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

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
8/10

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
It was surprisingly good actually, and the mocking they gave tv was sugar on top.

Outlander 7/10

Slumdog Millionaire
7/10

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 10/10

Slumdog Millionaire. Qute good. 9/10

OK, PEOPLE! LISTEN UP!

At ease, please.
Now that I have your attention, we need to talk.
All you people who are attaching a rating- like 9/10- to your "reviews"...and, let's be honest here, hardly any of these are actually reviews at all, are they?...your rating means NOTHING if we don't know what you think a ten is.

So if your post looks like this...

...you have effectively said ziltch except that you viewed the film.

So please, either write a brief description of your reaction to the film or just list the title but stop with the meaningless "x out of 10" shorthand.

Now, back to whatever you were doing.

I disagree Clocker, it is instantly gratifying when they do that as i can instantly judge them in return.

The dude is ok, but is incapable of seeing the pathetic attempt multi political & social depth of the masterpiece, or is simply manic depressed.

The person loves Brad, is glad to see him in some meaningful role other than pure hawtness and is still trying to understand the logic of the film.

Presently watching Underworld Lycans.... that should say enough about me...

That was my whole point though...I don't see how you can arrive at any relative comparison at all.

For instance, my idea of a ten might be Citizen Kane, yours might be Dumb and Dumber...if we both rate Slumdog Millionaire as a 7, what does that say to a third party who isn't aware of our preferences?

Basic Instinct I

Indeed Clocker, but it shows that both evils manage to find an agreement.
When they do humanity has found zen.

btw. This thread officially does not ask for "reviews", anything more than a label of a movie is a step in the right direction.

I thought this was the lounge thread...:pinch:

Underworld rise of lycans = 0/100
(just for clkr - an emo romeo & juliet with bad cgi, inconsistencies the size of its plot holes)

Just kinda throwing that against the wall to see if it will stick...Idol did it and became a mod, so why not me?

This thread also does not officially require brain activity either.
Just sayin.

Say it ain't so- inconsistencies in a movie about vampires and werewolves?
The best I'm hoping for is a few "WTF, how can that be...Oh look! Rhona Mitra's ass!" moments.
And she'd better have a world-class ass, too...Ole Kate certainly did.

If frustrated, i suggest this as a vent.

You want to be a mod?!?!?!?!?! Yes it could work,
hmmmmm yes it could but it has nothing to do with the plot.

A Scanner Darkly
7/10

Milk

Rachel Getting Married.

Just to get it out of the way- yes, Rachel does indeed get married.

This is not a movie in the ways movies today are traditionally defined.
There is no plot, no real beginning, middle and end...nothing blows up and there are no robots.
Instead, this film immerses us in the experience of a wedding weekend, held in a rambling house in the (obviously well-to-do) Connecticut suburbs.
There are lots of people around, only a few of them formally introduced and seemingly, non-stop live music.

Technically, the film is a mishmash of styles- some scenes are formally presented, others feel like a cell phone camera wending through the crowd.
We do learn- more by osmosis than anything else- some of the family's history but the wedding itself is the real center of the film.

I'd like to attend a party like this one- not as a principal player, just an attendee.
The food looked good, lots of spirits flowed and the people were friendly and inviting.
Spend a few hours, have a good time then leave the family to sort out their dramas as best they can.
Which is exactly what this movie does.

An interesting way to spend a few hours.

Gran Torino

I thought Eastwood played a good part, I liked the toughness of the guy and he was funny in small parts. The beating of the Chinese girl was rather shocking, I found that a little disturbing. But the worst part was the ending, it took me by surprise and i didnt like it. I thought he should have opened a can of whoop-ass or something. Overall it was moving in various parts so i'd give it 7.5/10

Thank you for spelling the title correctly, yevgeny.

If possible you might want to rewatch the movie and see if the ending doesn't make more sense to you the second time around.
80 year old men have pretty much emptied their whoop-ass cans and to suddenly reanimate as Dirty Harry might have been initially more satisfying, in the long run it would have been too easy.

Maybe.

Yes man

I watched Gran Torino as well - about five times, in fact (I took it to work; my guys are all movie buffs).

Very good movie (I'll say 9/10) with lots of social import; Eastwood's character ends up embodying honor, integrity, and redemption.

Better with each viewing, truth.

Also watched The Wrestler; good flick (8/10), moves quickly and doesn't dwell on minutiae (e.g., his daughter's lesbianism is naught but another factor in the main protagonist's alienation from his daughter).

Good entertainment that makes you think a bit.

BTW-

Welcome back, Mickey Rourke, from fifteen or so years in limbo.

Lace up your skates and make more good movies, why don't you.

The Hurt Locker 2008 ... 7/10

Rachel Getting Married - 8.5 / 10

The Long Kiss Goodnight(1996)

2/10
No doubt what would result if a distaff amalgamation of The Bourne Identity,Die Hard and Under Siege were directed by a chimpanzee.
And seeing that it was directed by Renny Harlin not far from the truth.

Not totally without merit though because at least it dispels the myth that Samuel L. Jackson has only lately become a bad actor.

Just saw Bottle Shock it was pretty and it's based on a true story :)

7.5/10
