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.

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

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
probably not something jonz would watch again
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.

372959, only has a 21% on rotten tomatoes 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.

417972, Did not see it. It stopped playing in the area. Posted by jonz mahone, Tue Dec-02-08 04:53 PM
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.
