Annie Hall is probably one of my favorite movies but I had a few problems with Manhattan. First of all, I despised the relationship between Allen and Hemingway. I pretty much just didn't like Hemingway's character at all. I thought Allen and Keaton should have stayed together, it was much more believable. So I guess you could say what ruined it for me was like the last half hour. He shouldn't have went back to the little girl.
I didn't hate it. It was still funny and some scenes were really beautiful to watch but it just didn't do too much for me. |

I'm not a fan of shake cinematography either but I wouldn't say that keeps it from being a great film, don't get me wrong I haven't seen it yet, but I do have high hopes for it, not so much for the hype as just the fact that I find Danny Boyle (The Beach aside) to be a very talented director.
Indeed one of my favorite animated films. |

Usual Suspects - ***
Entertaining film noir, I don't think it's the masterpiece many say it is, if only because that twist ending, as awesome as it is, does kinda make you feel cheated, but I guess that was the point. Kevin Spacey is awesome, his performance may be considered hammy by some, but I kind of see it as a homage to old actors in the film noir genre like Cagney and Mitchum. Not a whole lot going on in the character development department, but it's such a compelling story and entertaining film that it's easy not to really care. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - *** Leonard Nimoy. Can be described with many words. Vulcan, Starfleet Lieutenant, Filmmaker, Poet, Musician, Photographer... Comedian? Star Trek makes an unusual turn towards comedy and actually it's one of the best films in the series. |

I made some friends/morons watch it a while ago and they moaned about the pace (it IS 40+ years old) but Peter Sellers is utterly priceless. i love this cold war sh*t, it's always gonna be relevant. lav it Great vocab in this scene- 'pranging', 'preversions'... |
