Last of the Mohicans

Last King of Scotland

Bridget Jones' Diary

The Right Stuff

March of the Penguins

Over the Hedge

Nightcrawler is the end-all be-all of film.

Unfortunately I've already learned that DA's opinion on movies is worthless to me. I need someone else to say that it's just ok, or that it's not that great, because otherwise it's been so hyped up that it may make me enjoy it less by comparison.

Well I'll say it's really good, but I'm not as overwhelmed by it as Sikax.

I thought it was good. Not even close to what I was expecting.

And you just NOW have Last of the Mohicans? Shame on you. [none]

Nightcrawler was quite good. I would have liked to see a bit more from the ending; the police investigation and such. Definitely agree that Jake should have been nominated for, if not won, best actor.

What could the police do? Jake's character had a perfectly rational explanation for everything, and didn't even remotely crack when interrogated. He gave them no probable cause for a search warrant, and it's not like he was black or anything. There wouldn't be much of an investigation.

It's a performance movie. You see that movie just to see Jake's performance which was brilliant. The rest of the movie was ok.

Fiiineee... I guess when he enters to that house while the murders have just happened is intense.

The music wasn't that good. I remember there was a part where I thought I was watching Forrest Gump. [none]

Just stick to your frilly dresses and lust for revolution. Leave the cinema to us. [none]

I mean, quite actually your recent thread topics have included dresses and revolution, and by "us" I meant me and DA (though he's usually wrong, just not on Nightcrawler). So by "us" I meant me.

Where are your recent threads?? OH RIGHT! NOWHERE!!

So why don't you make yourself useful and do that city quiz you used to do, might spark some interest. [none]

I still post in my "Flicks I Seen" thread. Sometimes.

And, um, no one ever participated in those threads except for ampi. And when I did the NFL stadium one everyone quit after like ten. Too much work for very little participation.

The music was meant as a reflection of the protagonists's mental state, not a way to set atmosphere. Therefore, with that purpose, it was also very good.

Also, I have never been wrong on this board when it comes to movies so far.

Forrest Gump had a great soundtrack anyway.

Maybe you would view it more positively if I told you its theme was virulently anti-capitalist.

A lot of people get caught up in the amazing performances and literal story-telling (which are obviously incredible) and have missed the undertones of theme that most movies prioritize and therefore are always on the forefront of what the audience takes away (every Oscar-winning movie ever). And that's what I liked about Nightcrawler; the themes are understated but there if you're paying attention.

I think I gave the movie 7 or 8 out of 10. It's here in this board somewhere. So maybe you guys should stop fanboying on it. All I said was that Jake's performance was what's special about the movie. Don't get worked up on me for using the word "ok" on the rest of it, I might as well could have used "good" of whatever word I felt like saying. It's not a big deal.

I don't think anyone got worked up, and you can say whatever you want about Nightcrawler as far as I'm concerned. DA's crazy about a bunch of movies I think are shit. Sikax thinks Rango was amazing and I think it sucked. No biggie.
