Re: Official RedsZone Movie Thread (pt. III)
Has anyone seen "The Place Beyond The Pines" yet? Going this weekend. I think it will be good but I have some doubt mostly because of the tag line. "If you ride like lightning, you'll crash like thunder" Am I being ridiculous or does that sound really corny?

That's pretty corny but I don't think a movie's tagline has ever affected my opinion of the film.
Except Alien--that one makes it infinitely more perfect...

how was this I thought it looked good?
Re: Official RedsZone Movie Thread (pt. III)
Saw 42 last night and enjoyed it. I have pretty thick skin when it comes to profanity, but racial slurs really get under my skin.

I thought it was really good. I won't give anything away but made kind of a ballsy move with it and I think it worked.
Also I watched "Safety Not Guaranteed" this weekend, and I really enjoyed that.
And "Wish You Were Here" it was good as well.

Isn't it PG-13?

Yes, and most likely for the racial slurs, which really couldn't be left out all things considered.

My point was more that if it was to be an accurate depiction of the events that unfolded it would have necessitated an R rating...

Oh, so I saw it. My dude at FilmDrunk's review is pretty spot on:
http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2013/03/...like-that-much
Basically, I was watching it and kept thinking about how well made of a film it was, but I wasn't necessarily enjoying it to an equal extent. I had a similar reaction to The Master...

Yeah, I guess I went in kind of expecting that after Blue Valentine. I think BV is a great movie but I could never watch it again, Pines was a least more enjoyable than that. Oh and from that link, yeah I like Ben Mendleson in everything he's in.

The best scenes were easily when they had Gosling riding his motorcycle. The cinematography was excellent, I sat there in awe.
I wonder if Mendleson could carry a leading role? Have you seen Animal Kingdom?

You're probably on there, but I don't have a problem with toning it down just enough to make it marketable to a broader audience. The way it was done, I wouldn't have a problem with children viewing it. I saw a lot of families when I went and I was glad it was done in a way that entire families could go.
