Farewell young man. You were starting to become a phenom in the acting world. I look forward to seeing you as the joker. How many times are we going to bury another waste of a budding star? It's turning into a routine thing. Soon the sting of such things will lose its bite.
Too many times. Too many negative messages.

The Bucket List
Why are the critics so harsh on this film? God forbid there is a formulaic hollywood movie with respected established stars in it that's entertaining. It doesn't give you much but sometimes I just want to get away for an ahour and a half to two hours and just enjoy a popcorn flick. Can we still have that or does everything have to have deep impactful meaning?
There Will Be Blood
There will be...
An incredible performance by one of the greatest actors anyone has seen. Sure he's a lil wierd but who isn't when they're this good. Nothing happens for the most part and the piece falls squarely on the actors.
Paul Dano suprised me as well. Not only did he hold his own opposite Daniel Day Lewis, he makes a mark on the film himself. If you remember Paul Dano was the guy who doesn't speak in the film "Little Miss Sunshine".
There is no way in hell Daniel Day Lewis doesn't get an oscar for this. If it wasn't for the fact that the supporting actor catagory is chock full of major heavyweights, Paul Dano could have easily snuck in as a dark horse.

American Gangster
Before you all jump down my throat, let me just say I was entertained. The problem is...Denzel shouldn't get any awards or nominations for this role. He did a fine job but come on. He got a Golden Globe nod because he's Denzel, not because he was incredible in it.
Ruby Dee. I love Ruby Dee. But again this aint the award winning role. She got a nod because she's worked some incredible roles since Moses was in diapers.

Gone Baby Gone
Dear Ben Affleck,
No more acting for you young man. Get behind the camera and stay there. Let little bro and BFF Damon do all the acting mmmmkay?
Great fucking flick. How awesome was the mother? She deserved the oscar nod.

No Country For Old Men
Wow...what a performance by Javier Bardem. He was so creepy, he could induce nightmares in some people. (insert long pause)
Ok, now that I got that out of the way....WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS MOVIE ABOUT?!?
I see certain lessons and themes but for the life of me Tommy Lee Jones speech at the end left me feeling like. Thanks for wasting my fucking time! Great movie, no purpose.

Atonement
Wow, for a while there I thought this was another overdone fluffy trying to hard romance film. And then....the ending. Holy shit. That woman has the tightest shot on her face and she can't hide if she has a horrible performance. Instead you see miles of pain and regret and longing to rectify her horrible wrong. I understand the oscar nod for the little girl but the older self was so gut wrenchingly painful and beautiful, that you cannot overlook her. Don't get me wrong the little girl was so great you hated her but without that ending, it's just another movie with the lower class boy in love with the unattainable higher class girl torn between family and love.
Into The Wild
Ok, serously....
I get it, I really do. Blah blah blah trying to find meaning in life blah blah. Such bullshit that rich kids act this way. Oooo how meanful is it to burn all his money. He knows deep down he can always get more and for that matter he knows he can always go home. Happiness? He seemed pretty damn happy working on the farm. Nice one there buddy. The old man? Why does this young fuck think he can tell thbe old man about life at all. Who the hell is he? What has he done? Rich young pseudo-intellectuals. All ideas...no application. And another thing, you wanna go into the wilderness to find yourself and deeper meaning in life? Rough it like the indians did. Make a bow and arrow or a club or some shit. I know guys that have roughed it and have gone in with nothing other than clothes and a knife. Pussy. Don't go in with a .22 rifle. Look at me! I want to rough it! I work at burger king and hunt with a rifle and bring a bag of rice into the wild! A camera? He brought a camera? Ok, it did affect me a little that we saw his real face in the end. That faded quickly however. DON'T BRING A FUCKING CAMERA!!! BRING SOME HO HO'S OR SOME DING DONGS OR A GRANOLA BAR! It's nice that he learned that happiness only means something when it's shared. Good lesson. I liked it. Did I need to sit through an extra 45 mins of him talking to himself about his parents etc? Waaaaaaa mommy and daddy fought. So what. You're so damn independent and free thinking, go away from home, get a job and start a life for yourself tough guy. Speaking of which. Let's face it. It's fucking IMPOSSIBLE to kill a FUCKING MOOSE with a .22 gauge rifle. Bullwinkle would get hurt and then kick the shit out of you instead. Hey dead guy! Guess what. YOU WERE FUCKING HAPPY YOU RICH SPOILED FUCKING PRICK. You died because you spit int he face of reality. You were happy with the hippies, you were happy with an underage female that wasn't that bad looking. (Hey if you're that much of a liberal free thinker why not...) You were happy on the farm. Fucking moron. You were happy AND you were doing a good job, unlike your sorry sockless ass at burger king. Hell not only were you happy with the old man. You showed him happiness and then ripped it away from him after. Good job chief! You fucking pretentious ass. I'm sorry that you died before learning your lesson but seriously you spit in the face of everyone older and wiser than you that basically told you that you were being an overbearing idealistic idiot.
Sean Penn. You are an awesome actor and director. Have you ever heard of editing? I don't like my food overcooked. This meal was burning on the stove. Eddie Vedder. Loved Pearl Jam back in the day but your cause head bullshit gets too much even for a loyal fan. Almost makes me wish it was both you and Kurt Cobain that went so we could all say how tragic it was to lose you than having us say how tragic it is that you turned into another overbearing celebrity trying to cram shit down out throats like the rest of us can't figure out life by ourselves. Seriously. WTF? All your oscar nominated music was of you strumming and humming. Oh, I guess you got soul now...my bad.
