Thread Name: BS: Best Movie of the Year
Subject: RE: BS: Best Movie of the Year
It is really rare that I walk out on a film---but The Aviator, with its 3 hr interminable length, was getting so boring and the charactarization of Hepburn I thought so awful I left. Thought my life was going to be spent in that theater.
Sideways had its moments but is just another "buddy" movie as far as I can see. The wine tasting and discussions were a bit much for a vodka drinker. Yet the critics loved it---so go figure.
Vera Drake, as I said, that film to me is just awesome---great plot, phenominal acting, and making a point. You can't want more than that.
