I don't understand why anyone likes any of the Toy Story films that much, but I (a) never worshiped my toys as much as Pixar's creative films did their toys and (b) don't much like animated films.

No, it's what happens when people recognize a film that was a critical darling and won the Best Picture Oscar is in fact a crock of shit.

@avclub-e30372d24181c9ef514ed4bd2fa2fe93:disqus, I have given it a second chance and felt about the same as I did when I saw it: overrated. One of the problems of the Coens' earlier non-comedy films is that they can feel kind of airless — they're being serious now, which seems to have translated into grim and slow. MC…

I agree that the film is maudlin (the little girl in the red coat being close to a crime against cinema) but it does have some very touching moments (in one of two times that I've cried in a theater, I did lose it during the footage of the surviving people that he saved placing a stone on his tomb) and is a fairly…

I've seen 35/40, and most of them I actually agree have reason to be somewhere in a top 50 list. L.A. Confidential and Carlito's Way are the only two I don't think are worthy of inclusion.

I think Crash will be one of the almost-made-its. It's definitely an intriguing film but beyond its somewhat controversial release, it doesn't seem to have had that much of a lasting impact.

It's a distinctly average film noir — it doesn't do anything with the genre (which other neo-noirs like Blood Simple, The Last Seduction or Red Rock West did). Hanson was a journeyman director for a reason — he was certainly competent but not particularly insightful about the genres he worked in. Thematically, L.A.C…

I was in my mid 20s when I saw it, love sci-fi horror type movies and thought it was a giant piece of stegosaurus crap back then. Its science is idiotic even within the confines of the narrative, its action sequences close to rote, and its character development shameful. I used to show it and Jaws in class as a…

For someone who went to film school, @D_Boons_Ghost, you sure do find it easy to slip between how the term is actually used in film school and how you think people misuse it. The "whole idea of auteur theory" isn't what you said it was in your first post, which is what Mr. Adams corrected.
