Just got back from True Grit, and I absolutely loved it.

Burke & Hare, in Leicester Square on Sunday ..

 

[Ninja108]

Batman Returns

 

[CGHJ]

Tron, and it was fucking horrible. I was a big fan of the original and I was so excited, been waiting for months, and even took a cab to the theater ($$!) because it was raining and I couldn't bike there and I just had to fucking see it. Fie on you Disney.

Disney's Christmas Carol...the memory lane trip continues...

I watched that a few nights ago. Much better than I expected. It wasn't over Disney-fied and stayed mostly true to book. Carey was a great Scrooge and didn't get inappropriately goofy like I thought he would. Zemekis's motion capture lended itself well to achieve a dream-like state.


The last movie I saw was Robin Hood last night. Very boring and disappointing for a Ridley Scott directed movie. Russel Crowe played himself rather than Robin. And poor Cate Blanchet's talent was wasted.

I think "Ninja108" was referring to the 1983 cartoon version that Disney did which featured Mickey mouse as "Bob Cratchit".

Black Swan- It got a bit ridiculous and unconvincing towards the end (not on account of its cast), but all that was soon forgotten after the black swan emerges. Overall it was a thrilling emotional trip through the tortured mind of a dedicated artist. Not only Darren Aronofsky's best film, but Natalie Portman is SENSATIONAL. I can't recall a better or more inspired performance in a long time. She will be winning every award there is.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox- Wes Anderson's style suits this stop-motion family film wonderfully. The characters and voice performances were all great as well. It's worth watching for the labored-over art and character design alone.

I was indeed, but the other version is good as well.

Tron, the original. the visuals hold up remarkably well for a 30 years old film. but the cgi gets repetitive after a while, and the story is boring, corny, and mostly incomprehensible. still, i know i would have loved this as a kid, and i can still see its charm as an adult.

Black Swan, again.

 

[Apollo]

Black Swan. It was absolutely breathtaking, especially the end when she was the black swan. I left so happy from that movie

I think the mom was the most unconvincing part.

I am considering seeing it... but wanted to know if it's worth it. hmm. maybe not... I still might see it for the effects, but for almost 10 dollars (even a matinee)... I might wait for dvd... I saw the original back in 83 and loved it. Can you tell me more by PM?

I don't know when it started, but this is a tradition with us, watching this movie...

I'm sure no one here has ever seen it. It's considered the pilot movie for the tv series "The Waltons", a US drama series from 1972-1982

I can't believe I didn't watch "A Christmas Story" this year! I usually catch it during its 24-hour marathon run on TBS (US cable station).

Easy A. Love that movie
