MyLittlePonyTales Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Your enjoyment may depend on how high your standards are on the night that you rent it. It did poor on rotten tomatoes.Also, the ending is poor. I felt compelled to go back and watch a handful of my favorite scenes to end on a high note.Being as it is an animated feature, my standards are not unreasonably high. Would you say it did better than something like Hotel Transylvania or The Lorax? Because those were on my suck list. Though I didn't see Rise of the Guardians, I have a feeling it would make my high list, but be an ambitious comparison for something as whimsical as Hop.

It has higher highs, and lower lows. And more lows. Also, whimsy is not a defining trait of Hop. There is a bit, but the majority of the movie happens away from Easter Island, and focuses on the goals and relationships of the two main characters.

SonicRainboomGirl Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I just watched Se7en for the 2nd time in my life. Luckily I had a hand to hold this time and I only cried a little bit! It's so scary and grotesque, but it's so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesh Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Looper. What a time traveling science fiction movie should have.I can't stand time travel, because it always has holes. I'll make an exception for the stellar stories. but everything else gets judged harshly. The part that most irritated me about the concept for looper is that it makes no sense for the LAST kill to be yourself. The way it SHOULD work is that they send you yourself first, and if you pass the test, you get to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's most likely proposing that time travel can still be done by simply creating other "dimensions" or time lines.At least you don't see overuse of time travel. That happens too much on other science fiction movies, and make things have less sense in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilWells Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Rewatched Kill Bill, a magnificent film, more than just pointless violence and cathartic revenge. I'm not sure how many times I've seen it (a great number of times I'm sure), but I keep picking out new things every time I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehBbqdPizza Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Awesome film, probably one of the best Civil War films I've ever watched along with Gettysburg.Not as good, to be honest, even with Tom Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilWells Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Goodfellas (1990 dir. Martin Scorsese) re-watched it for the hundredth time. Still one of my favorite films of all time. Scorsese is an auteur of the highest caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilWells Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Double Indemnity (1944 dir. Billy Wilder) an amazing crime film that has basically set the standard for all film noirs.Memories of Murder (2003 dir. Joon-ho Bong) a very suspenseful Korean crime film that showcases why Korea seems to be having a sort of film renaissance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
