I loved Django much more than the Bastardos(I'm spanish) but I wished for more participation from Kerry W.'s character. Broomhilda (like many female companions on film) was there to create a plot for the male role rather than been an actual person with opinions(or feelings beyond screaming). I personally enjoyed the film(besides the absence of half of the population), especially the casting.
I liked Basterds more, even though I generally go for westerns over war movies. Yes, Broomhilda was a traditional damsel in distress, but she anchored both the story and Django. As she would appear on the trail, Django's motivation would crystallize, keeping his volatility down and his focus sharp. So although she had less to do, she was very significant.
Just saw Tin Tin. The opening credits are super similar to Catch Me if You Can and John WIlliams score is almost the EXACT SAME as Catch Me if You Can. I don't know if it was an ode for hardcore Spielberg fans or just laziness, but huge wtf moment.
It's funny, I may have made the same observation, but myself and everyone else in the theater was distracted. Why were we distracted? Because it was out of focus. Why was it out of focus? Because no one had 3D glasses. Why did no one have 3D glasses? Because no one came to see fucking Tin Tin 3D, we were there for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. The out of focus previews of The Lorax and such should have been fortelling enough for the Pacific Theatres team to stop and make the necessary adjustments beforehand but, oh yeah, this was Knoxville, not Los Angeles. The cries of outrage finally stopped the opening credits, which, upon vague recollection, does indeed resemble those of Catch Me if You Can. To cover their ass they offer everyone a free ticket, and then to cover for time lost, they jump straight into Mission Impossible. Let's be clear about this... I was 10% there for M:I, 90% there for TDKR prologue. Which I didn't get to see. And as if being fucked off my Batman joy bus wasn't enough, M:I was out of focus just to be totally annoying because they hadn't the time to recalibrate their projector for a non-3D movie. Fighting with the manager and getting nine free tickets took off a little bit of the burn, though.
Finite storytelling. Anton Corbijn assuredly masters the visual dramatization of Ian Curtis’ tragedy with simplistic neo-realism. He also assumes a documentarian role, allowing for some beautifully… read review
First Yojimbo, then Fistful of Dollars, then Last Man Standing (regrettably), and now this. Frankly, I could watch a Care Bears adaptation of this storyline and be content. Sukiyaki Western Django… read review
This sensational Peckinpah epic is seasoned with the fat and gristle that was shaved off of the director’s more respectable works. With gratuitious nudity, vioence, and some frightful day for night… read review
A film that pivots so heavily on futurism would normally age badly, souring into a spectacle of disappointment as the themes are rehashed and the visual effects become dated. Back to the Future does… read review
