What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

[ziggyjuarez]

Despicable Me (2010) - Cute at times.But lacks a lol factor.Even the kids were getting a little uninterested by the time the movie was over.Not bad, Just not good.Five out of ten.

Late teens early twenties if I remember correctly form one of his posts. Then again he initiated a flame war of which the user claimed he was 19.

Calling me late teens early twenties is both a insult and a compliment . As for initiating "flame wars" , I don't . I have "lively discussions " and a bit of fun with rarely any bad intent.Just an exercise in creative writing and attempting to get people to think a bit really.
Oh course I don't really honestly know what flame wars means so maybe I in fact do.

Btw I'd tell you my age if you really want to know but this being the internet and the fact of the matter being that I could be a 12 year old Asian boy or a thrice divorced 47 year old Black woman from Kanas City and still tell you that I'm a SWM of 31 from Ontario ,I don't really see the point.

[ziggyjuarez]

Going against the grain because it makes creative writing...yeah thats flaming.

Cool, then I take it that you are also a bit of a "against the grain " sort of person since everyone that I've talked to seems to refer to you as being quite the flamer.

Today I had the 'job' of sitting through 1:25:55 of "Mr. Bean's Holiday with subtitles. I think Rowan Atkinson is a genius but when it comes to feature films I'm ashamed to watch him.

Richard Curtis should be ashamed of himself also, after the Blackadder series especially Blackadder Goes Forth (Army Years) and the Mr Bean series how can he write such dribble?

My whole reaction to the movie was this:

http://i54.tinypic.com/afezdi.png

I didn't quite notice this but I believe Curtis is out of ideas. After watching some of the classic British sitcoms most of the amusing scenes were sourced from other sitcoms.

eg.

Dear Zachary (2009).
This is a documentary and that's about all I can tell you about it without ruining the experience.
My friend j2 recommended this movie and I'm thankful he didn't tell me what it was about beforehand...

This was an almost perfect viewing experience in the sense I had no prior knowledge of the events and the film takes some wildly unexpected turns.
In other words, I had no idea what was going to happen next and was thrilled by the ride.
It's so unusual to see a film that doesn't telegraph it's punches and catches you by surprise.

The film is also surprisingly sweet, given the subject matter.

I know this an odd and uniformative "review" but I can't see any way of being specific without lessening the impact (which I found considerable).
Watch it.

Road House: The basic manly movie with lots of ass kicking and boobies bouncing.They story is about a bouncer hired to clean up a bar because he has a high reputation for neck ripping.The villain is an old rich guy that rules the town with no restrictions from the police because its all legal.This movie is filled with sluts and drunkards.

Let Him Have It (1991)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102288/

The poignant tale (based on a true case) of a "sub-normal" teenager in the justice system of 1950s Britian. Strong performances all-round; Christopher Eccleston portrays Derek with an innocent optimism that makes the way the events unfold all the more frustrating, Paul Reynolds as Chris Craig is simultaneously obnoxiously charismatic and pitiable, and Tom Courtenay does a fine job as an everyday father doing his best for his son. A notable classroom scene with revolvers and pistols makes for interesting era juxtaposition. The film starts off a bit slowly but forges ahead to a powerful finish.

Rise of the Footsoldier

One of the most underrated movies I've seen the last few years. A film full of violence with the main hero moving from the hooliganism of the late 80s to become a powerful gangster after 3 decades. He was a young man fighting for fun and we follow his life through fighting. He got married, made friends, divorced, found love in a rave party, watched friends die. Finally even as a respected gangster he still fights for his life and for his family.

Never Let Me Go

Don't see this movie.

I'm not sure what I might have thought had I gone in cold but I had just read the book.
I'd compare the book>movie to what I'm certain would happen if A Confederacy of Dunces was ever translated to film...a disaster.

Never Let Me Go was one of those books that after the first 50 pages or so, I nearly put down unfinished.
It seemed very slow and mannered- almost Jamesian in it's nuance and description of (seemingly) minor detail.
If it wasn't for a vaguely weird and creepy subtext, I'm sure I never would have finished reading but I'm very glad I did.
It's a very adultsci-fi/horror concept that is never explicitly described or shown, the impact all the more stunning as the reader begins to understand what is actually happening.

The movie must boldly and straightforwardly explain what the reader slowly teases out for himself and because of that, the shock and sadness is all lost.

The book is fabulous, the movie is not.
I don't see how it could be really.

[clocker]

The Town- Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner

Ben Affleck who co-wrote, directed and stars once again goes to the well in this story of bankrobbers in Boston.
I thought it was very well done, exciting and realistic without being artificially amped up.
The characters are fully developed and act logically, the plot serves them instead of the reverse.

I liked it.

[iLOVENZB]

I thought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 started at 4:30 it didn't it started at 6:00. We ended up waiting 15 minutes and watched Due Date then when that finished we watched Deathly Hallows

First off Galifianakis and Downy were perfect for their roles. It was a cliche comedy but nonetheless very funny. I don't understand why people even review comedies, I mean their either funny or they're not. If there's some resemblance of a plot then that's a bonus.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was a very exaggerated build up to a grand finale; Part 2. What I would've liked was more experimenting in the "Muggle" world but i don't know how you would achieve that without deterring from the plot.

What I believe JK. Rowling didn't really achieve was mixing with other wizarding schools. Goblet of Fire seemed to touch on this aspect but to leave it out for the rest of the series just seemed a bit strange. Again how any author would implement this idea without deterring from a plot I would have no idea.

Visually I was more than happy with Deathly Hallows, from the dark themes with small snippets of light comedy to the costumes of the dark lords servants to the dark gloomy settings to Voldermorts nose was amazing. Really liked how the franchise has turned out over the installments.

I can't believe how it abrupt it ended. It's going to be a sad to see this franchise finish. Nice to see that all the characters have grown up and most of them improved their portfolios. Daniel Radcliffe's (Harry Potter) performance has not improved throughout the installments.

Emma Watson fans will be glad to know there is a firey scene between Hermione and Harry Potter and when she's wearing the pink pinstripe coat (http://georgestyle.george.com/2010/11/22/hermione-beats-cheryl-as-girls-fashion-icon).

For the record watching two movies back to back doesn't do your back any justice. Don't know how I'm going to survive if there is a Harry Potter marathon (20hrs worth).

The American- George Clooney, some nice Italian boobage.

Clooney is weird.
He seems to do the big blockbuster films so he can afford to do oddball shit like this.
There isn't a glimmer of the self-aware charm that he brings to films like the Oceans franchise, in fact, he's completely wired and freaked out for this entire film.

The American seems very generic and pointless to me.
There were no clever plot points or unexpected events (after the opening scene), as the film progresses the ending becomes more and more obvious.
As an acting exercise, it's very one note and kind of tedious.
Italy is beautiful and certainly has some great looking women but I got the feeling that it was situated there just because Clooney lives nearby, there's no compelling reason for the locale.
In fact, from a plot standpoint the locale makes no sense at all.

It's a meh.

I watched Home of the Brave the other week, it's about a bunch of soldiers who leave the army and can't fit into society. Plot was minimal just like the acting. Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) has got to be one of the worst actors I've seen ... and I've seen a few low budget films. Samuel L. Jackson was probably the main highlight in this film, loved his scenes. Anyone got some insight on how they did the scenes with Jessica Biel having no hand?

Still doesn't really clear anything up, but for those interested in Biel's prosthetics's in the film:

Little Fockers - 2010

i didn't think it was all that bad. it seems to have a different side of humor this time around and i liked it better than the first two films. it felt more serious with a hint of comedy thrown in unlike the previous two films which had a lot more silliness. jessica alba was full of hip cuteness. new age viagra, godfather references and penile injections. 6.5/10

The Tourist - 2010

ahh, good ole Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. AJ was stunningly pretty and sophisticated, but just too damn skinny. JD plays a down to earth innocent guy that gets caught up in an english gangster feud. mildly snappy dialog kept me interested in the film throughout it's entirety. planes, trains and automobiles. 6.5/10

The Fighter - 2010

based on a true story Christian Bale and Marky Mark use their faces as a punching bag. CB plays his role perfectly and MM does what he does. CB does a good job just as long as he's NOT playing Batman. once again though he loses 60+ pounds and is skinny as hell, but then again this time he's playing a washed out crack head boxer. the speed of the movie is just below average. never dipping to a crawl, but you're always looking forward to something to speed it up which don't come until the movie is over. also, Amy Adams is a hottie even though not looking her best throughout the film. lol, EVERYONE is so run down in this movie. snobby limeys, kidney shots and some ugly ass sisters. 6/10

True Grit - 1969 Vs 2010

watched both films back to back. i'd have to say i prefer the '69 version better. it had A LOT more character to it than the 2010 model. the beginning of the 2010 and the ending are different from the '69 version and while i think the 2010 one worked out a little better at the end u do miss out on story from the '69 one in the beginning. the ending in 2010 also elaborates more toward the very end and i didn't find that terribly wrong. u get to see what has come of everyone and that's nice.

i also found that the cinematography was better in '69 opposed to 2010 as well. u get a lot of panned out shots in '69 and u get a feel of where they're at more so than 2010. 2010 was a big disappointment in this department, but all the close up shots makes u feel a little claustrophobic.

the '69 version playing in at 2 hours while the 2010 one lasted around 1:45 hours. both a decent watch and i'd recommend watching the older one first for comparison sakes.

for myself i'm not good at judging score for an older movie for new age tech has spoiled me. so, i'd say i'd give the 2010 True Grit a 6/10 and i believe the 1969 True Grit was the better film giving it around 7/10.

either way, both a good watch for western lovers!

[iLOVENZB]

What about us non-Western fans nails? Is there enough cleavage, loud bangs and explosions to keep us ADD riddled infants entertained?

I watched Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night. It's a film about a blind clockmaker who lost a son in the war and made a clock of which the second hand is going backwards. Shortly after the installment of the clock, a baby is born with old age and his physical age reverses like that of the clock. We go through the life of the boy through a diary he wrote.

I quite enjoyed the film, you will notice a lot of clocks throughout the film. One scene I found, was when the Russian sailor asked Benjamin if he ever got laid he spun the boat wheel backwards when Benjamin said no. We then see them both in a brothel.

Anyone understand the point of the scenes where Mr. Daws keeps telling Benjamin; "Did I ever tell you I been struck by lightning seven times?"

What, Pixar has a new movie I haven't heard about?

Going the Distance- Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Christina Applegate.

A predictable rom-com that rises above expectations because of the chemistry between Long and Barrymore and some surprise supporting bits from Kristin Schaal and Jim Gaffigan.
There are a couple of laugh out loud scenes- particularly Barrymore's drunken darts/bar rant- that were better than expected also.

Going the Distance is pleasant enough but hardly memorable and I was left thinking that Barrymore could be great in a truly excellent comedy.
I hope she gets the chance.

Tomorrow, When The War Began; watched it the day before yesterday (I might add I've read the first three books).
My father watched it too and said it reminded him a lot of a movie from the 70s called Red Dawn.
I actually liked this movie, didn't think it was a great movie, but an ok movie may be because I was expecting
to be quite disappointed before watching it, besides, the book wasn't that great either.

also watched 'Flipped' yesterday (for the 2nd time), now that is making a good movie!
a feel good movie some people call it, if you liked The Wonder Years you should love this movie
about a girl that loves this kind from the first time she saw him, but the kid pays no mind to her until
it is almost too late. The story is set in suburban US in the early 60s.\

I am pretty disappointed with this film. The actual dinner scene lasts only about 20 minutes of the 2hrs you'll spend watching it and the too many other scenes have little development. The only two good things about this movie in my opinion are: it never gets boring and paul rudd's acting.

When The Punisher does it he's portrayed as being heroic.

The Punisher even fucks around with Howard Saint's business and then wonders why people are after him.

Is the Punisher super human or something? He clearly got shot about 7 times throughout the film and all he does is limps a bit, gets up and starts running.

Although The Punisher is very much intended to be an anti-hero , the established,discernible difference between his and Howard Saint's need for revenge( and therefore presumably the audience's directed sympathy) is that in the case of Saint's sons death it was an accident and even then not at the hand of Frank Castle . Saint on the other hand , encouraged by his wife, purposely set out to slaughter all of Castle's family.
As for initially being shot I think the mysterious Black guy is suppose to be a shaman or something.:unsure:
Anyway ,for me another big problem with the movie is that as an actor , Thomas Jane just isn't appealing or charismatic enough to want you to cheer for him.
There have been far less sympathetic central characters( even truly evil ones with as little plot as here to support them) in film that you end up rooting for.
All in all a 4 would be about right except for the fact that Travolta dies in which case I give it a 9 .
If he was killed sooner it would be a solid 10.

Btw I recently tried to watch From Paris with Love but couldn't make it halfway through the second act.

Ultramarines

A bit strange that. All CGI. The animation was sub-par and the quality of textures used varied a bit, ranging from a few (and definitely not all) really realistic looking faces to some pretty terrible terrain.

The plot wasn't much to write home about, but it had both John Hurt and Sean Pertwee doing some voice acting, and they did a decent job considering the material.

I wasn't really expecting much from it, so no disappointments.


Before that:

Dante01

A french sci-fi. Looked good, but I didn't enjoy it overly much.

Everyone has different ideas of funny or else there is no explanation of why Everybody Loves Raymond ran for nine years.

I rewatched most of The Ninth Gate a Roman Polaski film starring Johnny Depp ( btw at which point is Depp to old to still be called Johnny?) .
It tells the story of an amoral rare book dealer(Depp) who is enlisted by a mysterious millionaire( Frank Langella who carries real weight even when doing farcical things) to determine if any of the three remaining copies of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows , a book purportedly written by Satan himself are in fact legitimate.
I enjoyed it as it's spooky in the best Polanski way but all the time I kept thinking that he (Polanski ) and already gone down the same path to much greater effect in Rosemary's Baby.
My only other real complainant is that Depp ( to me ) never comes across as either physically tough or alternately weaselly enough to do the things required of him at certain points late in the film.I haven't seen The Tourist but I would be interested to see if he fairs better with straight "man of action " there than he did here.

Um, ok.

Others have gone at it at more length, but I'll say this: Moon is a good movie, far better than its budget would imply. What casting there was, was excellent.

I won't say I thought it was entirely logical, and I was left with a few questions after watching it, but that's the case with a lot of movies, good or bad,

Others have gone at it at more length, but I'll say this: Moon is a good movie, far better than its budget would imply. What casting there was, was excellent.

I won't say I thought it was entirely logical, and I was left with a few questions after watching it, but that's the case with a lot of movies, good or bad,

Moon was awesome! Inteligent sci-fi,
to me it was one of the best movies I've watched in... say the past year or even more



and latest movie I've seen: 'Never Let Me Go'
Oh man! I ended up all depressed, lol. It's one of those movies that when it ends you are left all sad and feel cold or something.
That makes you think 'what if that was true?', 'what if people actually did that?'.
Some time after the movie I thought 'na, people would't do that', but then I remembered what that guy
in the movie The Island said: 'You'd be suprised what people will do to survive' (chills).

good movie,
quite depressing.

Valhalla Rising (2009)
I don't even know how to describe this film.
It made absolutely no sense and after watching it I had to read some reviews to see if anyone else knew what it was about.

There is maybe one page of dialogue in the whole movie (which is kind of funny given that two people are credited with the screenplay and there's a third listed for "additional writing") and the scenes are extremely static and artificial.
Basically, I think it was drivel but perhaps a second viewing under the influence of good psilocybin would make it more bearable.

But no, probably not.

@worldpease:
I read the book Never Let Me Go and was really disappointed by the film.
In the book, it's never explicitly stated what's going on and it's not till the very end that the reader understands the underlying premise.
That's why I was quite taken aback when the movie begins with an explanation of the cloning/donating scheme and thought it ruined the experience although I'm not sure how else they could have done it.

My thoughts exactly for Pixar's Wall-E. Still haven't re-watched it yet.

So far I've only been disappointed with two Pixar films; Cars and Wall-E. What hurts me the most is that Cars is getting a sequel while The Incredibles isn't.

Micmacs 8/10 (I think it is the English title). The strange story of a man whose life was destroyed from weapons. He manages to discover 2 weapon dealers and decide to destroy them in revenge with the help of new eccentric friends.
First I have to say I'm a fan of the director Jan Pierre Jeunet. So although this one it's not as intelligent as Delicattesen or even Amelie it is in a different style a smart movie. The photography is great as always in his films, characters are special and the story is unique.

Even if you don't like the style it is a pleasant movie to spent 2 hours watching it. Dany Boon is a surprise as Basil

Season of the Witch- Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman.

This is one stupid, boring movie.
If ever a script called for Cage to ratchet back up to Bad Lieutenant levels of crazy, this was it but inexplicably both Cage and Perlman play very restrained.
Clearly, this was just a paycheck for them both.

There are witches and demons but the special effects are lame, the story is predicable and the acting is pedestrian.
Season of the Witch wouldn't even make good MST3K fodder.

Skip it.

Rome (HBO series).

Not a movie, but I'm putting it in here anyway.
This was an absolutely great series from HBO.
Wonderful casting, sets, costume design...the whole ball of wax.
My brother recommended it to me and once I started, I couldn't stop watching- gobbled both seasons in two straight days.
I thought season 1 was slightly better but perhaps I was just getting jaded by the end.

This would be an excellent companion piece to the (much) earlier BBC series I, Claudius.

Highly recommended.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose ...

[clocker]

The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Yikes!
Are there even small children who didn't find this movie insanely stupid?
I'm not referring to the gaping plot holes or thinly veiled Christian subtext either, it's the astoundingly boneheaded and inexplicable decisions made by the characters in every single instance.
Faced with any given circumstance and offered three options, you can bet the farm that the person in this movie will opt for the path that would leave an average five year old agape with disbelief.

The entire plot of this film is predicated/dependent on a protagonist making the worst possible choice, consistently and without reflection.
By my reckoning, it only took about fifteen minutes of running time for the leads to make a fatal error- had the director any gumption at all, he would have shown the real results of such a mistake and ended the film (for anyone interested this would be the swordfight "practice" on the ship's deck shortly after the faceless meatsacks who star in this film arrive in Narnia).

The look of the movie is serviceable (what can I say, it looked OK on a 20" PC monitor) but not in any way remarkable.

This is awful, life-scarring, IQ lowering video crap...spare yourself (and please! Let's think of the children!) the agony, I already took this one for the team.

[iLOVENZB]

^^^ I saw the first one in cinema. I remember it taking about 1.5 hours for anything even remotely interesting to happen then only to finish with a predictable plot that would satisfy a three year old. So far The Chronicles of Narnia films are too violent for three year olds and too simplistic for people in higher age groups.

[IdolEyes787]

When I was young read the series several times and found Voyage of the Dawn Treader to be one of the better entries but even it is incredibly uneven .
A great deal of the blame is that C.S. Lewis , being a fundamental Christian, insisted on steeping all important plot points in allegory ( and therefore deadly solemnity ) while a lot of the incidental stuff ( like the Dufflepuds ) is silly in the extreme.
Works better in the books than the films but by the end you just wish they had all gone to heaven sooner and saved us all the time .

[clocker]

I didn't notice too many of the plot devices, dismayed as I was by the everyday stupidity of the leads.
For instance:
Faced at nightfall with an unknown island who's very visible city is oddly quiet/seemingly uninhabited, Caspian (apparently an Admiral or something) decides that the smart move involves all the main characters leaving the safety of the magical ship (magic in that it's unaffected by gravity- during a violent storm, as the ship is tossed on violent waves, two girls lie in bed, barely even swaying instead of being ragdolled on the floor and ceiling) and camping out on the beach.
Leaving all the guards and soldiers on the ship.
With no gear of any sort...people just sort of flop onto the sand and fall asleep.
While the comfortable, safe ship floats just offshore.

In any real army, a leader who made such boneheaded, potentially fatal decisions, would be fragged by the troops.

And don't even get me started about how it might come to pass that the King and his #1 captain decide to be the single reconnaissance team sent into the scary city.
While all the soldiers stand idly by.

They botch the mission badly, needless to say.

Paper Man / 2009.

I really wanted to finish this film, I really did. The first half is just confusing and appears to have no intention of progressing to a plot. It's not until Richard hunts down Abby does it really go anywhere. I dozed in and out towards the end so don't really recall anything after the sex scene in the car.

I think it's films like these that film reviewers/lecturers will have an orgasm over while the rest of the audience is just wondering what the fuck is going on. For instance, what was the purpose of the couch scene; was it a metaphor, did it have a significant meaning or was it just a filler scene?

Airplane! (1980)

Repo Men

i thought it was pretty good and i liked forest whitaker too. i dug the fast action dagger kills too. lol, reminds me of my rogue in WoW! :p Movie offers a lot of blood, some crazy barcode scanner action and a twist ending. 7.5/10

Have to agree with you, nails. Not a great movie by any means, but kept itself going and had lots of anti-corporate sentiment to mirror the times. Funny that the movie was made by Hollywood corporate whores. Just shows they can make a movie and still miss the message entirely. :lol: Yep, 7.5/10 from me as well.


Repo Men. I felt like the movie was trying to do too much. There are loads of eye candy mixed with attempts at conveying deep moral themes, but for some reason the whole thing felt shallow. There's so much action throughout the film, but at the end (especially after that ending) I felt like 'wtf did I just watch?'. Finally got around to watching this movie and while I seemed to have missed the "attempts at conveying deep moral themes" - I think the whole plot was structured to the action not to make you ponder morality - I would have to say that I would have liked the movie if not for the incredibly off-putting last 2 minutes .
Someone tried to get too clever by half and instead of giving the audience payback for their investment decided that it would be "brilliant" to spit in their faces instead.

Without the last scene I'm falling in line with a 7.0 ( good action and it did a good job of a difficult task of making me root for a previously reprehensible human being) .
With the last 2 minutes a 0 as it left a foul and lingering taste in my mouth.

Inception (2010)

Good film. It makes you think about the power of the mind and how relative the concept of reality is. The plot is so well thought out that I'm nearly certain it's taken out of a book. If you haven't watched the movie yet, when you watch it be sure to keep track of every new piece of information as it becomes available, because you'll have trouble understanding parts other wise. I managed to keep up until the ending, which is still something of a mystery to me.

No, I think they wanted to go for the sort of mock-comedy that the 1st Scary Movie nailed. Airplane fell short imo, because the comic scenes were over-stretched, overly simplistic, or downright tasteless.

Scarey Movie ? Yes the Wayans and Carman Electra are deep and tasteful.:mellow:

[clocker]

Middle Men- Luke Wilson, James Caan, Giovanni Ribisi.

"Based on true events".
Wilson plays Jack Harris, a calm and determined "fixer"...the man called in to help a struggling business identify it's problems and overcome them.
He is introduced to two crazy stoners (Ribisi & Gabriel Macht) by a lawyer friend, Jerry Haggerty (Caan).
The two have a dream of selling porn on the internet, do a half assed startup and are soon inundated by the response.
Along the way they make some very dubious connections with the Russian Mob and attract the attention of the FBI.

Harris (played with perfect stoicism by Wilson) realizes that the product (porn) is actually secondary...the real money is in the "pay per view" middle transaction (where a fee is assessed both parties) and he forms the first company capable of handling anonymous credit card transactions on the internet.
Money pours in, which attracts a lot of attention from people Harris- who fancies himself an upstanding family man- would prefer not to know.
His two partners never manage to grow up and make increasingly bad decisions, fueled by an ocean of coke and liquor.

I'm not sure how closely the movie hews to fact...Christopher Mallick, the real life Harris, was a producer on the movie and helped shape the script (no doubt, semi-whitewashing himself in the process), but it really doesn't matter.
The movie stands on it's own and is quite entertaining whether true or not.

Would do well paired with Blow, a similar story of improbable success (and failure).

You are almost certainly too young to appreciate it.
(Not "too young" as in "years old" but too young as in "born too late").
Half the humor was "meta" in nature...the Beaver's Mom (Barbara Billingsley) speaking jive?
Peter Graves (Mission Impossible) as a pedophile?
Had you not grown up with these folks' crafted screen personas, the bizarre juxtoposition of their characters in Airplane! would fall flat.

Airplane! is an ur-comedy, much of the humor we enjoy today sprang from it's cheezy loins.

Re-Watched 5 Centimeters per Second. If beauty is visualized, then that would be 5 Centimeters per Second. A coming of age, melancholic, musical symphony.

[clocker]

True Grit- Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld, Matt Damon.

14 year old Mattie Ross hires U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) to find and capture the man who killed her father.
Along the way they're joined by a Texas Ranger, LaBouef (Damon), who has also been tracking the bad guy.

This is not your parents John Wayne version of the story (which, for the record, I thought was as excruciating as every other John Wayne movie).
In fact, being a Coen brothers film, it's not much like any other western I've ever seen.
The language is a peculiar mix of formality and slang...almost Shakespearean in cadence and initially weird but ultimately fitting.
In typical Coen brothers fashion, the minor characters are colorful and weird (the travelling dentist with a dead body?) and the soundtrack is beautiful.

I liked it.

(Can anyone tell me if the voice of Mattie's lawyer is J.K. Simmons?
Also, about the credits...
I thought is was strange that Halilee Steinfeld, who is the heart of the story and always on screen, got below title billing while Josh Brolin (who plays the bad guy but is only onscreen for about five minutes) gets top billing with Bridges and Damon.
Seems completely out of whack.)

Blue Valentine (2010)
Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams

This is a tough film to watch but completely engrossing. I understand there was quite some controversy regarding its initial US rating (NC-17) and while it is 14A (PG-13) here, it is certainly an adult film. Not in the sex+violence sense, but in the themes and situations being portrayed. Some "life experience" is needed to appreciate it, if you will. Both Gosling and Williams put in phenomenal performances.

Survival of the Dead

Oh how the relatively mighty have fallen .From satirizing the foibles of American consumerism to ironically simply cashing a paycheck himself.

Nothing about this unfrightening,artless,senseless,pointless atrocity qualifies it as a movie other than it was made using cameras and it exists on celluloid.
The characters, such as they are, are pencil-thin almost to the point of non-existence and unlikable and unattractive to boot. I only mention the unattractive part because as we all know a little eye candy has rescued more than one God awful horror film but the "actors" here seem to have been cast from an especially unpleasant homeless shelter.
Also for a film dealing with zombies there is remarkably little concentration on them but I guess that's because the true villain here is Mr. Romero and he didn't want any lesser lights stealing his thunder.

The thing that really struck the nail in the coffin for me though was George's pitiful reuse of the last minute "everything is going to work out in the end- oh look maybe not she's been shot in the head" contrivance .
Shocking in 1968 , not so much so in 2011 when it's not already only been done to death but buried and the ground salted as well .

Anyway a outline of the plot for anyone interested in exploring the limits of human tolerance.

A bunch of vaguely unlikable maybe military people seek shelter on a island from a plague of zombies . Along the way some that you have as much connection to as oil does to water die and we learn that the island is in the midst of an unexplainable feud between two old and ugly men over the merits of keeping zombies "alive" so that they will eat horses instead of special effect intestines.
That and there are guns but not a lot since apparently the budget couldn't afford them.
That pretty much sums it all up .

Not to be entirely negative on the plus side there was no Adam Sandler.

Unstoppable- Denzel Washington, Chris Pine.

Human error (perpetrated by Ethan Suplee, whose entire career consists of "stupid, fat guy" roles) results in a runaway train threatening rural Pennsylvania.
There is hazardous cargo*...because, of course there is.
There is a train full of children...because, of course there is.

From start to finish this film is one cliche after another...no scene surprises or challenges the viewer, it's a very comfortable watch.
Washington rolls out the exact same character he used in Inside Man- the laconic, self-assured regular guy.
Pine brings his laser blue eyes and "only in Hollywood" manicured stubble.
And somehow, it kinda works.

The real star of the movie is the train, ole 777.
Some scenes effectively convey the power and mass of this threat but there are other shots where it's apparent that the trains are doing about 2 miles/hour and you wonder why someone doesn't just stroll over and board.
Again, it kinda works.

Perfect fare to veg out on the couch and kill a few hours painlessly.


* The hazardous cargo is a total red herring.
What's really gonna get 'em is the Staunton Curve and the absurdly placed fuel depot.
Police set up a "perimeter" about 100' from the site but the blast radius when the train flies into the depot will be measured in miles.
I suspect this is some sort of State supported Darwinian experiment.

Faster was just stupid from frame one.

No one in Unstoppable did the impossible- case in point *SPOILER*, when Washington is running down the top of the cars, he reaches the locomotive and has to stop...the gap is too great to jump.
On the other hand, Faster opens with Johnson, clearly 'roided up, released from prison and RUNNING to the nearest town (I guarantee he couldn't run over a hundred yards without suffering a coronary), hopping into a cherry Chevelle SS and murdering his first victim...all within his first hour of freedom.

Lethal Weapon- Danny Glover, Mel Gibson.
Two things struck me after viewing this film:
-Mel Gibson could actually act
-Mel had an amazing head of hair

Lethal Weapon is one of the ur-buddy cop movies and rolls along quite nicely till the end when all reason and logic disappears and Gary Busey dies*.
I haven't seen the sequels yet but assume that Riggs' death wish is tamped down, thereby removing his characters main point of interest.

All in all, not a great movie but good enough to warrant a watch.


*IMO, Gary Busey dying is always a good idea- preferably sooner than later- but the easy ambiguity of this death is too pat to take.

[IdolEyes787]

I remember reading something a long time ago about the climatic fight scene where Gibson and Busey were both too spastic to do any of the stuff that the fight choreographer wanted them to do so in the end they just let them wing it and edited out the parts where they slapped each other like little girls and the like.

Btw those were the good old days when brainless as the movie may have been it was still targeted at an adult audience and the studios didn't demand a PG-13 .

Also every time they show the film on TV they edit out what I think is one the the best , albeit throwaway, scenes .The one at the shooting range where Gibson shoots a happy face on the target.

And yes the movies lose all purpose and any aspirations to character development ( unless mugging for the camera constitutes character development ) after the first one.
It's one of those cases where the people involved with the movie think just because they are all having a great ole time so is the audience.

[The_Martinator]

I watched a couple of movies.

Full Metal Jacket

I'm not a fan of Kubrick, but after seeing this I might star becoming one. It's hard to put into words, but the movie shows the boot camp and war as objectively as possible. No corny music. The guy from law and order did a great job, imo. If you're into war movies, this is a must see.



Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Russel Crowe with sideburns. Nuff said. :P
Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised. There is action, but it SMART action. Didn't know whether the doctor was Darwin or not, though. :D

[clocker]

Inside Job-Charles Ferguson.
A documentary (narrated by Matt Damon) that details the events that lead up to and the aftermath of the latest (and current) financial apocalypse.
We're fucked and will continue to be so.
In fact, I would consider the events of the past few years to be but foreplay...the real boning is yet to come.
If this film (currently in the running for an Oscar) doesn't enrage you, you're dead or part of the very culture the movie examines.

Inside Job is profoundly depressing, which was probably Ferguson's intent, so it must be considered a complete success.

Aargh.

Sigh.

I Spit on Your Grave (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242432/)

A woman gets raped -> seeks revenge.

It's a decent watch, but you've probably seen the plot before (many times).
The predictability to this film is really unfortunate - could have been a lot better.

If you're into rape, revenge and gross stuff it's worth a watch. I wouldn't watch it again.

did u watch both versions? there's the 1978 AND teh 2010 model.

tbh, i watched them becuz of the gore and teh brutality of what was to cum from the angry women. while on the skinny side the original actress is much prettier, but the 2010 version of the film was a lot more brutal. i enjoyed both.

Skyline / 2010

Another Michael Bay film without a budget.

Poor acting, terrible character development, weak plot; the whole movie was about a group of self obsessed couples trying to exit a hotel while some supposed aliens stare at them.

Yes but since he then didn't have to endure all the following stupidity, wasn't he really the lucky one?

As it turns out, yes, he was the lucky one.
Since the film was obviously designed as part one of a franchise, he probably didn't feel so blessed getting killed off so early in the first installment but hopefully he has better things to do.

Apart from the obvious repulsion of one of the lead actors (hint: the only actor who can get away with grumbling and still be taken seriously (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc)) I thought it was a decent film. I might have to rewatch it to know how the could be two Alfred's.

Battle Los Angeles - saw it at the theater cuz it's like, a theater movie. The movie was...decent but nothing phenomenal.

Skyline - shit

Case 39 - shit

The Next Three Days - good movie

Tron Legacy - bleh

Unstoppable - okay, worth a watch but nothing special

Tangled - the usual good Disney CG animated film, daughter liked it, not Pixar

Faster - FUCKING PHENOMENAL, wayyy better than I thought it would be from previews WATCH IT!

Due Date - good comedy

It's Kind Of A Funny Story - decent dramedy

Siren - wanted to watch a good horror and actually sat through this shit

Little Fockers - great movie

Hereafter - TOTAL SHIT BESIDES THE VERY BEGINNING AND THE VERY END! The tsumani was great but then the rest of the movie is a total slog with 3 disparate stories "meeting" at the very end. Would not recommend.

Cyrus - decent but weird movie, anticlimactic

Ultramarines - liked it even tho' the animation wasn't top notch, a must for Dawn Of War 40,000 fans

Dead Space Aftermath - very good.

Knight and Day - okay action adventure, skippable

SALT - FUCKING PHENOMENAL FILM, the action is top notch and was much darker than I would've thought.

The Town - decent and worth the watch

Red - great action comedy

The Ghost Writer - a decent watch on the laptop when during film/TV dry spells

Battle: Los Angeles

I thought it was a pretty decent film. LOTS of explosions and gun fire kept this one going without the need of some additional love story. Certain things could have been explained more to help the story, but it turned out ok imo. Basically, an alien race engages the human race in trying to colonize us for our H20. I didn't feel anyone did an extraordinary job in acting when all there is are explosions and the like. Grab yourself some quality speakers and enjoy the sounds of war. unexplained meteors, swimming pools & red homing lasers. 8.5/10

Battle: Los Angeles.

What an odd film.
Grab every cliche from a 1940's Hollywood war movie, replace the Nazis and Japs with aliens (who have slightly, but not overwhelmingly, superior weaponry and truly execrable tacticians*) and spice up the action scenes with today's de rigueur jumpy cutting...voila!, I give you Battle: Los Angeles.
It's competently produced and not terribly acted.
The CGI (which had to be extensive) is OK.
The aliens seem kind of crude and are mostly seen from afar or blurred by speed or smoke.

In many ways, B: LA is just a poorer, stripped down Independence Day with some Hurt Locker pretensions mixed in.
I didn't hate it but didn't feel engaged or even manipulated...it was basically rather boring.

*About the alien invasion...
If your goal is to siphon off our oceans, why the hell are you attacking our coastlines and engaging land forces?
Plop your weird alien asses down in the middle of the ocean- conveniently free of pesky natives- and start sucking away...it shouldn't take long (after all, it's mentioned on a background TV that the ocean levels are already falling measurably- a mere few hours after the invasion has begun. With whizbang alien tech like that, completely draining the planet should take maybe three weeks, tops) and your ground troops are spared losses storming assets you have no strategic interest in.

The Lost Skeleton Returns Again.

A loving homage to cheesy 1950's sci-fi movies. TLSRA features horrible rubber monster suits (zipper prominently displayed), an alien couple, man-eating plants and a cantaloupe worshipping tribe of natives.
The dialogue ranges from absurdly stilted and explanatory to blithely hilarious ("Oh look, trilobites!") and was probably improvised on the spot.
The actors really work it.

A side note of no particular merit...where ever they filmed this, it's absolutely beautiful.
Probably a park around LA or something but really, really nice.

Elephant.White.2011,intresting storied

[clocker]

Super- Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon, Liv Tyler and (briefly) Nathan Fillion.

I can't recall a movie as tonally wrong as Super.
I wonder why, at some point in post production, someone didn't say, "What are we trying to do here?" and reevaluate the film...because it's a mess.

Whether they intended it or not, comparisons will/must be made to Kick Ass because the premise is the same- what if a regular person became a superhero?
Kick Ass was by no means a great film but was more cohesive in spirit and execution than Super manages to be and was much more enjoyable.

Rainn Wilson plays an everyman schlub improbably married to Liv Tyler, a recovering drug/alcohol addict.
Tyler is seduced and spirited away by Kevin Bacon, a sleazy nightclub owner who deals drugs on the side.
After a few humiliating confrontations with Bacon, Wilson has a truly unsettling religious vision and decides to confront evil as a superhero, The Crimson Bolt.

The movie's few glimpses of the humor/pathos come as The Bolt begins his quest for justice ( he spends hours behind a dumpster, waiting for a crime to occur nearby) but after a semi-promising beginning, The Bolt turns psycho instead of super and the weirdness begins.

The Bolt is joined by Boltie, the obligatory sidekick, played by Ellen Page.
Page works in a comic book store and is consulted by Wilson as he tries to craft his superhero persona. She figures out what is going on and barges in on Wilson's revenge.
She is even more psychotic than The Crimson Bolt.

Given the cast and the premise, one could forgiven for expecting a more light-hearted and "fun" movie...Super is neither.
The violence is excessive and surprisingly graphic.
The main characters are unlikable and weird.

Super sucks.

The opening title of Radiohead I don't think suits the story but after that there is a powerful drama with Lebanon civil war in the background.

Schindler's List (1993)

I remember watching it a few years after it came out. But I was young at the time and didn't really pay attention to it (or really care, I suppose). After watching it again I have to say it's fantastic. Quite long though at just over three hours. I'll even admit near the end, when Oscar Schindler had to flee after the war was over and he began to break down and cry, I did as well. Powerful movie.

The three friends leave where they get stranded and crash land in Africa. While the penguins fix the plane the Giraffe, Hippo and Lion remake the events in the Lion King 1-2. As I was watching it I couldn't help but notice the political references throughout the film then it was confirmed in the scene where the Liberal Penguins had to negotiate with the Unionist Monkeys to rebuild the plane.

Btw speaking of megabyteme gheys ,Amber Heard is a lesbian and I would say that is a terrible waste if I had the slightest ,merest,tiniest chance of ever getting in her pants if she were straight.Anyway she came out only recently so I'm assuming it's all Nicholas Cage's fault.

Last couple of moviefilms that I watched where Fighting with that guy that oddly doesn't seem to have a first name ,Channing Tatum and Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron so apparently I'm into my dreamboat phase .
I'd actually seen Fighting before and hadn't thought too much of it but the second time around I liked it a lot better probably because I wasn't paying so much attention to the story and could appreciate what Terrence Howard was doing more.
Sort of a Midnight Cowboy(ish) but instead of hustling and drugs they substituted MMA and a painfully obvious plotline.

On the other hand Charlie St. Cloud is the kind of sentimental pap that I strangely enjoy and Efron as proven by movies like Orson and Me isn't a bad actor but three quarters of the way of through the thing starts getting overly religious and what was formerly a enjoyable waste of time becomes annoying . To me it seemed that the writers came up with the characters first and in the end couldn't find a way to hang an entire movie around them.
Basically I'm say avoid this one unless you think Season of the Witch was underrated.

IdolEyes, when I said that I was mentally deficient, I was implying that I didn't know how to start a relationship with a normal woman (someone who's not a prostitute). Maybe I should have said "socially deficient"; I dunno...
Anyway, I did find "Season of the Witch" entertaining. Now I am playing to watch "True Grit".

Nice one idol!

As someone who once considered a career in prostitution, I take offense to your claim that prostitutes aren't "normal".
Many of my best friends have been in the "game" and we frequently gather at Sbarro to relive the good...and yes, NORMAL...times we had.
The nice businessman who escorted me to Senior Prom later became a close acquaintance and even attended my Confirmation (I gave him a discount that day!).

Now that I'm an elderly man, those carefree- and let me emphasize again...NORMAL!- days are but wistful memories and I'm pained that you so carelessly besmirch them.
"Social" deficiency is no excuse for such a judgemental attitude.

And your taste in movies sucks.
In the normal way.

Okay, clocker, I apologize. I didn't actually mean what I said. Prostitutes are normal; however, what's not normal is not knowing how to get a girlfriend. As far as I know, most guys have sex with their girlfriends or wives, but not with prostitutes, right?

Given the option, I much prefer sex with other men's wives and girlfriends, so I see your point.
Prostitutes are fine when you have the spare $5 (usually around Christmas in my case...) but free nookie is obviously the optimal outcome.

Perhaps you simply need to refine your search algorithm a bit...say, eliminate the word "living" from the parameters.

I hear Bruce Cockburn is big with the elderly manwhores.

[clocker]

With that name is it a surprise?

[IdolEyes787]

You know I'm just sitting here blithely minding my own business listening to Ten Inch Nails and Finger Eleven and watching a little Hello Kitty while eating hot dogs and tacos and there you go sexualizing everything.

Must be something wrong with you.

There is and I plan on starting a thread about it so we can all discuss the various ramifications of my illness.
I'd like you to moderate it.
