I agree. It was one of those movies to have an emotional ending where I was in tears.
Finally finished watching Amadeus (1984) after about a week from starting it. Incredibly good movie. The acting is amazing and the overall production design is astounding. Doesn’t look like an 80’s movie period piece at all. There’s something appropriately haunting about the whole movie, even when nothing sinister is happening.
I love Amadeus. Milos Forman is one of my favorite filmmakers because of it and Cuckoo’s Nest.
Tom Hulce is great as Mozart, but my favorite piece of acting comes from F. Murray Abraham as Salieri.
Ah, I love Amadeus. <3 My dad showed me it.
I completely agree! I also still need to see One Flew Over the Cucoo’s Nest.
Also, Mozart’s laugh. 
I just got back from watching Hugo!
ATTENTION FILM MAKERS. THIS IS HOW YOU USE 3D PROPERLY. NONE OF THIS ‘CONVERT IT A MONTH BEFORE RELEASE TO BOOST SALES’ NONSENSE, MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UTILISE THE TECHNOLOGY!
The past two fridays I’ve seen a movie the day it came out, and I plan to agin next week.
I saw the Lorax. Very colorful, a bit cheesy sometimes, but overall fantastic
Then I saw John Carter. Visually stunning, a bit confusing, but great eye candy.
And next week I want to see Jeff, Who Lives at Home. I like both Jason Segal and Ed Helms. Especially Ed. But he has a goatee in this movie, and he looks sooo much better without it!
Anyone like Wargames? It’s about this teen in the 80s who’s really good with compulters. He accidently hacks into a compulter and almost starts World War III. It’s preety good.
I saw J. Edgar last night; my dad decided to buy the bluray on a whim. Very uncharacteristic. 
Anyway, I LOVED it. It was really cool, and I just love movies about that time. I don’t really understand why this movie is bad. I don’t mean to sound stupid, but I’m lost on that.
I don’t think J. Edgar is bad, just that it failed to fulfill the hype it created.
Mainly, I think the script stumbled a little.
Anyway, I think the film is overall good, and I enjoyed it very much.
Oh, good. That’s relieving. Stupid rotten tomatoes, it confuses me so much sometimes. I really enjoyed that movie.
I’ve never especially liked Rotten Tomatoes’ means of ranking movies—if a movie has nothing but “pretty okay” reviews, it can reach 100% status. But if a movie is strongly loved by a lot of people than criticized by a select amount, it gets a lower percentage. 
True. It doesn’t really make much sense.
I don’t really care too much for RT anymore.
I rememeber when The Lion King 3D was released it’s score went down. That was just no fair.
I thought it was snubbed at the Oscars. I don’t think it was winning material, but I would of liked to see it of been nomianted for something.
Same happened with The Phantom Menace.
I don’t like 3D, but disliking a film because of that is stupid. If they don’t like the 3D thay shoudl watch it in 2D. It’s no reason to dislike if they liked it before.
The Rotten Tomatoes system isn’t that great in my opinion.
Rotten Tomatoes work and doesn’t work for me, in my opinion. What someone else said, the issue is that a movie may be pretty decent and get all-around solid reviews, and then it will get a ranking in the high 80s and 90s. See Arthur Christmas. I would put that movie more at 75%. 21 Jump Street has a 96% currently with 23 reviews. That’s, like, Pixar level!
And I don’t even pay attention to movies that were released before RT was around or at least a popular site. The ratings for older movies are atrocious! My Neighbor Totoro has a 90% rating, which is lower than Ponyo and Arrietty (ha!). But other than that, when I use the site to judge whether or not I want to see a new movie, it’s pretty accurate outside of the “overrated decent zone.”
Anyway, I saw Gus Van Sant’s Restless and I got a very student film meets Harold and Maude feel from it. I was kind of worried that it would be bad judging by reviews but I don’t regret watching it and I feel like I took something from it. Mia Wasikowska was easily the best thing in the film, along with the cinematography. I think the weaknesses of the film were some of the predictable script, slightly weak acting, and the use of a score in an otherwise depressing realism film (shouldn’t have had any! Sorry, Elfman). I usually like Van Sant’s films more than others do, so I’m not surprised that I thought this movie was okay. Funny though, I don’t like his most acclaimed films as much as others—Good Will Hunting was ultimately forgettable and “meh” for me.
