I wasn't expecting much, and it looked very 28 Days Later-esque, but I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from being depressing, it had some pretty hilarious scenes, and Will Smith is continuously awesome. I didn't so much like the actual creatures or the whole lame butterfly symbolism, but overall, it was done well.
AWESOME. Timothy Olyphant is amazing. I really didn't expect to love this so much, but it was actually shot really well, and I could probably watch Olyphant running around all day every day. Also, I'm ridiculously happy that they ended it in a way that didn't make me want to throw up. Predictable at times, but few things aren't in film these days. Now excuse me while I go watch Deadwood / Scream II / anything else he's ever been in.
I usually avoid Keri Russell, but I ended up seeing this randomly, and I pretty much loved it. Her accent wasn't overdone, but it was still pretty comical. Any movie with pie as a central theme gets an A+ from me, and most of the script was actually amusing. Once again, Jeremy Sisto is secure in his role, playing the biggest asshole ever. But I can't help but love him. Also, Nathan Fillion is hot.
It was so much better than I was expecting. I'll needlessly point out how amazing both the cast(s) and directors all are. I especially enjoyed Gus Van Sant's segment with Gaspard Ulliel, and I really wish most of his movies were that short and likable. Some of the stories were a bit depressing, but in a sort of beautiful way. Anyway, I really want to go to Paris now, so A++.
Had its points, but other than the snuff film and body dismemberment in the bathtub, I didn't find it to be anything too special. I definitely enjoyed the ending, though.
Definitely not my favorite Argento. Lovely visual style, as always, but I suppose I'm not one for lagging plots. The animal scenes are priceless, though. Worth watching at least once.
I love the establishing shots in the beginning of the film, as well as Lado's little veil symbolism. Both the harmonica score and Demis Roussos song are absolutely brilliant. Any film that shares a cast with Dario Argento films can't be half bad, in my opinion.
AMAZING cast. JT Leroy may not actually exist, but I can still appreciate "his" books as the fictional accounts they are. And Asia absolutely does this one justice. There's very little I wouldn't do to be an Argento.
The acting is surprisingly decent, and Kristina Anapau's definite eye-candy. They probably should have gone easy on the amount of "plot twists" toward the middle/end, but I actually didn't mind this film in and of itself. That's probably due in large part to the fact that every character turns out to be a complete asshole. That, and I was eating a tasty quesadilla at the time.
I appreciate the ending since it basically discredits the lameness of the first 90% of the film. To be perfectly honest, anyone who attempts to view this seriously should be committed. It's a faux-prequel, and as such by definition bites.
