What's The Last Movie You Watched? VIII - Part 4

[Dark Victory]

Black Moon is something else...a French New Wave version of Alice in Wonderland maybe. I've only see one other Malle film, Elevator to the Gallows, and I've been meaning to check out more, especially Zazie.

Haha, so I've heard.

Man Who Fell to Earth - 9/10

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - 9/10

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Source Code. Not bad but doesn't worth the price of a theater ticket IMO.

 

[Punisher Rising]

10/10

[Panthro]

John Carpenter's THE THING (1982)

 

[Yodaman]

7.5/10

 

[Doctor Jones]

I agree. I loved their final confrontation in the book, but it was a ton of exposition and I think it ran the risk of dragging on in a movie. I kind of liked that Harry tried to explain it to him (and he sounded scared ****less as he tried), but just like in the book, Voldemort didn't want to hear it.

Voldemort was never going to understand. But Harry finally did, and that was more important in the long run.

Yup. And that's why it wouldn't work for a movie. It's just exposition. How do you cut exposition and make is understandable when we've already be shown what Harry said in the books? There's no point.

[Prison Mike]

Limitless - 8/10

 

[Dark Victory]

The Apartment - 10/10

The most mainstream Kafkaesque movie I've seen. The loss of individuality and personal integrity for the upper echelon is apparent as the movie's sense of loneliness and manic confusion in a busy metropolis. Wilder plays these grave ideas to great comedy (Lemmon scrambling around his office desk confirming appointments at his home) and sadness (MacLaine's soliloquoy in bed after her [blackout]attempted suicide[/blackout]) with immersive deep space, both in the never-ending office buildings and Lemmon's departmental home, which he picked up from Renoir and would go on to Kubrick and from there on. Great, great movie.

Waterworld. I have only seen it a hand full of times and have enjoyed it, every time. The action scenes work really well and with a lot of it being practical I think the spectacle is greater than it was when it was released back in 1995

 

[Dark Victory]

The Informant - 9/10

 

[Doctor Jones]

The Ladykillers - 6/10

I don't know if I just witnessed genius or utter stupidity. But from what I watched, I didn't really care for it. And this is coming from a Coen Brothers fan. I laughed a some points, but I just couldn't get into it. Had it not been for the last 20 minutes, I wouldn't have liked this at all.

 

[tzarinna]

The Hangover.

 

[childeroland]

That's nice and all and works for the book, but you do realize, it's just them circling eachother with a lot of dialogue. What a bore to watch on film.

I disagree. Done right, it would have made a killer climax, even if they put in a bit of fighting not in the book.
