338158, What art house movie should jonz see this weekend?
Posted by jonz mahone, Wed Dec-19-07 10:11 PM
The Diving Bell and Beauty
The Savages
Margot at the Wedding
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
I'm Not There
338159, I pretty much hated The Savages
Posted by SoulHonky, Wed Dec-19-07 10:16 PM
I would recommend anything but that. Very boring and the "funny" moments were just kind of off for me. It was trying for the Little Miss Sunshine feel of something tragic happens but then a funny moment springs out of it but all of the funny moments in this film were still tragic IMO. The irony is that while the film sort of made fun of self-absorbed people, you had to be self-absorbed to find the moments funny.

This is also a film that highlights the difference between critics and the general public IMO.
338222, Thank you.

338204, Don't. Trust me.
Posted by quakka1, Thu Dec-20-07 06:57 AM
Especially if you are a Daft Punk fan. I think I like them a little less after watching that horrible film.
338221, Okay. Thank you. What about the others on the list above?

It has a sad ending, yet, it does make you feel good about what you do to & for another person's life.

(and um dudes wife is kinda hot)

372843, I liked it
Posted by THRILLHOUSE, Mon May-19-08 10:30 PM
probably not something I would watch again, but the acting was really solid.
372873, Yes.
Posted by jonz mahone, Tue May-20-08 08:41 AM

One thing jonz could not understand, could've been a cultural thing, was Zainab's dislike of Walter in the early stages of their knowing each other.

Posted by THRILLHOUSE, Tue May-20-08 05:10 PM
and some of the reviews slam the hell out of it. So it seems like you should pass on this one unless you want to see if it is as bad as the critics make it out to be.

jonz is going to possibly check out 'Synecdoche, New York' or 'Frost/Nixon' this coming weekend.

It doesn't feel like there are many good choices of arthouse movies this Oscar-season.
