Back to the Future: B+; A Perfect Getaway: B- (here's a movie that's really ruined if you know the twist, which I already did)

I really I wish I would have seen it knowing nothing.

Inglorious Bastards, B+ -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 5, 09:46 4

    - Would you all agree that it was paced kind of like a western? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 10:04

  - the audience itself is going through dark times... - Mel Profit Jul 5, 09:51 4
    - This was always the explanation (fair or not) for Home Alone's success. - David Jul 5, 09:54 3
      - Home Alone is a pretty dark movie ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 09:55 2
        
        Because that's the movie that put Mccauley on Michael Jackson's radar? -- nm - Redmond Jul 5, 09:59 1
        
        No, because it was mostly filmed at night. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 10:01
  - but it wasn't fun, it was creepy. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 09:47
- I would grade it higher than a D (of course), but it was definitely not what I had looked forward to. - Beryllium Jul 5, 09:43 2

    - It reminded me of the "sequel" to The Wizard of Oz ... an overtone of creepiness around the whole thing. - Beryllium Jul 5, 09:45
Green Zone: A (brave film), Percy Jackson: B, Tron: C+ (has not held up well), Knight & Day: A. The Crazies: A-. - David Jul 5, 09:37 23
- Not to pick a fight, but I've seen it too and wonder...What do you think makes Green Zone brave? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 09:40 22
  - It's a slap in the face to any number of important people and a movie few Americans want to see due to what it embodies. - David Jul 5, 09:42 20

    - I can maybe see the budget argument, but honestly, there's nothing to the politics that particularly "edgy". - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 09:45 12
      - You know what movie goers love? "You were wrong and you were lied to by the people you voted for. Pay me $10 and I'll show you how." (nm) - David Jul 5, 09:47 11
        
        You don't think a lot of Americans want to see a movie that basically re-enforces their belief that they were right about Iraq all along? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 09:51 10
        
        No and the box office performance for a de facto Bourne film backs me up on this. - David Jul 5, 09:55 6
        
        What was the final BO for it? I don't recall. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 10:02 5

        It made $35 million domestic, which is barely half of what the last Bourne film opened to doing. - David Jul 5, 10:05 2
        
        One last note before the roll...I always felt that trying to compare them to the Bourne's was ridiculous. Had he been named Bourne, it would have... - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 10:13 1

        Yeah, I guess I can't really argue that, though this was far more sold on the action than politics, whereas the others were the opposite. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 5, 09:56 1
        
        I think David's point is not that it's controversial, but it's on a topic that many, if not most, people would rather forget ever happened. -- nm - Roger More Jul 5, 09:59
  - Spending $100 million on an Iraq film is pretty brave -- nm - Roger More Jul 5, 09:40
She turns out to be a 30 year old Estonian woman. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 09:04 1
- I *know*. Soon, they're going to go to the well once too often with this. - prayformojo Jul 5, 09:06
