Mini-Review: They should just have used all of these hilarious sequences to make a new season. They don't work that well on the screen and the movie as a whole is really just a bunch of sketches thrown together in a paper thin plot. It's good fun but that's it.
Mini-Review: The beginning of a legend. Described perfectly through lesser known actors and undistracting music (only music from that era of his life); it focuses only on the man who would later be called the greatest songwriter of all time.
Mini-Review: Yes, I did see it, I'm not just a lamer who talks shit about movies I haven't seen. But this is just not a good movie. It has a sort of interesting plot though: A battle between clans of vampires. A lot of ways could have been gone with this plot, but only a few ways were gone, all of them idiotic and meaninglessly teenager appealing. I liked 'Remember Me' so I know that Pattinson has acting skills, but he didn't display any of them in this movie, neither did the rest of the cast. Pointless.
Mini-Review: Already by the 30th minute I was praying to God that this piece of crap would end soon. But no, it went on for 2 and a half more hours of despicable acting and pointless propaganda.
Mini-Review: My new favourite movie.
Mini-Review: 'Psycho' is a great movie, even by today's standards, but I cannot help but think how much more the movie would have appealed to me had merely ONE scene been omitted! It is still an extremely well-made (duuuh, it's Hitchcock, what else would one expect?) thriller, but the omission of that ONE scene would have made this movie my favourite of all time.
Mini-Review: There are many laugh out loud moments in this movie, especially and almost exclusively involving Malkovich's character. All in all it's been seen before, but I still enjoyed it.
Mini-Review: Surely an emotional movie, but also TOO emotional. I don't mean to be rude, but every damn scene doesn't have to have someone sobbing or saying something heroic. To use those means is a display of weakness in the writing and directing. Much of the dialogue is obviously exaggerated; it becomes too American. And I don't hate America, but I hate this useless blood-sucking movie.
Mini-Review: I agree that the 'mirror' scene is legendary and rightfully so, but the rest was just straight out not funny. Not by today's standards anyway, and I am having a hard time imagining it being funny by 1933's standards. But I guess anything is possible. It has a lot of positive comments and ratings here on Criticker, a spot on IMDb's Top 250 list, and it's praised by a lot of respectable critics that I generally agree with. I just don't see what all the fuzz is about.
