No country for old men,--Although at first I did generally like it (saw it in the movie theatres) the ending for me just left me high and dry. Once again, another film that in which the director took a nap in the ninth inning.
I disagree. Just because a movie doesn't have your run-of-the-mill Hollywood "good guys always win" ending didn't make it any less effective than other movies. Sometimes evil does trump good, as much as we'd like to believe in karma. Plus, the Coen Brothers are brilliant.
I'll add to the anti-Lost In Translation brigade. I despise Sophia Coppola's precious elliptical style. Ooooh, ambiguity. Silences. Mysteries of depth.
Adolescence.
Commit to a statement and direct there, Sophie. Say something. Stop being all fuzzy trying to pass it off as profundity.
I haven't seen either one, but I seem to recall Natural Born Killers causing a very polarized reaction. Even among people I know some considered it pure trash and others thought it was a successful/brilliant indictment of the media's obsession with criminals.
I liked Natural Born Killers, but I would've liked to have seen it done by Quentin Tarantino. He wrote the screenplay, but didn't really have the money to make it. He had just made Reservoir Dogs (which didn't really do too well at the box office until his popularity rose) and was beginning to work on Pulp Fiction, so he didn't have the time or money. He didn't like Oliver Stone's rewriting of the screenplay or directing of the movie. Who knows what Tarantino could've done with it if he had the resources at that time.
The two worst movies for me were: Titantic--I just wanted to drown the main characters, and The English Patient---watching paint dry would be more exciting.
1. STAR wars series: never got the jedi bug sorry. and if i did, im pretty sure i WON'T be falling in line with the rest of "them". i mean it is shown in thousand of theaters, why sleep in a tent outside to fall in line??? i mean, geek much? hard as i try to watch the orig 70s film online, i NEVER ever finished it. i downloaded the phantom menace and was able to finish it coz of keira and natalie. but,,, eh.
