Re: Reviews & Ratings

In case you asked because you'd like to hearing my thoughts, here's a brief review.

The Descendants attempts and succeeds in doing what other films simply cannot. The film finds an effective balance between two extremes of drama (tearjerker) and comedy (absurdism), but keeps a solid form in the hands of its writer and director Alexander Payne. While his last film, Sideways felt more like a complete picture in my eyes and the locale of its story was much more intriguing (despite being a few hours away from me), The Descendants features a much more balanced performance from its male protagonist, George Clooney, whose character changes as abruptly as the film's tones. It's not the best film I've seen this year, but definitely one that has left some form of impression. I think I might be too close to the subject material with this one, after recently having gone through a death in the family, and while I don't agree the film captures life as it is in those tragic moments, the film is honest and earnest in its portrayal of human emotion.

Re: Reviews & Ratings

I agree that a review would be more helpful (in addition to the description maybe?).


Anyone seen The Descendants yet?

I'm not talking about short or long. Why do you post summaries? We can easily look up what the film is about, why not tell us what you think rather than giving us a basic plot summary?

Why do you only post short plot summaries of the films?

Why not
the title is review & rate, doesn't say short or long review

Seven Pounds

Will Smith who works for the Irs gets in contact with people & trys to help them with there personal life. He gets connected with one girl emotionally & romantically. Once in a while he has flashbacks of how he & his wife got in a car accident wen they crashed with a bus and the 6 + the wife died. In reality he was a very depressed man who didn't work for the IRS but was just trying to block the tragedy b helping people who have sever illness or abused & try to make them happy & have better lives

4/5
