Topic: General Movie Discussions / Favorite Movies

MetalJunky5000 pinged me, asking about my favorite movies. For a movie junky like me, that’s a hard question to answer ‘cause there are so many. So I’m gonna name a few Perfect movies from several genres. (To jog my memory, I went to my profile page, selected a genre and sorted by Summary quality.)

  • Action: Iron Man, Dark Knight, Casino Royale (I only gave this last 4.5 beams, but regularly think I should bump it up to a full 5.)
  • Comedies: Forgetting Sarah Marshall & Lars and the Real Girl
  • Dramas: Casablanca, The Kite Runner, Slumdog Millionaire and Gran Torino
  • Thrillers: Rear Window, The 39 Steps, Sea of Love
  • War: Das Boot & Inglorious Basterds
  • Westerns: Unforgiven

OK MJ5K, over to you…

Topic: Movies / King Kong

Dude, King Kong is an Adventure movie. And how can it be the best horror movie since the Shining, it came out before the Shining.

As awesome as Depp is, I still hate his Willy Wonka. It wasn’t Depp’s fault, it was just the way the character was written. I just thought it was wierd how he sent out the golden tickets and yet when the kids get there, he seems completely uninterested.

Hmm, I hadn’t noticed that Burton and Depp and Bonham Carter were getting the band back together to do Alice in Wonderland. What a fusion of genius, as always with these three. I remember thinking the same after seeing the first trailer for Sweeney Todd. Just revisited my review and was reminded that the movie fully met that expectation. I’m confident AiW will do the same.

Thnx, Wick. Indeed, they’re like the Addams family of Hollywood. What’re your thoughts on Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I’ll pretty much see anything by Burton. I just hope Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter won’t give me nightmares like his version of Willy Wonka.

Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Great review MJ5K! “Burton it up!” indeed. :-)

I especially appreciate how you’ve identified lots of interesting and little known aspects of the movie and its making. For instance, I hadn’t known that Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton met here. They’re an all time great Hollywood couple IMO.

Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Solid review Bri.

I recall what a big deal this movie was when it came out since it was Francis Ford Coppola revisiting the Viet Nam war a decade after Apocalypse Now. What I mostly recall though is the acting tour de force of Jones and Caan, which you nicely describe in your review.

Topic: Movies / The Lion King

Actually, Roger Rabbit is NOT Disney, its Touchstone. In fact, there was nudity snuch in there but it was later cut when released on DVD. Alladin is a good movie, but I got bored with it after a while.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which you gave a Perfect sans commentary. What’s up w/ that?

Aladdin was pretty great too. Robin Williams rocked.

She’s so fine she blows my mind.

If you hate the movie, put your fingers where your mouth is and review it. Even I’m not right all the time. WikPik works best when multiple reviews accumulate against a movie.

Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Good call MJ5K.

It’s about time someone posted an appreciation of Lion King and gave it the quality rating it deserves.

Quality review. Just the right amount of commentary. Not too much but absent The Circle of Life touches all the bases.

But I gotta give it credit where credit is due, Angelina Jolie is still fine after all these years.

Ugh, I hate this movie. Brad Pitt’s an on again, off again actor. He’s awesome in movies like Fight Club and Snatch, and then he goes off and does movies like this and Troy.

Yeah, it just didn’t work for me. I agree that Cars was a bit of a disappointment too.

I remember Richard Roeper saying he saw the ending coming from a mile away. Me, I can’t say, my sister spoiled the ending for me.
