Just finished The Day of the Jackal.

I kept feeling let down by the endings of older movies. This had such a great buildup and then the ending was pretty so-so. Cool movie though, glad I watched it. Took me more than half of the movie before I realized that The Jackal with Bruce Willis and Richard Gere was a modernized, more American version.
 
Dark Horse

solondz's directness works with Happiness. give it a uniqueness. could be a cool thing to carry over from film to film. to some extent. for that auteur feel. though a movie needs a happening plot to carry his blunt rhetoric. the grave message in Dark Horse isn't novel or entertaining. and neither is the story it's delivered through. almost makes it preachy. todd solondz is more than a cheap version of paul thomas anderson, but sometimes he doesn't prove it.
 
Just watched The Mosquito Coast. Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and River Phoenix. It was one of those films that I enjoyed but 2 hours felt more like 3. I gave it 6/10 on imdb.

Are you male or female? If female, that's totally understandable as every Nicholas Sparks movie is scientifically engineered to cause hormone swings in women. If you're a man, I'm gonna have to ask you to turn your testicles in to the Man Police.

i saw this last night. i was very pleased by it. i liked how throw backy it was. Pander hated it for the same reason. He said it made him uncomfortable, all the like...60s chauvinism. and the mommy complex. But I enjoyed it, was a very entertaining movie. lame that there was no good bond girl like Eva Green from Casino Royal. wasn't even any bond girl really. the most beautiful woman in the whole movie was there for a whole 60 seconds, but i made sure and staid still until the credits rolled by and I could catch her name. It's Tonia Sotiropoulou and she's going in my spank bank.

i'd post a picture of her but they are all stupid heavily edited and not the pretty island lover with no make up and sex mussed hair and wrapped in a scarf from james bond. this is pretty close:

Blue Valentine. Not your typical love story, but more a story depicting the life cycle of a relationship. It goes to both emotional extremes jumping between scenes of past and present, laying down a sometimes bleak, sometimes deeply romantic but always genuine tale of two lovers and their journey, from beginning to end. Very relatable if you've been through the thrill of a relationship, birth and death; particularly marriage.

wasn't scary, was worth $1 tho.(snuck in a footlong subway melt tucked in my pants)
 
Skyfall: 8/10

I enjoyed this movie a lot. The action was awesome, the subtle winks at the audience enjoyable, decent plot and an intense climax. Daniel Craig has made a great James Bond because he can capture the attitude so well while still staying respectable to the previous Bond movies/actors. I honestly enjoyed Casino Royale more but this one sure beat the hell out of Quantum of Solace. Oh, plus I got complimentary popcorn and fountain drinks all with refills. Definitely going back to this theater, so worth $12 a ticket

I liked it for what you said plus: the old Bond Astin Martin and the general gritty & dark nature of most of the film. And additionally....

"I don't believe we have have been formally introduced."

"...My name is Eve, Eve Moneypenny." :D

No love for Bérénice Marlohe? French-Chinese-Cambodian (2 out of 3 aint bad ;))

One last thought: Ralph Fiennes as the new M, awesome!
 
finally got around to seeing "the artist". found it enjoyable, but whole self conscious silent movie bit seemed tacked on and unnecessary, although it was probably the entire point of it. ... dunno, i thought the story they developed was just fine without it. the sound thing just looks like they were trying too hard to be clever.
4/5
 
Safety Not Guaranteed

it is as bad as should be expected. worse. i at least thought i'd be somewhat attracted to the sarcastic girl's character and get a cheap, uplifted feeling. the movie is like a news article, as in it's just a bunch of cliches forced together to sell space. the indie comedy/drama version of those pg-13 horror movies that are thrown together for kids to go see at the mall. the ending is a convenient escape from having to connect the blips of plot. this movie is nothing. too empty to even be feel good.

i watched Dark Horse first because i suspected that, no matter how low my expectations, i was going to be disappointed by Safety Not Guaranteed. i tried to do the right thing and choose the possibly more distant, boring film in the hopes it could be something great. it wasn't. but anyway. they had similar themes. the progression of life and passive versus proactive.
