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

[Maximus One]

This Is 40. Damn good and freaking HILARIOUS.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

2.5/5

I almost don't want to see Looper after finding out the director/producer/writer/actor of Primer was asked to be an advisor for the time travel elements. Both Back to the Future and Terminator did it perfectly fine. This film was terribly written and just a complete mess that didn't explain much of anything well. A lot of people say you need to watch this multiple times to fully get everything, some even say you might need to take notes to follow the timeline. Um, no. One watch was enough.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Killing Them Softly 10/10

Is was good, right?! I wasn't expecting much because I'd heard very little about, and what I had heard wasn't too complimentary. It's a neat movie but if nothing else, absolutely worth watching for that final line. It was beautifully done.

Inspired by my recent visit, I watched...

Escape from Alcatraz

 

[Lencho01]

The Fifth Element.

 

[rnewbz]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 10/10

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Halloween (with commentary)
Blade II

 

[Gianakin_]

Bel Ami - Couldn't finish it/10

Get the Gringo - Mel Gibson might of lost it , but can still give a good perfromance. It's a decent action vehicle and kind of makes me want to see a Lethal Weapon 5.

The Siege - It's kind of scary how prophetic this film is.

Apollo 13- Not as riveting after seeing it so many times , but it still holds up as a good film. I wish they would make more like it.

Jeff Who Lives At Home- 7/10. Not great, but not awful either. The sub-plot with the mother was 100% useless to the story though.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Rio

Evil birds poop on you and blame Seagulls. Nooooooh, them are innocent
It's a bad movie with certain funny moments

 

[Snow Queen]

Transformers 3-2/10

 

[Lex Luthor]

Natural Born Killers - Directors Cut

 

[CapedCrusader14]

The Impossible - 4.5/5

A nail-biting, raw, natural and moving film. I cried quite a few times for different reasons. The entire film feels natural and at times, horrifyingly real. Fantastic performances from all actors in the film. Naomi Watts deserves her nomination and Ewan deserves a nomination. The Tsunami sequence was edge of your seat material. Really, it's just a brilliant film.

Hey, if not getting the timeline in this movie makes me an idiot, so be it. I think the writer/director is full of **** personally and tried too hard.

He said he didn't want to dumb it down "for the sake of the audience."

Tell me, what is the percentage of the audience that knows that ****? A movie should draw you in, not baffle you by its jargon.

Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge- 7/10

Jeff Who Lives At Home- 7/10. Not great, but not awful either. The sub-plot with the mother was 100% useless to the story though.

I respectfully disagree. The mother's story ran counter to Jeff's. As he found maturity and accepted responsibility of being an adult his mother's story illustrated the opposite effect. Ergo, once you've done the adult thing and raised the kids and owned a home and worked your butt off in a office for years, it's okay to let go and be a little immature. She earned it, basically.

At least, that's what I got from it.

Hadn't seen since it hit DVD and I could barely remember it. There's so much to like in this movie that I wish I could more easily accept the conceit. It's well acted, it has snappy dialogue, it's propulsively cut, and director Rian Johnson knows how to tell a story thru visuals and sound design, but I cannot get past how goofy the film-noir-goes-to-high-school premise is. It's just silly. Setting it in high school doesn't add anything that resonates thematically.

Black Christmas (2006)

I loved it, and I can't believe that. It's fun, stylish, eye-poppingly gory without being cruel, it has victims that you actually kinda like, and it's shot amazingly. The colors and the camera movements are vibrant and inventive without being garish or irritating. It's so refreshing to see an approach like that in a genre that is so frequently grey and grimy. Put this one down as a horror remake I flat out loved.

 

[Hunter Rider]

More absurd than usual given they don't give the lead character a job that puts him into the frame to do what he does. The fights are really well shot and show off Speakman's Kenpo skills but he looks like a dad from a sitcom. 4/10



A muddled mess of ideals with horribly edited fight scenes. 2/10

 

[Figs]

3.5/5

The Impossible. 10/10


It's a great film about a family seperated by the 2004 Thailand Tsunami. It's very intense , gripping , and the effects make it look realistic. Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts give great performances. Also the young actor playing the oldest son goes a good job. Seeing the disaster and the aftermath is very disturbing.

Django Unchained

200 Cigarettes
