Anybody watch Everest? Thoughts?

I heard it was pretty good, going to wait for the blu ray release. There is a mountain climbing documentary out called Meru I don't know if anyone seen it but it's got a 92% score on rotten tomatoes, look forward to seeing that one as well.

I might try Everest soon, might as well throw Meru in there too.
 
Saw Burnt last night... beautifully shot... very good performance by Cooper.... if you're into food, you'd really like it I think.


The movie showed great promise at the beginning, is well balanced, but ultimately it could have gone a bit further... 1 more step closer to the ledge would have made this a slam dunk.


I'd still give it a solid 8/10 though.

Bridge of spies was really well done. They went a bit overboard with some of the "We are so lucky we live in America" stuff. It was just kinda in your face. But other than that the acting was really well done, and the story followed the actual events really well. If you don't know the story, its really good and well told.

What the **** does that even mean? Are all your "reviews" just full of bland generalities and nothing more?

????

1) Didn't know you've been following all my "reviews" ?

2) How am I supposed to impress an English teacher such as yourself?!?

3) I thought that part about 'stepping closer to the ledge' was kind of a nice touch.

4) Apologies for not including the level of 'tautness' in my review.

brough, are you srs?? I liked Forrest Gump and Big, but the roles where he plays the TRUE EVERYDAY GUY are absolutely obnoxious. This new film of his looks like it might be his worst. The one thing I can't handle in combination with Tom Hanks is patriotism.

This is one of those cases of to each their own i guess but just off the top of my head, i thought he was fantastic in The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, and Captain Phillips.


edit: After looking up his career i would also say he was great in Splash, Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Dragnet, Turner and Hooch, A League Of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia (won an oscar for that one, along with forest gump), Apollo 13, Catch me if You Can, The Terminal, and The Da Vinci Code. Plus the toy story movies (though i dont take cartoons into consideration)

Im a huge tom hanks fan.
 
Saw "The Gift" last night.

Would it be weird for Boler/Boone/Harpring to yell 'Gordo with the gift" when Hayward gets an assist?

Weird and fantastic
 
I searched the thread and I don't think I posted before about it but if I did, my apologies.

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2igjYFojUo

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm late to seeing this. I'm glad I did. What a fantastic movie. Pun intended.

At this point, I think there are varying degrees of likability among Mr. Anderson's films but there's not one that I dislike. Good solid story with very funny characters and the voices were just perfect. I think I could listen to George Clooney talk all day.

It's probably a good kid movie too.

92% on RT.

I thought one of youz had recommended this movie but maybe I'm mistaken. I don't see it mentioned.

Anyway, I also got to see:

Headhunters (2011)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5am704I0zkM

It was an entertaining movie, I'll give it that, but many of the scenes are so absurd and, frankly, unbelievable that the movie irked me. I think many times these types of complaints have more to do with me than the movie itself. It's kind of like In Bruges and the complaints I had with that movie. I found myself thinking, "I'm so ****ing sure." many times.

Like most Swedish movies, it's shot well, the acting is solid and the sound is good. You might like it.

92% on RT seems way too high in my opinion. I would have given it 60% or so.
