What's interesting...

Posted by: swmckewon on Apr 15, 13:10 in response to Antibody's post Ebert's one-star review of KCKAS sums up exactly what I...

is that Death At A Funeral is a nasty piece of business in its own right, and Ebert admits as much, and loved it. Neil LaBute's never made what I'd call a "life affirming" film, and this trades in as much rottenness as most of his films - only he pushes the envelope a little further under the guise of "it's a remake."

Ebert's one-star review of KCKAS sums up exactly what I thought of the film as well. Antibody Apr 15, 12:20

hmmmm? i see similarities in this AICN critics review....though they are completely opposite on their love for the film. lobogotti Apr 15, 12:29

ha! do a Google search on morally reprehensible and see what comes up as the 2nd and 3rd links. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 12:41

I'm pretty sure the AICN non-review is a response to Ebert. The guy's review was "find my initial thoughts here." {nm} Antibody Apr 15, 13:02

yeah...looks like it after i read it again. they went up the same day so they are on it. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 13:05

It's that the film revels, like a pig in slop swmckewon Apr 15, 13:07

Unlike Fight Club, South Park or other films being compared to, there's no "lessons learned" at the end. {nm} Antibody Apr 15, 13:25

Looks like you either love it or hate it. This is what the collider saids: idrom Apr 15, 13:12

you don't know who Roger Ebert is? Siskel & Ebert....ever heard of them? lobogotti Apr 15, 13:14

Roger Ebert is pretty much unknown outside the US {nm} RogerMore Apr 15, 13:21

(and Canada) {nm} RogerMore Apr 15, 13:21

wow....I would just assume they were known worldwide, but i guess they were popular before the internet. {nm} lobogotti Apr 15, 13:29

I generally found him annoying and condenscending. {nm} tradermark Apr 15, 14:36

blablabla from an old man... {nm} Skauge Apr 15, 13:54

I tweeted this @ him.. he doesn't respond to normal people but I wonder if it will give him pause. MiyazakiFan Apr 15, 18:49

It's not the age... (spoiler) Antibody Apr 15, 19:32

Did you forget how Hard Candy ended? (SPOILERS) MiyazakiFan Apr 15, 19:45

Which is followed by a scene Antibody Apr 15, 19:47

Sorry, I disagree. Most would I'm sure MiyazakiFan Apr 15, 19:58

I disagree with your statement Antibody Apr 15, 20:06

the movie walks a thin line for sure. kensanity Apr 15, 22:55
