I know a lot of people who felt the same, numbersix. Half the screening room was empty, last year in Cannes, by the time the film ended...

Posted by: GalacticPothealer on Jul 18, 09:12 in response to numbersix_99's post I found Boonmee inaccessible. Even the positive critics...

And I know critics that walked out and still gave it four stars :-)

So Who Saw What Last Week? (me - Horrible Bosses: B-, Animal Kingdom: B-) {nm} islander Jul 18, 07:09

The Town (C+); Red (A-); Secretarait (B-) {nm} Juiced Jul 18, 07:11

"C+, oh no, a C+?"... "C+, C+"... "You'll shoot your eye out, you'll shoot your eye out". lobogotti Jul 18, 07:15

I hated The Town. Another attempt by Affleck to be gritty amidst a ridiculous story with awful characterisations. D for me {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 07:32

Ouch! Poor Ben. Argo sounds like a NoGo for you. {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:34

I like the back story to Argo, so it'll be more like approach with extreme caution! {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 07:39

Yikes, I know whose opinion to never trust.. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 18, 07:52

I was debating a B-. I liked it I just thought it got kinda slow there in the middle. Lively's character basically getting her (spoilers) Juiced Jul 18, 07:32

i hear ya. {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:34

Death at the Funeral (C) {nm} EuroFund Jul 18, 07:14

war week? {nm} ndmaster Jul 18, 07:29

Joining in your Star Wars ratings: C, F, D, B+, A, B {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 07:38

D is a little harsh for the third one! I liked that one quite a bit. {nm} Juiced Jul 18, 07:48

The performances, the scenes that contradict the original trilogy, and the NOOOOOO make it unforgivable {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 08:17

B-, D, B, A, A+, B {nm} tribality Jul 18, 08:39

Hobo with a Shotgun C; Mangal Pandey: The Rising B; Pros and Ex-Cons C- {nm} edzep Jul 18, 07:18

Rango (2011) B , Rubber (2010) B , Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) C , Battle: Los Angeles (2011) C , and... joeoftexas Jul 18, 07:26

Care to elaborate on Uncle Boonmee? I'm curious what your thoughts are... {nm} GalacticPothealer Jul 18, 07:33

I found Boonmee inaccessible. Even the positive critics basically said "I don't get it, but I just love it" {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 07:34

I know a lot of people who felt the same, numbersix. Half the screening room was empty, last year in Cannes, by the time the film ended... GalacticPothealer Jul 18, 09:12

Tribulation 99 (B-), Shadows (B+), Animal Kingdom (B), Ma Vie en Rose (B), Snabba Cash (C) {nm} GalacticPothealer Jul 18, 07:35

Tribulation 99 is a good one. {nm} joeoftexas Jul 18, 09:10

Uncle Boonmee is technically a good film, it just seems like the director A.W. keeps revisiting the same territory that he has already... joeoftexas Jul 18, 08:37

True. I saw it twice, had interviewed the director in between, and got the hang of it better the second time round... GalacticPothealer Jul 18, 09:10

I see MSnob and now you say that Rubber gets not only a passing grade, but high marks. Really? Is it really that good? {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:42

I think you have to like that sort of thing. I want to see it but have to find time to watch it by myself haha. Juiced Jul 18, 07:49

I would get "what did the five fingers say to the face".... lobogotti Jul 18, 07:55

HAHA. Definitely a possibility. {nm} Juiced Jul 18, 08:00

its farce with a little deconstruction thrown in and its a bout a killer tire, whats not to love? {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 08:29

^^^ What he said. :) ^^^ {nm} joeoftexas Jul 18, 08:38

Harry Potter 8 C- {nm} autobot66 Jul 18, 07:28

Horrible Bosses, B+, Harry Potter 4, B-, The Aviator, D {nm} ndmaster Jul 18, 07:29

showza...a D for The Aviator? curious about your thoughts on this one? {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:41

i rented it just because of dicaprio ndmaster Jul 18, 08:46

I never try to convince someone to like a movie. you either like it or you don't. however, I truly loved the film. lobogotti Jul 18, 08:52

One of my favorites because it showed Hughes both the genius and man dealing with serious mental illness mrbeankc Jul 18, 10:09

i will confess that i fast-forwarded it a couple times. it was late. {nm} ndmaster Jul 18, 08:47

My least fav Scorsese flick. Thematically anaemic, rambling, boring, and Blanchett was a caricature of Hepburn {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 09:06

you liked Bringing Out the Dead more? {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 09:11

Bringing and Shutter both sucked, but not as hard as Aviator ;) {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 10:17

Or, Shutter Island? Bleah. {nm} edzep Jul 18, 10:00

Shutter Island was disappointingly predictable. {nm} Juiced Jul 18, 12:13

The Guard C+, Leap Year (the 2010 Mexican film) C- {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 07:33

so I shouldn't anticipate DC and BrendanGlee? {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:43

Well, it's worth a watch. Some really funny moments, just not as good as I hoped {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 18, 08:18

Another Earth: C+, Barney's Version: B-, El Superbeasto: D (straight porn), Just Go With It: D {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 07:38

i didnt like Another Earth either and think Fox went too nuts at Sundance and that includes MMMM. Another Voice isnt a good pick up either {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 08:35

sound of my voice {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 08:36

just wasn't a solid film. C+ was for original screenplay. there was a lot of bad acting in the film, but not by the leads so much. {nm} lobogotti Jul 18, 08:41

Horrible Bosses B, The Godfather A+, {nm} Dorfman Jul 18, 07:43

Patricio Guzman's terrific "Nostalgia for the Light" A, "Hanna" B+ (last three minutes C-), National Theatre's "The Cherry Orchard" A. {nm} second gary Jul 18, 07:59
