The fact that the "Academy" didn't nominate this film for Best Documentary is outrageous! They should be ashamed of themselves! Do they even watch the films they nominate? I'm beginning to think not!
A very humanizing film about life and death. I loved the dry wit and humor that was utilized in its portrayal of the heavy subject matter. Great film. Highly recommended!
A very sweet and lighthearted film that just serves as further proof that Jimmy Stewart was one of the absolute greats of cinema. So likeable and humble with talent coming out of his ears! Such a great performance that I thought I'd actually seen "Harvey" during the film. Now that's great acting...
Like I've said of many movies/films (there is a difference between the two), it's definitely not the best or worst movie I've seen. It has its funny and entertaining moments. Good popcorn flick.
I wish more people would see this film! It grossed barely half its budget during its run. This is unbelievable. Fantastic performances, great screenplay, naturally poetic dialogue, and beautiful cinematography. An awesome addition to the western genre. It's so good, it will be enjoyed by those that dislike western films. Future classic.
Just got around to watching F&F6. I was distracted the entire time during the film knowing Paul Walker is no longer with us. The movie is your usual F&F film with chases, explosions, humor, and over-the-top gravity defying action sequences. I just hope when F&F7 is released that we find a little more heart and soul in it as fitting send off for Paul Walker and his character. He deserves that.
Great horror mockumentary with excellent performances, dialogue, atmosphere, and concept. Very eerie and unnerving. So realistic at times that you'll catch yourself wondering why you didn't hear about the subject on the news. Very well done.
I just watched DBC with less than 24 hours to go until the Academy Awards begin. All I'll say is that if McConaughey and Leto don't walk away with gold, the Academy Awards will have officially deemed themselves irrelevant in my book.
I pleasantly surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this film. I'm not big on the sci-fi genre, but this had me from the start. It definitely was snubbed by the Academy. The performance by Sam Rockwell was fantastic. Definitely deserved a nomination. The cinematography also was deserving, IMHO.
Not a bad film, per se, but Bigelow's methods do come off as an attempt to rewrite history. This completely distracted me from the film. At times I felt as though I was watching pro-torture propaganda. So according to the film I'm supposed to believe torture led to info that led to the killing of Bin Laden? This is not at all accurate. Do a little research and you'll see for yourself, but don't take my word for it.
U.S. Senator John McCain, who was tortured during his time as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, said that the film left him sick – "because it's wrong". In a speech in the Senate, he said, "Not only did the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed not provide us with key leads on bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed, it actually produced false and misleading information."[76] McCain and fellow senators Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin sent a critical letter to Michael Lynton, chairman of the film's distributor, Sony Pictures Entertainment, stating, "[W]ith the release of Zero Dark Thirty, the filmmakers and your production studio are perpetuating the myth that torture is effective. You have a social and moral obligation to get the facts right."
Although not as good as a Pixar film, it has great animation, a talented voice cast, and enough jokes and sight gags to keep you entertained through it's 80 min runtime. It was better than I expected.
An awesome and fascinating documentary about a very talented singer-songwriter I'd never heard of, but who deserves recognition and respect. I loved it.
