Dark Shadows (2012)
A complete and utter catastrophe. One of the laziest pieces of storytelling and writing I've seen in a long time. It's basically an incomprehensible mess from about 10 minutes in, on narrative, tonal, and thematic levels. Burton's absolute nadir, and I include Planet of the Apes in that. Beautifully...

Joss Whedon's Comment on TDK
That's elaborate, self-effacing trolling, and not really worth biting (would have thought that Downey could have been more mature, but his egocentricity and his tendency to be an insufferable smart alec shines through), but if you can't even process TDK on a base level you're pretty much just a gard...

Joss Whedon's Comment on TDK
Whedon's ignorance and lack of basic understanding on this front is of no surprise. How anyone can watch TDK and not grasp that this is Bruce's/Batman's story is a bit beyond me. Actually, I envy those who haven't been able to see that yet, since they're yet to actually appreciate what is a truly br...

Some people really underestimate how well written TDK is.
The dialogue and delivery of those second-tier characters is less campy/comic-booky and more theatrical. There seem to be a lot of theatrical aspects to TDK, almost a perfect mix between those elements, a comic book structure, and highly cinematic aspects as well. Also, I'd disagree that this is a h...

Who do you think are the 5 most overrated film directors
Scorsese can only really do mob films. That is so wrong. Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, The Aviator, Shutter Island, Hugo, Cape Fear, The Last Temptation of Christ. What on earth are you talking about? I'm using it as an example of what would also be a misguided generalisation. Which you...

What was the last movie you watched? III
Allen's most solid film in a long time, but still kinda a poor man's Purple Rose of Cairo. Anyone who loves Midnight in Paris should absolutely seek that out.

Who do you think are the 5 most overrated film directors
Wes Anderson - This guy is the definition of overrated. Notice that Wes Anderson's diversity is close to zero. This dude approached all his movies the same way. He has no idea what to do other than a satirical and cartoonish approach of comedy. If you can describe him in two words those would be ob...

Spielberg hasn't done anything groundbreaking in a long time? A.I. and Tintin alone break plenty of new ground.

Films with Great Atmosphere's
Not an obvious choice due to its jet-setting nature, but The Empire Strikes Back is drenched with atmosphere.
