If you're here to simply get confirmation to see this film, then you have my blessing. 21 and Over is harmless fun, fast food for the soul, what it lacks in depth and brain it easily makes up in simple joy and entertainment. If you want to get a slightly more detailed review, please read on.
I'm sitting here trying to think of the appropriate words to describe Sarah Polley's "Take This Waltz" and there are four things that keep popping into my head: annoying, boring, trying way too hard and overall incredibly duuuuullllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
You might have heard it but Disney just bought LucasFilm and now there is some talk going on about a new Star Wars sequel. Luckily, I didn't miss that, it's not like the entire Internet doesn't shut up about it...
Tarantino. Foxx. Waltz. DiCaprio. That's probably all you need to know. Now watch this trailer for "Django Unchained" and shed a tear that it'll be another 2 1/2 months before it'll be released.
Alright, so after starting this blog more than a year ago I decided to make a couple changes. First, the big one: From now on I won't review every movie I see. Don't worry, there'll still be times when I post reviews but I figured that I just couldn't keep up with my own demand and creative output. I mean, I love watching films but I realized that I got really picky with what I watched, always with the looming thought that I'd have to write about it afterwards. In short, I didn't want it to become a silly ongoing school assignment.
Picture the following scene: In early 2008 I walked into a small theater in my hometown Rostock, going to see the new movie by Paul Thomas Anderson, director of such great films as "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia". When I walked out about three hours later I was a changed person. "There Will Be Blood", the film I saw on that fateful night pretty much blew me away in a way no other movie has done it to me before or ever since. In my humble opinion "There Will Be Blood" might just be the best movie of the last decade. Just watch the following video and see how devoted fans of this masterpiece can be:
