So far, the only 3 that shock me at all are Thomas Crown Affair, Blood Diamond and Wolfman remake. Not because they are horrible movies they aren't (except for Wolfman the remake) just that those are not movies people generally consider to be in anyone's favorite category. Not judging anyone though, just was shocking to me.
The story was silly, the effects were meh, Bencio whom I normally like came across as bored, Anthony Hopkins was Anthony Hopkins....again....overall just blah. The original was waaaaaaaaaay better and more intelligent.
To each their own I guess. While I love the original also, you want a great example of overacting look no further than Lon Chaney Jr. I don't see how you thought the effects were meh (hate that ****ing emo hipster word) when the orginal was grab, fake neck bite, drop. This one showed the brutality a werewolf should have. Agree to disagree.
I like heist movies. I considered Ocean's 11 as well in that spot. That one a Thomas Crown are just among those movies that I go back and watch periodically. The sex scene with Rene Russo is what put that one over Oceans for me. The one I didn't have a spot for that is one of my all-time favorites and hasn't been mentioned is Grosse Point Blank.
Fair enough. I love good heist movies as well, and TCA was a very good one. It just not typical "favorites" material is all.
