I love that movie--we quote it all the time around hereI just bought this on DVD for $5!
'You is smart. You is pretty. You is kind.' That scene gets me! Oh, how I wanted to beat that woman senseless!! How a mother could treat a child like that is beyond me.The Help
Wonderful movie, but boy it makes me tear up.
Watched The Conversation and The Raven this afternoon.
Hadn't seen either before. The Conversation was really good. Coppola made some great films before his ego swelled to the size of California.
The Raven was OK. John Cusack was a pretty good Poe.
It just keeps getting weirder the further you get into the movie...lolWatched about 30 to 40 minutes of Black Swan ...
Was freaking me out so, went to sleep - one of these days I'll watch a complete movie!

I love Coppola's Dracula (minus the Reeves-dude's weak performance!)!!! I also love that they went old-school on the special efects and did things the way they did them back in film's early days. Lots of 'smaok-and-mirror' going on here. They even got to use an antique camera to film Dracula's walk thru 'modern' London!!! I saw this in the theter when it was first released and remember getting goose-bumps all over when I realized how closely they were following the book (at least the first half of it, anyway) andhow great Gary Oldman and Wynona Rider were. I also remember hearing men and woman sobbing at the end....Got to love Coppola's Dracula. Probably his last decent flick, but a doozy. Sure, the performances are hit and miss--Keanu Reeves just about ruins it with that flat, unconvincing accent, but then the always wonderful Anthony Hopkins saves the day as the greatest Van Helsing ever filmed. Gets better with age, always worth a watch.
I just couldn't get over the fact that 'Hollywood' combined two totally different movie genres. It wasn't a great movie.Cowboys and Aliens - seemed to start out good but somehow lost it. - 1 star (maybe 2 but only because I liked one or two of the characters) - seemed predictable and hokey to me. (Too bad because I like Daniel Craig).
Yup, exactly. Longer on promise and anticipation, quite short on delivery.Cowboys and Aliens - seemed to start out good but somehow lost it.
