Wow, her eyes are so blue in that picture. So intensely blue.

Wow, why was this worth a neg?

Paprika (2006) is a masterpiece. But it took me some time to appreciate it and brand it as one. It's a concoction of "bizarre, fanciful, interesting and ingenious" all served in one cocktail. It certainly gives Nolan's Inception a run for its money.

I should be seeing Blue Jasmine sometime in the immediate future. The trailer looks great and the cast look great. This will be the first film directed by Woody Allen I see.

I saw the trailer of Gravity and it really does look like Apollo 13 on steroids. Exciting stuff.

Today I saw Concussion. Had been hearing a lot of buzz about it and wanted to see if it was more than just a 'lesbian movie'.

Saw Prisoners today. A good thriller, had me anxious in all the right places but did have a few problems that stopped it from being really great.

Thoughts! http://ohthatfilmblog.wordpress.com/2013/10/09/prisoners/

I saw your blog, it's really nice that you spent time writing these reviews :smile:

All of the films you chose were made even before I was born but I've still watched some of them

Totally agree. I loved it. Amazing film, loved every moment. Although there was a massive giveaway with the *SPOILER*

Watched Jobs. Hated it. Contrived structure, poor acting, superfluous and confused editing, ineffective dialogues, and the whole thing played out like a two-hour advert for Apple. Possibly the worst film I'll watch this year (and I watched most of The Hangover 3 earlier this year).

Man, I thought Hangover 3 wasn't bad. It was a lot better than 2, which was just a stupid copy of 1.

To confirm, is the second one the one where they go to Bangkok? (Because that's the one I watched; clearly, I was paying a lot of attention and did a substantial amount of research on it afterwards :p:

Yea Bangkok is 2. Which might have been okay had you not seen 1. But if you did it was just silly.

Watched 'Prisoners' recently and it's honestly one of the best films I've seen of it genre if not ever. But that's partly because I love detective related films (Se7en, Gone Baby Gone and Zodiac to name a few). It's very realistic in terms of how people react to certain situations (which you can't say for many movies nowadays), emotional and there's so many suspenseful and shocking scenes. The acting is excellent as well, especially Hugh Jackman and Jake GyllenhaaI. I would compare it to 'Gone Baby Gone' and people say it's a mixture between that and 'Ransom' which I've not seen.

I have not seen it yet but really want to. I wouldn't say Ransom's as good as Gone Baby Gone. Ransom is.....decent. You might want to check out Mystic River. Same genre.

Midnight in Paris

Charming little movie. I've never really watched Woody Allen movies before. Enjoyable, well written. I'd recommend it. 8/10

Posted from TSR Mobile

Yeah. I love that film. Adrian Brody was so obsessed with Rhinos in that film lol. He only came in for a bit but I loved his cameo.

Woody Allen has made so many films. He's got so much creativity. Not a big fan of his old films. His only other film that I liked was Match Point.
