Because if they had called it The Kung Fu Kid, people would have called it a ripoff instead of a remake.

I saw Winter's Bone on Friday night.
It was very, very well done. But I cannot shake this comparison - and I'll probably be laughed off the planet - it reminded me of a serious, more realistic Fargo; where the location becomes a character of its own. In the way Fargo supposedly captured the far north, Winter's Bone captures the backhills of Missouri. And it's a place I never want to venture. In fact, there should be a charity setup designed to get kids out of places like that.

Yup...I thought it was pretty good for what it's worth. Could it have been better sure. I mean in parts maybe it seemed kind of disjointed, but overall definitely not bad in my opinion. Keep in mind it's based off of real accounts of a true story. That always makes movies like these better in my opinion...knowing that there's some bit of truth behind it no matter how much exactly. Kind of reminded me of a poor man's Guy Ritchie movie or something. You might like it.

Saw the Girl Who Played with Fire last night. Thought there was a pretty significant drop off between the first and second movies and didn't really think that was the case with the books.

I'm going to see Nest this Tuesday. It's weird because in the second book she's not supposed to be "normal" looking yet in the second movie she is. Then in the third book, she's supposed to be more "normal" and in the third movie she reverts to movie 1's eccentric style. It's one of those "good movies" but it's hard to tell people that when you discuss, sometime thereafter, the actual premise. That and it's depressing. (Or uplifting as it makes you thankful you didn't grow up in that dogshit.)

I just finished watching Inception.
Overrated. I like DiCaprio a lot. He, as usual, delivered. But the movie itself was decent, nothing extraordinary. Last edited by Fritz88; 11-13-2010 at 09:44 AM.. |

I watched the Secret In Their Eyes a couple of weeks ago.
It's an Argentinean movie. In Spanish, of course. However, if you are into a movie that truly lives up to its title, then you should check this one out. Here are some general observations... -Brilliant acting and directing. -Sound track is sick and blends perfectly with every scene. -The intense emotions between the protagonists, and how well they convey them is something I have rarely seen in any other movie. |

Anyone up for a twisted black Comedy should consider watching The World's Greatest Dad. I loved it. Really captures this hidden hypocrisy that many of us have. How we overly glorify those of us who die. Even if they do not deserve an ounce of it.

Watched it last night as well. It definitely lived up to the hype. Excellent flick.
