Yeah, my biggest problem with "In The Loop" is that it goes in so many different directions that a couple character moments don't really land. Gandolfini's reversal in the final act comes out of nowhere, Simon gets sidelined in a way that makes some big of sense but is utterly unsatisfying.
"No End in Sight" is great. The recent "The Unknown Known" does a great job focusing on Rumsfield's lies, untruths and hypocrisies in the rush to war. "Gunner Palace" is also interesting if you can find it and genuinely kind of horrifying now, especially if you consider the way the rah-rah, cocksure militarism has…
I totally forgot about that part. It is super rough.
That movie drives me up the wall. It's the most tame, boring, lifeless movie that thinks it's an incendiary take down of Bush era war crimes.
It is really weird looking back on 2007-2008 in films, where it seemed like everyone was in a race to put out the most tepid anti-war movie they possibly could.
Cannot tell if this is a gimmick account but I approve either way.
I bought it because I think it's a character with a power that suits Ellis' writing style. A character who finds weakness in others suits him as a writer and he does a solid job emphasizing that Karnak doesn't solely find physical weakness, but the moral, ethical and spiritual weaknesses in others and knows how to…
It is awfully one-note but I think that kind of works in its favor in this case. The metaphor doesn't get muddled too badly and I think it approaches addiction in a way that shows how it can impact people of all races and economic positions.
I read the first three issues of it and it's been ok.
That's a good way to think about it. For all its heavy-handedness, I think that's the reason "Requiem for A Dream" works so well. While it's clearly an anti-drug movie, it's less interested in saying that drug use is something to fight and telling viewers how to do so than showing the way addiction and abuse impacts…
In Italy, "Death to Smoochy" is called "Eliminate Smoochy" and it's my favorite thing about that movie.
That's why I'm doing my part to bring attention to this problem.
People give Crash a lot of well-earned lumps but my god Valley of Elah is terrible.
In 1991, I'd guess something Dianetics related.
Oh, I definitely think its mostly entertaining but its shallow in a way that flattens racism into a BAD thing that BAD people do in a way I am really uncomfortable with. I think "Crash" consistently posits that racism is a thing that people do, like a crime that can be committed without acknowledging the racist…
Only as long as everyone razzes Stuart the whole time.
I did not know this and it somehow does not surprise me at all.
It might not be your thing but he's great in ER.
I like this teamup more than Avengers.
