And there you have it folks. I want to thank everyone for voting, especially for Bernardo from The Movie Rat for the nomination of North Sea Texas that it could dominate the awards. Until next year...
Matthew was great in Killer Joe. He managed to deliver a nuanced performance that exhibited charisma and a creepiness at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love DiCaprio and think he did great in Django, but I think Christoph did a better job than him.
I think Cabin in the Woods was grossly overrated. It was a fun and amusing movie for the most part and I'd give it like a 2.5/4, but people make it out like it was the best thing for that genre since Scream. I feel Tucker and Dale did infinitely better in what Cabin was trying to do.
Seemed Cabin was too concerned with making a few jokes then setting up the twist to really flesh out the rest. Even after the initial "surpise" of the twist, it became cliche in itself. Found it to be rather sloppily done in many parts too as once again they were going for the meta jokes rather than providing truly good substance.
People are talking about Mud this year. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI loved Leo. I didn't think that Christoph should have won the Oscar.
Cabin in the Woods was okay. I know that Whedon and co. wanted to poke fun at horror movie tropes, but it was uninteresting for me.
