First there was just under 5 hours, then 2 hours, then 7 minutes.

The story felt a bit bland and uninteresting, and for some reason, Stone's direction didn't really add any cool or original flair to this material like I expected it to. At least he's back from doing political documentaries though.

Didn't know that she's the poor man's Jennifer Lawrence too. And that's sad because there's a playfulness in Lively's voice that almost made the narration/her/the movie tolerable.Paolohttps://twitter.com/#!/paolocasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-68365161616226931382012-07-27T14:07:02.927-04:002012-07-27T14:07:02.927-04:00Well, I was on the fence about this one.

I would have much preferred the curvy awesomeness that is Jennifer Lawrence to the Amazonian goodness that Lively provided. <br /><br />Though to be fair, having seen Winter's Bone, beaten down Lawrence is alarmingly frightening.m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-992711448205609392012-07-27T11:16:11.308-04:002012-07-27T11:16:11.308-04:00Fun fact: did you that Jennifer Lawrence was origi...Fun fact: did you that Jennifer Lawrence was originally cast in this movie?

Well, minus the whole thing that Lado recorded on his phone. Maybe if we had seen that live we'd have had more sympathy for her situation.<br /><br />I felt bad for her only because they made her wear what every extra in a woman-in-prison movie has on.

It was not awful and Hayek was awesome but the violence was so tame - even the whipping scene. Also they took this chick hostage I thought they will do some seriously sick shit to her based on the trailer and some of Stone's films but it was pretty standard stuff too. And that stupid double ending. The film should have ended 3 minutes faster.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-4976455046189127542012-07-26T19:07:42.131-04:002012-07-26T19:07:42.131-04:00I skipped your Yays and Boos since I haven't s...I skipped your Yays and Boos since I haven't seen this yet. I was just about to mention Taylor Kitsch and there he was in your final paragraph. Shame, just when he thought 2012 was going to be his breakthrough year. Battleship was a waste of time but I actually enjoyed John Carter though.asrap virtuosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619196693619042618noreply@blogger.com
