vava Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I was disappointed for Hotel Rwanda - I though it was really one of the best of the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 20 dollar baby was crap; a movie I will watch but one I can never recommend for a nomination. Whole bunch of melodrama and that redundant theme that "you can do it if you want it badly enough." There are a lot better movies out there which demonstrate the same point in a more elegant or funny way. I was very disappointed to see it take so many oscars. Rwanda got nothing! "The sea inside" was another dramatic film, dealing with the same issue of assisted suicide, I guess 'twas the year of euthanasia on the political table of the partial critics who ate it up with a spoon. Real talent simply takes a comfortable place next to all those others that will remain understated, including Maria Full of Grace, whose star should have been the one taking home the Golden Naked Man. The award went to a woman who received one before and toned her body as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole bunch of melodrama and that redundant theme that "you can do it if you want it badly enough." style_images/master/snapback.png I thought so too but most everybody around me liked it. I thought the movie was boring, especially the first part, before her injury. Maybe it was boring to me because there was nothing in the movie that I could relate too. Why was this movie so hyped?

Accelerated Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I wouldnt say it was crap, but it also wasnt much better than ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Does anyone recommend me to watch Closer? I'm really apprehensive about it, because I saw the play a couple of years ago and it was really crass and disappointing. Some of my friends have forewarned me as well.

Nakharar Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I would highly recommend the movie "Der Untergang" (The Downfall). I have never seen such intensity and realism in a film before. The whole thing blew my mind. Some scenes are really chilling. Bruno Ganz performance as Adolf Hitler is extraordinary. A must see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith By far the best one of the newly made episodes. Largely the result of more action and less dialogue . Its so good that Im contemplaiting renting and watching the older episodes as I've never been a fan and cant remmember the rest of the story. 9/10 Crash This was a pleasant surprise. Similar to 'Mystic River' and '21 Grams' but better than both. A serious movie that is directly related to the life of Armenians in LA and other multi-cultural cities around the world. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahit Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 You wouldn't gain anything from watching Closer. style_images/master/snapback.png Oh, I did gain something: the song!!! You wo't believe me, but for the first time in my life i REALLY listened to a song ("can't take my eyes over you...") IN A MOVIE and, guess how many time IN A ROW?! 10!! maybe even more oh, i just loved how the movie starts with that song... and the song is sooooo simple!!! the same sentence, but yet sang in such ways...makes you feel something different each time u hear that sentence... Oh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahit Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 A movie that i was really happy to watch, that FINALLY was worth watching (for me! having in mind the tipe of movies i like) in last few monthes, is the "Momentum". The content is nothing new, neither special: the same old thing: the wife has been killed, the husband is trying to get the killer,bla bla bla. BUT, oh my God! the way it was shoot! oh, i liked it soooo much! i can't recall watching anything made that way before,uuuuuu!!!! liked it soooo much! has anyone watched it? i don't want to tell u how it was made, because it won't be interesting if u know in advance... but u won't like it also, if u like "easy" movies. As for a movie that i felt like watching again and agian in last few months is the "Kongfu", translated into english as "chinese gongfu" i think. i love Zhou Xingchi's movies. He shows the real way chinese think, act and live, but in a funny way, so you laugh a lot, but also think at the same time: "zizaxum em, bayc lacelu ban a..."

And it all made sense in the end, I would recommend this movie very strongly, great story and great work of art which I hope could somewhat lead to understanding and harmony in this city. Very true part of a daily life in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraHye Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Has anyone seen the movie, "Midnight Express"? If so, what did you think about it? I've heard the movie is about an Armenian man named Razmik Minasian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 About the cruelty of Turks. I have yet to see it, but I am afraid I will not be very impressed. Seems like the same triteness about Turks and Armenians again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Arvy, did you see "Broken Flowers"? That was my last movie experience. If you did, did you think that it was trying too hard and ended up as a pseudo-intellectual mambo-jumbo, void of meaningful dialogue and a "shocking" praise for Bill Murray’s current choice of monotonous characters with monotonous facial expressions. It was just totally pompous. I want to see your list of favorite old movies. In fact everyone should post their favorite old movies. Do we have a link like that?
