Movies

So; I saw both flicks this afternoon/evening at the Irvine Spectrum.

I really liked Ides of March. The cast really did a nice job overall. I was surprised at how dark it was. 

Walked in late to RS. I don't know why I did. Damn lame effects. I couldn't believe the ending. Are they kidding? 

But, I've seen worse movies this year. I'd give this a solid C. The director had the imagination of Betty Draper. Maybe this would've been close to good with a better director. Then again, maybe not. The story was so by the numbers, maybe it couldn't have been turned into anything very good.

 

Ides of March is 82% Fresh. Real Steel is 57% Rotten. Crap wins again. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 08, 10:02

And will always win. It is the American Way. {nm} Latinman4747 Oct 08, 10:14

It isn't unique to America; the No. 1 films around the world each week, as well as the top international films ever, are not that different xiayun Oct 08, 16:27

How much did you actually think "Ides" would make? Its a political drama which will always are always, nominations > box office {nm} dioneta Oct 08, 10:50

pardon my grammar :) {nm} dioneta Oct 08, 10:51

I'm sorry but that's bull****...57% on RT is just 3% away from having a Fresh rating and that's a perfectly respectable percentage {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 08, 11:05

Not really. I read through the reviews. There was not one single gushing, raving review. Not one critic LOVED the movie. goodvibe61 Oct 08, 12:51

Seriously, the payout from Disney/DreamWorks must be pretty good these days P:) {nm} HarryWarden Oct 08, 13:12

Wow .. that's uncalled for ! Everyone is entitled to express their views. {nm} grammar Oct 08, 13:19

It was a joke or did you not notice the wink/tongue type {nm} HarryWarden Oct 08, 13:20

Nope .. I see a *P:) * and didn't have a clue what that was supposed to mean. {nm} grammar Oct 08, 13:22

It was not perfect grammar. {nm} damenchipguy Oct 08, 20:05

Hard to decipher sarcasm in print when the sentence begins with "seriously". So, are you serious or not? :()---/ {nm} Rocket Oct 09, 13:07

At 2200 theaters to 3400, where's the surprise? [RSTEL] is meant to make its $ up front ... jjmarino Oct 08, 12:16

Yes! I had 3-1 on Crap this week! Cha-Ching! wroberson Oct 08, 13:26

Movies are entertainment. Larger potential audience/broader appeal/more advertising=more $. {nm} forlorne Oct 08, 13:36

So the last eight weeks mean nothing to you? This is the first rotten #1 since Cowboys & Aliens {nm} tribefan695 Oct 08, 14:21

i only read the wikipedia entry on real steel, and even that was the worst thing i've ever read! i cant imagine going out to see it. {nm} David_Francis Oct 08, 20:56

Wikipedia is not a peer reviewed or credible source. Read more expert opinions... {nm} Rocket Oct 09, 13:05
