Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread
I liked Haywire quite a bit (it's in my favorite genre, "arthouse badass"). Loved the long-take no-bullshit fight scenes, the one with Fassbender is outstanding. Carano had some weak moments, but I think she'll grow into the acting thing (she's no worse than JCVD in his older stuff).
Chronicle is outstanding in my opinion, I think the movie captures modern day high school much better than pretty much any movie I've seen, I love that there's scenes where characters are chatting while all of them are just sitting around on their cell-phones texting/browsing. If I have regrets, it's that I wish that they had gone District 9 style and abandoned the found footage angle for the end movie battle, though I understand that this helped them keep their budget down (12 mil?!!!).
