It's Pixar. Have they ever had a fully believable movie? XDVoyde wrote:Me and my fam just watched 'Up'. It was a touching flick, but extremely...unbelievable. And that my friends, is an understatement.
Paris, je t'aime
Hmm. Well, when you have so many different directors and actors, you really can't pin down the whole movie with one rating. Some of the 10-minute-long shorts were just miserable (such as the Elijah Wood vampire romance segment), and some were quite good. I wouldn't know if it really captured the spirit of Paris, but you definitely got a taste of the various cultures in the city.
Overall... it's only worth it if you know which segments to skip. Otherwise you'll just be sitting through a bunch of mediocre pieces, waiting for something that's actually good.
The Hire
This is once again a movie made up of segments lasting roughly 10 minutes. BMW came up with this revolutionary idea to actually make some interesting, story-driven commercials with characters that you come to care about. There are 8 shorts, all starring Clive Owen as The Driver. With each segment comes a new director and new actors. You've got John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-Wai, Guy Ritchie, Alejandro González Iñárritu, John Woo, Joe Carnahan, and Tony Scott directing. Even David Fincher produced for part of the series.
I really, really enjoyed this series. If you're into action and car chases, you're going to love it. If you're into character drama, you're also going to love it. It appeals to both sides of the spectrum. Look it up on YouTube and I doubt you'll be disappointed.
A+
