Really hated a movie like Requiem for a Dream? I don't love the thing, even though it made me cry, but I could never commit to really hating this movie when there's much much worse that deserve the hate. Especially since there are other good things about it, whereas a movie like National Treasure 2 actually kicks my mother.

Preference, it's a funny thing.

That movie was awesome!

that movie and trainspotting gaqve everyone a damn good insight at what doing those kind of things is like. Sadly those that dont know what its all about dont know what the experience is like
 
Yeah, Disturbia was pretty cool. Sure it's pretty much Rear Window, it still entertained me and was solid... until the end. I didn't like the end at all.

Uh, last movie I saw was Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. Just like any other Anger film that I've seen, it isn't the most exciting thing but it has rich visuals.

I was gonna watch L'Âge d'Or now but my light bulbs died today while I was taking a shit so now I have to do the hike to get new ones.

It has huge, gaping plot holes.

Just because something gets an emotional response out of someone doesn't make it good. I cry during General Hospital and that show is shit, but I get involved in the characters and their struggles.

Yeah but there's something in there that you like so it's good to you. That's all that matters.
But since you're sharing that with me, I enjoyed Never Back Down and it's shit.

Besides, I didn't say that Requiem for a Dream was a good movie only cuz it made me cry, though any movie that makes me cry that much deserves something. I simply said there were other good things about it. For example: the story is simple but affective, showing you a bunch of people living with an obsession.

The fast-motion, the close ups, when they're shooting up. It's not amazing but it works.

The split screen part with Sara and Harry where they move onto each others screen.

Aronofsky uses the camera to show us how they feel and it's done well.

Is it amazing? Top 25 material? Nah, but it is a good movie, plot holes and all. Though I really don't see the "gaping" holes like you do, then again I haven't seen it in a while either, so take that with a grain of salt/don't get too involved with that opinion. I could probably remember more qualities if I could remember it better.

At least it tries something.
 
Gone Baby Gone- unusually good movie about a kidnapping which poses a very interesting moral dilemma at the end.

Should they have let the Police Captain keep the kid or give her back to her loser of a Mother??

Logically/Legally: Give her back

Emotionally: She was better off with the stable family.

I knew they broke the law, I knew what they did was wrong, but the kid was better off away from her Mother...
 
It was a good movie. In fact, it could have been my favourite or second favourite movie of the year if it hadn't been a year where There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, The Assassination of Jesse James and maybe another movie or two, were released.

I haven't watched much lately... I'm slipping. I usually watch a movie a day.
