The Town -

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz / 10

Did you not like it?!

Put it this way, I can't remember the last time I wanted a movie to end so badly. Jeremy Renner was the films only saving grace, delivering a sinister yet compelling performance, but even his beacon of light couldn't shine through the abyss of Ben Affleck's monotonous, wooden "acting" and an extremely by the numbers script. It was just ... blah.

We usually agree on a lot of films, Feev, but I think you are off on this one. It's easily one of the best films of the year.

I know people love to hate on Affleck, but his performance here was solid. Is it a paint by numbers heist film? Maybe, but what's wrong with that if you do it well and The Town did it very well? Some of the action scenes had me on the edge of my seat and the final heist is right up there with Heat.

I think you might need to watch this one again at some point.

Tron: Legacy 8/10. It was good, and refreshing to see some visual updates. The 3D was alright but nothing special. The story line was alright. there is one CGI thing with this movie that reminded me of watching Beowulf. Now I have to go watch the original again.

Watched Shutter Island last night and I loved it.
20/10
I loved that it had alot of twist in it and I can honestly say I never saw the end coming. That surprised me. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

True Grit - 7/10

Not the best Coen film, but still highly enjoyable.

[fernandito]

I'd rather watch grass grow or paint dry then willingly submit myself to Affleck's torturous acting and spoon fed Boston "accent". Seriously.

[Still Servant]

To each his own. Some people just cannot get past their hatred for an actor. I don't get it.

Go watch Good Will Hunting and come back here and tell me Affleck can't act. I dare you.

[fernandito]

To each his own. Some people just cannot get past their hatred for an actor. I don't get it.

I could very easily turn that around and say that some people can't get past their exuberant love for an actor to see his flaws

And that's just the thing, I don't hate Affleck. He was my favorite part of Dogma. I even loved him in Daredevil for God's sake. But here, in this film, he was horrible, plain and simple.

Falling Down

4 out of 5 stars. Depressed me so I had to neg it a star.

Great movie! I loved it, but you are right it is a touch on the depressing side.

[pathoftheturtle]

I usually give movies extra stars for depressing realism. Especially Falling Down. A real cult classic.

...Affleck's ... spoon fed Boston "accent". ...

This, I do not understand. What was the problem with his accent? You'd think it'd come naturally.

[fernandito]

You'd think so, wouldn't you ? It doesn't unfortunately. He over delivers it, feels forced. Watch the film and you'll see what I mean.

Legion
4 out of 5 stars

A little confusing and a little bit draggy... but I liked the concepts.

I can't wait to rewatch this movie! LOVES it!

I actually don't love Affleck, I just don't see why people give him such a hard time. I do love Matt Damon though. He's my favorite actor.

I guess I will just have to disagree with you on The Town and Ben's performance, along with most other critics I might add.

Black Swan 9.5/10

Black Swan is the biggest case of life imitating art in the history of cinema. Natalie Portman gives a haunting performance as a ballerina that is literally uncomfortable in her own body to the point where she claws and scratches at her own skin.

Portman plays Nina Sayers, a ballerina going out for the pivotal role in the play Swan Lake. The director, played by Vincent Cassel, is convinced that she can play White Swan perfectly. He’s just not convinced she can play White Swan’s evil twin, Black Swan.

In order to find the Black Swan in herself, she must become a different person. She must let go of her safe life and unlock a darker, more uninhibited side of her personality. This seems like an impossible task considering Nina lives with her mother (Barbara Hershey) in a small New York apartment. Her child-like demeanor and naiveté is evidenced by her bedroom, with the butterfly wallpaper and polka-dot bed sheets. In order to get even a second of privacy, Nina barricades herself in the bathroom and her bedroom.

When the films starts, Nina is already a very fragile person. What makes things worse is that everybody in her life helps push her to the edge of madness. Her ballet-obsessed mother, who gives new meaning to the overbearing stage mom; her director, who seems to be attracted to her, but whether it’s genuine or some sick game to get her to unleash her inner Black Swan is unclear; and hen there’s Lilly, played by Mila Kunis in a career-defining performance.

Kunis plays Lilly, a fellow member of the dance company, who may or may not be out to sabotage Nina and her dream of being the perfect White and Black Swan. Nina’s quest for perfection sends her into a tailspin of paranoid delusions and psychotic hallucinations. Lilly is the main reason for Nina’s paranoia. She is almost the spitting image of Nina, except she is everything Nina needs to be in order to nail the part of Black Swan. She’s laid back, free spirited and, most of all, she exudes sexuality.

Black Swan boasts one of the better musical scores you will find in a film all year. The heart pounding orchestral numbers will have you on the edge of your seat - especially in the last 30 minutes of the film.

With Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky has woven a taut, psychological thriller like nothing I’ve ever seen. It deals with the physical and emotional tolls that being a professional dancer can have on a person. It also shows how a person can literally destroy themselves in the quest for perfection.

[haunted.lunchbox]

Your review is taunting me. I haven't gotten to see it yet.

[fernandito]

Glad you enjoyed Black Swan, Mike. It truly is an incredible film. I'm actually going to take my sister to watch it again tonight

Affleck isn't that bad. And I've enjoyed his directing abilities so far. I really enjoyed his cameo in Boiler Room. Heavily inspired by Alec Baldwin in Glengary Glenross. I could easily deal with Affleck in a leading role if the supporting cast is as good as The Towns was.

[cozener]

I actually don't love Affleck, I just don't see why people give him such a hard time.

Y'know, I don't get that either. I'm not saying the guy is the best actor out there but he's better than most.

This makes me sad. I wasn't overly thrilled with his acting in this one either, but it didn't stop me from loving the film Also I think he's excellent behind the camera, and I hope he makes many more films.

I can't remember, have you seen Gone Baby Gone Feev? And if so did you like it?

[kluker]

Just got done watching The Unthinkable really good movie about terrorism bombs torture all good things.
I give it a 10/10
Samuel L Jackson has the crazy guy thing down pack

[fernandito]

I can't remember, have you seen Gone Baby Gone Feev? And if so did you like it?

Nope, but I've read good things ! Well ... mostly from you and Mike Is it worth getting on netflix ?

Yes, definitely! I think you'll like it a lot more than The Town.

[haunted.lunchbox]

Gone Baby Gone was pretty good throughout, but I HATED how it ended!

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

Gone Baby Gone was pretty good throughout, but I HATED how it ended!

Same here.

One time watcher because of said ending

[fernandito]

Yes, definitely! I think you'll like it a lot more than The Town.

And Affleck's duties are exclusive to behind the camera, right ? No Boston accents to be found ?
