Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You Jane Eyre: ***1/2 (Reviews have been strong so far, praising both the performances and the direction)
Paul: **1/2 (Word-of-mouth from overseas seems to be that this has its moments, but it doesn't measure up to Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz) Limitless: **1/2 (An interesting premise, but I have a feeling it will descend into disappointing thriller cliches) |

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You Hey Pedro, what's up with the best picture thread? I want to post predictions. By the way ed, if you win, you better make James review "Breathless" or "La Dolce Vita." I was cool with "Behind the Mask," but I'd much rather see a review for an overrated high-profile film.

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You JANE EYRE: 3.0
PAUL: 3.0 LIMITLESS: 3.0
Indeed. Jane Eyre looks like the best of these and imho has an outside chance at 3.5 stars. Paul and Limitless are big question marks, but I've heard at least one favourable Paul post on the forum and Limitless is directed by Neil "The Illusionist" Burger.
I honestly have no clue what review I'd ask for. I hear Salo is pretty decent and the review should be fun. I wonder if JB is cool with a re-review. He's underrated Robin Hood: Men in Tights... |

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You Limitless looks kinda cliched to me :\ It's also wildly scientifically fallacious.

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You
I know. The "you only use a small percentage of your brain" myth/urban legend has been well debunked by now. I winced when I heard a pharmacist rep stated that outloud. It really annoys me when Hollywood has experts cites commonly held misconceptions like that. Can't the writers do a little research every once in awhile?  -Jeremy |

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You
I couldn't care less if it's been debunked, it still has to the potential to be an interesting film. |

Re: ROUND SEVEN: I Kill You Jane Eyre *** James has always had a soft spot for these literary adaptations and period pieces and this one should be at least solid and it's the sophomore feature of the man who gave the superior dramatic thriller Sin Nombre
Paul **1/2 Looks like it might have its moments but uneven on the balance and more than a small step down from Mottola's previous film, Adventureland Limitless **1/2 Intriguing ideas but as we all know, strong ideas don't necessarily lead to strong execution... |
