What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[BillyG]

AMERICAN HUSTLE

It's ok. As an actor's showcase, it really can't be beat...everyone is pretty great, but Amy Adams really delivers some incredible work. As a movie, it's really lacking in a spark to bring it to life. It's just kinda there, delivering exposition for 2 and a half hours. It's not particularly funny or engaging, so it relies on you being interested in the characters and what they're doing to keep you involved with the movie, and it really faltered for me in the second act.

The good news is that it ended quite strong, so it goes up a few points when the credits roll, but overall it's a big disappointment. You can totally wait for dvd/blu ray on this one.

Plan on seeing this and Wolf of Wall Street tomorrow.

Planning on getting bombed and seeing Keanu's Ninja Scroll movie OR seeing Jonah Hill in his Bill Brasky teeth.

Worthy pursuits.

47 Ronin is so fucking awful.

The Wolf of Wall Street was great, but I can't shake the feeling that I loved one film so much more this year.

That's what is keeping me from finalizing my Top 10 of the year. I feel that Wolf is the best of 2013. However, "Her" is going to be one that I remember 20 years from now.

This. Fine film. Everything from the 70s-ness look, the Scorsese camera techniques, editing and music ques and the performances were exactly as I expected it to be. Everyone delivered but Bale, Adams and Renner knocked it outta the park. But yeah I'm with you, Matt. No real surprises per say.

The Wolf of Wall Street... so phenomenal. I seriously thought about going right back in to see it again as I was walking out. If there is any justice in the world of award-season brown-nosing, DiCaprio will finally claim his Oscar.

[BillyG]

Fuck, just looked up show times for Wolf of Wall Street. 3 full fucking hours? Jesus. Guess I won't be seeing three movies tomorrow after all.

WE'RE THE MILLERS- more like WE'RE THE MEH-LERS, amirite? OLOLOLOL. It was okay but there were parts that felt entirely disconnected from anything. I can't tell if those parts were supposed to be jokes or if they were scenes hurt by an editing choice somewhere else in the film. Most of the good stuff was in the trailer.

[Abraham Smashington]

so mediocre.

Also, good to hear that "Her" is great. I seem to remember people making fun of me when I posted about that on FB about it being stupid.

It's one of those movies that's going to define a generation. I know how fucking hokey that sounds, but I can see Spike Jonze going to his deathbed being proud of this one.

I was talking about it the other day, when Nordling brought up that it's on par with "The Graduate". Honestly, I've got to agree.

It's that big of a gamechanger.

[BillyG]

Is Her on VOD? It's only playing at one fucking AWFUL mall theater here.

I don't think it is yet. It will go wider on the 10th.

If Scarjo doesn't get an Oscar nomination, there's no fucking justice in the world.

[Matt]

I thought that she was already disqualified from contention due to the nature of her role. Could have sworn that I read that somewhere.

Shocking.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Best movie of the year for me. Finally a DiCaprio/Scorsese movie worth your time. Fantastic.

ahd to rewatch my favorite Christmas movie ever. Deeply moving, it's insane that its, a true story. For those not knowing what it is: During WWI, at Christmas, the Germans, French and Scots are all in their respective trenches. The Scots starts singing, accompagnied by their windpipes. The Germans, mainly with one of their privates being a opera singer, starts as well, as soon enough, the windpipes starts to accompany the German star. So, the commanders from each sides meet and call a temporary truce, for Christmas.

Ringing bells here too. Originally, Samantha Morton played the entire part and Jonze essentially took her to one side and said that he didn't feel it was working the way he had intended. Morton gave Jonze 'her blessing' to recast the part and the rest is history.

Very curious to see this one, haven't heard a bad word about it yet.
