    Where the Wild Things Are

    It was interesting how they made this children's classic play out, and the effects were stunning, but not much really happened. The wild things were characterized pretty well and the little boy did a great job.

    3/5

    I watched 30 Days of Night (xD... I have about five/six times now).
    - It doesn't feel like it paces on for 30 Days, that aspect is indeed what the minds behind the film failed on.

    - The atmosphere is pulled off rather well save for some illogical antics (used to take the pacing of the film events somewhere, which is understandable).

    - The important vampires are all there (save for Vincente who was replaced by Marlow).

    - The story has a deep focus on the events involving Eban and Stella.

    - It's missing what makes the vampires special (Save for maybe a half minute where Marlow is using his nails to gather henchman, and the slight event where Arvin hints that
    hey, maybe these vampires are extremely smart and resourceful).

    - Cunning is shown through the beautiful Zurial and, mindless (but controlled) acts of insanity are shown through the stunning Iris.

    - Awkward jump cuts here and there (don't ruin the movie, but I can't help but notice them after seeing the film a lot).

    - The violent nature of the ghoulish vampires (It's clear that the old Nosferatu film inspired the look) are welcome any time at my place !


    4/5

    Where the Wild Things Are is quite possibly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.

    Weak plot, dragged in the middle, non-definitive ending, but my god. There were scenes in that film where I almost cried it was so lovely to see.

    I can't wait to see that movie!


    Anyway, saw Fame (the remake) the other day. What a waste of time and money.

    Really o_O;

    I thought the storyline and character development were very rushed... I do agree about the acting and action though.

    Observe and Report, very dark and not what I expected. Still got a few laughs out of it, and I couldn't help but feel bad for Seth Rogen's character throughout the entirety of the film until the very end.

    No. I must admit, I kinda wanted to see it just to see how bad it actually was. Also, I got dragged into seeing it


    Just saw Atonement today. Very good movie.

    Tim Burtons 9
    I give it a 4/5
    It was really well done, although lacked the feel of a Burton movie (no musical theatrics ;~ but thats probably not his fault seeing as the other directors wouldn't let his genius have free reign >.>
    I really enjoyed it despite what I'd heard.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Tim Burton had a relatively small part of that movie. Shane Acker should be credited with it or, if you're set on doing it with Burton, you should include Bekmambetov just as much.

    Lucky Number Slevin is awesome. The way it all comes together at the end, paired with the fast and witty dialogue makes it extremely fun to watch. Also the cast list isn't too shabby.

    Otto: or, Up with Dead People. 5/5 as a surrealistic film, 2.5/5 as a social commentary.

    @Breine: Is that a movie adaptation of Ian McEwan's Atonement? Cuz its a great book.

    Yes it is. Haven't read the book, although I've kinda wanted to for a while, but the movie is good.
