NorthSideSox72 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Dispicable Me was funny, not as good as Toy Story 3, but wasn't trying to be either. Not as deep, but more funny moments. Agreed with Kyle, the Minions were hilarious. Just a solid comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Up in the Air last weekend. Pretty good film, though it may have been a little over-praised. Watched Zombieland again this weekend. What an awesome movie.

Jenksismyhero Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Probably already been discussed, but thoughts on Burton's Alice In Wonderland? Cool visuals, but otherwise pretty meh IMO. Depp was mediocre at best (was the scottish accent to british accent to no accent at all on purpose?), Hellenah Bonham Carter just screamed the whole time, and the award for most awkward out of place scene in a movie goes to . TOTALLY out of place and weird. From a serious, ominous tone of music to funk tones from the 80's? Just brutal. Made my fiance and I cringe. VERY cool effects throughout though.

Generally agree with that, posted similar thoughts back when it came out. We saw it in IMAX 3D, so visually it was a top-notch movie. Mediocre otherwise, but not bad.

I just got around to seeing the film and I agree the visuals were the strongest part — as tends to be the case with Burton. All in all I thought it was an entertaining film. As far as the dance scene at the end, maybe the dance and music style were an odd selection intended to be strictly humorous, but the scene itself was not out of place. Hatter had been noted earlier at teh Tea Party to be teh best Futterwhaken (sp??) dancer in Underland (I love that name — nice touch by Burton), and Hatter made a point the of saying that he would not Futterwhaken until the Queen of Hearts was unthroned. So it made sense that there woudl be a Hatter dance scene there, even if that particular song and dance don't quite come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I get why the included it, it's just that the execution (from the dance itself, to the music...but mainly the music) was so bad and out of place.

I couldn't get into it. I only know the Disney "kidded up" version, so not sure how dark the book and stuff are, but just didn't enjoy it. I say it all the time, but I want Tim Burton to make movies that are orginal. I like Ed Wood, Big Fish, Beetlejuice, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Saw a matinee of Predators today. Pretty fun movie. There was a lot of cool stuff, but the subject matter doesn't exactly leave room for a very deep movie. A couple of times I found myself yawning during action scenes though.

The job he did in this movie was one of the best I've ever seen. I liked Becket more than A Man for All Seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most of you are too young (it's from 1978), but it was on last night and I watched it at work. First time I've seen it in years. They just don't make movies like that anymore...
