After the awards Dallas Buyers Club roped in I decided to watch it today. Almost fell asleep halfway through and just decided to stop watching. I mean, its exactly what its advertised as, HIV+ guy selling drugs to other HIV people. I'm not sure why I expected somethingeven remotelyentertaining.

There's a difference between movies for entertainment, and films made to make you think. If you're not into/in a mood for the subject matter, you're not going to enjoy the latter.

DBC had my attention pretty much from start to finish, and rustled my jimmies in the process.

I have no doubt the acting was top notch, but its just doesnt sound like a movie i want to see. Still havent seen million dollar baby even though i have no doubt its an excellent movie. Some situations are just too fucked up to sit through.

I tried to watch Bridesmaids because Bill Murray said it was funny. And I have to admit, he probably wasn't wrong, and Kristen Wiig is just great and now I have 2 things that I can point to and say, "She wasn't bad in that" -- but her comedy is like an open wound. It's not funny because it's so fucked up. It's just fucked up.

There are a lot of movies that are probably exceptional for one reason or another but no, just no.

Bridesmaids had some funny bits. But just like SNL, when they found a funny, they drove that fucker into the ground.

transformers: rise of the fallen or something else that's just as CGI action packed and brain dead is probably more up your alley.

The story of a small time slave owner going against all the odds to enter the big leagues

Did anyone see All is Lost? I read some good things and Oscar snubbing accusations. Downloaded last night and will probably watch tonight.

I think it's commendable in its radicalism, but I feel the movie had two option to be satisfying: the first was to manage to surprise us and take us places we did not expect, the second was to stretch and stylize it and make it a sensorial, almost mystical experience (something like the lost at sea part of Valhalla Rising). As the movie does neither, watching the movie does not feel like a necessity if you have seen the trailer: the movie you expected happened and voil?.
