What's The Last Movie You Watched? - - Part 19

[Nightwing 52]

Once Upon A Time In Mexico

 

[Doctor Jones]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I found it interesting for most of the beginning but it quickly falls into irritating for me at the end. The main character just didn't do it for me, once it got to the end when they were begging sympathy from the audience. Performance wise, all of them did great with what they had. I can see why a lot of people love this story but it isn't for me.
6/10

White People Problems: The Movie.

Side By Side

A very interesting documentary on the film vs digital debate by some of the great directors and cinematographers. It offers a lot of insight on the history of film and most importantly the history of digital. I feel like both sides have good points but it seems like the side of digital is more appealing to me. I do appreciate Chris Nolan and Pfister trying keep film but the way they act towards digital seems very smug. All and all it's something for people who love watching films to see.
9/10

To me, those two are just cherry picking now. I love film and respect it and don't mind if it stays around longer, but these two guys come off as way too biased.

I'll laugh if Pfister has to shoot Transcendence digitally.

Yeah, they sound like two old geezers who are afraid of change. lol

And yeah I also don't mind if film stays because I don't believe in sticking to one single format. I love IMAX, 3D, and now 48 fps if used in a proper movie.

Just don't ask Quentin Tarantino what he thinks about everything. He's even worse than Nolan. Much worse.

 

[Rum Runner]

Tarantino's love for traditional film is interesting, the way he describes why he loves it. Can't remember the exact quote but it was something along the lines of it being magic, how film is basically thousands of still photographs formed into a moving image or some such.

Should have stuck to being a crocodile movie. 4/10

Army Of Darkness (Screwhead Edition)

Cloud Atlas

?/10

heh, I laugh because I almost wanted to give it that score as well.

Haha, originally the picture didn't show up, so I thought The Big Year would've been better as a crocodile movie.

Skyfall (2012)

I'm glad I got to see this in the theatre one more time. Roger Deakins absolutely deserves an Oscar win for cinematography. Creating the most visually rich with the most beautiful shot composition film, in a year where The Grey, Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises and Cloud Atlas came out is an achievement in itself.

The story is simple, yet more effective than if it had been a complex mess of traps and plans by Silva. A personal story of Bond trying to prove his worth told on a huge scale.

At this point, I don't even care if the next Bond is weak sauce. If the odd numbered Craig films can be as awesome as Casino Royale and Skyfall, the crap ones would be worth it.

Fire with Fire (2012)

Meh. Unless you're a Bruce Willis completist like me, don't even bother. I'm still not sure why I even bothered. How do you have an action movie where Bruce Willis has a desk job? He does get to beat up a nazi twice his size while maintaining his smirk but that's it. Avoid.

El Gringo (2012)

This was pretty fun actually. Scott Adkins gets to cut loose and play a laid back humorous character and show off some charisma that he usually can't when playing angry Russians. He actually works really well with Christian Slater too. Hopefully they make other films together.

The Lord Of The Rings (1979)

Killing Them Softly

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Whatever Works
This didn't feel like a Woody Allen film, mainly due to the lack of character of New York. Still, Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood have a sweet chemistry on screen, even when the film glides of the tracks from time to time

Psycho
Anthony Perkins makes this film. Behaving like a charming gentleman one minute, to unleashing the darkness the floats near the surface. Also, is it just me, or did I see a little bit of Andrew Garfield in Perklns?

The Wizard of Oz
I'm not a musical fan, but for a 1939 film, Oz was clearly ahead of it's time. Even watching it today, it still holds up in a lot of areas (the set designs are incredible), while still maintaining pure fun.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Great characters give a sense of hope at a time of human shame, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone are brilliant and Bryce Dallas Howard is unrecognizable as a bigoted, snotty ***** who literally ends up eating **** . 7.5/10

Zero Dark Thirty

I thought the first hour was incredibly slow and for the most part uninteresting. I wasn't sure how much longer will they have to meander to get to the ending but I'm glad the movie started to pick up around the 2nd hour and then the final 30 minutes was pretty exciting. Jessica Chastain was brilliant as usual, she made sure that the film was mostly on her shoulders and she delivered it.
7.5/10

Arbitrage

It was a movie with a plot I've seen many times or at least brought up somewhere but this is one that's done well. I loved the intensity they brought into the story. Richard Gere did a fine job acting his ass off in this and not to mention Tim Roth who I wish was in more movies.
7.5/10

Rocky 2
10/10

Favorite scene is when Rocky runs and everyone is running with him
