What was the last movie you watched?

[AznAlice]

I just watched Disturbia, (http://imdb.com/title/tt0486822/)with Shia LeBeouf. It was good or ok I guess. He's a hottie I feel like a craddle robber!

[Pootytang]

23 and it was retarded.

[Big Gus]

Bad Boys and it sucked.

[faz]

Knocked up. And it was pretty good.

[Randetica]

just done with watching "the graduate" (dustin hoffman)

another movie the simpsons made fun of! just noticed it

[Bob]

just done with watching "the graduate" (dustin hoffman)

another movie the simpsons made fun of! just noticed it

the graduate is matt groening's favorite movie! i know that from the DVD commentary for the episode that i'm pretty sure you're talking about (the one where grandpa and marge's mother almost get married, right?)

anyway mine was hot fuzz. next is chinatown

[YoungRemy]

just saw Waitress, a nice little indy flick that received rave reviews at Sundance... it also received alot of hype because the writer/director/supporting star Adrienne Shelley was murdered in her NYC townhome before the release of what would have been her final film...

it lived up to the hype and stands on its own, however. I thoroughly enjoyed it...its about a small town waitress(Keri Russell) who is pregnant and fed up with her abusve husband, Earl... she dreams of becoming a gourmet pie chef, and her inventions look quite delicious as she dreams up the recipes throughout the film...

special appearances by Cheryl Hines, Shelley, and Andy Richter make it a really touching litle film...

[Drederick Tatum]

No Mercy for the Rude. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0856052/)

got a bit melodramatic at the end, but overall pretty good.

[Dorothy Wood]

Star Wars, but I didn't pay much attention after the trash compactor scene on account of someone trying to take my shirt off. then it was business time

[kaiser soze]

Dave Chappelle's Block Party and I thoroughly enjoyed it(y)

[TylerDurden]

Inland Empire.

For those who love dem some Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan bullshit, you need not apply.

This wasn't Top Form Lynch, but it was definitely worth the ride.

Aaaand that's where the review becomes invalid. Oh yeah, Metalpocalypse Season 1* and it was brutal.

*Tekken 5 also

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Deja Vu.

Good stuff, too.

[Otis Driftwood]

I watched "The other Side" and it was very good for a movie that says low-budget in every frame.

[Pootytang]

Inbred Redneck Alien Abduction. The cheeziest B movie I think I've ever sat thru.

[TAL]

V:Original miniseries
V:The Final Battle


That's 5 movies in a row.

[hpdrifter]

I watched the Good the Bad and the Ugly for the first time two days ago.

It was an awesome movie. Seriously, great story, great chemistry among the actors, no pandering bullshit, honest, very satisfying for the length.

I get what they mean when they say they don't make movies like that any more.

[Nuzzolese]

Bring it On

[Rock]

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Which is odd, because I knew it would make for a half decent movie on cable, but I shelled out the money to see it in theatre anyway. And I was wrong. It would have been a quarter decent movie on cable.

Last Movie I watched: Rocky 3

Last Movie I watched for the 1st time: Catch & Release. It was decent, for a chick flick.

I Heart Huckabees

I liked it for the most part, mainly because i was interested in the philosophy/existentialism/Buddhist bits.

Wahlberg steals the show in it.

[Randetica]

in the next few days i will see:

babel
perfume
deja vu

in an open air cinema (hope the weather doesnt suck)

and that all for free!

I saw Perfume the other night. It was oddly interesting. I have been a renter and moviegoer lately. I have seen the Simpsons movie and the Bourne Ultimatum at the theater this week.

I have rented Hot Fuzz, 300, Perfume, The Host and tonight I watched Disturbia. I liked Disturbia but when the confrontation occurred it got a bit corny. It was almost like the director thought-- I need to speed it up NOW and end it. I kept hearing that it was the modern day Rear Window. It is a pathetic comparison. I did enjoy the film and Shia was very good.....but Alfred Hitchcock, Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart....come on...pfft.

[Randetica]

just got back from seeing babel, what a lot of bull (n)(n)

a young boy wanking, close up japanese pussy on BIG SCREEN, chicken murdering, children shooting at cars, police shooting at children..

the pussy part was good but also unbelievable embarassing cause my mum was sitting right next to me

i could only see the middle part of the subtitles cause the heads of other people were in the way and i didnt see the end cause the movie was getting too silly and i needed to pee pretty badly anyway

i would be pretty pissed now if i had to pay for it though i still want my money back!

0/10


looking forward to 'perfume' it just can get better

[marsdaddy]

I saw Babel with my father-in-law, which made for some uncomfortable lack of conversation. You didn't miss much on the ending. I agree -- it was a load of (n)(n)

I saw the Bourne Ultimatum and the latest Die Hard. Both were pretty good, though I'm probably going to have to watch mostly actionless flicks for a while now.

[yolanda]

INTERVIEW written in part, directed by and starring Steve Buscemi, and Sienna Miller.

It was OK. It had its moments but overall it wasn't anything to write home about. If you're a SB fan (SB fans should definitely give it a shot) or want to watch Sienna Miller for a little while, you might just want to wait til it comes out on DVD.

[Schmeltz]

I saw The Bourne Ultimatum a couple of nights ago with my dad, brother, and uncle. It was exactly what I thought it would be, which I think made it a pretty fun movie, and makes me think I should pick up the first two for a lark.

I don't understand why people hate Babel so much. I thought it was alright. thought-provoking even. the mexican wedding stuff reminded me of my childhood.

and wheres the fun in feeling provokated? they didnt even give me the chance to beat the shit out of the screen, point Less..

well i thought only some real sick fucks would enjoy such a movie and i guess i was right :P

glad that many agree with me or i agree with them cause i hate it when i see some piece of shit and everyone is like omg best movie ever 10.000/10!

it's no opinion that it is shit IT'S A FACT in yo face!

*done*

[icy manipulator]

i finally got around to seeing Kurtlar Vadisi - Irak tonight. it was really good, even tho just about every review gave it a bad rap because of it's 'anti american' elements. it's not for the faint hearted. i apologise in advance to ericlee coz it gives soldiers like you a bit of bad rep

[trailerprincess]

I finally got around to seeing Requiem For A Dream this week. I thought it was very very good. Ellen Burstyn was brilliant and it was nice to see Marlon Wayans doing something serious. I loved the soundtrack. Yesterday I saw Leon for the zillionth time and tonight or tomorrow I shall watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

[Yeti]

I just watched The Lookout. It just came out on DVD and it was pretty good.

[DandyFop]

special appearances by Cheryl Hines, Shelley, and Andy Richter make it a really touching litle film...

I didn't realize that Adrienne Shelly played Dawn!! That's crazy. That was so sad...I remember everyone talking about that at Sundance last year.

I loved that film. It was really well-written. The only part I didn't feel was cast right was the husband, Jeremy Sisto. He just didn't seem right for it.

I'm guessing you meant Andy Griffith, not Richter, lolz...he was awesome too.

Anyway to answer the question for this thread I just watched the Godfather Part II last night for the first time (just saw the first one a few days ago). Good shit, of course!! It's so mind-blowing how much it must have cost. We had to take breaks because it was so intense.

[Junker]

Revolver.

And I liked it. A very strange but a very good film in my opinion.

[Junker]

I was pleasantly surprised by TMNT, I enjoyed it (y)

Yeah, me too. I thought it would be a crap but I really liked it.

[Bob]

i last watched salvador...that was great. james woods was at his james woodsiest, and even jim belushi couldn't make it suck

[TAL]

I'm glad you liked it. My reputation was hanging on it.

[Bob]

you better hope videodrome is good too

[TAL]

Oh it is, but in a very different way.

[DIGI]

Like anal?

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, I didn't understand any of that randy.

it's not like I loved the movie, it made me feel sad, but it did a good job of illustrating how disconnected, yet connected the world is.

I know a couple people who thought it sucked, but I still don't know why. I haven't heard a good explanation yet.

[hpdrifter]

Watched Zodiac the other night. Mark Ruffalo was incredible, outshone the whole cast. Including Jake, who is one of my favorites.

Why oh why does he not focus on this kind of thing instead of shit like 13 going on 30 or Just Like Heaven.

He is capable of such subtlety but he still seems to own every scene he's in.

And for not having much blood and gore, I was scared to go to sleep that night.

[Otis Driftwood]

I just watched "Out of the past". Old man Douglas and Mitchum, great noir movie. Funny, I like all movies that take place in or around Lake Tahoe...

[Randetica]

it's just filled up with stuff no (normal) person wants to see besides brad pitt

it's annoying when people swallow their glasses and be all like "ohhh the movie was so deep and intellectual!" and why? only cause the film is "different" ?! like they understood shit!

and what? best movie of 2006 :confused:

maybe you would dislike it more if your mother was sitting right next to you, i could barely look at the screen anymore haha

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Fracture

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Anthony Hopkins is one of the finest actors to grace the silver screen....

[Bob]

i watched the seven samurai

it was good i guess but it was a little long. i started drinking a little before i started the movie, and then i was drunk before i finished. i probably missed some stuff

[AznAlice]

They released John Woo's Hard Boiled on dvd, but what I really wanted to see was The Killer that's on a list. I'm too lazy to scroll this whole thread I gonna reply to all the movies ppl mention that was interested in that was mentioned...nm...

I saw The Lookout, it was good worth a rental but not worth buying I don't think.

I will be watching Inland Empire by David Lynch next...

[AznAlice]

Finally saw Inland Empire (http://imdb.com/title/tt0460829/), Laura Dern great actress. If you never saw a movie by David Lynch you'd probably either get bored as hell and turn it off.. As expected it was hard to follow but I continued to watch it even as I was so tired to watch it... If you thought Mullholland Dr. was weird this gets weirder, quite long there's several characters in the movie but the movie was all Laura Dern.....I give it 6 1/2 stars. I think I enjoyed Mullholland Dr. more though...this isn't a movie you can watch over and over but it's not to say it's bad, I mean it is quite long and the story seemed to move slow. I liked end credits, cool music and some appearances by a couple actresses in his past movies and or friends.

[MC Moot]

I watched "The U.S Vs John Lennon" the other night,it was o.k...probably would have had a deeper impact on me if I already wasn't so familiar with the events it documents.....I was however blown away with the similarity's between the Nixon administartion and Bush Jr's current regime....history repeating itself......but last night I watched "The Protector" it was a blast....Endangered elephants and Muy Thai madness....the greatest no wire flying, no FX,martial arts sequences EVER....the contiuous stairway brawl warranted 3 seperate viewings....that Tony Jaa cat is a mad man!.....(y)

I am going on record as saying I hate this movie. I find it boring and pretentious. I love some of Linklater's other stuff, though. He's got to be the most schizophrenic director I've ever heard of. He's all over the map, indie, broad comedy, drama.

Anyway, just my two cents.

I concur,when I was at college it was ALL the buzz....much ado bout nada....

It started off pretty strong and tapered off very very quickly. The part with the menstrual cycle shit got really really boring and you knew there was no way it was going to get any better after the steady decline. I don't even remember much after that.

I'm watching natural born killers.

I love road movies. This one is pretty intense and psychedelic.

Tonight we watched The Departed. Absolutely brilliant. I've never been a Leonardo DiCaprio fan but he really impressed me.

I love Leo.

I am the only one of my friends who likes his work.

The Beguiled, a very strange Clint Eastwood western.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Hey I am all about loving the Leo now. :D

I've not really seen him in that many movies. He always seemed too, i dunno, fresh faced. Plus i always avoided The Beach because that is one of my favourite books and i just couldn't imagine Leo as Richard.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[trailerprincess]

Cinderella Man is brilliant

I saw Kiss Kiss Bang Bang after a friend's recommendation and I loved it. I was surprised that I ended up being more impressed with Val Kilmer than Robert Downey Jr as I like Robert very much. But Val was just hilarious. He had some killer lines which had me properly laughing out loud. I am going to watch it again very soon.

I went to see the Halloween matinee on Friday. Rob Zombie turned it into a slasherfest. He incorporated lots of t&a for a R movie and dropped in music that really had me rolling. For instance--Tom Sawyer by Rush when Michael Myers was on a rampage. The movie was not great or even good for the matter but I have to say I was a bit entertained.

I just read that Rob Zombie's Halloween had the best Labor Day gross in history.

[AznAlice]

I just read that Rob Zombie's Halloween had the best Labor Day gross in history.

Yeah I read that yesterday I was looking at trailers. Ugh, I hate remakes. Generally they're never good with a few exceptions. But after seeing trailers I'm somewhat curious to see it plus haven't watched a scary movie and seems like I'm in the mood. Enjoyed reading what you thought of it.

[Yeti]

If you go to see Halloween just go in knowing that it is on a lark. It might be enjoyable. Rob Zombie decided to show how Michael Myers killed most of his family and his days in the sanitarium. When Myers gets out of the sanitarium it goes right into the original Halloween. It is almost like 2 mini-movies. Zombie wrote the script and the dialogue is very awkward. He does not hold back on the blood and when I think about it I jumped up in my seat twice the entire film. You know what I mean when I say jumped up in my seat? (the I did not expect it moment)

[icy manipulator]

Sunshine - for an idea that's been done 25 million times, gotta say i quite liked it. it's something i'll prolly never watch again tho

and i saw Mr Bean's Holiday. good laugh, worth seeing

28 Weeks Later, didn't like it, shit as far as horror movies ago, wont be seeing a third one if they make it

A Good Year, enjoyed it, worth watching, prolly wont watch it again tho

[Otis Driftwood]

The Lady from Shanghai with Orson Wells, the final in the Madhouse of Mirrors is amazing!

[abcdefz]

The Lady from Shanghai with Orson Wells, the final in the Madhouse of Mirrors is amazing!



Did you like the whole movie?

I never quite got into it altogether, but, yeah -- that ending was great. Woody ripped it off later for Bullets over Broadway or something like that.

Once again, Orson got butchered by the studio stuff, though. There are stills you can find in occasional Welles books (Naremore's, and also the one with Bogdonovich) where you see where else he went with the funhouse sequence.

(Check page 197 (http://books.google.com/books?id=XRQN0-taecoC&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=orson+welles+shanghai+funhouse+sequence+cut&source=web&ots=QmA5y5Zcx5&sig=Nj_exP5x73i4h1Xd7DvUL7Kwbvs#PPA197,M1))

[Otis Driftwood]

At first it was a bit hard to understand Wells' dialogue. I liked the scene in front of the parking garage, and that actor who played Quisby (he who payed Wells the 5K to have him "kill" him) striked me as a true lunatic. The shark metaphor was good and ominous! Of course, the double crossing is standard fare for films of this period. Next on my list is Crossfire, from the same year. :D

[abcdefz]

I haven't seen Crossfire. Hope you post here when you've seen it.

Yeah -- Welles' screwy... he did an Irish or Scottish accent in that? Irish?

Man, it's been a while since I've seen it.

The studio cut about an hour off that movie. Wonder what it would've been like in full. Maybe just a longer messy.

Some of the process shots looked kinda cheesy, if I remember right.

[Otis Driftwood]

Some of the process shots looked kinda cheesy, if I remember right.
The caribean picnic at night? Indeed! Guess Wells was talking a bit Irishish, as his character was called "Black Irish", though it didn't sound like Cassidy the Vampire. And you're right, one hour woulda been a lot of excess baggage. Maybe the cuts resulted in the monologue in which Wells retells his misfortune, it's a nice framing device. You should rewatch it just for that mad lawyer Quisby, though. He's scared of the atom bomb.

[abcdefz]

Was that Everett Sloan's character? He's the guy with the nose in the funhouse. I might be mashing two of them.

Maybe this weekend.

I will be sure to report back. I saw The Proposition and I thought it was very good. The ad campaign says it is the best western since The Unforgiven. I love Clint Eastwood but I thought The Unforgiven was way overrated. A hooker that was cut on her face managed to spur the assassin out of retirement. Sheesh?!
Gene Hackman was good as Little Bill and of course Clint was great as usual.
I have my fingers crossed that 3:10 to Yuma is better.

I think the last western I really liked was The Outlaw Josey Wales. At least I think it was:confused:

[abcdefz]

Did you see Costner's Open Range? That was really good.


Man, I love Unforgiven. The prostitute's cut face wasn't Munny's main motivation, though; his stock was dying off and it was looking like he wouldn't be able to feed the kids. That might be a moot point if you weren't on board, anyway, but...

[Kid Presentable]

I just watched The Falling Man. The plight of people on that day having to choose their own method of death is one of the few things in this life that has resonated any empathetic reaction from me. The image of the same name is poignant, and will go down as a definitive piece of photography eventually. The story behind it was quite compelling, and the conclusion I found interesting.

I did see Open Range and enjoyed it quite a bit. Don't get me wrong--I liked The Unforgiven. I just thought it was overrated although it garnered several academy awards. How can you not love Clint? If a Clint movie is on the tube I will stop and watch............ unless it has an orangutan monkey in it.

It's the story of 9/11 jumpers. I became worried I had developed a morbid fascination with that day, but I'm beginning to see I'm actually quite affected by the humanity of it all. That's my lot to bear, I guess.

So the film-maker seeks to identify one man pictured serenely falling to his death. The photo originally ran 9/12, and caused quite a stir. It was "Voyeuristic" and "showed no respect to the dead". The photographer combated the claims (and I get his drift when he says it) by stating he wasn't lauding anybody's death, but capturing a moment of their life; where they had made an impossible decision.

Are you at work (and what the fuck is it you do anyway, Mr. Movies? :D)? I ask because somebody with a director's account has ripped it to youtube.

Watch it here, if you're so inclined. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXnA9FjvLSU)

Yeah, see, to me, that's the one movie of his where everything totally came together. I'm not that nuts about his performance, the more often I see it, but everything else, to me, is pretty much perfect. Maybe not the young gun with shaky eyes, but that movie, to me, is about a 9/10. (y)

Thanks for the link. Yeah, I'm at work -- documentation.

There's supposed to be a pretty terrific novel out right about now with that same title, I think. The Falling Man.

Anyway, yeah -- I should check this out.

The Schofield Kid!
Will Munny: Kid, it's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

You know it has been a long time. I forgot about Morgan Freeman as Ned, Richard Harris as English Bob and Saul Rubinek as the bootlick writer.

Maybe I should have kept my trap shut. I do like when he gets crazy when Ned is killed.

My favorite quote of the movie is------I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned.

[MC Moot]

I saw "3:10 to Yuma"....I liked it,thought I wasn't going to,it turned out to be a pretty faithful and nicely violent remake of the original....great characters....I can't wait for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward" with B Pitt....filmed on the same land as Little Big Man,Dances With Wolves,Unforgiven,Legends of the Fall,Heaven and Earth,The Edge,Open Rangeand Brokeback Mountain....dusters are fantastic genre,especially when shot in my own backyard.....(y)

Kept your trap shut? Nah. It's good conversation.

Yeah, there are some real quotable lines in there. I like the exchange (paraphrasing here) "You killed an unarmed man!"/"He should've armed himself if he was going to decorate his saloon with my friend."



"...Duck of Death."

"'Duke,' it says."

"Duck, I says."



Lots of other stuff.

Oh, for what it's worth -- I like an awful lot of Raimi's The Quick and the Dead, too.

I did hear that 3:10 to Yuma is action packed. A good shoot em up with great characters.
I am also looking forward to the Jesse James film.

I am always in the mood for a good western. I can't wait until I get out of this temp apartment and set-up my entertainment system. I will make sure to have Encore's Western channel.

[icy manipulator]

Which Crash? Cronenberg's, or Haggis's?

[beastieangel01]

Fracture

[DIGI]

Which Crash? Cronenberg's, or Haggis's?

Haggis. It was decent, but I just didn't see what all the hype was about. I mean, come on, Matt Dillon nominated for an Oscar for that?

[abcdefz]

He maybe should've gotten his nomination for Drugstore Cowboy, maybe. He's usually solid, but I don't know about "great."

[DIGI]

He maybe should've gotten his nomination for Drugstore Cowboy, maybe. He's usually solid, but I don't know about "great."

Exactly. I liked him better in Employee of the Month, too. I just liked that movie in general because of Jenna Fischer playing a hooker.

[MC Moot]

Side note,Cronenberg did a "Crash" as well....remember,with Spader as a guy who get's turned on re-enacting famous car crashes.....which remind me i sat through Cronenberg's "Spider' this weekend as well...a film that truly went nowhere and took a long time doing it....(n).....I see that his new one,teamed with Vitto M again,"Eastern Promises" took 1st a Venice,looks allright......(y)

[abcdefz]

I went with a friend to see Spider when it was in the theater. There was a moment where the movie just cracked for us, and all the sudden suspension of disbelief was out the window and everything just became hilarious. We had to leave because we were laughing hard, out loud, disturbing the other folks in the place.

Gabriel Byrne was really good in that, though. There was a scene where he and the boy are arguing the whole mom/whore thing, and he kind of wants to beat the crap out of his kid and at the same time is so completely baffled about what's happening.

[MC Moot]

^know what stuck out about it with me?....remember when Ralph Fienes character's "new" mom serves him the special treat for supper,which is an eel in a bowl?....just for that instant your skin crawled…..it was the only time in the film he went to the slime scene technique that made him….but shit does he do it well,if even just for a fleeting moment….if it wasn't on the T.V I would have turned on the English subtitles so I could figure out what the fuck Ralph was muttering,almost totaly indescernible....drove me nuts....:mad:

Fracture. i'm so bored my day's turning into a bit of a movie marathon

[icy manipulator]

This is England. nothing like a good old fashion skinhead movie. makes me wanna watch Romper Stomper, prolly the only time Russell Crowe's played a decent role.... excluding A Beautiful Mind of course

i just d/l Shooter. anyone know if it's worth watching?

[abcdefz]

Didn't see Shooter, so I dunno. Wahlberg's popcorn flicks are usually decent, though.

I don't think I'd want a cup of coffee with Russell Crowe, but you should give him more credit than that. He's been really, really good in a bunch of stuff -- Quick and the Dead, Master and Commander -- and he was superb in The Insider. (y)

[icy manipulator]

he's not bad, but aussie's nowday's like to point out that he's actually a kiwi. have you seen Romper Stomper az? i think it was his first lead role movie. i saw A Good Year last week and thought he was pretty good in that

[abcdefz]

I haven't seen either of those, no. You liked him in A Good Year? Did you like the movie? That movie got slagged pretty good here, but the thought of a Ridley Scott comedy -- with Crowe, especially -- sounded bizarre enough to almost be interesting.


Crowe just seems awfully humorless. Like Sean Penn, if Penn had never been Spicoli.

Don't mention Romper Stomper to Russell Crowe. I saw a reporter mention the film when he was doing interviews for Gladiator. He went off the handle. He had a small bit part but was pissed when the director decided to re-release it with his image on the DVD cover.

[B_Mackin']

I just watched Shoot 'Em Up. Now before you go telling me that it was one of the dumbest things you've ever seen let me explain. If you disregard the plot and the unrealistic, excessive violence it is AMAZING!! Everything I was expecting and so much more.

[Yeti]

I just watched 3:10 to Yuma. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe were excellent as usual. It was an A western.

The plot of----inner demons haunting the rancher (Bale) and his family's struggles was excellent. I also thought Ben Foster as Charlie Prince did a fantastic job in his small role.

[beastiegirrl101]

Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

[TAL]

I'm also reading all the comics that I've downloaded.

[ScarySquirrel]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. You know, the one where they travel back in time to ancient Japan.

Yeah, I forgot how much it sucks. Thanks to Netflix I know not to buy it now though. I can still rock with the previous two (and the new CGI one, which I enjoyed for some reason).

Now I think I might go watch some more 'Entourage' on DVD right after I send out some more resumes...

[saz]

I don't understand why people hate Babel so much. I thought it was alright. thought-provoking even. the mexican wedding stuff reminded me of my childhood.

yeah it was pretty good. nowhere near the departed, but it was still enjoyable.

russell crowe was also outstanding in gladiator - i can't believe no one mentioned it yet. and l.a. confidential was dope.

downfall was insane. it's about life from the perspective of one of hitler's naive, yet innocent secretaries, during the final ten days of the third reich. being in that situation would have been horrible; living in a cavernous bunker and knowing that the end is near, while all-out urban warfare and carnage was just above. while you sympathize with the secretary, who ultimately escapes with a young berlin boy to the western allies' front, your hatred of the nazis is also further solidified. the actor who played hitler was mindblowing - everything was spot on.

the last king of scotland was great, i loved it. forrest whitaker gave a monstrous performance as the ruthless and brutal idi amin. for a while there i thought the ending was going to be disastrous for the doctor, but then it all works out.

bobby was really engrossing. i loved all of the different characters, and their various relationships and story arcs, particularly the underlying racial tension between blacks and hispanics, and just how the staff were so committed to the ambassador hotel. the ensemble cast was magnificent too: anthony hopkins, harry belafonte, martin sheen, emilio estevez, demi moore, helen hunt, william h. macy, sharon stone, laurence fishburne, christian slater, elijah wood, heather graham, lindsay lohan, ashton kutcher, freddy rodriguez, josh jackson, and shia labeouf (the annoying kid from transformers, who essentially plays the same character in this movie). i'm not a fan of kutcher or lohan, but lohan was alright in her role (i definitely view her now in a better light), whereas kutcher just played a hippie drug dealer and had a very minor role, in which he didn't really do anything spectacular.

ghost rider was garbage, avoid it at all costs. i can't believe i actually watched it. surprisingly though nicholas cage doesn't overact in it.

breach was a very decent espionage drama, based on the true story of richard hanssen, an fbi agent who spied for the soviet union for fifteen years. it was probably one of chris cooper's best performances, i was blown away with his portrayal of hanssen. he should have been nominated for an oscar.

renaissance was a really good french action thriller, despite the animation, which i'm not a particular fan of.

for the majority of premonition, i was really suprised, however the conclusion was too predictable and cliche, which didn't really surprise me as it was a sandra bullock movie.

hollywoodland was amazing. this is ben affleck's comeback film - he was shockingly really good in this movie as george reeves, he proved that he's actually got acting chops. reeves was an aspiring american actor whose career looked promising after landing a role in the classic gone with the wind. he would go on to become superman in the 1950s saturday morning television show. apparently reeves began to make enquiries into the financial dealings of, and the substandard royalties he was receiving from mgm studios, while he was having an affair with actress toni mannix (played by diane lane, who is also really good), wife of mgm studio executive eddie mannix. mannix apparently had all sorts of organized crime connections, and was rumoured to have killed his first wife in 1937, was involved in the cover-up of the death of movie producer paul bern, and was also accused of participating in the brutal beating death of comedian ted healy. the film revolves around a private investigator, louis simo (played by adrian brody, who was awesome), who is hired by reeve's mother to investigate her son's death. the official version and police finding was that reeves committed suicide, however his mother and others refused to believe this, as reeves was not the suicidal type. simo quickly discovers that the police invesigation was sloppy and botched, and that an apparent cover-up was well in the works. simo's investigation eventually leads to both the mannixs, and particularly eddie mannix's shady background, dealings, and reputation. mannix was, and is portrayed in the film (bob hoskins really makes the character intimidating and creepy) as a genuine allen klein type: cold and ruthless, with money and profiteering as his main motivation in life. i highly recommend this film, entertaining as hell.

shooter started off so-so but then descended into absolute crap. it reminded me of a really bad 80s shoot 'em up b-movie.

fracture was pretty meh or average. really generic thriller or court room flick. hopkins was great, whereas all ryan gosling did was mumble and sound really dopey.

Personally I think Babel was really good....Especially if you look it as the 3rd film in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s trilogy…..starting with ‘Amores Perros” then “21 Grams”and concluding with ”Babel”…..all using similar intertwining plots and great,gritty cinematography, fine films all of them,way above standard fare…..(y)

Babel was average. the plots barely intertwined and although they perhaps had some thematic connection, the links were rather tenuous, and in my mind resulted in the feeling that I was just watching 3 separate films. there were some good scenes but overall it was a bit of a mess.

Has anyone seen Beyond The Gates?
It got over 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. It think I will rent it this afternoon.

Here is a synopsis---
Joe Connor has come to teach in Rwanda because he believes he can make a difference. When the school becomes a haven for thousands of Rwandans fleeing the genocide, Joe promises his brightest pupil, Marie, that the UN soldiers will protect her from the hordes of extremist militia baying for blood outside the school. But when the UN abandon the refugees, Joe and the school's headmaster, Father Christopher, face an agonising dilemma: should they leave or should they stand firm with the Rwandans. As the UN trucks force their way through the terrified refugees, Joe stares at the tear-stained face of Marie: what should he do?
What would you do?
Based on real events and filmed at the actual location where this story took place, Beyond the Gates is directed by Michael Caton-Jones and stars John Hurt and Hugh Dancy. It is an emotionally gripping, authentic and powerful recreation of a tragic real life story that took place during the Rwandan genocide in 1994.

[AznAlice]

Ughhhhhh......I just posted a lengthy reply only to get disconnected ... here's a very short version...random order. I kinda had a mini Asian movie festival ... Ratings are out of 10 stars.

1. Confession of Pain. (Tony Leung, loved him in Chunking Express and the Infernal Affairs movie. I was hoping for a little more but overall a good movie. This will also be remade for a Hollywood version again starring Leo DiCraprio I think.) 7 1/2 stars

2. Death Note 1 & 2. (Tatusya Fujiwara of Battle Royale is one of the key characters in the movie...coincidently I wanted to see this..) I enjoyed this. They're making or in the process of a separate movie based on a key character in the movie.... 8 1/2 stars

3. Abnormal Beauty. I thought it'd be better it's ok. I think I liked the music more (nothing spectacular but compared to the movie in general) that was added to heighten the drama or effect of the movie, lol. The ending to me was just ehhh.. 6 stars

4. A Tale of Two Sisters. Well acted by the leading character..a pretty good movie. 8 stars

5. I'm a Cyborg, But That's Ok. Again coincidently I wanted to see this because of the movie poster. This also stars the same actress as the actress in A Tale of Two Sisters. The opposite male lead for a first time actor who's better known as a popstar did good job I thought. I liked it. 8 stars

I feel like I'm forgetting a movie....hmmm

More Asian movies on queue but not quite sure which I'll watch first.... that's it for now. Until then popcorn for everyone!:cool:

[Yeti]

Last night I watched Beyond the Gates starring John Hurt. It is an excellent film but the subject matter is very disturbing. All the films about the Rawandan genocide make my jaw drop.

John Hurt's character is a Catholic priest named Father Christopher that runs a school. The French UN soldiers are based at the school. When the President is assassinated thousands of people in the Tutsi tribe show up for protection. The Hutsi (spelling?) tribe shows up with machetes and machine guns outside the gates waiting for their chance for a mass slaughter.

Hugh Dancy is excellent as the school teacher and Clare-Hope Ashitey was very good as the student.

I give the film a solid A but make sure you are in the mood for the depressing subject matter.

I watched the Good Shepherd a couple nights ago. It was long. Long movies never used to bother me but now I'm sort of feeling bogged down when something is more than 1.5 hours.

Anyway, it was a good movie. I had too much wine to catch on to all of the little signals and subtle clues as to what was going on.

I felt extremely bad for Angelina Jolie's character and thought she gave a great performance.

What should I watch tonight? I'm not having a good day. I fought with my bf last night and I feel like wallowing in self-pity.

there's nothing interesting or compelling about it. Except for a bizzaro Tobey moment, it was just flat as hell.

You want a movie to wallow in, or a comedy, or.....?

Wallow.

[MC Moot]

thanks....I will snag "Goodnight,Good Luck" for a dose of mcarthurism.....how bout a comedy for balance???....someone at work here say's "Idiocracy" is stupid fun.....and I also keep passing on "The Pick of Destiny".....

[abcdefz]

Wallow.

Hmmm... not sure what sort of wallowing you want, so I'll just throw some stuff out there:


The Story of Adele H., I think, is your best bet

Birdy
Death of a Salesman
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Grace of My Heart
Squid and the Whale
Lost in Translation


...do you know any of those?

[MC Moot]

Wallow.

"The Wind That Shakes the Barley"..... (y)(y)(y)

I know the last three.

I think I'll watch the Station Agent again. Its sad but ultimately uplifting. Probably my favorite movie.

[MC Moot]

well....it all went out the window and I ended up with "Hustle and Flow" and "The Lady In the Water"......we'll see.....:o

^LOVED IT! What a great flick....

I just watched 11:14 last night, anyone? Anyone?

one of those movies where there is like 18 storylines going on at once and then they all come together. ...

[abcdefz]

"The Lady In the Water"





You didn't.

Yeah, I seen that shit. It was eh. It was decent if you are sitting around with nothing to do but feel like watching tv.

Same with the movie I saw last night, Candy. Standard smack movie with a love story sneaked into it. Is sneaked a word? or should it be snuck? when i put snuck I get the red squiggly underline.

Is Heath Ledger in that?

[Rock]

Is Heath Ledger in that?

yeah....and geoffery rush and some chick..abbie cornish or something like that.

[abcdefz]

Rush is pretty dependable. How was Ledger?

I've seen him in a few things, and he's usually good, at least. Sometimes really surprising.

[Rock]

He was alright, some parts of his were a bit overdone, but given the circumstances it was forgivable. I will admit, in the last scene, he sold that shit....at least to me.

[abcdefz]

That's cool.

I'm just curious. Very stoked about him being the Joker.

Ledger working with a director like Nolan, just going batshit crazy? Are you kidding?

[Rock]

I'm half and half with Ledger, but I am excited to see how he pulls off the Joker. I think he has it in him.

[beastiegirrl101]

Fat Girl

Has anyone seen this French film? Horribly sad and depressing but really amazing.

Rear Window ....Im on a Jimmy Stewart kick.

Michael Caine is giving him props. Says Ledger scared him during their scene and he forgot his lines.

Thanks for the reminder -- I'll put Fat Girl in my queue.

Jimmy Stewart... (y)(y)(y)(y)

Rear Window is one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. I wish the flashbulb special effect worked better, but, regardless.

Just the highball cognac shot alone is worth the price of admission.

Grace, Thelma.... good shtuff.

[Rock]

someone at work here say's "Idiocracy" is stupid fun.....and I also keep passing on "The Pick of Destiny".....

Idiorcracy started off pretty good, but about 15 minutes into it, it turned to complete garbage. I'd skip it.

The Pick of Destiny is insanely good. I think I watch it about 3 times a week on my zune at work. I can't get enough of it. A lot of people I know don't like it that much, because there are bits from their albums that are expanded a little more, but I still think its great. There isn't a day that goes by when it isn't quoted in someway by me. I think I may watch it now.

C.R.A.Z.Y.

French-Canadian movie from 2005.

[icy manipulator]

Ledger was really good in a movie called Two Hands

Geoffry Rush grew up about 5 mins from where i live so everyone in brisbane has a hard on for him

last movies i've seen, i saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High for the first time on saturday night. Sean Penn was pretty damn funny in that

and i saw Volkadav (Wolfhound) this evening. basically got what i expected. little tricky without subtitles but it's pretty easy to get the jist of it

[hpdrifter]

Watched a bluray of House of Flying Daggers last night on a big plasma TV. Some scenes it didn't make a difference, but some scenes it almost felt 3-D. (y)

Whenever I think about how humorless Sean Penn is, I think of him as Spicoli. He was so great, so funny... where the hell did it come from!?

I'll try "The Pick..." on your advice....but i watched 2 horrible rentals this weekend,still feel queasy...gawd.....

[abcdefz]

I saw three movies this weekend:

Death Proof -- didn't like it
A Mighty Wind -- meh
Eastern Promises - pretty good

[hpdrifter]

I'll try "The Pick..." on your advice....but i watched 2 horrible rentals this weekend,still feel queasy...gawd.....

What were they?

Last I checked I think you were gonna do Good Shepherd and ... what else?

[MC Moot]

A Mighty Wind -- meh



This was the begining of the denouement for Chris Guest,followed by a even more meh picture in "For Your Consideration"....but really after "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show"....something had to give.....

[MC Moot]

What were they?

Last I checked I think you were gonna do Good Shepherd and ... what else?

"Hustle and Flow" another shite MTV hip hop drama.....and.....*cringe*...."Lady in the Water".....even though I remember it being slayed by critics I enjoy M. Night Shyamalan alot....in the past....there were a few Hitchcock like long shots,foreground action....nice.....and I always love Shyamalans cameos....but he cast himself and...mannnn what happened to this movie...i wonder what the people who were witness to the daily’s were thinking….like….”where the fuck is there a movie in this???”.....(n)

[abcdefz]

I've read enough about Lady in the Water to know not to even rent it, unless I just want to watch a train wreck.

The Village was bad, too, but it had a certain screwy integrity to it. Lady in the Water just sounds like a confused mess.

[hpdrifter]

I actually still might watch that. Bryce was sooooo good in The Village. Whatever you thought of the rest of that movie, her performance has to be one of the most promising debuts in recent memory. Well, my recent memory anyway. Which isn't saying much.

yes,my name is Moot,but trust me there is no question on this movie,it stinks....even the gag reel is bad......;)

[icy manipulator]

Layer Cake. dont think Daniel Craig makes a good Bond? watch Layer Cake. Wanna see Sienna Miller in some hot lingerie? watch layer cake. it's prolly my fav movie in a while, i'm tossing up whether it's better than lock stock.

plus i watched Perfume again on the weekend. great film, still need to read the book tho. and it's the reason i watched layer cake tonight. didn't realised John Baptiste is in layer cake.

[saz]

i forgot about those two. i saw layer cake back in the spring and it was fantastic. perfume is one of my favourite books and i was impressed that the film adaptation stayed pretty close to the novel, yet without getting too graphic or gory.

Eastern Promises - pretty good

I am going to see this film tomorrow. I am very interested to see what Cronenberg and Mortenson have created this time.

[Drederick Tatum]

Layer Cake. i'm tossing up whether it's better than lock stock.

I found it to be a soulless ripoff of Lock Stock...

Lady in the Water is lol for days. so bad. Q-Drop loved it though (http://beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=69394&highlight=lady+water&page=2), but he's an ape.

[Drederick Tatum]

my last film was Turtles Can Fly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424227/) which was heavy shit. well made, but bummed me out.
