We watched Sucker Punch, recently. It had some pretty fantastic imagery and effects, great up skirt panty flashes , and an interesting story. It's just that there was no character development, and the story could have been developed to match the effects.

I saw Sucker Punch during its theatrical run
just to watch hot ladies kick some ass!

Horrible Bosses was hilarious!

Bateman, Day, and Sudekis had a lot of chemistry
in their scenes. These three should team up again for a sequel.

Spacey, Aniston and Farrell were
beyond perfect as a-hole bosses.

The Secret in Their Eyes, a film from Argentina.

I saw that when it came out. It was pretty..................dreadful.


I watched A Separation. f**k yes.

I remember when I first read about SuckerPunch on the Internet. I thought, "Wow, women using their imaginations to overcome life obstacles? That sounds like the perfect story for me!"

And then the trailer came out. I was so disappointed. Whereas I had expected a dark Burtonesque fantasy world about the empowerment of its female characters (in other words, something along the lines of the recent Alice in Wonderland), what I got instead was women running around in skimpy outfits blowing stuff up. I'm not necessarily a feminist, but it actually looked degrading to women, like the people who made the movie just sat around thinking "How can we cram everything guys like into one movie? I know! Let's show a ton of cleavage and explosions!"

But - and this is a huge "but" - I gleaned all of this just from a trailer. I haven't actually seen the movie yet. When it comes to entertainment, I am a very open-minded person. I am willing to watch any movie once. Right now there are other movies on my "Must Watch" list that are of higher priority to me (including Raiders of the Lost Ark and Goldeneye), but I have decided that I am willing to give SuckerPunch a shot.

After all, nothing makes me happier than when I have low expectations for a movie and get pleasantly surprised by how much I wind up loving it.

Isn't that that TERRIBLE remake of L'Appartement? If so, I sort of regret using in my last comment because Wicker Park is the absolute epitome of .

People these days, seriously, WT f*****g F?!?!?!?!?!?

A Separation. f**k yes.





I've taken over this thread...I'll shut up now.

I don't get it. What did I say that has you all riled up?

You're a woman, yeah? And you feel obliged to say that you aren't really a Feminist, like it's some far-out and outrageous thing. Like it's wrong.

A feminist is defined as a person who believes that women should have equal political, economic, and social rights with men. The definition gets distorted pretty regularly.

yeah i often here 'feminist' used in a negative way, like it's something you should be ashamed to be. 'feminazi'

anyway....

tonight i'm gonna watch Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

Last night, we watched Feeling Minnesota on IFC. I had seen it years ago, and it was always a favorite. My wife thought she wouldn't like it, but she was pleasantly surprised by it.
