Sounds like Burton failed to do what Taika Waititi would later accomplish just a year or two later.

Eva Green is one of those actors whose career seems to be perpetual idling mode. They just need that one role for it take off but it takes forever to arrive. Although it had some funny moments, I thought Dark Shadows was a mess. Green, however, was one of the positive elements (especially in how she seemed to be…

I watched Dark Shadows every day one summer in the 80s when it was rerunning on a local channel and I definitely think it could have been both a good movie and satisfied fans.

Eva Green in the perfect red dress.

NOPE and NOPE teamed up again for NOPE.

Honestly Eva Green was pretty much the only thing that kept me watching Penny Dreadful for as long as I did.

It was quite bad. It was not “a lot of fun.” It was an almost-Madea-like mishmash of styles: a little comedy (in the loosest sense of the word), a little horror).

What's the twist? She's the same character from 'Let Me In'?

No. 

Absolutely. Sure, some initial reactions were overexuberant, as they often are. But on the whole, it’s a really enjoyable film - likeable, and funny, and with an engaging plot - and one that’s also very clever, and really well shot and acted and directed. It’s a shame that a lot of people now seem to treat all those…

You’re obviously forgetting Rolanda Shits.

I love the movie, but I think it could honestly lose some of the nightclub stuff to shorten it up. There’s so much material in there that it’s practically a movie on its own.

I’m usually amused by backlash, but this one bugged me. I really don’t know what more The Artist could have done. It’s very good at what it is.

More modern films should have adorable dogs like back in the good ol’ days.

“... words fail me. Words fail me.”

i just rewatched “the artist” & sure, it’s a feel-good crowd-pleaser that’s a cross between “singing in the rain” & “a star is born” but boy, it’s entertaining.

The end of the movie always makes me tear up. Like Gwen says, the love and determination (for a guy who frankly doesn’t seem to deserve it a lot of the time) is the throughline in a wild movie and here it’s what’s left.

Sounds like her daughter. Or what happens to 90% of the women in Hollywood who vanish after they turn 32.

I didn’t even need to listen. I could have told anyone: The Criterion Channel.

Everything else is the equivalent of the low priced dvd bin. You might find a classic but you still have to dig through a lot of crap.

This site becoming insufferably woker-than-thou didn’t totally drive me away, but this new style to maximize clicks is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Peace out after 23 years, AV Club.
