LSUoverUSC Review Sheet for Movies in Theaters

[TexasMan]

Blue Valentine was depressing and I didn't like it, which sucks because I like both the leads.

The King's Speech was great. Good story/acting, very intriguing and enjoyable.

[TexasMan]

I want The King's Speech to win, but I'm gonna guess that The Social Network will take the Oscar, which is a shame because that movie is getting way overrated now.

 

[iruletheskool]

haven't seen King's Speech yet, need to before I make that decision.

 

[TexasMan]

I've seen all but The Kids Are Alright, Winter's Bone, and The Fighter, but I'll probably see that one sometime this week.

 

[iruletheskool]

The Fighter will not change your mind on best picture..

Bale's acting was pretty good though..

Saw three more movies this past week: True Grit for the second time, No Strings Attached, and the Green Hornet.

The Green Hornet: with the proliferation of comic book movies these days, you'd think the producers would have a standard pattern of success to follow. The Green Hornet moves away from any standard and tries to make a cutesy, Hangoverish comedy comic. It fails miserably. The lead of the show, Rogen, isn't remotely funny and his presence makes the movie fail from the very beginning. Why is this man a movie star? He's horrible. The co-star is low English speaker who is supposed to be made in the image of Bruce Lee. An hour into this goofy movie I was ready to leave, but I was tortured for another full hour. The only remotely interesting thing about this movie was the use of car weapons. Cameron Diaz is past her sell by date. 3/10.

No Strings Attached: Why does it seem like every movie set today has a flashback to either the late 80s or early 90s? NSA starts with a bad premise and the movie is intent to show how wrong that premise is. The problem is along the way, the movie doesn't completely reject the premise or other vices which make the premise possible. There is a moving scene at the end, as you might expect, but with the impurity scattered throughout the movie, it's hard to feel like the characters have really undergone catharsis and been redeemed. Nonetheless, there are humorous parts, but if you've seen the trailer, you've seen most of the movie. Portman is a good actress, but she's not that attractive. 6/10

True Grit 2nd viewing: The movie gets better the second time you watch it. Bridges character is fantastic and I caught things I missed the first time as a result of his under the breath way of speaking. Still, Matt Damon is out of place, but the rest of the movie holds up very well.
