It's a different kind of funny. Different kind of comedy. It was the whole concept, the atmosphere, the circumstances, etc, along with the very funny acting that made it a comedy. I saw it 2 years ago and again earlier this year Ive always thought it was great. So it's top of my list in that genre.
Dude she was like 12 at the time =\ I'm not THAT creepy, though she was still beautiful then. Reminds me of Ella Fanning and Chloe Moretz, stunningly gorgeous and great actresses, though JC was far from great early on. I love her, but Labyrinth was terribly acted, even though I adore the movie. Anyway, I'm far from sold on OUTA. I don't mind long movies, but I DO mind movies where there are no redeeming characters. Other than Fat Moe, I just see a bunch of unsavory jackalopes. At least there was some good in the Godfather movies, which are truly some of the only "gangster" films I like. I'm sure there are others with less redeeming characters that I enjoy, but there are usually other characteristics that are appealing. Dark, unrepentant and misogynistic characters aren't ones I generally like watching, though I do enjoy Boardwalk Empire, so there are other factors that I can't quite put my finger on. If anyone likes British films, you REALLY, REALLY must watch The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. It is one of my top films of all time, it just found its way into my head and stuck there, I was worried and expected I'd be somewhat bored by it, but nope. I loved every second of it, especially once the duel concluded.
Dr. Strangelove is considered a comedy, but we don't generally laugh out loud, though the line "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room!" is so simple, so obvious but so brilliant that it makes me happy every time I hear it. There's also one scene where Buck trips and does a roll while talking, it was an accident, but Kubrick kept rolling and because Scott is such a damn good actor, no one would have guessed that he accidentally tripped. As for comedies that don't generally make a person laugh, there are many that I love: The Royal Tenenbaums (hell, almost any Wes Anderson film) Fargo Being John Malkovich Trainspotting I don't generally find myself laughing out loud, but they are funny. Quite funny.
Well Emma Stone pretends to have lost her virginity and becomes the school slut. It all goes down from there.
The Killing (Kubrick) was absolutely INCREDIBLE. THAT MAN never ceases to amaze me. Never. He was 27 when he made this, 27. I ignored Paths of Glory, this and Spartacus... Man how I regret that. Those 3 are his most accessible movies, and I loved every second of them. While I still don't really care for Eyes, Barry Lyndon or Lolita, everything else is gold and I think Killing and Paths are on the top of my list of his films. Paths has to be one of the greatest war/anti-war films ever made. Killing is everything I love about film noir.
I know nothing about the books or graphics novels or whatever the hell it's based on, but World War Z looks pretty sweet.
Holy shit, the trailer for The Wolverine looks sick: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/27/the-full-trailer-for-the-wolverine-is-here?utm_campaign=twposts&utm_source=twitter
