Hard Candy

It seems like one of those great indie films thats able to pull a good story and impliment it with only a couple characters...
 
Holy Sh*t! That's all I have to say. This movie was freaking amazing. I basically loved everything about it. From the script to the acting to the filmmaking. Wow wow and wow again. This movie will become either a classic or, if not enough people see it, a cult classic. I can't really tell you anything more as if you choose to see it you should see it knowning as little as possible. The lead girl will go on to become one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Even though this is the worst time to release a movie for academy consideration, and that the academy frowns upon thrillers, I honestly think she might get a nomination. Go see this movie now!
 
i really want to see it. it looks very good. the girl that's in it is the new Kitty Pryde in X-Men The Last Stand. she plays a 14 year old in this movie and almost 20 in X-Men. All the reviews that I've heard have said that she's fantastic in Hard Candy. In fact that's the reason Brett Ratner hired her for X3. Anyway, ya it looks very good. Upon hearing C.G.'s review I'm even more interested in seeing it.
 
Ebert and Roeper gave it 2 thumbs up... but they said it was very disturbing subject matter and that they squirmed in their seats watching it....

yeah, from what i've read its like the end of Takashi Miike's Audition, extended over the duration of the film. men, in particular, will find the film's centerpiece disturbing.

anyone who doesn't mind having the whole film spoiled can read all the gory details here...

I just saw it today and thought it was one of the better films that I've seen recently. There were some points in the story where I was like, "Come on..." But for the most part it was really solid filmmaking and the look it had was really cool.

Hahaha, that was a good one cygnet74. It took me a moment to realize what was on the poster. I didn't know a DVXuser membership carried so much weight in the industry.
 
Teen Noir is in now. I've been writing one for sometime I 'm glad to see this and other films are getting big hits with people. I cant wait to see this and brick.
 
Brick is pretty awesome. I'm not sure what is noir about this movie, exactly, but I'm still excited to see it.
