This sticky post will collect reviews of movies that are nominated for this Oscar season… some have been covered in the Oscar Nominations Podcast and some are still to come! Continue for all nine moviequations:
2011’s Fast Five was one of the action flicks I enjoyed the most (along with Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and reassured me that there is hope for over the top action entertainment. Maybe I enjoyed Fast Five so much because I had little to no interest in seeing it beforehand but anyways it is still on hard rotation in my Blu-Ray drive.
Therefore I am naturally looking forward to the sixth installment: Fast and Furious 6.
There will be a Super-Bowl spot but until then Vin Diesel has released a poster for the film:
Reviewing a Tarantino movie is always tricky as there are very few directors where it really depends on what you want and expect when going into his movies – depending on this either you love the things or you will roll your eyes at them.
In 2009 I heard average buzz at Cannes from Inglourious Basterds and not being a real fan of Tarantino’s works post Pulp Fiction I went in wanting to see the pretentious director fail miserably… I went out of the cinema begrudgingly admitting that Inglourious Basterds was a pretty solid film. And the more time passed the more I fell in love with it until it eventually ended on my year’s best list and still is.
With Django Unchained I went in wanting to really like it because Basterds had just swept me around and reduced all the problems I had with Death Proof and Kill Bill.
When the final credits rolled I was left thinking “maybe I expected too much”…
After the news of Christopher Nolan’s next project here are four quick newsflashes which I find quite interesting:
Christopher Nolan finished his Batman Trilogy in a grand yet divisive fashion and broke the “three movies curse” of comic book movies. And between two fantastic Batman movies he gave us one of the best constructed Sci-Fi movies in recent years. So the question is:
What will be his next treat?
