Posted by: thirty second garys over tokyo (a.k.a 80181597) on Oct 22, 09:48 in response to night of the living islander's post Moviegoing Activity? (me - Looper: C+)

Reasons?  Like "Moneyball," a triumph over a tricky topic.  Captivating performances from its leads, Eisenberg, Garfield, Hammer and Timberlake.  A haunting soundtrack.  All of the routine pleasures of a Fincher film (pacing, shape, mise-en-scene, purpose).

Surprised a bit that "Looper" left you (and Maltin) cold.  I enjoyed the plot, and the look, and the reversals, and all the bitter satire about a future gun-lousy America.

what does a musical without songs look like? {nm} forlorne Oct 22, 08:12

Lots of scenes in Wright's Anna Karenina are choreographed as if they were dance scenes... (some spoilers ahead) GalacticPothealer Oct 22, 08:50

thank you, it clarifies what, but not why :-) {nm} forlorne Oct 22, 09:09

I'm still wondering about the why as well :-) I'll chalk it up to Joe Wright's exaggerated directorial style and mannerisms. {nm} GalacticPothealer Oct 22, 09:58

Groundhog Day (A-). Really smart comedy and it's got a lot of heart. Bill Murray is just great in this. Glad I got around to watching it. {nm} JordenS Oct 22, 12:13
