SilverShark Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yes I´m a bit disappointed that American Idols just got a "Rent It". As well as SpellForce. Maybe you can tell me why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySenkari Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 American Idols seemed just a bit melodramatic to me, seemed like it was trying to graft the methodology of the Aryan Brotherhood onto a high school clique and while it was an interesting film it just got to be a clusterf**k, especially at the end.Spellforce had great special effects and some dramatic and intriguing scenes, but the film itself was quite confusing. It seemed like the main character was bouncing from one place to another, it was hard to keep the various characters straight and I found myself in a position where I didn't really care about any of them which is one of the worst things that can happen to a film.

Hiccup Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Could you share some thoughts on Apocalypse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySenkari Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Apocalypse is a ground-breaking disaster/alien invasion film, in a lot of ways a hybrid of Avatar and Independence Day with the best parts of both and the worst parts excised. It's great seeing a war between humans and aliens both inverted and then played straight. Very tragic, filled with magnificent performances and incredible action. It could be the blockbuster of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not all of us are on that train though. For And the Band Played On, perhaps you could shed some light on what male actors should be pushed for an Oscar. Nothing for me really sticks out as a lead since it's an ensemble film but maybe you have an idea about if one male role really dominates. Also for supporting I'm unsure who to push since there's a few options in my mind and I don't want to push more than 2 to avoid a major vote split.

RySenkari Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Oops, sorry about that. Your best bets for Best Actor are probably George Clooney and Bradley Cooper. Push them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push them both.I'd push Clooney for Supporting since his role is essentially the dramatic antagonist to both Caviezel's and Amalric's characters so he sort of piggybacks onto their narrative arcs. Cooper was definitely one of the roles I was going to push for something since his arc's the most tragic. Thanks for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySenkari Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Are there even five actresses that will be in the Best Actress category? I counted like four in the FYC thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunch Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Billy's best franchise was Rise of the Machines, too bad I wont ever get to read it again.I remember how I helped him choose the title. *flashbacks* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 *as Hunch's flashbacks go, we see a fuzzy looking screen done in TV/movie style where it looks diffrent* :PBut yeah that was a very enjoyable trilogy. You probably do remember me liking those quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It could be like last year where we were desperate. (For crying out loud I made the Lesbian drama then with Ashely Tisdale and Anna Kendrick Followed by a fantasy....nevermind ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySenkari Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I don't think it's a problem, by the way. Liz Gillies would probably be the frontrunner even in a crowded field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
