I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that from a number of people now. It's too bad. I like the cast.

The Lego Movie (2014) - I ended up seeing this at the theatre today. Parts of it were funny, but I was getting bored by the end. However, my 6 year old cousin loved it and has been singing the song "everything is awesome" ever since.

Nebraska - what do we really know about our parents? How do we treat elderly people? This film is beautiful. The sentiments and the formal elements. The black and white cinematography is gorgeous. Everyone should see this. :heart:
 
Nymphomaniac. Multiple crushes on Stacy Martin, Shia LeBouf and Uma's insane (in every level) performance. Incredible. I enjoyed seeing men go 'ahem' in the theater over some of the dialogues and p*rn. :lol:
 
Blue Is the Warmest Color

i was kinda expecting to be disappointed. that's how it often works. i wasn't! it's so nice!

lèa isn't the star i was crushing on. though once she cuts the blue hair, she's looking really good. adèle exarchopoulos is such a ****ing cutie. she's fit, yet she's still got this baby look. in fashion editorials, yeah, i wanna see bone. but what's attractive in the "i wanna touch" sense, this girl has. aspects of her jawline might be slightly masculine; those baby cheeks make it more than work.

this abdellatif is just not gonna let her be the audience's little girl. my goto for analysis, find the noise that grates and relate to the gold standard of fiction -- nabokov's Lolita. why the graphic, gritty sex scenes disrupting an otherwise soft, beautiful, unreal film? to prevent the audience from shaping adèle into a bisexual phoebe pyncheon. h.h. carved a girl into his impossible fantasy; abdellatif is stopping the audience from doing the same. after watching her **** like a p*rn star, she's a not quite as ethereal. i plan to flesh out this idea into an essay. i gotta look into this antigone mythology the film alludes to in discussing the concept of "little." in addition to preventing the film from being lesbian/gay genre fiction -- which it edges on at moments -- i think her bisexuality also intentionally detracts from this unreal or ethereal quality. won't let it be pristine.

oh, i cried for a second! - obviously they were not going to end together -- we are told tragedy is inevitable -- but when emme tells adèle she doesn't love her. - got me. her follow-up, "a feeling of infinite tenderness" in contrast to love is very interesting. i'm not giving 5 stars until i see again, but tears put a movie in the running.

Chapitres 1 et 2?

Eastern Boys.

The gritty, very voyeuristic, documentary-style of the opening, set in and around the Gare du Nord Metro station, focusing on the gang of (Eastern European) boys, is fascinating, mesmerizing and completely pulls you into the film that soon already. I'm reminded instantly of My Own Private Idaho and Kids.

I'm so struck by these types of films where the direction is so palpable with hardly-- if any, spoken words to express the characters' feelings. The next big scene after the train station one when the gang arrives at their victim's home is at once a home invasion-- and, a house party. Very surreal: amusing and abusive.

Much like how Sofia Coppola gives depth to her characters with the silence between the spoken words, rather than the words themselves, this film has a similar style. I love that.

One of the best films I've seen in a long time.
