Right, it's time for this *near dead* forum to wake up a bit. So how about a "game"?
This "game" involves people (you!), to give two (two!)points of view (opinion!). One point involves a film you've seen, and heartily recommend (preferably one you think others may not have seen, but don't worry about this too much pls, i don't care about some random film from Equatorial Guinea
), and the other point is about a film you've seen and think it's the biggest waste of time, ever. Yup, an underrated film and an overrated film, and why.
Here's the rules:
1: No slagging off one's opinion, however, healthy debate is encouraged
2: You may make more than one recommendation or anti-recommendation per post, and you may post more than once
3: Mark your spoilers, biznitches!
Underrated:
Punch Drunk Love - This was a film i hadn't heard of, until a friend of mine pointed it out to me. I thought Adam Sandler's acting was the finest of his career, and portrayed a somewhat troubled man brilliantly. There's symbolism everywhere in this film, and a closer look at the film brings up all sorts of possible interpretations. I found it quite an intriguing experience actually, as well as being able to relate to Adam's character.
Overrated:
The Others - I really didn't like this film, and i'm glad i didn't go out of my way to see it. Utterly predictable, and it's not helped by Nicole Kidman's incredibly bad over-acting (Why is she an A-list Hollywood actor? :/). This film tried far too hard in using atmosphere (which i thought it did quite badly) and darkness to add tension. The two children only got on my nerves, and i couldn't care less for their fortunes.
