"JOHN Q" ~ Movie

[ATrain]

I'm really surprised that so many people on here seem to like that flick. If it works for you I'd say go with it.

It just didn't bring anything new to the table for me.

I also think Man on Fire was one of Washington's best. I didn't expect to like it but I thought it was dead on. Great film.

ATrain Reviewed by ATrain on 01-27-2007. "JOHN Q" ~ Movie Wow. Just saw it for the first time. Possibly the most powerful, emotional movie I've ever seen. Denzel is soo fucking good at what he does...unbelievable. Good acting all around. Why did he win an Oscar for Training Day (not saying he shouldn't have)..and not for this performance? This flick is real. No other way to put it. Break it down any way you want...but that shit hit hard. Let's just say I'm glad I watched it alone...and not in the theatre..and not with a girl LOL. Rating: 5

That was a good one too I agree. As for this one...whether or not you like the story or whatever..that is another thing. I'm more impressed with the emotion it made ME feel..which I usually don't get from any kind of movie. I was pissed then I was sad...then I was happy and back and forth...it kinda fucks with you lol.

That is usually the sign of a pretty damn good film I'd say. Maybe I saw it when I wasn't in the mood.

But you are right, whether the story is there or not, if it hits you on that deeper level you are getting something that a lot of recent films haven't delivered.

P.S. I saw your post Mac in the other thread where you managed to work John Q in again, nice work :rastasmoke:
