It's the sort of movie that I gravitate toward, but all of them just left me feeling cold and detached.

'before midnight' hit me unexpectedly emotionally at the end. i like the performances in 'blue' quite a bit but found the film flat and overlong. 'white house down' was a bore and not enough shirtless channing.MrJefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657422824565425948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-84226191957186094892013-12-03T00:00:13.362-05:002013-12-03T00:00:13.362-05:00I feel like the Before Sunrise series is like &quo...I feel like the Before Sunrise series is like "The Notebook" for the thinking girl. Span it over three movies, make it all about talking about things, show how their relationship changes through the decades of time, and BAM! I'm in love. I don't know if either character is evolved as an individual to like them, but I like them as a couple. I like how we see them in a movie-romantic meet cute in Vienna, in a more dramatic "what the hell happened?" moment in Paris, and in a final, harrowing "ack I think I might fucking hate you" weekend in Greece. Are relationships worth it? Are they meant for each other? Or was it all a huge horrible fucking mistake? GAH! I ate it up.

In theory it was a fine movie but Ive gone out of my way to avoid people like that. So to spend an hour and a half with people that remind me of all the assholes Ive known and met in my life was complete torture. Although Greta Gerwig was kind of charming.. sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
