So I was hesitating between this and Clouds of Sils Maria. Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/08/2014 10:31:08 PM

Which is pretty much as far apart as any two movies out in theaters at the same time can be - popcorn blockbuster vs a European arthouse movie that is meta even by arthouse standards (most of the plot focuses on rehearsals for a stage play).

I went for Clouds, which was very good, albeit even trickier (as in, not giving you all the answers directly, if not being downright enigmatic) than I had expected - and yet more proof, if we needed any, that Kristen Stewart is a fine actress, Twilight or no Twilight. Juliette Binoche is arguably the bigger surprise of the two, though. And the director actually got in a pretty good dig at superhero blockbusters by showing the pair of them going to see the superhero movie that made Chloƫ Grace Moretz' character's career, of which we see a clip in which he rather satirizes the genre - followed by a scene in which Stewart tries to defend the merit of the movie against Binoche's ruthless mocking and fits of laughter.

But yeah, as for Guardians, maybe next time.

Sounds a lot like Galaxy Quest - with the lighthearted, but not slapstick feel. - 28/07/2014 04:29:38 PM 1010 Views
A little maybe. It's less of a parody, though. - 29/07/2014 11:37:53 PM 1067 Views
