Pretty funny. Liked the first half a lot. The movie died for me later on. Lots of Benny Hill type of sequences.

I liked Paul Giamatti, Mark Webber, and John Goodman. It was also cute seeing Mike Shank from American Movie. Also cool that Belle and Sebastian did the music.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - R

Not as great as I expected, but those who like dramadies may like it a lot. A good examination in relationships. I think this movie may be notorious for some pen0r.

Tokyo Story (Tôkyô monogatari) - Unrated
|
|
Heart wrenching, emotional film. I didn't expect it to be so sad, although I think the Criterion cover should've clued me in. The part that affected me the most was when Mother tells Isamu that she wonders if she will be around to see him become a doctor. Nice to see more trains in this film.

Charming at times, and times just downright lame. It's visually impressive, I liked a lot of shots. Use of CGI was well done. Overall, it's a good watch for kids. Natalie Portman was lovely and lovable and Jason Bateman is always a pleasure. Dustin Hoffman is unbearable but you'll get over him. Portman will distract you ;)

I hated Gus Van Sant, but now... I'm not so sure. The music and the Chris Doyle cinematography also helped this movie. Wow.

This really needs to be experienced in a large IMAX theater or a nice home theater setup. I missed it in theaters so I have to settle for DVD. It's visually terrific and there's so much action. However, I still felt that the movie was too long. But it's not a terrible movie. This would be useful if you're looking to distract a group of kids while babysitting.

It's fun but I didn't have super fun watching it. I think I was just not in the mood. Cameo from Chester Bennington from LP? Haha. Read the other reviews, not too bad, just over the top. Some bad CG here and there.

La Strada (The Road) - PG

I liked this better than 8 1/2 as I found it more interesting. I wasn't moved by this story, although the very end was pretty sad. Stars for the technical aspects and for Giulietta Masina, who is as cute as a button. I find Vittorio De Sica's films a whole lot more emotional.

I loved it for the tearjerker I found it to be. I love the story but it could've been better, but it's good for the mainstream crowd.... and really, really sad.

People say this is THE best Coens movie but I can't say the same. I know I'm missing something and I'll have to watch this over again. Great performances, however, and an epic scene with Albert Finney.

Mix of political thriller and action movie. Has mostly elements of the hokey action film but is still a very entertaining watch. Statham even gets to kick some ass like he does in all his movies.
