Scenes go on way longer than they should. It needed snappier editing.<BR/><BR/>If you like the subject matter, rent it.

If we perceive we are in for an ass-kicking ride then the film better deliver it or we are seriously ticked off.<BR/><BR/>I've always felt the poster art, and a significant scene in the first act should should act as a deposit for what the film is intending to deliver.Anthony Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364989475029835783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-16775219871750778512008-12-08T12:22:00.000-08:002008-12-08T12:22:00.000-08:00The screener for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE comes with a ...The screener for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE comes with a nifty, Impossible Mission Message that goes something like this: "Destroy after viewing. Do NOT share with friends or anyone else. If you do not know how to destroy this DVD (and there are intricate instructions on how to cut it up), please call the Guild and someone will come to your home/office and take possession of this DVD and destroy it for you."<BR/><BR/>And in this case of this particular screener I couldn't get to work on my DVD player so I had to scrunch up and watch it on my Macbook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-32285048885699201672008-12-08T12:07:00.000-08:002008-12-08T12:07:00.000-08:00Man, I can't believe you didn't like MONGOL.

Our webpage is "female oriented", huh? Hmmm, not sure how to interpret that. I use more male readers than female readers and I don't really read much at all these days. But this is interesting feedback. Although I do think that any reader worth his or her salt can analyze any genre with aplomb. Is there a slightly sexist bent to your comments? Of course I'm going to see the Wrestler - I watch and enjoy all kinds of movies from every genre. I am a girl, so if that automatically lowers someone's estimation of me and my professional skillset, there's not much I can do about that :)Julie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690487940378619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-37659284824403743562008-12-08T09:22:00.000-08:002008-12-08T09:22:00.000-08:00Hi Julie,I never thought you would be a fan of The...Hi Julie,<BR/><BR/>I never thought you would be a fan of The Wrestler.<BR/><BR/>You know I was shy from using your services since I noticed this blog and your webpage is very "female oriented". And more than 80% of your fans and readers are women.<BR/><BR/>Heh, I could be wrong.<BR/><BR/>So you are going to see The Wrestler.<BR/><BR/>Love it.<BR/><BR/>I'll give your services a try in the new year 2009.<BR/><BR/>Okay, a woman that's going to see The Wrestler, that's very cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
