I don't know what it was about this particular film that really made me hate it so much. It just screamed: wasted source material with only diminishing returns (except for McNulty, Beltran and the gorgeous cinematography)... also I have yet to find trade reviews or 'big name' reviews that "praise" this film...mBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159859094031741254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503230777986182501.post-14016723356875688952009-03-06T19:07:00.000-05:002009-03-06T19:07:00.000-05:00For more shiz and giggles:http://www.youtube.com/w...For more shiz and giggles:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5A3Oo_zj5c&NR=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503230777986182501.post-3121995380050711442009-03-06T19:04:00.000-05:002009-03-06T19:04:00.000-05:00Defensive?

I'll browse and comment on anything. <BR/><BR/>Little Ashes has recieved consistant raves from its premiere in Raindance. Pattinson included. Confessions of a shopoholic on the other hand, is becoming one of the worst reviewed film of the year. I've visited your blog before and checked out previous reviews. Can you blame a girl for wondering about the reason behind this anomoly?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and tell me you did not laugh at the clip above?

And yes, I understand Dali was an 'eccentric' character but Pattison doesn't make him believable from scene to scene.<BR/><BR/>Second of all, reviews are subjective no? And the reason I give out letter grades is because I 'grade' the film in terms of itself: what is the film trying to do, does it accomplish it well. Shopaholic gets a B+ because, given what it tries to do and accomplishes, I think it's a B+ film.<BR/><BR/>Third of all: Anonymous, what did YOU think of Little Ashes? Or... is this one of those moments where you even haven't seen the film but feel protective of it for whatever reason and can't stomach a 'bad review' (from a random blogger, mind you) about it?mBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159859094031741254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503230777986182501.post-72753732226631039172009-03-03T18:16:00.000-05:002009-03-03T18:16:00.000-05:00BTW, did you know anything about Dali before you w...BTW, did you know anything about Dali before you went in to see the film?

As soon as I saw the trailer for this film I knew that Robert Pattinson's performance would be just as craptacular as you said. I don't know if you've seen <I>Twilight</I>, but I found it incredibly unbelievable how Kristen Stewart was getting all these notices about how bad she was when Pattinson was 100 times worse. This quote of yours perfectly summed up my thoughts about Pattinson in <I>Twilight</I>: "Also, when the audience is laughing at you, well - need we say more?"Dame Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684030137746709310noreply@blogger.com
