A Werewolf Boy - Neuk-dae-so-nyeon (2012) - IMDb
Watched this on Netflix...expected some horror, but turns out this is really a romance fairytale. This Korean film is probably geared more towards teenage girls - with that type of cartoonish, overacting by side characters...but it turns out to be a decent film that sucked me in never the less (only stopped it for one bathroom break)...and, did in fact, get me a bit misty at the end...lol.
Tower Heist (Brett Radner 2011)
I enjoyed this succession of cliches and one-dimensional ideas because Alan Alda gets humiliated and sent to prison. I don't like Alan Alda. I didn't like MASH, I don't like his Mush. I don't like his voice, or his smug self-satisfied persona. He is a creep. It is worth watching to see him in prison garb, long may it stay that way.
Frozen. Not bad
Harry Potter and the Deathly Shallows.
Next time i see her, I'm going to punch JK Rowling right in the cunt...She killed Dobby!
The Last Tycoon, a 1971 film adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's last unfinished novel directed by Elia Kazan. A stellar cast including Robert Di Niro, Robert Mitcham, Angelica Houston, Theresa Russell, Jack Nicholson, and many others. A screenplay by Harold Pinter that almost parodies his cliched pregnant pauses and the most wooden leading lady I have ever seen (the daughter of Roy Boulting) in her only major role ( surely favours were called in - she later became a yoga teacher in California) Dire and directionless.
Enter the Dragon
Game of Death
Didn't see the film or read the book, but according to IMDB it was 1976 not 1971 and for good measure someone on imdb rates it more than you do. As I am not a fan of Fitzgerald or Kazan, with a few exceptions, I will take your word for it. As for the leading lady, was that Tony Curtis?Quote:

De Niro was an unexpected surprise as Monroe Starr in this brilliant adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished last novel. He gives a thoughtful, sensitive, and intelligent performance as this character, who was modeled on MGM producer, Irving Thalberg. Fitzgerald wrote about Hollywood from the inside, and from the perspective of someone who was destroying himself by being inside. He could ask for nothing better than to have English playwright Harold Pinter create this stark, human screenplay and then have Elia Kazan realize it.
In addition to De Niro's definitive performance, we get a series of perfect cameos (usually an impossibility) from Tony Curtis, Jeanne Moreau, Robert Mitchum, and others. We also get two screen debuts of merit -- Angelica Huston (in a small, but memorable scene) and an excellent Teresa Russell as Starr's would-be sweetheart. The critics hated the movie, and it did poorly in box offices, but it was truly, like Fitzgerald himself, an American masterpiece.
That is where I stopped reading.Quote:
