BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well at least the viewing public wasn't blind to appreciate a terrific looking film. To me it's all about the execution. Cameron cares about his films, he wanted to blow peoples' minds and he succeeded.Yes, he blew people's mind so hard that they ended up out of it and thought the film was groundbreaking.

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well, I've seen every featurette and making of documentary on the Avatar special edition blu-ray, and let me tell you, the technology created to to make this film is nothing short of groundbreaking.And what we got on screen succeeded my wildest expectations. And half the planet's. And all that in picture-perfect 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Complete with stupid crew-cut marines as doofus heroes. You can love form over content but you can't ignore content completely and whatever achievement AVATAR is in form, the content is reactionary bullshit that certainly didn't succeed the 'wildest expectations' of anyone over 12. Or better make that: it would be sad if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A Single Man: A very impressive debut film. The film could be a companion piece for the Mad Men series. In fact, for those who pay attention or are good at recognizing voices, Don Draper is in the movie! Everything looks beautiful and perfect in A Single Man. Whether this has to do with the outlook of the main character or rather with the director (a fashion designer), I still don't have a clue. Anyway, I'm not sure why Tom Ford hasn't made another movie since then. He should because he's got the talent. 7/10Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Oh, I don't think it's that kind of movie. It's all very understated and not exacty playing the tearjerker card.

Jay 37,370 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cabin In The WoodsEh, I didn't care for it. I really admire the idea behind it, and it had some good parts and sequences... and I really admire the ending, especially the final shot. But there where too many stupid parts, namelyWhy would there be a single button that lets all the monsters out?I get it was all supposed to be satire, etc, but it just didn't come together for me, and it's nothing I'll need to see again. I actually liked Julyan's score, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 When I watched that on Netflix, I seriously regretted missing the chance to have seen it in a crowded theater with a great audience.
