Synedoche New York.

I liked it though I'm not sure I got it. Then again, that seems to be a common reaction. Tongue

Oh I do so want to see that one!!

Tonight I watched The Iron Lady with some French friends. It was pretty good.

Avengers

It was pretty good for what it tried to be.

Finally got around to The Artist yesterday. I really liked it, although I don't think it's top-tier. A bit too internal for my taste.

Fargo

I had seen it before many years ago but I didn't remember it too well.

It's an interesting film. You really can't go wrong with Buscemi. Great score too.

One of my all time favorites.

Safe

Plot was absolutley ridiculous of course but that's actually part of its charm. It worked for what it was supposed to be. BTW this is the third action movie I've seen all year that based on profanity seems like it was written for a PG-13 but got an R anyway (after Haywire and Safe House), which if anything is a positive sign after studios wussed away from R ratings for years.

Iron Sky.

A stupid movie but in a good way. And I rarely think that of a movie. Tongue

Reservoir Dogs. The plot was somewhat incoherent, but the acting was excellent.

I seem to be in the minority but I regard that as one of QT's weaker films. Still pretty good though.

Apparently the users of IMDb think Avengers is one of the top thirty movies of all-time. I can't really judge because I haven't seen it yet. Oh, and it already has over 51,000 votes, and it hasn't even been released in the U.S. yet, correct?

Nothing against THE AVENGERS but I wouldn't trust IMDb users to rank ice cream flavors, let alone the top thirty films of all time.

When well received "event" movies come out, they tend to always debut pretty high on imdb. It'll drop back soon enough. To be fair though, the movie is getting pretty incredible reviews from actual critics.

And yes, it doesn't come out nationwide in the States until 12 AM Friday.

Not sure but I certainly don't have any interest in it. The found footage genre blows in general as far as I'm concerned.

This isn't a "found footage" movie, it's shot normally from what I can tell, but it does look pretty generic and unimpressive. The best horror movies are the ones that get in your head and all, not just showing people die really gory deaths a la Saw, Hostel, etc. or simply having things jump out of nowhere.

I wanna see Roger Ebert's thoughts on the Avengers before I see it.  I thought Captain America, Thor, Iron Man 2, etc. sucked and Ebert was the only major reviewer thumbs down on all three.  If he likes this, then maybe it's different.

Actually, Ebert liked Captain America and Iron Man 2. He gave them both 3/4. He notoriously hated Thor though. Only gave that 1.5/4.

Personally I've liked all of the Marvel Studios movies except for Iron Man 2. What did you think of the first Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk?

Still, 3/4 is his "meh it does it's job" rating, not a go see it one.  (He gave 4/4 to TDK, BB, IM and SM 2 for example). I really liked the first Iron Man.  The Incredible Hulk was decent, but Ruffalo replacing Norton?  I'm not so sure.

Many of the reviews are saying that Ruffalo/Hulk actually steals the movie. I'm hopeful.

Well, Ebert gave it a 3 out of 4.

I'm probably going to see it sometime next week once the crowd dies down.

Just saw The Avengers tonight. Pretty decent film. Not as great as I thought it was gonna be, but nonetheless action-packed and thrilling. Recommended.

Braveheart.  My feelings about this movie border on schizophrenic.  It's definitely extremely entertaining, although the characters are quite one dimensional.  It's fun to mimic Edward I's (Patrick McGoohan's) dialogue because of the way he modulates his voice (the "The trouble with Scotland is that it's filled with Scots!" scene is particularly noteworthy in this regard).  At the same time, however, I love history, and Braveheart is simply awful in terms of historical accuracy, even by Hollywood standards.  It's as if someone made a movie in 2700 about the Iraq War in which the war breaks out because George W. Bush finds out that Laura is sneaking into Iraq for trysts with Saddam Hussein.  As I've said before, I don't think historical movies need to be completely accurate.  It's more important to get the spirit of events right than the letter.  However, I believe there is a limit.  Real people suffered and died (and in William Wallace's case, died horrifically) because of the events depicted in Braveheart.  The fact that these events are now more than 700 years in the past doesn't mean that they were any less real.  I believe that we owe these people the respect of depicting their history an a reasonably accurate manner, rather than taking enormous and unnecessary liberties left and right.  The real story of the Scottish War of Independence is dramatic enough, one doesn't need to alter it to nearly the degree Mel Gibson does in Braveheart.

I gave Braveheart a 7 out of 10 on Imdb.  If it were pure fiction, I would have rated it much higher, but I feel I have to deduct some points because of the seriousness of the historical inaccuracies.
