    Yay! I'm not alone!

    Yes, his accuracy was amazing, but one other aspect that impressed me was the mystical element to to the ending. Know what I mean?

    I remember liking "Jeff, who lives at home" as well Sancho.

    Something totally different from that is "Guns, Girls and Gambling" which I thought was pretty stupid until the ending sort of clarified things. Probably the best part was watching how those two pistols fit perfectly in their holsters against Helena Mattson's butt while she walked in her black outfit.

    Score 5/10.

    I saw The Tree of Life today. Absolutely stunning, but I need to see it again (and again) to really grasp it. Which is a good thing.

    You are not alone, Lykren! And, yes, I do, and that, I think, is what made it beautiful.

    Not bad. Not bad at all. Kind of a sleeper. I streamed it on Netflix. Didn't know anything about it. It was just a shot in the dark and I was pleasantly surprised. In the opening scene I said to myself, "New Orleans". It just had that feel about it. Turns out it was Baton Rouge - I was close.
    I caught this on an indie movie channel we get. I'd read a review which was positive. I liked it. It's hard not to like Jason Segal, but even so, this was good material. Kind of similar to my life, too.

    It's awesome, isn't it? "Day's of Heaven," which he directed is one of my favorite movies.

    I watched Shaun Of The Dead with my cousins, though it's not a great movie, but we enjoyed it. 6/10

    It's much better than Dawn of the Dead, in my opinion lol.

    The Dark Knight, again. Besides batmans voice, I absolutely love that movie.

    I saw Shaun of the Dead a few years ago, Snowqueen. It's a fun little zombie movie. Actually, I watched one last week called Juan of the Dead. Hmmm, It was a kind of Latin remake of Shaun of the Dead. Not bad, really. 7/10

    Saw Spring Breakers tonight. 6/10 It was alright. Parts of this movie were quite good. Other parts seemed a bit lazy and self-indulgent. Harmony Korine's use of repetition in parts was ineffective and dragged down the narrative, but when he actually devoted time to the narrative watching the slow degradation of the 'spring breaker's' moral choices was and their transformation into something other than the all American girls they initially seemed to represent was an exercise in something close to existential horror. I thought James Franco did an excellent job. Parts of it also seemed unintentionally funny.

    The Dark Knight. I still don't get what people see in that heap of rubbish. 3/10 is a generous rating.

    On the other hand, I saw Apocalypse Now for the fifth time in a row last week and if any movie completely blows its book adaptation out of the water, it is this one. I have never seen such a fantastic movie based on a book that is so mind numbingly boring. 10/10

    L.A. Confidential is also terrific. 9.8/10

    I remember liking Wayne's World and I can't remember much about the Dark Knight anymore. Shaun of the Dead was gruesomely funny.

    My wife and I saw the Good Doctor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1582271/) last night and we could not understand why the doctor was doing the things he was doing. The story did not hold together unlike Side Effects which seemed to be more satisfying although perhaps more unlikely. They were both well-made movies, but one had a good story and the other did not.

    Score: 3/10

    Hi Shaman Raman, welcome to Litnet. I haven’t seen Dawn of the Dead just a few scenes on TV and didn’t like it. Shaun of the Dead was a lot better no doubt.

    .
    I’ve passed this suggestion to my cousins, it seems they liked it. Hopefully they will give me a call whenever they saw Jaun of the Dead. lol

    Tree of Life is perhaps the worst movie I saw in all of 2012. Obviously our experiences of the film were subjective and our own but did you actually enjoy that pool of scum?

    Artistic and self-indulgent at the expense of plot, emotion or character. Non-linear for no apparent reason. What is the reason for the dinosaurs? The several minute long shots of moving magma? Perhaps Mallick simply only had thirty pages of 60s coming-of-age exploration script and decided to make a full length film based on it by filling all the empty minutes with nonsensical over-the-top artistic garbage. Scenes of a boy roaming in a 60s neighbourhood are juxtaposed with long-running magma, planets, or a dinosaur. Brilliant work, Mallick, why don't you try adding some actual narrative content next time? That way people won't leave the theatre in droves, and those are the ones who didn't fall asleep.

    I'll save you the torture of a second watch. There's nothing to really grasp. It's a terrible movie that tries so desperately hard to represent a universal idea but ends up just kicking plot in the face. The result is dull beyond toleration and makes little sense.

    Just one man's opinion but I thought that movie was absolutely the worst I'd seen in years. 1/10
    While the truncheon may be used
    in lieu of conversation,
    words will always retain their power.
    Words offer the means to meaning,
    and for those who will listen,
    the enunciation of truth.

    Sorry, I already watched it again. Liked it that time too.

    I'm always confused by the use of the phrase 'self-indulgent' to describe art. How is taking time and energy to make something self-indulgent, particularly something that obviously took years of intense labor?

    I'm also baffled by your use of the word 'artistic' in a pejorative sense. What?
