Typical Kermode fence sitting.New Year's Eve
Just awful.
I'll leave it to Mark Kermode to sum up : "like something you would sick up after having eaten all the nasty consumerist porn of Christmas, this is like the vomit furball at the end of it".

Of course it's unfeasible, it wasn't supposed to be an Oscar winning piece of serious cinema.Space Cowboys
Dear oh dear.
Unfeasible story about fossilised wannabe astronauts Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland being sent into space to save the world.

I also think it has similarities to Black Swan. A lot of people didn't like that because of the lack of background to the characters' pasts. The same is true in Shame and the direction is similarly high-impact with main characters who are very troubled emotionally. I loved both films; Shame is highly original in terms of subject matter and intensely involving for the viewer, although I feel, like you say, that many will hate it.Black Swan - now this is a film you're either going to love or hate. /QUOTE]
" Shame "
And so, I suspect, is this. Though, having said that, I neither loved nor hated it but was certainly mightily impressed by the acting and filming. It is about a man who is obsessed by sex, can' t stop thinking about it or doing it, but who is completely unhappy and empty at the same time.

True, but films can be unfeasible but enjoyable. IMHO Space Cowboys isn't!Of course it's unfeasible, it wasn't supposed to be an Oscar winning piece of serious cinema.
