      It's really a character piece. You seem to like those so you may dig Moneyball, despite not being a baseball guy.

        As usual, I loved the pacing, dialogue, music, cinematographic swoops and flourishes, and stylistic choices.

        However, I am getting a little weary of QT's revenge flick motif- which has been his last 4 movies. It's lazy B.S. and keeps his films from getting back to being as great as Pulp Fiction. I know it worked well for Kill Bill, but it's just boring now.

        Also, I was a little disturbed by the cruelty portrayed in the film. Not because of the content, because Inglorius Basterds was worse, but the story there was more serious to match it seems. There are very light moments and comedic exchanges in scenes punctuated with incidents of extreme cruelty and violence. I think it's that juxtaposition that bothered me. Not enough to dislike the film, but that tonal dissonance threw my vibe off a bit. I don't know if that was QT's intention, but if it wasn't he's one emotionally crippled guy it seems.
        know what movie was the worst this way? burn after reading. the audience at the theatre where i saw it was rolling when malkovich was hatcheting that guy to death.

          Jeff, Who Lives at Home was directed by the Duplass brothers. Mark Duplass has been in a lot of good stuff kind of in that same low-key dramedy vein like Jeff. If you haven't seen Safety Not Guaranteed, Your Sister's Sister, or Humpday, you may enjoy those.

            saw it in utah. i might have been hallucinating schlongs (it's happened before), but when django busts into the cabin where they're holding "broomhilda" one of the guys is taking a bath and stands up and gets his love muscle blown off.

              • The mrs was watching the iron lady tonight, and while I didn't see a lot of it, I'm just going to go ahead and call that streep performance overrated. She was basically just doing an old woman version of her julia child routine.

                  Thatcher is so overrated. That MMMM movie looks good.

                    I've seen none of those, they are on the list.

                      I liked the story itself. Tom Cruise is a weird dude, but he still does a good job in these types of shows. I guess people didn't like him being hte character because he is such a little dude and the character from the book is a large man, but I never read the book so I didn't feel real strongly one way or the other.

                      It was good, not great. There's better stuff out right now to see, but it was decent.
                      I haven't wanted to see this but I have been watching Cruise on the Graham Norton show tonight. I guess I forgot this or never knew but he is an incredibly likable guy and it sounds like everyone who has ever worked with him not only likes him but gushes about him. I have heard it said that the whole Scientology thing amounts to him being more than a little naive and somewhat easily taken. I don't know. But I find it hard to square my dislike for him, which if I'm honest is over the Scientology stuff, with the guy I am watching here who seems really genuine and...nice I suppose. He doesn't seem smart enough for it to all be an act. Anyway, I think I might go see this now.

                        saw Jack Reacher tonight. I really liked it despite the gratuitous cheesy one-liners throughout.

                        Also, I didn't think it was all that violent. Sorry. There's hardly any blood and most of the graphic content was implied.

                        Tom Cruise is pretty damn engaging to watch in a movie like this. I know he's a midget in real life but his badassness was pretty believable-- I think they did the movie a favor by not overdoing it on that front.

                        Also, I loved the Chevelle and who is that blonde??

                            I liked Jack Reacher too. A solid 'B'. But I did think it was pretty violent. You're right that it wasn't gory. But I did notice it. The sniper scenes were a little cringe inducing.

                            But I am pissed that he didn't run ONCE in the movie. What's a Tom Cruise movie without a running scene?!?

                              Rosamund Pike. She's best known to me for co starring with Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice.

                                She was also one of the few bright spots in that awful Brosnan bond movie with the Korean super plane.
