Excellent

What a wonderful evening of story telling. I don't know if any of it is true, I don't really care. This movie was delightfully written with engaging dialogue and appropriate technical babble. I wanted it to keep going and then it just sort of ended. There wasn't really an arc to the movie more like a steady climbing hill with a note at the top that says "The End" I wanted to find out what happened to these characters next. (More than just a paragraph in the subtitles before the credits.) I wanted them to make up where they would be 20 years from now. I would have stuck around to watch more, and I would have had an enjoyable time doing so. Interesting characters which were well performed by all actors. I highly recommend this move.

Green Book

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.

Seven Pounds

1/2/2009 The Grand Theater Good Why was it called 7 pounds. This movie could have been excellent. It had great acting. The storytelling was the problem. It's annoying because you don't find out the whole story until the very end. That's ok if what we find at the end is something amazing, or shocking. Something like "Seven" "Fight Club" "Sixth Sense" They had shocking ending which made not knowing what's going on worth it. 7 pounds wasn't worth it. It was about redemption, however the main character didn't need redemption, he himself suffered great loss, and those he helped were random and unconnected to those he hurt, accidentally. If they were somehow connected, then maybe it would have been better. If maybe there were no clues given it wouldhave worked better. The clues were given throughout the film, and you can piece it together yourself. The problem is you're not surprised by the ending you've been waiting for, yo...

2/16/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent Where is the press on this one? What a great movie. Very sensual, if you're uncomfortable with naked people, this one isn't for you. There's a lot of naked. There was so much involved in WWII it's amazing how many stories can come from it on all sides. Great acting, go see it!
