Last Thursday, our Space was graced with a pair of the best eyes in the business
- Jimmy ('only my mother calls me James') Colton
- photo editor for Sports Illustrated. Jimmy prepped us for his presentation by informing us that during the Olympics his job entailed reviewing 319,000 unedited images to narrow down to 70. That's right: 319,000>70. Crazy, right? Then he showed us the 70 or so images
- and he proved his point! When we first met Jimmy at our SPORT opening, he told a wonderful story about how he sees his work as digging for the jewel in the lightbox. Jimmy showed us how SI became the source of the 'photo finish' for the famous Phelps 100m race. In this case the jewel was not too hard to find. Each of his presentations were impeccably produced and superbly scored. The Olympics, Super Bowl, and my favorite, the Ooohs and Ahhhs reel. As is often the case, Jimmy's lecture was attended by some of our other IRIS Nights stars, on this occasion including Lucy Nicholson
...and Rick Rickman
...and Manuello (Manu) Paganelli
... Needless to say, after the lecture Jimmy was swarmed by appreciative guests. Many guests asked Jimmy to sign the complimentary issues of Sports Illustrated he brought along as lecture favors! Always the gentleman
- he was happy to oblige. Thank you Mr. Colton. The pleasure was ours!
Jimmy Colton takes 'making the cut' to a whole new level!

Jul 23, 2012The elements of magic realism and the realistic depiction of squalor and hardcore alcoholism don't mesh. The movie celebrates the filth and garbage in which the characters live, while siding with them them as they shun proper medical treatment and a working sanitation system. The depiction of so-called noble savages is condescending and offensive. I don't understand why this film is so loved. When I wasn't feeling disgusted, I was both bored and exasperated by what I was watching on screen. I knew I should have opted for Moonrise Kingdom.… Expand
Jun 27, 2012All I have to say is Give That Little Girl an Oscar. Her performance alone should be the reason why people need to see this film. She has a long career waiting for her.
Aug 7, 2012I expected a great deal from this film, based on all the rave reviews, but this movie just did not "grab" me. Hush Puppy (the little girl) was wonderful, but it was very difficult to really care about anybody else, including her father, because they mostly behaved badly, and were pretty much non-functional where their best interests were involved. The hand held camera, used throughout, really turned me off. I felt like I was in a rocking boat most of the time. If that was the director's intention, he succeeded in that regard, to the overall detriment to the film. The plot had holes in it, especially concerning the travels of the whole Bathtub group to different locations throughout the film, their methods were not satisfactorily explained, as if the director just could not be bothered. My recommendation to anyone who is interested, is to wait for the DVD. Then you can turn it off if you have the same reaction that I did.… Expand
Jun 28, 2012This movie is so good. Beasts is able to tackle so many huge issues - extreme poverty in America, environmental upheaval, family relations - without ever feeling obvious or didactic, because it has a light, poetic, surreal touch. The performances are all top notch, the music (also co-created by Zeitlin, apparently) is a powerful addition, and the story is deeply affecting. Zetlin takes so many artistic leaps with astounding confidence, and lands every one of them. Go see it.… Expand
Aug 10, 2012A metaphor for the cycle of life and coming to terms with our mortality, this film falls short and is not nearly as effective as it could be by portraying unsympathetic, self-destructive, frustrating characters.
Jul 11, 2012Beasts of the Southern Wild is in a club of one. One of the most unique films I have ever seen. With images of post-Katrina New Orleans, and the poverty of the Southern Wild, you would expect some high-nose social criticism, but you don't get any. The result is an honest narrative of beautiful simplicity. A coming-to-age story that uses no clichés as crutches, and tells the story that ultimately all of us will experience. Although I can't say I was enjoying it throughout, the ending, is one of the most moving sequences in cinema I have ever seen. With its powerful score and beautiful images, this film will leave you feeling fulfilled.… Expand
Jul 16, 2012I wanted to like this movie. The reviews I read were glowing: a reaffirmation of the Black family. A tale of wonder. A feisty "dandelion haired" 6 year old Black girl struggling against the destructive power of a consumer power oriented real world. A tale of an unconventional father's love. The story of a "true loving community". What I saw was an attempt to portray abject and total squalor as heroic. A community of total drunks and mental misfits holding out against what?... adequate food, a dry roof, and medical care? The line between real and fantasy is blurred in this movie, but it appears to show the girl and her child friends, eating shrimp and crabs thrown onto the floor as they grovel in the spent shellfish shells. I wanted to cheer for her anti-establishment living arrangment, but opted instead to call DFACS. There are a few poetic scenes- the girl romping through the meadow, the girl holding up to her ear living things to apparently hear what they are saying... I have always been a died in the wool anti-establishment type, and I appreciate the idea of alternative communities...but these people lived like pigs. There is nothing heroic, nor worth protecting about their lifestyle. If you relish the idea of a drunk, mental father, dying of some un-named disease, mentoring his 6 year old daughter to survive alone after his passing, by instilling in her the idea that she is strong and fearless, while living in a tideland, in a hovel made out of scraps of sheet metal, then you will love this movie. Otherwise, you will ask the ticket taker for the telephone number for the nearest child protection agency.… Expand
Nov 25, 2012Incredibly imaginative film making. Visually unique and dramatically resonant, a colorful blend of fantasy and poignant realism. The film's young lead actress is outstanding as are her scenes with her characters' father. Impossible to categorize, think Hayao Miyazaki in live action.
Jun 27, 2012What a touching film. It's excellent on many sensory levels, and Hush Puppy (the little girl) is pretty amazing as the film's focus. The music brings so much to it - probably more so than in any movie I've seen this year.
Aug 2, 2012I am a progressive liberal politically but this movie is a good reason why the far left is viewed as morally ambivalent. Let's show some poor Blacks and White Trash wallowing in misery and self destruction and let's say: "hey it's the systems fault.!, but that's O.K. cause we'll survive as cheerful mentally disturbed alcoholics in the wonderful culture of poverty " Oh yes and there's a cute little kid who is plucky and self sufficient in spite of all her travails. Then let's show their White rescuers as out of touch bureaucrats. Don't you go rescuing those beached whales they're doing just fine.… Expand
Jul 8, 2012A messy and sometimes excessive movie, but also a very powerful and affecting one. Part children's fantasy (a la Where the Wild Things Are), part social commentary (a la The Grapes of Wrath), and part anthropological study of an alien culture, it's also an almost archetypal story of (as corny as it sounds) the indominability of the human spirit, and in particular, that of the child. Quvenzhane Wallis may not be a great actress, but for a 5 year old she certainly has an uncanny screen presence and holds the disparate parts of the movie together (almost).. Some great visuals (e.g., the image of Hushpuppy holding sparklers in either hand) and an effective score make the movie a sensory pleasure as well as a triumph of story telling. Of course, I could have done without the "confrontation of the Aurochs" scene; but hey, it's a low budget, debut film by a promising independent film director. (Just think of how Spielberg and the Hollywood studios would have screwed it up!),… Expand
Jul 2, 2012Beasts of the Southern Wild is not only a wonderful film, but a surprisingly uplifting experience as a whole. Our main character, Hushpuppy, the 6-year old daughter of an alcoholic (and possibly leukemia affected) aggressive father, embarks on an imaginary adventure as a flood takes over her region of Louisiana, known as The Bathtub. Through her journey, she learns, from her friends, family, and nature, how to take care of herself, and eventually become "King of the Bathtub." The movie seamlessly and effortlessly delivers strong liberal messages about devastation, poverty, alcoholism, etc. But more importantly, the film introduces a new kind of heroine in live-action film: the small but strong female independent heroine, played astoundingly flawlessly by Wallis. The cinematography is beautiful and moving, the symbolism is pitch-perfect and never layered in excess (although may become confusing and redundant to the point of being unnecessary over time), the film never lags, and the score is remarkably beautiful, becoming one with the film (something that very rarely happens in small-budget films). This film is a must see for everyone who has a heart (be careful for teary moments, though).… Expand
Mar 8, 2013While there are a few great performances in this movie, I can't help but think of this as a poorly-framed message movie (Poor people have pride! "Normal" people are evil and don't understand!) that threw in "magic" in an effort to express wonder. The story effectively goes nowhere, yet allows those who want to sound erudite to expound greatly on the imagery and triumph of spirit contained within.
Feb 1, 2013Beasts of the Southern Wild is an unique movie, very different from what I have seen before. It is a very touching, heartbreaking and breathtaking film. To begin with we see that the stage is set on a poor and peasant village, where a little kid lives with her father, in the most precarious conditions. The interesting thing here is that this girl is discovering the world, learning how to survive. But she is frightened of the unknown things, which are for example living independently, detachment from the family, own survival, civilized humans, melting icecaps and storms; all these things are represented as strange and fantastic creatures that chase the protagonist. The problem is that Hushpuppy insists on trying to hold on the things she had sometime, that is why she is a mess without her father or likes to talk to a shirt pretending to be her absent mother. Another exciting topic is that the only thing that the protagonist knows for sure is that everything fits perfectly in the universe and has a natural course, so one change should lead to another. This turns out to be a very surprising movie and Quvenzhane Wallis did a dazzling performance, very uncommon for a girl of that age.… Expand
Jul 23, 2012I have never written a review but after seeing Beasts of the Souther Wild, felt compelled to write something. I am sure the cinephiles have heard the hype about the movie but to be clear it is totally justified. It is hard to describe as most say but the best way for me to describe it is a magical, lyrical and visually sumptuous film. The leading actress, Quvenzhane Wallis, who was only six years old when it was shot, is simply amazing in the role of Hushpuppy. Probably one of the best child performance I've ever seen. Academy, please give her the Oscar because I can tell you we will not see a performance like this very often. She completely owns this movie. Dwight Henry also another non-professional actor amazes in his performance. I understand this movie might not be for everyone but I suggest take ride and immerse yourself in the Bathtub because it is a very special film.… Expand
Jul 11, 2012Beasts of the Southern Wild is a difficult movie to review. Is it well done? Except for the horrible constant moving camera, yes. Images of the film will stick in your mind for a long time after the closing credits. Is it enjoyable? Well, I certainly enjoyed the spirit of Hush Puppy, the six year old played by Quvenzhané Wallis, who is cute as a button throughout. The way she is being raised by her alcoholic father is not pleasant to watch at all. Living in separate quarters by herself, poverty, alcoholism, illiteracy, death. It doesn't seem to phase her as it is the only life she has known. The film is a very slow paced slice of life. It's only about an hour and a half long but seemed longer to me due to the pacing. I was glad I saw it. I would give it a couple of points higher if I didn't have to put up with the constantly moving camera.… Expand
Jul 8, 2012Beasts of the Southern Wild is shot through the eyes of a six year old. To Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis), the islands of southern Louisiana are a magical place filled with lucky people who do not have to live like cowards behind the levees and only get one holiday a year. Hushpuppy's voiceover reveals the island folk rarely need an excuse to have a party or take another holiday. If this film were shot through the more perceptive eyes of an adult, the audience I bet would get a much different take on things. Extreme poverty, alcoholism, and child neglect are just the first few overt issues which come to mind. It was a very wise move for the filmmakers to stick with the child protagonist. Magical realism is far more acceptable and preferable to an audience than what could arguably be termed child cruelty.
Hushpuppy and her father, Wink (Dwight Henry), live in an area called 'The Bathtub'. It is not protected by the New Orleans levee system, people scuttle around from place to place by haphazardly crafted boats, and everyone expects that some day, the melting polar ice caps will submerge their homes and only the strong will survive. It turns out that some day in Beasts of the Southern Wild is now. When Hushpuppy first hears the thunder of the coming storm, she believes it to the be the sound of melting glaciers falling off of Antarctica. It is never mentioned by name; however, the storm appears to be Hurricane Katrina. Since the main part of her father's and his friends' days consist of drinking, there are no preparations for the coming calamity, just praise for the brave souls staying behind for what they claim will be a little wet weather and catcalls to those fleeing behind the levees. Where is mama in all of this? The idea of mama to Hushpuppy is and old, dirty basketball jersey she carries around with her and sometimes talks to. Every now and then, Hushpuppy thinks she sees mama when she glimpses a far away lighthouse or watches an approaching helicopter. Whether mama is dead or has just run off is another unexplained phenomenon kept by daddy.
After the storm, Hushpuppy and daddy float around in their make shift boat which is the back of an old pickup truck with a struggling outboard hanging on behind it. They meet up with a few other survivors who immediately start engaging in activities they do best, drinking. However, this was not your regular storm. The water is not receding, the animals, even the fish, are dying, and whatever sickness daddy had to start with is starting to pick up speed. Throughout the ensuing scenes to remedy their dreadful situation, Hushpuppy keeps the audience involved with her prescient voiceover. A notable example is her comparison of getting old and sick outside of the levee wall versus inside of it. Outside there is savagery; the young will eat the old and move on. Inside, they plug you into the wall (ventilators). Whenever daddy feels he has been a particularly lousy father, he teaches Hushpuppy to do something such as catch a catfish her bare hands and be sure to give it a good punch when she gets it into the boat. There is also an odd side story involving long extent carnivores called aurochs. They represent the savage beasts who kill and eat anything and everything. The allegory is not readily apparent and its payoff is understated at best. This description sounds starkly bleak, which the subject matter surely is, but the film is very well put together. The scenery looks like it would after biblical destruction, the actors appear to all be locals and have the accents to prove it, and the music is incorporated effectively. The very young actress playing Hushpuppy is phenomenal. Perhaps a few years from now she will realize just how deep her character is written and how only a very minority of child actors could have possible pulled it off. Her father, while not necessarily a sympathetic character, was well cast and while is not particularly an ignorant man, is certainly a man set in his ways determined his progeny will follow in the local footsteps. Having respect for and maintaining the traditions of your place of birth is one thing, but more than likely, Hushpuppy is being set up for a life of substance abuse and unsteady employment. However, that is jumping ahead. Beasts of the Southern Wild is about a very specific time and place with thoughts only of the next meal, not tomorrow, and definitely not next month. The camaraderie between our heroes and the locals is fun to watch and seeing how they make the best of a horrible situation is quite creative when you see it as Hushpuppy does. The film is certainly worthy of the word of mouth it is getting because audiences have really not seen anything like this before. It is winning awards for cinematography, but the hand held camera borders on annoying at times. See it for the story, the locations, and the child actor. You will tell your friends about it the next day.… Expand
Jul 15, 2012It Rocked
compared to everything else out there it was original from the get go
that alone gave it an 8
hushpuppy and her dear ole dad pushed it to a 9
read some of the back story about the director and "actors "it will add to your appreciation of this great movie
Dec 6, 2012After hearing so much buzz about this film, I am sad to say that I find this film very overrated. It's another movie where I find the director and the critics are making this the artsy film of the year but I find it all fartsy.
Jul 30, 2012What is it about me that makes it impossible for me to walk out on a movie that is boring me to tears? Why is it that I am unable to fall asleep in a movie that makes me nod off for a second? And, why oh why, do I get suckered into seeing movies 3 or 4 times a years that has
Dec 30, 2012This is quite a magical movie, with poetry all throughout the film, along with great lessons to be learned. The acting is also pretty good, considering that most of these actors have never had any experience acting in movies. One of the best movies of 2012, and definitely worth seeing.
Nov 27, 2012This is a film that is very hard to unwrap in a short, written review. There is a lot to engage you and ponder after, and in that regard I think this is a film that I will revisit and talk about many years down the road. I was surprised at how little of the fantasy that I have heard so much about made up very little of this film. I do think this is probably a good thing, this movie at its heart is about poverty. It paints a very painful picture of the people who live in this area called The Bathtub. There are many layers to both the characters in this film and their story arcs. I believe the performances to a person were solid if not spectacular. I am reluctant to say that this film looks amazing, because the world that the director builds is so dreary and depressing. However he conveys this perfectly and to me that means this film looks amazing. As with a lot of movies it seems that in the last half hour the director is unsure of how to end his story, so some things end up going on that may make you shrug a bit. The scene with our protagonist on a boat is probably my favorite in the entire film and since this is very close to the end I think the story did a decent job of giving us something to hold on to. This is a must see and it will be interesting to see where this film maker goes from here.… Expand
Aug 12, 2012This film is so fantastic and moving at the same time. The cinematography is amazing. The performances by Quvenzhané Wallis (Hushpuppy) and Dwight Henry (Wink) are spectacular. Their performances make the movie in my opinion. Everything about this movie is great and it's definitely a must-see.
Jul 28, 2012This movie is brilliant. Raising questions of our responsibility to our fellow man and to the planet we share, Beasts of the Southern Wild allows no easy answers. As her father dies of leukemia, a young girl must learn the spiritual strength to carry on living. Hushpuppy as she's called believes herself so attuned to the world and the animals she can hear them speak to her when she listens closely. She can do the same for people too, as she comforts a dying old man reassuring him with a kind word though he is in a coma and cannot respond. Facing life without her father, however, is too much and she sets out to find her mother.
Does she? Is the woman who comforts her and cooks fried alligator really her mother? Or is her wisdom and kindness the final lesson in Hushpuppy's growth? The characters of this film live in squalor, drinking constantly and eating things many of us wouldn't touch. Is it our duty to save them from this life when such salvation is unwanted, even a denial of their freedom? And if it is what freedoms do we allow that cannot be taken from us "for our own good?" And what duties, if any, do we have top the planet? Is it there for us to use without regard to the consequences, or are we transients living at nature's pleasure and only for so long as she sees fit? Are we the Aurochs, the unnatural beasts devouring their own? Or are we Hushpuppy? Do we have the courage to stand, admit we are a small part of a big universe and find value and meaning in that life?… Expand
Jul 30, 2012It's uncomfortable to watch for two reasons.
1. It's uncomfortable to watch black people acting out a white person's ideas. 2. This movie was one big fruit of a loom commercial.
3. Today it's quite easy to go and pick out some authenticity out of the sale rack at urban outfitters and maybe even american apparel if you're lucky. So try being a cowboy or a race car driver or make a movie about some village in west africa and how they love candy canes or deep in the south, in new orleans where black people are like mythical dolls, white people love playing with mythical dolls.… Expand
Aug 2, 2012Oh my God, this movie took my breath away! I consider myself a movie buff AND live in Louisiana (where I presume it was filmed) yet I knew nothing about it. About the closest thing I can compare it to is "Pan's Labrynth" but because of the subtexts that are all about what's happening in America in 2012, it's even better. I would not be the LEAST surprised if 8-year old Ms. Wallis is nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. The directing is magnificent. It's as though someone put a security camera inside a fisherman's shack and let the thing run for us to view. You and your friends must go.… Expand
Aug 6, 2012Every year there is a dozen or so smaller films that garner a large amount of hype. While these films usually end up being great, they don
Dec 14, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film transports you to a strange world plagued by some very serious problems: extreme poverty, alcoholism, lack of health care, child abuse... and then seemingly tries to convince you that all of that is ok, because it's HOME, you know? I fully expected that Hushpuppy, that poor, naive little girl, will gradually learn that all the adults around her are irresponsible idiots, but nope - they're the wise ones. This is essentially an escape fantasy for unhappy city-dwellers who dream of a simpler, fuller, more "real" life in some magic land where you can be one with nature and realize that every animal has a heartbeat and everything in the universe is connected. The last shot of a tribe of noble savages triumphantly returning to their swamp after escaping the evil clutches of civilization, with its unnatural hygiene and health care, is probably the worst thing I've seen in a film this year.… Expand
Nov 22, 2012What was truly spellbinding about this shocking and powerful film, at least for me, was the way it pulled me into a world which I knew nothing about. You don't just watch Beasts of the Southern Wild- you live it.
Jan 24, 2013I experienced BotSW as incorporating several themes without pushing a "message". Like viewing a painting, you can step back and see the whole thing and not try to justify or critique each stroke. Ugliness and chaos are juxtaposed with beauty and community. There is a sense that the characters are intensely holding on to their life in the "Bathtub", and yet the Beasts of Change and Death have been awakened, and the inevitability of their arrival is undeniable. Many viewers may not get past a feeling that the child, Hushpuppy, needs her life to be upgraded, that she lives in unacceptable conditions. The film emphasizes her adaptability and capacity for learning hard and simple truths about the nature of life on earth as she is living in a setting that does not shield children in all the ways we "civilized" people have come to expect. There is harshness from her father, for example, and yet his intense love for her is also apparent along with his desire that she be strong enough to deal with the realities of their life. "Everybody loses the thing that made them. It… Expand
Jan 7, 2013Granted, this is definitely a unique film but it's also a frustrating one. Quvenzhané Wallis is terrific as Hushpuppy as is Dwight Henry as her father, but the movie they are stuck with is an incoherent gumbo of poetic narration (the kind that Terrence Malick utilizes to far greater affect), symbolism and social commentary. In the end, it's difficult to tell what the movie is trying to say but that is not the same thing as ambiguity or complexity.… Expand
Feb 1, 2013Reminded me of Léolo but not nearly as good. And unlike Léolo, I am not really sure what the point is. That being said, the actors really perform well.
Jun 29, 2013It has been a long long time since a film made me cry and this one pulled it off despite my watching it on a screen in the back of the seat in front at 30,000 feet in the middle of the night. A moving glimpse into a world of poverty and stuggle that is (thankfully) alien to most of us.
Jan 10, 2013An extraordinary film, a cinematic miracle, a film that shows us a child's optimistically poetic view of life even in the hardest of conditions. You will be truly captivated by 7 year old Wallis, chosen ahead of 3,500 candidates to play the tiny folk hero who narrates and leads the story pitched between realism and fable and deservedly gets the youngest ever lead actress Oscar nod.
Aug 4, 2012When the film begins, the titular beasts seem to be the animals surrounding 6-year-old Hushpuppy. As it progresses, the definition expands in several ways. There's not really a plot here, more of a situation: she lives in an isolated bayou community with her father, but since it's told thru her eyes, everything takes on a dramatic and fanciful perspective. The remarkable performance by newcmer Quvenzhané Wallis has you alternating between wanting to comfort her and cheer her pluck. The film feels and looks low-budget (esp. the never-ending shaky camera), but there's a sophistication to the naiveté. This cinematic poem is charming, arresting and frustrating… Expand
Feb 23, 2013The film is good at its point, but to be sincere by what had read other critics expected more, or maybe I am the void, not it; I have to emphasize that Wallis is a girl with a pure talent that is shown in the final scene.
Jan 3, 2014so much beauty in this film. quvenzhane wallis has such an amazing presence and brings so much emotion into the story. this film is saying a lot and is expertly directed.
Aug 17, 2012A unique, heartwrenching story, Beasts of the Southern Wild is unlike anything I've ever seen. Quvenzhane Wallis gives a powerhouse performance, and I would love to see her name on the list of "Best Actress" nominess this Winter. I'd reccomend this to anyone who is looking to escape from the norm, and enjoy and interesting tale.
Apr 17, 2013It was absolutely the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced when I saw all of the rave reviews made by the critics and when I go to see it, it SUCKS. I couldn't even finish it. It was one of those movies where it tried to be so deep that it wasn't deep at all!!! I hated this movie with a burning passion. It was a movie about stupid people. That's it.
Jan 16, 2013The lead actress is talented, but not nearly as gifted in her performance as say, Kiki in, akilah and the bee. That whole hand held camera effect detracts substantially from what meager enjoyment there is to be had from this film. There is scant explanation as to why any group of people would remain doggedly committed to a life devoid of virtually anything resembling normalicy or a modicum of material pleasure, particularly when it exposes them to catastrophic weather in a predictable manner, repeatedly. Overall, though a noble attempt, it fails because of the gaps, disjointedness, and absurdities that abound. I could detect no overriding theme that conveyed anything of substance in this film.… Expand
Sep 1, 2014As strange as it is, it's a spectacular tale; told by a gifted young girl, Quvenzhane Wallis. Despite the spectacle, Beasts of the Souther Wild often forgets a purpose and becoming an unnecessary waste of your time.
Jan 11, 2013Beasts of the Southern Wild has some atrocious dialogue and seem to be slightly better when nobody spoke. Its is a film that doesn't let the powerful moments sink in and make any impact. The one thing it does have going for it is its powerful and excellent music.
Nov 23, 2013Probably the most boring 93 minutes of my life, not even great acting by Wallis can save this movie from disaster. It doesn't live up to the hype it got from the Academy Awards.
Mar 10, 2013This is yet again another art house film that thrives on being completely unique and distinctive from other movies, but lacks any gratifying elements that mainstream movies "sometimes" possess. It was boring and the storyline is unsettling.
Dec 30, 2012What a terrific movie. The creativity and imagination that is on display is just stunning. All the below the line stuff was so great. From the cinematography to the brilliant art direction. Still cannot believe this movie was made for only 1.8 million. Quvenzhane Wallis aka "Hushpuppy" is so incredible words won't do her justice. 10 out of 10 .
Jan 5, 2013A beautiful movie full of poetry and (somehow) optimism. Quvenzhane Wallis and Dwight Henry are superb and very moving. What could have been a boring documentary-like film turns out to be a real moment of elegance.
Nov 21, 2012Beasts of the Southern Wild was an unforgettable tale. Blending high drama and traces of fantasy, the movie is an allegory of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina; and it also highlights the power of community and change. After a devastating storm sinks a young girl's underdeveloped (yet happy) community, her ill fated father grooms her to become self sufficient and menacing, ancient creatures are thawed from the polar ice caps. The tumultuous relationship between Hushpuppy and her father Wink was extremely well executed, thanks to Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwight Henry's soulful performances. I found, first timer, Ben Zeitlin's manipulative direction to be quite effective in this emotional journey. Part of me wished the fantastical elements were much more heightened and the film itself wasn't such a downer; but any movie that's able hit someone on such an emotional level deserves much praise. It's also technically good; the deft sounds and pulses of nature are well mixed; and Zeitlin's (along with Dan Romer) score was quite an accomplishment. Beasts was a truly moving experience that should be taken in small doses; it's one of the years finest.… Expand
Jan 9, 2013I'll use it as a reference whenever i need to remember about the vast and overwhelming nobility a single movie can attain. In one of the strongest cinema years in my recent memory, Beasts of the southern wild stands as one of it's finest!
Dec 12, 2012Directed by Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild is an absolute treat to watch! We watch a lot of mainstream films everyday which are made by the people who we know so well, but it's surprising and inspirational at the same time, how unknown or very little known people can do something so big that it gets them all the recognition they deserve. First of all, Quvenzhané Wallis' performance is outstanding which becomes very clear from the fact that she has already won so many critics awards, she has a huge career waiting for her in the future. Her character Hushpuppy is a 6-year-old girl who lives with her father in a cut-off community called 'The Bathtub". Throughout the film, she learns how to take care of herself and people around her, how to be strong and what to do in difficult situations. Moving on to the plot of the film and the main storyline, it discusses a lot of topics such as poverty, survival, one's own imagination and most importantly family. Hats off to Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar (co-writer) for their strong vision and making it possible. This is Zeitlin's directional debut and the odds are in his favour this year, he has been getting a lot of appreciation lately. The film does not offer any shocking scenarios, but what it does is quite breathtaking especially the climax where Hushpuppy confronts the Aurochs which is wonderful and I can't get enough of it. Despite the fact that this is a slow-paced film, it is equally excellent and unique, I have never seen something so beautiful and well-crafted like this before.… Expand
Dec 29, 2012A fantastical, magic revelation of film that demands to be seen. This movie can't be classified beneath any mere genre, for it transcends them all and can only be described as a breathtaking work of art. I have seen it three times now (admittedly, it did not 'click' cohesively upon the first viewing) and I can proudly say that it is one of the best films of the year, if not one of the best of all time. The movie really captured me in the way it balanced realistic drama with fantasy elements, as if it were seen through the eyes of a child. The set design (apparently constructed by members of the cast and crew) appears thoroughly lived in and the visuals, while not dominating the narrative, are beautiful and seamless considering the budget constraints of independent features. The actors (all untrained and cast locally) capture a sense of community in this world known as 'The Bathtub' which takes the abstract elements of the movie and make them feel real. This film also marks the arrival of some very promising new talent. Never in my memory has the debut of any director been so ambitious, and equal parts fulfillled, as 'Beasts of the Southern Wild', crafted out of love by director Benh Zeitlin. His voice is a secular one, distinctive, yet clear in delivery and always well-intentioned. He wants nothing else than to envelop us in the medium of film as far as we can go and move us. And I can't leave out the fiery performance by young Quvenzhane Wallis. She is the burning life of this movie, portrayed so realistically that it is damn near unbelievable. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that she was only six years old upon filming. Wow. To describe it in comparison to other films, it is like a blend of Terrence Malick's 'The Tree of Life' and Hayao Miyazaki's 'Ponyo', with trace elements of 'Winter's Bone' and 'Precious' (both past Grand Jury Prize winners). Well, I can't really describe it any further without becoming redundant so I'll leave it at this: 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' is a magical, funny, and at times deeply moving experience that should be given the chance to challenge and inspire you.… Expand
Jul 25, 2013Although the acting in this film is superb the major downfall of this film is that it doesn't have a meaty enough plot. Although interesting and entertaining at the end of the movie you can't help but think to yourself that nothing really happened.
Nov 19, 2012I can't say enough good about this film: Visually brilliant, I love the metaphors, Great acting by Dwight Henry, Never seeks drama from the obvious places. It deals with real issues without getting too dark or heavy and ultimately has an optimistic message. The style might be compared to Terrence Malick's 'Tree of Life', but i'd say its a more accessible film.
Aug 4, 2012The reviewers who characterized this movie as glorifying dunks, squalor, and the like is correct. It's quite depressing with a minimal story line. The acting is minimal as well. You;ll find yourself squirming in your seat as I did. I forced myself to stay for 90 min, then walked out. totally unsatisfied with the intelligence of this movie.
Jan 24, 2013It manages to make good use of its post-Katrina locations and has a convincing performance from a child, but its defiant human spirit ethos feels twee and cartoonish, characters remain paper-thin, the narration is just a lot of homespun nonsense and many scenes feel aimless. If you are going to reformulate the experiences of survivors of Katrina into a magical realist fable you need to give characters a proper voice. The strength and defiance of real people, a spirit the director evidently wishes to capture and inspire with needs to find an expression beyond the vague narration, upbeat folksy music and simple lyricism that this film features. In fact, the film's simplicity is really best suited to a young audience - judged as a kid's film, it is an impressive feat for a first time film-maker.… Expand
Feb 16, 2013A terrible movie so boring and out of plot.Also clumsy at very best.This movie insulting the black people by indicating them as scavengers. People voted this move above 7 are depressed and sworn lossers.
Jan 11, 2013This could have been so much greater if it wasn't so full of itself. I'm all for ambition and pushing boundaries, but if you're going to do so...don't do so haphazardly. It's a shame because the characters and their situation is great story material, and the film is very well acted. But it's all intermingled with a heavy dose of metaphorical bullsh*t and artsy nonsense that, in my opinion, doesn't land. And it really stopped this movie from being gold. Sometimes, directors should just keep it simple. This is a good example of that in my humble opinion.… Expand
Nov 26, 2012I'm seeing some people struggle with the many peculiar yet delightful choices in this surprisingly solid film. The first thing any viewer should realize is that this film fights desperately to avoid cliche -- and succeeds. For instance, it's not always clear if the starring young lady is a girl. Most writer/directors would make the mistake of making her the sweetest little thing this side of sunshine. And her Dad the most endearing man you've ever met. I don't want to spoil, but as you'll learn -- that's not even close. The director does this (I believe) to avoid the dated liberal notion of angelic black folk in cinema -- a painful art house cliche. The movie must make a baker's dozen of such surprise choices -- including the lead's mother in spades.
Another choice in this film is presenting countless mysteries that aren't nice and neatly tied up. One is where our star lives in comparison to her Dad. We see it but we don't know why. In poor writing this is known as a loose end. In great writing -- as in BEASTS -- it captures our curiosity without being detrimental to the story. The resulting effect is a terribly realistic story where not everything ties up nice and neat with a bow -- like in the Hollywood movie world. Terribly realistic despite being a fable of sorts.
Speaking of fables, I've seen the preview for highly rated LIFE OF PI. I fear that everything that is raunchy and wonderful in BEASTS will be CGI glossed and Disney-fabled in PI. That is: PI may make viewers feel more comfortable -- but great movies aren't suppsed to be over-stuffed couches.
The mark of a great movie is if you can and will view it again at some point. BEASTS is one of those movies. It reminds me a little of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, even though it has little in common with it -- except for the totally 'fresh' feeling of the story and it's masterful execution. This may not be the year's best picture, but it would be crime to quality cinema if it wasn't nominated.… Expand
Jan 17, 2013rough, ready, yet magical! the storyline is endearing and harrowing and rather original; though there are slight references to winters bone. the screenplay and dialogue is spectacular and very well thought out! loved the 'Bath-tub' island; a reflection of the uneducated environment in which 'Hushpuppy' lives. Quvenzhane Wallis is unbelievable - her performance is honest, mature and beautiful. Behn Zetlin has true talent as a director and deserves the academy recognition. If you love honest art house films, you will love this.… Collapse
Jan 18, 2013Much like "The Impossible", "Beasts" views a natural disaster through the eyes of a small group of people. In that sense, it succeeds brilliantly - it is a film of amazing creativity and inspiration, capturing the lives of a forgotten tribe of people living on the edge of our society. Beautifully acted and expertly directed, "Beasts" is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. To criticize the film for its honest portrayal of a small group of people living on the fringe of society just isn't fair.… Expand
Sep 30, 2013It may get a little bit too meta and strange for its own good, but "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" certainly doesn't care as it delivers a thoughtfully verite style overlayed upon an unconventionally winsome story and environment.
Jan 12, 2013Poetic. The Oscars brought me to this film; I was curious to see this film after its 4 nominations, and still am after having watched the film. There are some brilliant elements on display here; the movie delves into some deep aspects of survival, family, home, and civilization. The film also features some intriguing imagery and symbolism, but those things combined didn't come together as I was led to believe. The film was not emotionally resonant at all (in my opinion). An ambitious directorial debut from Benh Zeitlin, but I do not understand the Oscar nominations (at all). I wasn't impressed by Quvenzhane Wallis's performance.… Expand
Dec 9, 2012An underlying unpleasentness pervades this overrated indie film. The praised grimy photography and central performances are also recipients of much praise which eludes me. I hated it!!
Dec 31, 2012what a disappointment. i totally agree w/all the low scored user reviews, esp w/the user who said this was a film where black people acted out a white person's ideas. extremely annoying: the intrusive music. i gave up about 45 min into it. once again suckered by ecstatic reviewers.
Jan 30, 2013One of the best movies of the year. It is very hard to watch because of the intense storytelling in the bathtub. The acting is phenomenal and all the parts of the movie come together in an enormous fashion that will be remembered as on of the best indies ever.
Jan 18, 2013Another well made movie directed at critics that ends up being boring as hell. 2.5 hrs of showing how people that enjoy squalor exist in squalor. Want that time back.
Jan 24, 2013Beasts of Southern Wild is a beautiful and inspiring piece of filmmaking, and made me our world in a completely new image. Nowadays our lives are so simple and easy, we have television, a government, and everything we need to survive in a society. But we watch the citizens of this small island called the "Bathtub" and it
Feb 9, 2013I was excited to see the movie, as I had heard so much about the magic of the film. I love quirky movies that attempt to tell a story via a road less traveled. I think Beasts of the Southern Wild made a brave attempt to present something fresh, and Quvenzhane Wallis as Hushpuppie is truly amazing giving a performance seldom seen at such a young age. When it came to the plot, I found it fell a little short, and I never fully grasped the metaphor of the beasts. I wanted to give the movie every opportunity to pull me into the story line, but I never was. I found the supporting characters less interesting than I had hoped. I felt as if I had watched a documentary on Louisiana poverty rather than the magical story promised. Still, I would rather sit through a movie that attempts to break the standards of stale cinema and have them fail, than sit through the same ol' same ol'.… Expand
Feb 11, 2013A masterpiece that came out of nowhere. Earthy, dense and fully formed mash up of New Orleans magic realism and Days of Heaven esque imagery. The film equivalent of The Band's debut "Music from the Big Pink"
A magnificent debut.
Jan 25, 2014I actually tried so hard to like this movie, but i couldn't.
i mean i don't get it, the whole nature thing and how people are proud by living these types of unhealthy dirty lives, the movie isn't good looking at it best, i mean i've seen movies about wild and nature and i actually liked it like "into the wild" but this one failed to deliver anything important, i didn't like the narrating, the story (if there was any) and i didn't like the view of the movie, it just didn't work at all for me and you might like it, but i didn't.… Expand
Jun 23, 2013This film was a waste of time. Why did it get good reviews? It was boring and there is no point watching that film. There is not purpose. The little girl impressed but the whole film was dull an unintresting The meaning was totally bad and the imaginary world messed me up. Not for Oscar this film of course. Don't watch it please
Jul 19, 2013A wonderful movie. The performance of the girl is wonderful from start to finish. she makes you feel in the story. for me this was coupled with Amour, the best movie of last year.
Aug 14, 2013For those who have written scathing, degrading, or demoralizing reviews, let me remind you that this is a film, not a testament for or against a certain lifestyle. Nor is it about poverty or being black. Like a lot of indie films, it attempts to reveal a truth, and it is the attempt that makes it noteworthy. I wouldn't say it's Oscar worthy, but it's a good Sunday afternoon by yourself film. The reason critics love it is because, unlike us, they know how to evaluate the definitive work. By the way, some of the negative reviews here are too defensive to be trusted. Some are like, "OMG, they are saying poverty stricken, addicted people are...human too. How dare they suggest that anything other than my white middle class/mainstream lifestyle leads to enlightenment!" Really? If you think Beasts is sending this message, you don't get it and that's okay. Everything isn't for everybody.… Expand
Sep 15, 2013This movie is beyond good. It has the magic the novels of García Márquez or Ben Okri have. The only thing I can add is that it's one of the best movies I've watched in my entire life.
Enjoy it.
Sep 4, 2014You like it or you don't, this movie isn't for everyone. Personally I loved it and I love the "hidden" message.
The first few minutes I wondered what the hell I was watching - it all seemed rather weird, but it got better and better. I cried like a baby when the movie ended; it was so touching and I have no idea why.
Beasts of the Southern Wild is a vividly poetic and maybe even therapeutic response to one of the most painful and mortifying episodes in modern American history, second only to 9/11.
Beautiful, funny, timely and tender, this is the American arthouse movie of the year.
Oct 1, 2012Despite its hard-scrabble setting, eco-gloominess and dystopian story, this dark fairytale is engagingly vivid and life-affirming. An ambitious love letter to a Louisiana way of life that's being literally washed away.

Honestly... i rolled a dwarf with a red beard because that's what Cartman had... that south park episode, along with some friends who played, were what got me started back during patch 1.7ish??
I play alliance. The reason for it is cosmetic as i just don't like how the horde looks(with the exception of Orcs ofc). I just like the alliance look better, simple as that.
The community/maturity is pretty much the same on both sides, i know some people claim the faction they're not playing is alot more immature etc but this is probably just due to the fact that within their own faction they play with a group of people that suits them and ignores the immature/ idiots. But if you roll a new char on the other faction you'll have to start getting to know people again from scratch(and sorting out the jerks and aholes again).
Honestly... i rolled a dwarf with a red beard because that's what Cartman had... that south park episode, along with some friends who played, were what got me started back during patch 1.7ish??
I play Alliance because I've always sided with the Alliance in previous games. I have nothing against most of the Horde and have played Horde toons before, but I am starting to hate the Forsaken with a passion. The blood elves are almost as bad, but they at least have a shot at redemption in my eyes.
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
I play Horde (Tauren) mainly for lore reasons, I think that 'til Cataclysm, Thrall (together with Cairne) has been the only leader who was really trying to achieve peace and really thinking about his actions.
That's why I really hate the thought of having Garrosh as the new leader...
I play both. My main(s) are horde, because that's what our friends were playing when we started playing. The friends we made on our server keep us there. I have ally toons on other servers. And play them to get away.
I'm an alt-oholic. I'm ok with that.
This is a question i have asked many people recently, as I'm very new to the game (OK.. i just started ...level 1)
My Fiance and friends all are Alliance.So i decided to do the same.
But i have now created a Blood Elf, and find it more interesting, everyone thinks Horde is evil full stop!
I'm capable of doing good things though..i promise.
For the Horde!
At this point in the game, I view the allies as more of the bad guys, Varion is all about trying to exterminate the horde from azeroth, and Thrall just wants to live in peace.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
For the Alliance!
The trouble with the Horde is it's a hodgepodge of races basically united under one charismatic leader. Thrall is certainly a great guy, but he lacks a long term purpose for the continued existence of the Horde. All Horde races have their own, unique goals and the only reason they are Horde is the divided we fall bit. Of the Horde races only two have what resembles strong leadership and are able to look after their own matters. That's the Tauren and the Orks. You don't have to worry about them, they will be fine. But the Forsaken, the Darkspear and the Bloodelves are a completely different matter. The Horde will fall apart if they don't plan for the time after Thrall RIGHT NOW.
If the Wrathgate incident(something that was brewing for YEARS right under the nose of Sylvannas while Thrall watched on) tought us anything then it's that the Horde is a menace. IF they simply wanted a home of their own then that would be something that could have been worked out. Durotar for the Orks? Sure, they earned it. Mulgore for the Tauren? Definitely. Lordearon for the Forsaken? Well, they used to live there. Same goes for the Bloodelves. And the Darkspear definitely need a place to call home. Trouble is the Horde is expanding and it is unknown to what purpose.
So I'm with Varian. IF the Horde had a proper strukture, a common purpose and good secure leadership then you'd have somebody to negotiate with. You could speak to the racial leaders, but it's the Horde who is expanding. They are at their worst when together and are something that could blow up any time soon. If there is going to be a conflict then it better be on our terms.
I shall personally fertilize the forrests of Ashenvale with the blood of those who dared to hurt the sacred woods. Your destructiveness is not welcome.
For the Alliance!

And Business is Good!" in 1985 and its major-label release, "Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying?" on Capitol Records in 1986, Megadeth has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and earned 11 Grammy nominations."

A vulvectomy is done to remove the vulva or parts of it. The vulva is made up of the genital structures located on the outside of a female's body. These structures are the clitoris, labia majora, and labia minora.

Some online stores offer a free monogram with a bathrobe purchase. Consider taking them up on the offer. A quality bathrobe is an excellent purchase, but monogrammed robes make great gifts too.
Two opportunities that are suitable for this type of gift are weddings and anniversaries. If you're stuck on the perfect gift to give to a newlywed couple, consider putting a monogram on a bathrobe for each of them.
Choose a quality robe in bamboo, supima or terry kimono, for examples. If you know the color of the couple's bathroom, pick robes that will match this color, because many people opt to hang their robes in the bathroom in plain view. Otherwise, consider white as the color for the robes. White is reminiscent of luxurious hotel robes.
You can have lots of fun deciding on the monogram, because there are a number of options to choose from for the words and style. You can go for the traditional "His" and "Hers". Or, try putting the first name of each member of the couple on the robes.
Monogrammed robes are also terrific gifts for an anniversary present, especially the second anniversary, because "something cotton" is the custom. A supima cotton robe, for example, is the ultimate in luxury and will last for many years to come.
There are other occasions when monogrammed bathrobes are perfect. How about giving one to an employee for a job well done? A new mom would love a luxurious bathrobe with monogram. Motherhood is hard work, and a new mom would love the treat. Finally, a monogrammed bathrobe is a delightful gift for yourself.

Everyone enjoys a good meal now and then. Of course who wouldn't enjoy their culinary delights when you've got a girl like Sofie joining you?
Taking a little timeout to re-charge from a long day of shooting with Petter Hegre, Sofie heads on over to the kitchen for a mid-day snack. Already feeling hyper sensual from posing for the camera, Sofie decided she didn't want this to be just any meal, but instead a lunch time party Hegre style!
You might want to wait and watch this film during your lunch hour. Even that dry cheese sandwich you brought in a paper bag will seem like a rare delicacy when Sofie sits down at your table.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
I reviewed the shades on-line, but wanted to finalize the order with a cust. rep. He was very helpful & knowledgeable. The shade arrived when expected & the installation (by husband) went fine. We are enjoying the
view while the sun is filtered. I will surely order from Select Blinds again! Thank you for a great product & great service.
I recently moved into a new home, and had bought sheer blinds from a decorator in our former home. These are the same quality - and about half the price.
My husband just installed the blinds in our vacation home. We both love them. They are beautiful and look exactly like the much more expensive decorator store blinds we have in our home (Hunter Douglas). I was very nervous about ordering blinds online, but the blinds were perfect and we will order again.
The light filtering worked better for our large sunny window than anticipated. I was a little disappointed with the "hardware" to keep the cord out of reach of children. There were no pictures or instructions, but we figured it out. The long cord still makes me nervous with toddlers.
Recommended select blinds to a friend, she loved mine!
3" Sheer Light Filtering Shades combine the light control of a horizontal blind with the beauty of a fabric shade. The 3" vanes allow for a more unobstructed view to the outside. Our collection of 3" Sheer Light Filtering Shades are custom crafted from knitted polyester for a delicate look and feel, and are available in 10 designer colors. Additionally, each shade is evenly weighted at the bottom for a perfect fabric drop. When raised, the fabric vanes will be concealed by the white headrail with fabric coordinated insert. Motorization is available for those tall hard to reach windows which fully operates the shades with radio frequency technology. The new Cordless Motorized Wand comes in handy for those easy to reach windows. As with all of our products, the 3" Sheer Light Filtering Shades come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Job market and employment opportunities in international comparison
A well-functioning labor market is critical for ensuring robust economic growth that not only creates more jobs, but high-quality ones as well. Just as critically, it also ensures that workers can find gainful employment and thus participate fully in society. Through its publications, the Bertelsmann Stiftung's Benchmarking Germany project is advancing the discussion on how economic, employment and social policies must interact in order to eliminate current imbalances in the labor market and better integrate workers into it.
Almost 10 years after the project's initial assessment of the situation in 2001 and five years after the project's last evaluation in 2004, the time has come for a new, comprehensive study on how Germany's labor market compares internationally with its peers. Such an undertaking is particularly timely given that employment opportunities both within Germany and abroad have changed in a number of fundamental ways since the beginning of the decade -- albeit particularly in Germany. On the one hand, background conditions governing the job market have been transformed in light of policymaking decisions in the areas of labor and social policy, as is particularly evident in the combined Hartz and Agenda 2010 reforms. The result has been both increased demands placed on recipients of social-assistance benefits and more flexible work contracts. On the other hand, the ground rules for negotiating wage agreements have also changed, as have basic industry structures and employer-worker relationships. Not only have non-traditional job opportunities become increasingly widespread, workers in conventional full-time positions have also been accorded greater leeway, thanks to flexible working times and innovative compensation plans.
Between November 2009 and March 2010, the Benchmarking Germany project will release four studies comparing Germany's job market with conditions in other countries. The studies will examine traditional and innovative forms of employment, as well as the various stages workers now pass through in the course of their professional careers.
The studies will identify good practices and assess strengths and weaknesses, with an eye towards making today's beleaguered job market more robust and future-ready.

All three are fine, play which class you find more enjoyable to play.
Alright so here is my dilemma, I like tanking. I have a paladin, a warrior, and a Death Knight all tanking specs. My problem is that my paladin and warrior are both 85 with similar gear but my warrior just seems so much more squishy, with less than amazing CDs. My Death Knight on the other hand is only 83 and from what I've seen so far on my 85s is that its all about reducing damage and I don't think I can do that very well without a shield. So I have 3 options here each with perks and dislikes...
Personally I have played a paladin for so long that its gotten too boring for me, but my warrior seems so much more squishy, and my dk isnt 85 to test out yet.
So my question is from a stat point of view, assuming equal skill and gear, who has a better time surviving any given situation in a Heroic or a raid, DK or Warrior?
All three are fine, play which class you find more enjoyable to play.
Well I know to play whats enjoyable. However I enjoy not dying, and being useful+good at what I do. Unfortunately my warrior just seems to be... bleh compared to my paladin and I can't comment on my DK yet as its not 85. Some insight on the DK from a lvl 85 would help a lot too.
If your warriors is worse than your pally you are skill capped. You just plain and simply arent good enough to play a warrior. Learn to time your Shield block better and go to town.
My warrior is badly geared and easily tanks all heroics With no CC.
I play all 4 tanks and the biggest issue I have with DK is the overcomplicated resource system. It makes reacting to surprise changes very clunky, whereas on the warrior the response is very fluid - you have an answer to anything; you just need to be a good enough player to recognise the opportunity.
On the DK I find my challenge is the iterative visits to encounters, as I learn them better I can make them more predictable and plan out my resource usage in advance which leads to very powerful play.
If you're a min-maxer then DK is definitely the correct choice.
Scanning.... scanning.... BEEP BEEP BOOP TROLL DETECTED
Aaaaanyways, to answer the OP's question a bit:
As a healer who runs with not just guildies but also the occasional pug, I haven't noticed any huge difference between the tank classes. Perhaps it's more apparent later in the raid content, but I have yet to encounter much of a gap.
You're correct that Warriors have more traditional mitigation, but don't discount the power of a Death Knight's self-healing. Death Strike and its associated Mastery is a beast nowadays, and other self-healing tools like Rune Tap and Bloodworms are not slouches either.
I've heard from various people on various forums that each of the four tank classes is OP and needs a nerf. Really it boils down to which style fits you better. Personally I enjoy the self-healing aspect of the DK class, which is why my other 85 is a DK tank.
Oh yeah, and don't forget that you're too manly for CC. Make sure that your healer craps his pants on every pull, that's what it's all about! (sarcasm directed at goldenshowa)
Each tank has it own strengths and weaknesses.
I can't speak about Warrior and Druid tanks, but I have both a Pally and DK tank.
Between the Pally and DK tank, the Paladin is much "easier" to use, especially for "yawn" content, but a large part of it is the fact that the Paladin's mitigation and avoidance are pretty much consistent the entire fight. While the DK can breeze through fights like nothing (or have to struggle) with them, due to the new rune system (which I hate).
DKs mitigation is very dependent on Death Strike now, which means unlike Paladin Tanks (and from what I hear Warrior Tanks) they need to be hit and expertise capped so they can land those Death Strikes for a heal/bubble.

A favorite collection with an updated look. Deep purple amethyst briolette gemstones create the centerpieces of these jewel-toned styles. With accents of opal, apatite and amethyst, these designs have been created by designer Carolyn Pollack as bold, sophisticated accents for your evening looks.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
