I thought India did a good job in Underworld. Looking at The Secret Life of the American Teenager you'd think both her and Shailene were the worst actresses to walk this earth and then you see them in outside projects and they're no worse than anyone else.

A+. Perfection. The movie that comes closest to encapsulating childhood. Ralphie is of a different era and a different gender but pretty much everything that goes through his head went through mine as a child.There is no character I can more closely identify with in the whole of cinema. A matter of fact if you were to mix Ralphie and Angelica from Rugrats you'd have kiddie glassfairy.

A-. The storyline didn't interest me at all but it was so phenomenally acted and so beautifully shot that it couldn't bore me.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - B-
-
B-The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo book would make my top 10 list of books written in the past 50 years so from the start this movie had a lot to live up to for me. It started off slow but then so did the book. I was glad i'd had a nap before I went to see this because i'm pretty sure I would have fallen asleep otherwise. But the thing with the book was even though it was slow to draw me in, once it did I was hooked on the Harriet mystery. I loved Kalle Blomkvist. I can't pretend I ever came to like Lisbeth throughout the entire series but I did root for her/feel for her. I can't pretend the movie made me feel anything of the sort. Reading the book I was second guessing everyone (seriously, I had EVERYONE on my suspect list at some point) and the mystery drew me in as much as any mystery has ever done in literature. In the movie, I couldn't really care less. I never felt involved.I love Daniel Craig but I wasn't feeling him as Blomkvist. It's a mystery to me how Rooney Mara could have gotten an Oscar nod for that performance. It was average at best. To think that heifer will turn up at the Oscars (no doubt looking sullen in a black Givenchy couture dress, mark my words) instead of Elizabeth Olsen (who would have rocked vintage Chanel and been a breathe of fresh air on the red carpet, i'm sure) is a tragedy. Casting gets 50% of the blame from me and David Fincher gets the rest. I have never liked his direction and this movie didn't change my mind at all.All in all like most books I like I feel like this one can only work as a mini series. You cannot make this into a movie without sacrificing characterization. Here's hoping somewhere down the line the BBC does a mini series. They are the only hope for this being done right.

January 23 - The Devil Inside - 10/10. Lol, I have rarely been so perfectly trolled in my life. The thing is the movie really was creepy/well done imo and then the ending came and everyone was wtf-ing and lol-ing and I was dying laughing. Ahahaha. Trolling when done right is an art form and the makers of this deserve only praise. I really don't get why anyone would be mad or disappointed at the ending. People take movies way too seriously.

I think this is my favorite thread on BOT
. And even though it made me laugh I get where everyone is coming from. I'm somewhat surprised it's not even getting nominated. I don't think any of the movies have been award winning quality and the series on a whole hasn't been consistent enough to get rewarded as one work. However, the quality of the series as a whole is at least good enough to get the recognition of a nomination. And the last movie was well received. Plus I don't think the movie field is so strong this year than Harry Potter can't weasel at least a Golden Globe nomination for best drama. -

January 21 - Beauty and the Beast 3D TWICE ! I laughed, I cried, I reminisced. 10/10.Actually, I can't remember the exact dates but I was on vacation from the start of the year and I saw Monte Carlo (1/10) and Paranormal Activity 3 (8/10) at the movies there.
-
You wanted the lowest score...
-
Elizabeth Olsen gets a nomination for Best Actress. I know her buzz has all but died but the Oscars love a young starlet.Lynne Ramsay gets a Best Director nomination for We Need To Talk About Kevin.Winnie The Pooh gets into the Animated category.
-
Finally, We Need To Talk About Kevin's direction gets the appreciation it deserves.
-
Third place !

The Skeleton Key. It's at 37% on Rotten Tomatoes and imo it was the best horror movie of the decade. Then again i'm guessing that would just be a general unpopular opinion. Whatever, i'll sit at that table for one. But in any case I never trust critics for horror movies.
-
I haven't seen all but of those i've seen :
Best - Citizen Kane
Worst - Avatar
As for there being no Sound Of Music in the top 250...

Disney princess movies.

They were super strict up until I was a teenager, then they pretty much stopped caring. There are only a couple of times i've seen my father get as mad as when he passed by the living room in the scene in the The Cable Guy where they were playing porno password. He stopped the movie right there and my brother who had rented it got in so much trouble
.
. And even though it made me laugh I get where everyone is coming from. I'm somewhat surprised it's not even getting nominated. I don't think any of the movies have been award winning quality and the series on a whole hasn't been consistent enough to get rewarded as one work.
