, Pesci, Stone, Vincent - all of them great. Scorcese, great. The plot, very good. The ending, satisfying. I don't know what would have pushed this movie into a 5/5, the kind of movie I would go around insisting people watch, but it just isn't Goodfellas. And that's not an insult - Goodfellas is just that bloody good.
I don't get the Dredd love, apart from a few pretty scenes. I just don't.
Maybe I'm just disappointed that there's no super-awesome Dredd+Bones pic-meme.
Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not the law.
My dear girl, I'm the law. When I peek, it's in the line of duty.
I dunno.
Just...something.
