Mr. Bean -- The Holiday

HILARIOUS!!!  Rowan Atkinson, a British actor, trumps a lot of American actors.

Changeling.

Why does it take Clint Eastwood to do what so many younger directors try to do and epicly fail; simple drama, no pretentious nonsense, no "Doesn't Society Suck" message (Are you Listening Sam Mendes?) just classic American style Drama put to perfection. Probably my favourite American film of the year, yes, that's ahead of No Country and There Will be Blood (I'm talking about Irish Release Dates, before anyone gets bitchy. You know who.)

Because Clint Eastwood is a right wing piece of sh!t, so it's not surprising you would like his horrid trash, especially this "Certified Rotten" as opposed to those >90% on RT movies listed that were released in 2007 (and by the way I consider foreign films to be released by the date of their release in their home country, like IMDB.)

WALL-E.

Yes it was awesome. Who would've thought you could get more humanity out of two inanimate mechanical characters than most movies have altogether?

I watched this about a week ago. It was better than I had expected. Don't agree with your assesment relative to those other films though. I feel Eastwood is a competent director with interesting stories to tell but he's a bit lacking when it comes to artistic touch in the delivery.

There are many things for which one can criticize BRTD, but movies don't tend to fall into that category. Tongue

I'm not too surprised that he recognized the greatness of Wall-E.

Did anyone get the feeling that 6 mo. after the end of Wall-E, the landing site would look like a concentration camp with emaciated people eating each other?

Yoiu've found fit to criticize my movie tastes (or lack thereof) several times.

One of the best movies ever, 12 Angry Men.  Great movie.

Followed by one of the worst, John Waters' Pink Flamingo.   Comically bad.  Disgusting.  I couldn't describe how bad some of the acting was.  In a way, it was "Jackass!" 30 years ahead of it's time.  Maybe a little more gross.  A piss snowcone is pretty bad, but eating dog poo might be over the line.

Actually I do agree with what you said there: Eastwood is good craftsman not an artist. I just preferred the film to the overblown NCOM and TWBB (Though now that I think of it, it isn't the best American film of the year. That would be Man On Wire)

Haven't seen that one. We're going to have to disagree on the films though. I'd rank both of those other two higher than Changeling.

I am definitely going to watch some more Eastwood-films though. I've only seen this one and Million Dollar Baby as far as directing goes.

Never seen Unforgiven? What Blasphemy is this.... (I'm happy to agree to disagree on the other two btw; I just found them overblown, pretentious and incoherent in the case of TWBB.)

Romeo and Juliet (1968) - This is how the play should be portrayed on screen.  It's leagues ahead of the 90's crap.

I actually have a reasonable excuse: I rented it, but the rental messed up and the DVD inside was something like Bride of Chucky or some other bad horror movie instead.

On TWBB I can sort of get how someone could feel that way. I guess I just "bought" the whole thing and was sucked in. Agree to disagree it is, I guess. Wink

A friend of mine showed that in her English class several years ago.  It didn't go so well, due to a certain scene in particular.  Now she shows the 1996 version Tongue

It's a strange little film which made me laugh much more than I expected it would. Endearing and funny. Thumbs up from me. Smiley
