Big names catch my eye (not my attention, just a "Huh? Huh..." kinda thing with commercials), as do cool effects and well-choreographed fight sequences.<br /><br />But these do not a movie make for me.<br /><br />I dunno...I'm not one for artsy movies anymore (for all that I loooooved Ink and Rubber), but I instead just seek a sense of honesty within a movie.<br /><br />I quickly grew bored with Michael Bay's "EXPLOSIOOOOOONS," CGI and questionable production choices. I also grew bored as fuck with M. Night Shamalamadingdong's one-trick pony crap as well (even though I, like everyone else, DID enjoy Signs).<br /><br />I dunno, I base my viewing more with sheer honesty rather than "tricks" like a last-minute twist or a re-occurring theme. It's sheer laziness, if you ask me.<br /><br />Storyline should matter. Narrative, choice camera angles and technique, usage of lighting...these things just don't seem to matter when it comes to BLOCKBUSTERDERP movies.<br /><br />...anyway, I haven't seen The King's Speech yet, so I can't properly agree nor disagree with ya there, m'man. BUUUUUT, when I do I'll zip my opinion of it by you first, yah?<br /><br />After all, I'll probably catch it on Netflix.Thomas Duder, Author of the Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277204557122588606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804944215284852194.post-78726445394331954852011-07-28T11:18:42.138-07:002011-07-28T11:18:42.138-07:00I agree, The Kings Speech is far from Art House..m...I agree, The Kings Speech is far from Art House..makes me think the person doesn't know the genre.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482024162990504392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804944215284852194.post-59601921222632668322011-07-28T07:52:07.473-07:002011-07-28T07:52:07.473-07:00i really enjoyed the filmi really enjoyed the filmPkbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347585796908210853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804944215284852194.post-53173610250236960322011-07-28T06:10:37.940-07:002011-07-28T06:10:37.940-07:00don't like this movie eitherdon't like this movie eitherDiego Sousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380518381783247818noreply@blogger.com
