Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 01.10.2014, 11:20 PM: I tend to like male characters over female. Yeah, Anna is a bit more conventional. I do like more complex characters, it just took longer for Elsa to rub me the right way. Not sure why (it's like that with other characters like that too, it just takes time for me to really love their characters and when I do, I just see everything as so much more).

Posted by Kazegami on 01.17.2014, 09:19 PM: I saw Tangled. It was okay, but... very predictable and cliché. Wouldn't watch again.

Posted by Saddletank on 01.18.2014, 06:36 AM: Saw Frozen yesterday and I feel the same as Kaz did about Tangled. Its 100% typical Disney fayre, a cartoon musical with Barbie-cute singing heroines, talking animal sidekicks, the exact same formula they've been pumping out for nigh on 70 years. Yes, the 3D animation is technically very impressive but that is the only significant element; everything else is the same old same old, no originality in story, characters, anything.

Posted by Saddletank on 01.18.2014, 06:28 PM: There's a lot of talent in the technical productions and from time to time a western director or writer will bring in some new style or humour like Madagascar or Shreck or Monsters Inc, but really the Disney format is the same family-with-young-kids stuff that is decades old.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 01.18.2014, 10:42 PM: Personally, I don't usually walk in to watch a Disney movie expecting it to be something fantastic or different. It's fun sometimes just to watch something with a lot of cliches and whatnot (I liked Tangled for the most part, but it was because it was fun to watch). But even I found Frozen to be different than the regular fare...

Posted by husky51 on 01.25.2014, 12:15 PM: Was flipping channels last night and came across "Blazing Saddles". I have the DVD, but hadn't thought about it in a while...
|
Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 01.25.2014, 12:26 PM: Aw Saddles, it's a pity it wasn't your thing, I have to say I'm with the others and found it refreshing on the most part. I mean there were the occasional tropes (talking non-human sidekick) but the music/animation was gorgeous and the emphasis on sibling love was touching.

Posted by Koda on 01.25.2014, 06:53 PM: Saw the Despicable me films, they were pretty good the minions made me giggle rather a lot.
|
Posted by Tea Master Tall on 02.09.2014, 07:04 PM: Watched Perfect Blue. I was a bit confused with what was reality/dream. The ending seemed a bit abrupt to me, but whatever. It was cool. lol |
Posted by fenkashi on 02.20.2014, 10:05 AM: Whisper of the Heart. For the 34th time, I think. It's amazing how it never gets old. ^_^
|
Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 02.20.2014, 07:40 PM: Saw Her, directed by Spike Jonze and starring Joaquin Phoenix. Very beautiful and touching. A slow view perhaps, but I think on the whole rewarding. It also shies away from a lot of the clichés I think as a viewer you find yourself expecting. |
Posted by Buffy on 02.23.2014, 03:27 AM: I watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind today for the first time. Absolutely LOVED it. Such a good movie! |
Posted by Kazegami on 04.17.2014, 01:49 PM: So I just saw Frozen. Late to the party, I know. Honestly... I was underwhelmed. They did do some things differently like pushing sibling love over romantic love, and the revealing of Prince Hans' character did come as a genuine surprise to me. But that still didn't make it a great film for me. I do think they did something new with this but new doesn't necessarily mean good. I came out of it thinking 'huh, well that was a little different', rather than 'wow, that was great'. I liked Let It Go. I might well listen to that again, but I don't think I'll be watching the film again any time soon.

Posted by Roarkiller on 04.17.2014, 11:28 PM: Don't worry Kaz, I haven't even seen it myself. But I'll be catching Captain America sometime this week hopefully, since all my friends already saw it... without me
|
Posted by husky51 on 04.20.2014, 09:30 PM: I saw the "Last Samurai" again for the 4th or so time.... and now I'm watching "The Wizard of Oz", the original 1939 version. Which I have probably seen at least a dozen times in my life... lol |
