If you're saying that ... then this movie must be REALLY bad!

I liked this movie. I love Gary Oldman and werewolves.

Wow, this is real quality step-down from Sucker Punch. And considering how terrible that was, this isn't gonna be easy.
The good:
Some of the movie is hysterical: I should rephrash that: EVERYTHING about this movie is hysterical! Special mention most go to the end where Julie Christie ends up in a Julie Christie stew.
Some of the camera angles are good: The scenes where nature is shown off are beautiful. To bad that the actor's acting isn't.
Err... Amanda Seyfried sure is pretty!: Yeah I got nothing else nice to say about this.
The bad:
Gary Oldman: Seriously, what the f*ck? I know that Oldman likes money, but this is ridiculous. This is easily his worst non-Hannibal movie. I agree with Film Reel Redemption that Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy looks great, though.
Julie Christie: The hottest GILF that isn't Helen Mirren comes off pretty bad in this. Especially, when she ends up in the Julie Christie stew.
The special effects: This is some bad effects. While not as God-awful as Season Of The Witch's, it's still pretty God-awful.
The ugly:
Amanda Seyfried's acting: While, Seyfried is in no way ugly, her acting in this was. I'm surprised that she's so terrible; she's usually talented. Hell, I even thought that Letters From Juliet wasn't terrible.
Billy Burke: The actor who gave the best performance in the Twilight movies gives the worst performance here. Maybe, he's like Samson and his mustache is the key to good performances.
The realization that Twilight was better: When you can't even measure up to a franchise notable for being terrible, you know you've failed. To be far, this isn't as bad as New Moon.
Well, that my destruction of a half-assed Twilight rip-off. Grade: D+

Thankfully, Oldman will be able to redeem himself this year since he is also cooking up a lot of Best Actor Oscar buzz for his lead role in this film (the director of this film is someone who also directed a vampire movie - Tomas Alfredson, the man behind 'Let the Right One In')...
What do you say? A good way to make up for 'Red Riding Hood' or what?
P.S. Latest: Empire Magazine gave this film 5 stars in the October issue (which I got in advanced today since I'm subscribed to EM)...

You see in this filmmaking world there's two types of people my friend. Those with the knowledge of film and those who think they do but really don't.

I just saw it.For those who want to see it,it's not a thriller.I don't know why they advertise it as one.Actually they gave away too much in the trailer. It starts as a character study about a woman hiring a call girl to see if her husband would cheat.Then it becomes a bizarre erotic movie when CATHERINE seems to enjoy hearing what CHLOE tells her,and later when they f*ck each other.But then it tries to become FATAL ATTRACTION-like when CHLOE starts stalking CATHERINE,except that it fails to be thrilling at all.CHLOE never really seemed a threat. As for the twists,CHLOE lying about DAVID was pretty unexpected.But her letting go and falling into her death?!And CATHERINE using her comb?!Just because people do things out of the ordinary doesn't automatically means those actions are complex.They can be plain nonsense. I give it 5/10.
In which categories? |

I have a crazy idea. How about if you want to hire a female director to direct your movie with a female lead, hire Katheryn Bigelow. You know, because she's proven to have talent!

I've come to notice that Hardwicke is just not a good director, at least not for studio movies. She needs to stick with indie films.

I just saw it.
I know I said I support remakes that show a different vision.So it's a good idea to make a horror version of LIL'RED RIDIN'HOOD.But that doesn't mean they can take the story and change things to the point where 1% of the movie resembles the source.If it hadn't been for the scene where she says "What big eyes you have"(by the way,total irony),I would've forgot I was watching an adaptation.This was just an excuse to have a love triangle and a werewolf all in one movie.Seriously!All they had to do was write a movie about a girl(any age and race)that goes on a trip(any location and year)to visit her grandma,and then find out she was replaced an evil wolf(or any evil being). If you thought that in THE TWILIGHT SAGA it was obvious which guy the girl would choose,this time is worse.There was no hint she'd choose the other guy.Speaking of,don't worry.The only similarity with that saga is the guys's hair styles.This plays more like THE VILLAGE(there are even similar plot points). I did get scared a few times,but overall Hardwicke can't create tension,whether it is during a scary moment or a scene with characters argueing. Seyfried's performance is fine most of the time,but when she's aware she's saying bland dialogue she stops trying.I can't blame her.And I can't decide who's worse here:Oldman or Fernandez.Well,doesn't matter,since Burke* gives the worst. I give this 1/10(could've been 0). *If Burke and Oldman get nominated,it would be for Supp. Actor.But what about Fernandez?Is he considered lead?

Yeah, Red Riding Hood was really bad. So far, it's the worst movie of the year, imho.
I mean, the previews looked interesting, and I liked the idea of a darker version of the fairy tale.But the movie should have been a lot more interesting than it turned out to be. You had great actors like Oldman, Seyfried, Madsen, and Christie here. Yet it was just predictable, extremely dull, and unintentionally laughable in many scenes.

This was really bad. There were some good aerial shots and some scenes* were hilarious, but, for the most part, it was a boring mess. The acting was bad, even from Oldman and Seyfried.
Also, I'm at level three in Duke Nukem Forever and, so far, it's fun.
*Like the insanely obvious dream scene. You'll know it when/if you see it. |

Come to think of it, Seyfried's eyes are indeed almost on par with those of E.T. !!

Chloe wasn't so much a thriller as it was an "erotic drama." As I said once before, erotic thrillers are often just soft-core pornos with murder mystery subplots. This movie wasn't the case. Although a quality drama with a little sex to it, I wouldn't say it's award worthy.

That scene won the Mr. Skin Award for "Best Lesbian Scene"!And I'm glad it did.
Richard Roeper gave this a D-.

They just released Chloe in 2009. Do you think this should've been nominated for the Golden Globes instead of either The Lovely Bones or Rob Marshall's Nine? If your answer is yes, I'd be amazed that such a hot-sounding erotic thriller would get that much commendation from you for how recent it is. That's saying a lot, because I'm 4th tier bisexual.
