What's The Last Movie You Watched? VIII - Part 2

[Darkness Falls]

Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths 8/10

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

A highly suspenseful thriller that only Polanski can craft.

5/5

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Creepshow
Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship of The Rings

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I just watched Altitude because Whiskey Tango's description got me hooked enough...the girls were hot enough and the danger good enough to get me through the ridiculousness of it all. Not a great film, but I've seen worse today.

Now I feel like I was a little over enthusiastic. But I did really like it. Maybe it had something to do with watching Hatchet (ugh, x38) the previous night.

7.5/10

A really good movie. I don't know why its taken me so long to finally watch this for the first time. Not as good as Blade Runner but its still one of the better films based on the work of Phillip K Dick.

Its a really interesting story that kept a good pace going. One characters fate was very predictable but for the most part I was impressed with all the turns the plot took and thought most of them were pretty clever.

Tom Cruise and Max Von Sydow turn in really good performances. Most of the actors are very good. I think this is one of Spielberg's better films of the 2000's.

I don't have a problem with Altitude. It was what it was. I didn't expect the...Twilight Zone...aspect to kick in and didn't really like it...and none of these people seemed to like each each other at all so I'm not sure why they were vacationing together...but again...if a low budget Horror film can just give decent horror themed action and good looking girls, its already scored some points.

Hatchet is DEFINITELY over-rated. I pretty much hated it.

I really appreciate&am into the prequel trilogy even more than before!,Perhaps overall not as"an instant classic"as the originals.....But I find them pretty damn underrated!

7.5/10

This movie was a lot of fun. Was it as good as the first one? Obviously not. It didn't match Scream 2 either. But it was a wild, wild ride that kept you guessing, laughing and occasionally had you on the edge of your seat. Most fun I've had in a theater in a long time.

'Boy A':
This is an absolute brilliant film that is utterly unpredictable and a terrific character study. There are so many moments in the film where I expected some cheesy soap-opera scenario; at one point I was expecting a character, who had an off-screen death, to "return from the dead"... thankfully that doesn't happen. The two leads, Peter Mullen and Andrew Garfield, are fantastic and Garfield steals the show as Jack.

Although this movie moves quite slow, this is the kind of movie that benefits from it thanks to it's wonderfully emotive central character. The film is one of the best character studies I've ever seen from the point-of-view of "the bad guy". Incredibly powerful.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

'Leaving Las Vegas':
I hardly know what to say about this movie. Do I like it? Yes. It's quite powerful and I love how the main character (played by Nicholas Cage) sticks to his goal from the beginning to the end which thankfully doesn't make this the "feel-good" love story. It's a love story with characters who are shattered by life beyond belief.

While I did highly enjoy this movie, and various images will continue to haunt me from it, I hate how this is the kind of film that you can only watch once and never have to watch again because there's nothing more to gain from it. I got the same feeling from 'The Wrestler' as I did with this film; the only difference is that I liked 'The Wrestler' better because at least the video quality of the DVD didn't look like the hell from butt-ugly (literally). Aside from the utter lack of replay value, this is a film worth watching, if anything, for it's pitch-perfect pair of performances from the two leads.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Howard The Duck

5/10

Its not the HTD movie I would have wanted (something more dirty, more clever, more satirical) but The Lucas produced movie wasn't as terrible as I remembered. Its an absurdly silly film with a thin plot but its fun and not meant to be taken to seriously.

I thought Lea Thompson, Tim Robbins, and Jeffrey Jones all did good work in the movie. The suit work was good but if this movie had been made today I almost wish Howard had been done as a CGI creation so he could better match his comic book counterpart.

Its really the opposite of the more interesting Gerber comics in a lot of ways but taken as its own thing the movie is ok IMO.
