MovieMan89 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You guys are right but I really love this. Cate is a Hamnado which is perfect for this because the character is supposed to be a phony and it works in comedy better than in a drama. Plus, Cate is like Keanu's photo-negative - you watch him for bamboo stick acting, you watch her for chewing scenery. They won't change so you ain't cheated cause you know what to expect. But I was surprised how much I liked Jasmine and I never like Cate caricatures characters. You liked Cate in Hobbit too if I remember right. I think you've warmed up to her as an actress.

fishstick Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) You liked Cate in Hobbit too if I remember right. I think you've warmed up to her as an actress. Maybe she's letting her own warmth seep into her roles fianlly. I did like Galadriel in TH. I adore Cate off screen because she's so fun.

Heretic Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Was the show packed? How is general reception in UK? It was pretty packed. Only seats left were the few bottom rows. From what I gathered the people in the audience were terrified. I looked around near the end and half of them had their hands over their faces.

zackzack Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wait...you loved PR but you think NYSM is stupid? And you still have that terrifying avi! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But I still think you're a good guy. PR is a straight forward monster mash movie and it does just that. NYSM is trying to be some kind of a PRESTIGE/OCEAN'S 11 hybrid but ending up not as clever as it thinks. NYSM is pretty entertaining but it is not as fun as OCEANS movies, and not as well constructed as THE PRESTIGE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyla Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) the daughter of my boss saw it the other day & said it was worse & less scary than Evil Dead will never see it myself but happy for Vera she deserves success Edited August 5, 2013 by Leyla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Because it's scary as hell. What's so difficult to understand? Except it's no more scary than PA...that's why. Pulling hair, thrown around it's not even groundbreaking. Exorcism and Poltergeist movies have been done much better. This, while based on a true story, is very by the numbers.

And the performances were also fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcism and Poltergeist movies have been done much better. This, while based on a true story, is very by the numbers. I don't really think it's fair to compare every horror movie to Exorcist and Poltergeist. It's like comparing every romance to Gone with the Wind. Nobody's claiming TC is an all-time classic but it's far more effective than the average crap the genre produces. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I agree that the Conjuring is very good for a modern traditional horror film, but some people were comparing it to the Ring when it first came out, and I just don't see that. It isn't even a third as scary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
