Help me flist, you're my only hope

[przed]

I've got an unexpected few hours free and am toying with seeing an early film after work. But as there's nothing in my list I'm dying to see, I'm suffering from chronic indecision.

So what do y'all think?

[Poll #1767039]

I'm leaning slightly towards Attack the Block, since the chances of it hanging around are considerably slimmer than for any of the other films, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

I'm glad to hear Ford finally gave a damn about his performance. I gave up on him shortly after Frantic, and that was, dear god, 1988. I actively rooted against him in the Jack Ryan role, especially when he went up against the Bean in Patriot Games. But yes, perhaps I can wait for C&A to show up on the movie network.

I wasn't particularly keen on Captain America, but the trailer looks like much more fun than I was expecting.

I have to say, the thick south London accents of Attack the Block are starting to sound good again.

The best reviews of C&A other than "cowboys and aliens blow up and that is awesome" is "omg, [the director] got Harrison Ford to care!" He does a pretty good job with what he's given, but unfortunately what everyone is given is...nothing. It's a script with 13 writers and only 5ish credited so...yeah, no one figured out how to make it work. They tried to mash "man of cool" with "man with no memory" and it fails because they're antithetical in approach and script/story needs.

CA is fun, but it's very...clean, I suppose. Not much darkness or depth and kind of shiny in its looks. But I like 1940s fashion and style and hey, I didn't have to pay for the ticket.

Is "Tree of Life" playing near you?

Tree of Life is playing here, and it's one I really want to see, but the times for it just don't work for me. (I have to do fun stuff afterwards like taking the car in for an oil change and packing up for a visit to my mom's, and the first Tree of Life screening I could get to doesn't end until after 11.)

I'm seriously tempted to go see The Trip, which is at a great time, and five minutes walk from my office, but I saw, and loved, it at the film fest last year and it seems a waste to take a rare visit to a theatre for a film I've already seen.

Yep, I'm still indecisive.

Ha, I am queen of indecisiveness as well.

I want to see "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" even though it's not as well-done as it could be, just for the femme!slash potential. I will make a fandom appear around it if I have to.

Ooh, "Life, Above All" is playing here! Want! Must see!
