Members JKane Posted January 19, 2012 Members Posted January 19, 2012 Still haven't seen Tinker Taylor (or Descendants), really want to (and kinda want to). A little surprised to see Drive on that list... didn't see it either but it didn't seem like the kind of movie that'd wage a political campaign to get nominations/awards... I like Bafta, used to work a bunch of people in it, liked the stuff they organized around LA, don't think I've ever watched their awards show though... Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 This was my Rotten Tomatoes Review of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy": "I think I need to see this movie a second time to figure out what was going on in the first half of the movie. The entire movie was about finding who the mole was. Frankly I didn't care by the time it was discovered. And frankly the writing didn't make you want to care either. I kind of had the same view as the guy snoring in the movie theatre behind me. Sure it was stylish in a Mad Men attempt sort of way. But it failed because you don't really care about any of the characters as the story progresses. I think this is the first time I've ever been confused more than 1/2 way through a movie. I think for the average viewer they will be lost. So I doubt that this will be big at the box office because the people who do see it will be scratching their head as they leave the theatre." Quote
Members JKane Posted January 19, 2012 Members Posted January 19, 2012 Wait, Gary Oldman in a movie one could fall asleep to??? I want to see it just for that, I don't think I've ever seem him play anything but fucking off the wall bonkers! Was a guy snoring when I saw The Artist, I could easily see how that could happen but I still found the movie very charming and endearing. It managed to give me the sense of wonder that Hugo tried so hard for and failed at. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 They call the Gary Oldman character "smiley" for a reason. He never smiles. He is the dullest character - by design - in this movie. I was bored out of my mind in this movie. They blew the direction I think. The books were very popular for spy novels. But it missed in translation. I loved "Hugo" and I didn't think I would. I think Scorcese goes over the top most of the time. But I loved Hugo and it is one of my top 3 movies of the year. My three favorite movies of 2011: The Help War Horse Hugo I'd be happy if any of those three won Best Picture. But I also haven't seen "The Descendants" yet either. I'm not a big George Clooney fan. So I'm not sure I will either. But I will say this is the first time in 20 years that I hadn't seen either of the Golden Globes Best Picture winners. (The Artist & The Descendants) Quote
Members JKane Posted January 19, 2012 Members Posted January 19, 2012 Ever since I saw somebody act out the patented George Clooney smirk, look down then back up I've always kinda seen him that way, but he's still been quite good in a couple things, both where that kinda quality is called for and occasionally managing to transcend it. And I like the idea behind Participant (production company). I'm just not that big into family dramas, but if it's supposed to be good... I dunno why Hugo missed for me, so much about it I should've liked. But it was just too precious. The 90 minutes of pussyfooting around stuff as we explore a train station in 3D... it was at times gorgeous but still, for me, meh. The Help was absolutely great though! I lived in the rural south as a child, lower middle class so didn't have direct exposure to families with 'help', but the casual, endemic racism was still very much present even in the 80s... and feeling like the only one who had any problem with it. So it had a little extra impact for me. Quote
