Ramble City's dead slow these days, so here's Darunia's Excellent Movie's Thread!, wherein we discuss recent cinematic goings-on.
Movies I recently saw and would like to ecomment upon:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
A grisly, dark outing (but what Tim Burton film isn't.) There are some things, I feel, that Burton shouldn't fuck with: this is one of them. His dark, creepy creativity is well suited in films like Sleepy Hollow and Beetlejuice, but not in children's films. It had a scattering of humorous moments, but on the whole, it was a bleak, depressing, dark, and overzealously unrealistic film. The original is still one of my favorite movies. This one, however, gets a D from the Mastah Goron.
Wedding Crashers
I know... it has to be a crappy date movie. Wrong..!? I genuinely dreaded this one, and infact my friend had to pay for my ticket to get me to see it, but it was actually pretty good! Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell have excellent parts in it, and even if they didn't, it still would have been marginally good. Darunia says, A-.
See--wasn't that fun!? :) Now it's your turn.
