I've never seen a movie like this one. They way it was shot, the way the story twists and turns, etc. If you can get passed the 150+ "f-bombs" (think Good Fellas on steroids) and 50+ bodies being completely blown up and vaporized then see this movie. The very end (last 30 minutes) are exceptional. Reminded me of the best parts of Iron Man (you'll understand what I mean). Really cool movie with obvious connections to the real world (South Africa).]]> Movie Reviews Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:04:12 GMT http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/district-9-t229.htm#804 http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/district-9-t229.htm http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/the-soloist-t222.htm Admin

The book was better than the movie (as is usually the case). Watched it with 3-D glasses which made some parts visually stunning. Overall the things that were added as "fluff" in the story detracted from the story's "moral". The "message" of the movie actually saves the movie... and that's thanks to Gaiman and not the person who made the movie.]]> Movie Reviews Thu, 06 Aug 2009 02:54:06 GMT http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/coraline-t214.htm#754 http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/coraline-t214.htm http://mudpies.forumotion.com/movie-reviews-f17/kung-fu-panda-t203.htm Admin

Guillermo del Toro scores again with a myriad of creepy creatures in this one. The lead Prince Elf reminded me a lot of Drizzt from the Salvatore books.

Worth seeing for the acting performances. Cate Blanchet does an absolutely phenomenal job as Bob Dylan, and is definitely an Oscar Nomination worthy performance. The other performances from Ben Whishaw, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Richard Gere are great as well. Aside from the great acting, the cinematography is the next best thing about this film. Beautiful look to the film. The story is rather scattered and slow at some points. Grade: B+ Only for the acting.
