Glen Close is not washed up! She was just on The Shield, a highly praised tv show. Anyway, I wasn't planning to see the movie.steverules wrote:It was put together by some Oklahoma boys so we'd been getting nightly updates on Hoodwinked. I wasn't impressed with anything I saw over the past few months. The biggest angle the news kept focusing on was "You got Glen Close!!!" Yeah, a washed up over the hill actress who can't find work. Congratulations. After seeing news clip after news clip I've seen all I want to see.
That said I spent my hard earned bucks on Grandma's Boy. Yeah, I'm retarded.
Hoodwinked! (no spoilers)

Bah.
I saw it last night and laughed my ass off at some parts - especially the squirrel.
At any rate, the animation didn't bother me much. Yeah the wolf's face had me transfixed for a while - he looks like an animatronic wolf, really - but I still thought it was worth seeing.
Perhaps I'm just easily amused.

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

As usual, I see dated films. Here are some that I've seen lately:
Corpse Bride - I think it's perfect, the best of his so far. Please do not make a big discussion over this, it's just one opinion.
El Mariachi - I liked it, more than "Desperado" (that I also liked) because of the crudeness that low budget inforced. It's a simple exploitation film, never pretending to be some high-pitched drama, always being about thrill and tension, and directed very skilfully.
Hot chick - Stupid teenage comedies are my guilty pleasure, but I would've liked more if this was more a teenage comedy and less a Rob Schneider comedy. By that I mean I wished he wasn't in cender of attention. I wanted to see more of how the guy in girl's body gets around and I don't think Schneider handled his role very well: after the switch, he was just effeminate, but he simply wasn't the same character as the girl. He was just some big ugly guy acting weird.
There's something about Mary - It's got great plot but it would've been better if it wasn't a gross-out comedy but an ordinary one. Gross out comedies are purposefully stupid, they are playing at your lowest needs, there is no place for clever, satiric stories like this one in them. Just like anyone, I've known "hair gel" joke for a while before seeing the film. Well, that joke is one of the parts that simply don't fit in - not in this film. It seems like the joke was made for the sole purpose of putting it in trailer. For moments, film forgets that it's a gross-out comedy and starts playing like a normal one. Then, suddenly, it's like you hear authors saying "Hey, we haven't done anything gross lately!" and some joke like that gets inforced where it doesn't belong.
Kung fu hustle - The plot is very stupid but intentionally. It's a film in which any character can suddenly step out and say: I am actually a master of kung-fu in disguise, I just didn't want that to be known for my personal reasons." I would've liked that if fights were real, old-style, but most of thing is done with overblown CG effects and that put me off a lot. It simply doesn't have the... the same kind of honor.
Sideways - Well, it's actually been a while since I saw this one... it's a small drama about people who can't express their emotions directly so they do that through metaphores about wine.
Double whammy - I generally like Tom DiCillo. Small, relatively cheap films, but well written with a lot of quirky characters. Such is this one.

Existence is a series of catastrophes through which everything barely but continually survives.
