12. "Funny People, Precious, Where The Wild Things Are." In response to In response to 1
Funny People (Apatow, 2009): Meh. I wanted to like it. I thought Sandler did a decent enough job and there was a story there, but the girl aspect of it was just...bad. Had some good moments. Overall, not impressed. It's way too fucking long.
Precious (Daniels, 2009): GREAT acting, but the style of the film detracted me. Heartbreaking story, and MoNique should win an Oscar (she KILLED that shit), but I just thought it was a bit erratic and uneven in certain places. Good though.
Where The Wild Things Are (Jonze, 2009): I wanted to like this one too, but I didn't. Felt like half a film. A great ending, tone, and look...but it just felt hollow.
