What was the last movie you watched? Part 2

[3rdstone]

Blood Simple (1984)

I watched this in late 80s and somehow never got around for a rewatch, even though I've been thinking about it during decades. This is actually the second time only. Weird, huh? I'd forgot most of the story, but remembered how I thought I'd look out for more from these Coen Brothers, they seemed quite.. promising? Miller's Crossing is another one i haven't watched since back at the cinema, and is high on the rewatch list.

Anyhows, damn such a great rewatch this was. We get great acting from John Getz and Dan Hedaya (whom I actually don't remember from anything else?). We also get to see a young Frances McDormand in her first Coen brothers' flick (yeah, their first as well..), who also of course delievers with an adorable Southern accent and all. And, then there's M. Emmet Walsh (who sadly passed away last year). Whenever he turns up he goddamn devours the scenes. RIP.

A really tense noir/thriller/murder story closer in athmospere to e.g. No Country For Old Men than their lighter stuff like The Big Lebowski, Arizona Junior etc, still though having a couple of dark humour moments. IMHO an excellent debut, and I dare to say highly recommended even regardless if you're a fan or not of other Coen flicks. And oh, how I miss when great tense movies like this could have a perfect runtime of 95 mins.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Rough first hour but Tom Cruise and crew lock in afterwards to deliver a slobberknocker of a finale.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

A ★★★½ review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

Oh, so that's why Mr. Milchick has a leather jacket and a motorcycle. A mixed bag "finale" that feels like it spent so much time deliberately recapping and reminiscing the franchise rather than finishing the story it sets up in Dead Reckoning. This does have the unfortunate problem like a lot of...

Greyhound (2020)

Damn good movie covering a mostly overlooked area of WWII.

Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning (slow at start as said above but the other 80% was AWESOME)
Open Water (never saw it)
Replicas (cheesy but I enjoyed it)
The Invisibles (strange but entertaining)

Last Swim.
Good British indie movie about a high achieving British Iranian high school graduate with cancer. The film is about her spending the day with her friends before she plans to commit suicide at midnight. It's not as grim as it sounds. Probably one of the most accurate portrayals Londoners I have seen in a movie.

A ★★★½ review of De Humani Corporis Fabrica (2022)

Literal and figurative experimentation on display both in form and subject matter, or at least in theory. The subjects themselves are mostly random despite a detached intimacy focused on patients, copying their loopy, panicked state of mind while a more clinical angle is used for the nurses and...

This is actually my first time watching these three movies all the way through and I really enjoyed each of them especially Top Secret and The Doors. I still think his best performance was Doc Holiday in Tombstone but the guy was immensely talented and I know I'm going to really miss him.

RIP Val Kilmer!!!!

Well, that's more like it , especially after the abysmal The Final Destination.

Well acted , cleaver, and well done .

A great set of actors , and once I saw Courtney B Vance and Tony Todd, I knew I was gonna like it , and I really enjoyed it.

I won't give away the twist, to a 14 year old film, but it gave me chills.

Having now caught up with The Final Destination franchise , I'd have to say this one, is one of my favorites of the series.

I'm 20 years late to the party, but I gotta say, I really enjoyed the films.

My rankings ,of my favorites ,are

Final Destination : Bloodlines
Final Destination 5
Final Destination
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 2
The Final Destination
