Pretty Good, but ending not

I thought this film was pretty much what it was suppossed to be after the current crisis and following the original and the graphics were good too, but then the ending had to go all HOLLYWOOD, which is rare for Stone. I really thought the ending was just giving false hope after all the crap that went down, I mean c'mon, life is not like that for many Americans right now, Oh no, we lost all our money, well lets just throw a party then will what we got left and end it there. I dont think so!!!!!!!!!! So i took a star off for that. Otherwise great acting.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ex-ception-al

At first, it might not seem great, just confusing, but after a while and especially towards the end, it gets very suspenceful, and everything about this film will blow your mind, How does someone come up with an idea like this, Chris and Jonathan Nolan are geniuses!!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Classic Burton

I Loved the part when Alice is crawling and hopping on the heads that the Queen cut off and threw in her moat. Classic Burton. Woolverton did a great job with the script and created a compelling story with the timeless characters for 3D, and had a great parallel symbolism with Alice's fight for independence in dreams and life. Mia is the next great arthouse star, I can totally see it, she's smarter than people realize.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Imaginarium of Terry: Gilliam Tops Himself!!!

This is what Gilliam has been practicing his whole career for. A classic film but finally on the full scale production value that his films deserve. His other films are classics, but it always seemed he had to make up for in imagination what he lacked in financial backing. That isn't a bad thing, it makes you even more creative. His films are challenging and never got a full chance. The closest he came before was maybe with Brazil. With Imaginarium he has finally been given the chance to show us his full potential at putting his maximalist imagination on screen and he has made a classic. He also took the unfortunate situation of Ledger dying and turned it into an ingenius tool for making the film even more interesting. Thanks!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fellini on a Grander Scale
PostedOctober 28, 2008

This film is so interesting, I don't know how Kaufman does it, but he surprises and keeps it interesting with everyone of his films, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Human Nature, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Eternal Sunshine... and now Synecdoche, NY, which he finally directs. This film is like Fellini's 8 1/2 but more Metropolitan, self-indulgent, in the best sense, incestuous with it's story and characters, in the best sense, and on a grander scale. He also managed to get the best actors around. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
