Letterboxd — Your life in film

Grotesque, crude and laughably offensive, I hate myself a little more every time I watch this movie. But I still watch it. And enjoy it.

Much like the title, I am 50/50 on whether or not I liked this film. On one hand Joseph Gordon-Levitt shows tremendous potential in his acting abilities and there is no doubt that I appreciate the personal struggle his character portrayed. On the other hand, there were times when I felt somewhat apathetic to the events unfolding in the story. I didn't quite have the emotional connection I think the director had intended, whether by my own fault or at the overall development of the story. I'll have to think about this for a bit and come back to this one.

Tarantino never ceases to impress. Django Unchained was by far one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Superb acting, classic Tarantino writing, and darkly humorous, I'll definitely be watching this one again.

Silver Linings Playbook was an excellently acted, heartwarming film that appeals to everyone looking for the silver linings in their lives. I loved the positive message this film portrayed while also dealing with some very troubling, uncomfortable issues.

Despite the outlandish plot, subpar CGI and absolute ridiculous action sequences that ensue throughout, I guiltfully kind of liked this movie, if for nothing other than its absolute ridiculousness. I shamefully admit I would watch this again.

Solid addition to the X-Men franchise. Can't wait to see what Bryan Singer has cooked up for Days of Future Past.

Not your standard espionage film, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is constructed upon dialog and building atmospheric tension rather than explosions and cheap stunts. I would definitely describe it as a thinking man's spy thriller, as it absolutely captures the bleakness and paranoia of the Cold War as well as all of the double lives and double crossings we've come to love about spy films.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how entertaining this film was. I mean, yeah, the baby and dog-punching was a bit crude but I thought both Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis stayed true to their comedic personas. Overall I thought it was a decent satire of the American political system albeit the ending was a bit cheesy and predictable.

Was this movie really necessary? Recycled plot and recycled jokes only this time half as funny.

Sometimes you just can't help but watch a train wreck in progress.

Attempts to be heart-warming and sympathetic, but instead is mind-numbingly stupid and pointless.

I've yet to really form a solid opinion on this film, but what I've determined so far is this. Visually stunning, the special effects were impressive as were the sweeping landscape shots. The acting and story was less than desirable, though Michael Fassbender's performance as the android David was captivating. There was enough suspense and gore to be worthy of an Alien prequel, although I don't know if Prometheus is worthy of a second watch.
