The New World

Post by Sutter'sBeard »

Watched that festering 2+hour pile of wormy gorilla dung yesterday on-demand. IMDB gave it a 6.9. Felt kind of dirty and child molestery because the actor who played Pocahontas was 15 at the time of filming and well, she's pretty hot.

I watched this a few weeks ago. Overall I enjoyed it, and yes, Pocahontas was hot.

Visually it was pretty good, I just expected a little more. I'm not against a love story now and then but this one just never convinced me. I also found it a little funny that you have this pretty long haired Colin Farrell and a bunch of rotten toothed Brits.

Yeah, the same goes for Christian Bale. Once I got over the frustration that all Terrence Malick films cause I started to enjoy it.

I'm a huge sucker for historical re-creation films though, and an even bigger fan of early new world exploration narratives, so I gave the film a whole lot of leeway. Big stretches of it were pretty boring.

I just watched Rambo, which was a rockin' good time. Terrence Malick is an annoying/indulgent director.
