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

come back africa (1959)
directed by lionel rogosin

i was so glad this has finally been released on DVD along with "on the bowery" and "good times, wonderful times" after watching a old VHS of "on the bowery" a few years ago.

this powerful 'semi-documentary' is a radical denunciation of apartheid and a painful testimony of black people's condition in south africa in the late fifties/early sixties.

lionel rogosin used people he met there as impromptu actors, playing their own roles for most of them. he had no option but to hide while directing his film since south-african government would have expelled him (and his wife) from the country. censor was very common at the time.

ps: for the record, lionel rogosin is the man who discovered miriam makeba and brought her to england where she became a famous singer.

Dogs are killers.So i felt nothing really.The movie had other problems like being slow...

Inception (2010) - I did enjoy it.Saw no problems with the movie and did not find it hard to follow, Really.So i give it a seven.It would have been a eight but enough people are giving it nines so im knocking it down a bit.

Jeepers Creepers 2 - We know all about the bad guy now and hes not scary any more.Not even close to the original.The film also gets annoying at times, Like when the almost kill him like 5 times.The only part i liked was the ending.6/10

Could not agree more about your views on Jeepers Creepers 2. Let's see what the third one is like.

Hopefully Victor Salva has a higher budget and is a bit more inventive to have more than plastic dead manikins posing as dead bodies.

get him to greek
very vice comedy and i laughed a lot when i noticed that it was the same character from forgetting Sarah marshell

Its amazing what people can get away with, If they are rich.Molesting a 12 year old and filming it to just get 15 months:/ But w/e!


Winter's Bone (2010) - Nice movie that kept me interested most of the time.I guess this is how it happens some times in the country side.7/10

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) - Kind of reminds me of crank but like...to the extreme.I can see why people would like it but it was not for me i figure, Too much garage music.6/10

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - 2010

i too just finished this and i liked it. from the same director as shaun of the dead and hot fuzz so i can see why i liked it. both of those films were great. i don't care for michael cera at all and this movie wasn't an exception, but somehow it worked. basically a broken heart comedy love story of sorts. lots of cute chics in this film and the video game theme thing that's going on was different and it kept it interesting (for me). it'll be worth another watch later down the road. ninja ddr, biff,bam,pows, and coin rewards. 7/10

Shanghai blues (1984) Tsui hark

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088097/
my rating 8/10

Very entertaining comedy with twisted plot. This is one of Tsui Hark most enjoyable, accomplished motion pictures. :) Plus, i like the soundtrack too, 80s Chinese songs

Sandler's always had the same old shtick ( Man-child hooks up with woman several miles out of his league - It has evolved a bit to include the requisite family/ kids as he's gotten older but if anything the kids only fill screen time and add nothing to the intrinsic "comedy" ) but lately - lately being for like the last decade - he's mailing it in so badly that people should boycott his movies just on principle.

Formula for a Sandler movie . Quest for hot babe , add to the mix even more moronic friends , a couple of annoying kids , maybe dog, say poopie and ball sack a few times and end it with Sandler discovering something about himself just in time to save the day.
Now give me a million dollars because I just wrote his next movie and with just as much depth and funny parts as his last one.

Btw I'm all for having hot babes in movies but Brooklyn Decker's acting in that trailer is just embarrassing and with zero chance of her showing her tits as reward for putting up with that much lack of talent , truly pointless.

Small mercy at least Rob Scheider doesn't appear to be in it.

^You can do that with almost every movie.Watch...Try it.

I tried to do it with Pi but I didn't' have much success.
