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

The Blindness

I vote with clocker, can we just go ahead and change the effing title of the thread already.

Sorry
5/10

Taken, 3/10, Good God, what was I thinking.

I mean, really, everyone knows Liam Neeson sux bawls.

Don't they?

No but he has a total inability to play menacing and ironically that seems to be the only type of role he gets nowadays.

No this would be ironic.

No, I'm quite sure I meant "ironic", but only relative to my re/over-use of the phrase "Good God, what was I thinking."

This from another thread, you see.

Actually not referring to Mr. Neeson in that instance.

Clocker gave it 7.5/10, BTW.

I was being ironic.

Pulse (1987)
Pink Floyd at Earls Court, London.

The band that defined, and still exemplifies, "arena rock"-Pink Floyd has it all, great musicianship , fabulous sound quality and the be-all-end-all light show.

Absolute crap video quality- probably video instead of film- but oddly, it almost doesn't matter...the distortion and fuzziness perfectly replicates the state I was in the only time I saw them live (Animals tour).

Consumed with a healthy splash of Myer's Rum and a dollop of hash, this concert film reinforces my belief that Floyd are the greatest band ever.
Plus, I was really fucked up...which probably helps.

10/10.

Actually I watched two movies last night

40 Days and 40 Nights 8/10 pretty awesome romantic comedy
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243736/

and

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa 8/10 I love those penguins
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479952/

The.Haunting.Of.Molly.Hartley.R5.LINE.XViD-mVs 7/10

Miracle at St. Anna

It was pretty crappy. I didn't even bother to finish it.

Australia ... 8/10

Agreed, but surely you remember watching the flawless remaster on DVD while visiting my compound?

Call it 11/10.

Also, the datage on your VHS version most be smudged - the Pulse performance was from 1994, I believe, and the DVD remaster appeared in 2005.

The 1987 you see on your tape box dates from the post-Roger Waters court victory won by Gilmour, Mason and Wright for the rights to "Pink Floyd".

Hancock. It was ok, but I'm kinda disappointed

25th hour

mob movie if you like them you should see it :D

Any movie with Levon Helm is an instant win.

Frozen River- Melissa Leo.

Ms. Leo should win the Oscar for her performance...she won't, but she should.

A down-and-out single mom in upstate New York partners up with a young, troubled Indian girl to make money by smuggling illegals over the US/Canadian border.
It doesn't go well.

This film almost comes across as a documentary, so lacking in the technical artifice that we usually see even in the plainest of Hollywood films.
Everyone looks and acts exactly like I'd imagine the characters really are...no artificial glamour or unnecessary staging.
Hard choices must be made, bad decisions sometimes happen and no one looks heroic in the process.

Grittily depressing but strangely uplifting at the same time- you get the feeling that everything will work out eventually although the film's ending does not make this at all clear.

What people will do for a new doublewide.

If Academy Awards really went to the best performances Melissa Leo would win hands down.
Unfortunately subtlety and believability have never been high on the list on things that get someone an Oscar.

Get yourself in a good Holocaust,anti-religion or handicap of the week movie , shamelessly chew the scenery and wake up with the little golden fellow on Monday.

Still Leo might win if the Academy conservatives were offended by Winslet's naughty bits.

Dunno how "ripped from the front page" it is (I don't read newspapers from upstate NY) but Frozen River is certainly a human interest story that doesn't try to extract large truths from small events (if that's what you're into, see Body of Lies).

For some reason, after watching River, I wondered what Changeling might have been had Leo been cast instead of Jolie.
Certainly different, and I suspect, better.

Role Models- Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott.

A totally formulaic movie that's absolutely hilarious.
OK, if not hilarious at least very funny.

Once the plot begins to unwind you can totally ignore it...you know how everything will end up, no cliche will be denied it's place in the sun.
Doesn't matter though, the cast carries this off flawlessly and there are some great throwaway lines.

All movies don't have to be great, uplifting events- sometimes you just want to chow down on some popcorn, hear some potty mouthed kids and have a few laughs.
Oh yeah, and boobs...gotta have some boobs.

Well, step right up, here's the movie for you.
And today, for me.

Quarantine and god it was crap

Valkyrie

role models. it was halarious

valkyrie
rate 7/10. not bad, not good. ;(

Quarantine - good movie..ending was a nice change from the norm

Lakeview Terrace - pretty good movie..nice twist on racism

The Meat Train - ok film..not great but watchable

Shutter 5/10

Rolemodels - 5/10

I sure didn't like the all the roleplaying stuff in the movie :| But the little black guy was funny as shit.

Zodiac

Great movie , a reporter actually a cartoon guy from a newspaper gets obsessed with this killer .

8.5/10
