Super Freak Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Is elf ok for kids? I've been waiting to order it on payperview, but I won't if it's not good even for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 It's okay for kids. The problem is that there's not a whole lot in it for adults..I think we've been spoiled by movies like Shrek that are hilarious for the whole family. I was disappointed in Elf, because I love Will Ferrell. But kids would like it methinks. That being said, I think my favourite Will Ferrell performance was in the movie "Dick" (damn fine satire, I highly recommend it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I heard a couple kids in the video store say how much they hated it as well. They looked about 10ish. I found it extremely boring with a stupid story. I mean the plot had all the makings of a funny film, but they did jack sh!t with it. Shame. Real shame.

Patchoulia Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 It was not entertaining to me in any way. However, it was incredibly popular, it did very well (the numbers suggest a lot of repeat business) so someone must have liked it--I gotta assume it was kids.

SolarGarlic Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Festival Express - Saw it 3 times in the theater. Absolutely loved it. Motorcycle Diaries - Dispite the fact it was a great movie, it makes me want to visit South Amer. in the worst way.. Grateful Dead Movie - Had NEVER seen this prior to the release of the DVD. Just really fu©kin' fun movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 A lot of your choices are old movies! My favourite this year is Hero ( which was released in Asia 2 years ago, but is new to North America ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple foot Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 There's a few, but none could hold a candle to City of God. That was one of the best films I've ever seen. took the advice and rented this last night. i would echo those comments. awesome movie. the bonus feature on the dvd was intense. interviewing 13 and 14 year old boys who are drug dealers, crooked cops, the locals who have to deal with the drug war in the slums. I had no idea it was that bad in rio. a real eye opener for sure. great flic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonberry Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Having said that, I feel I *must* see "Elf"! MarcO, I felt the same way. Will Farrell makes me laugh just looking at him. Please heed my advise and stay far, far away from this terrible, terrible movie.It sucked so bad I now cry every time I see Will Farrell. He is dead to me. Some people enjoyed it. If you walk into it realizing it's a children's movie, you might be better suited to handle it. I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best Will Farrell movie ever, but, it made me smile a few times.Anchorman was pretty damn solid, though I think Napoleon Dynamite was my favourite comedy of the year.I think my favourite film I've seen thus far was I heart Huckabees. However, as mentioned, Life Aquatic has yet to hit my eyes. Given that Tenenbaums is my favourite movie ever, I'm highly looking forward to Wes Anderson's new movie.EDIT: Kill Bill 2 gets a special mention, even though it was released way early. A lot of people slagged this movie for its lack of action, but Michael Madsen and David Carradine *really* make up for it.I gotta say I'm shocked that Overated Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is doing so well with all of you, but, then again, I'm Captain picky when it comes to movies.

Rob Not Bob Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 EDIT: Kill Bill 2 gets a special mention, even though it was released way early. A lot of people slagged this movie for its lack of action, but Michael Madsen and David Carradine *really* make up for it. It was the second half of a movie ... if people had bothered to check, there was plenty of action in the first half And while Madsen and Carradine were both awesome, I'd like to give mad phat props to Michael Parks for his brilliant and underrated performance as Esteban Hidalgo in Kill Bill 2 (he also played the sherrif in the first movie).

shitidiot Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Napoleon Dynamite: Stay home and eat all the freakin' chips, Kip. Kip: Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

PalacePrincess Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 marcO, i think you would like elf. granted, i smoked a bit before watching it, but i freakin' LOVED that movie! it had me absolutely cackling with laughter through many parts of it, and the story is very, very sweet... as are many of the characters. it is a fun, silly, sweet christmas story. if you go into it expecting just that you will probably enjoy it. each to their own though.... eternal sunshine got a big "eh" from me. i didn't think it was a BAD movie... and i did enjoy watching it... but i thought it was just okay, not fantastic. i would buy elf over eternal sunshine in a second. kill bill 2 was probably my favourite movie of the year. i didn't see all that many new releases this year though.

CyberHippie Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I noticed someone had "Station Agent" on their list. Ended up watching this flick last night. While there were a few dramatic moments. I thought it was a great movie, and it was packed with lots of good laughs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
