Sundance: "Hounddog" Is A Dog; "The Nines" Scores High
Summary
Read on for some short reviews of films playing at Sundance: "Hounddog," starring Dakota Fanning, is a cliched stab at Southern Gothic with echoes of Faulkner, and "The Nines," starring Ryan Reynolds, is a trippy, thought-provoking meditation on the nature of creation. Back to Article

on Jan 23 2007 11:25 PM hey all they have to do is add in 15 minutes of Fanning going into a fantasy world and add some extra violence and gore, extra gun shot wounds to Hounddog and it will get a 97% RT rating! (Reply to this) |

on Jan 24 2007 06:50 AM The fact that Ryan Reynolds is referred to as having range makes me laugh. So are people upset because Dakota Fanning gets raped or because she gets raped in a bad movie? (Reply to this) |

on Jan 24 2007 08:29 AM In reply to this comment (#853901) [b]?[/b] I'm assuming this is a stab at Pan's Labyrinth? And if it is, how about you see the movie before bashing it? The movie is fantastic. (And if it isn't... then I have no idea what you're talking about) (Reply to this) |

on Jan 24 2007 09:27 AM In reply to this comment (#853905) [b]ok then[/b] Well it was either I assumed you never saw the movie and told you to see it first or I assumed you did and called you a retard. (because there is nothing wrong with the movie, it's fantastic) I chose the first option to be nice :) (Reply to this) |
on Jan 24 2007 10:11 AM I love a good movie that will take you on a nice trip, so The Nines sounds very interesting to me. Not to supprising that Hounddog isn't that great, I'm sure I'll still see it though. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 24 2007 12:58 PM As someone you as actually seen "Hounddog", I coundn't disagree with that one review. It's a dark, dark film about child abuse. It was damn impressive!! And as for the "cliched" comment, it's one of the dumber things I've heard about a movie playing here. Now, unbreakable_samurai, after one review you have made up your mind that "hounddog" "isn't that great". Get a mind of your own already. P.S. From what I heard when I was at Sundance, "The Nines" is average at best. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 25 2007 11:57 AM In reply to this comment (#853909) I just didn't think Hounddog sounded that great in the first place, that's why I was saying it didn't supprise me that it wasn't that well loved. And not just by one person, last I checked no one has bought it yet, which is never a good sign. I still plan on seeing it though, and I might end up loving it, I don't know. So I have my own damn mind, thank you very much. (Reply to this) |
