What's The Last Movie You Watched? XIII - Part 11

[craigdbfan]

Two things amaze me about The Room:

1. How Tommy Wiseau actually totally unintentionally conveys an absolute hatred and disrespect for women as a whole throughout the movie.

2. Just how disgusting that Man's body is. The sex scenes in The Room rivaled any horror movie I've ever seen for pure gruesomeness.

Today's Special

A pretty decent feel good comedy that I enjoyed a lot mostly because of they shot it at my hometown in Queens. Aasif Mandvi did a pretty good job on his performance but Naseeruddin Shah stole the show with his oozing charisma.
8.5/10

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

A well made documentary on the man behind Elmo and shows his impact in the Jim Henson's world of the Muppets. You get to see a glimpse of the world behind of puppets and the puppeteers and makes wonder how amazing it would be if someone made a biopic on Jim Henson.
8.5/10

Red Riding Hood. Sadly not nearly as good as the trailers lead me to believe.

 

[Punisher Rising]

9/10

 

[LOBO3315a]

Sucker Punch. More entertaining than I thought it was going to be.

Steven Seagal

IS

Today You Die

My new favourite Seagal film from the DTV era. It's well made enough not to be unwatchable, but still bad enough to be entertaining. The film was clearly intended for Wesley Snipes or Cuba Gooding Jr, but when Seagal joined, they never bothered to rewrite the character, so Seagal just plays him as a black man.

Life (1999)

 

[TX85]

3/5,Most of the special effects are still great and Willis/Streep&Hawn did well in their parts but everything else was"meh"even a bit more than I thought before

3.5/5

2.5/5

 

[dude stannis]

The Killer Elite (1975)

Meh. I thought a movie about James Caan and Burt Young fighting an army of Ninjas led by an ascot wearing Robert Duvall would be far more entertaining.

 

[The Morningstar]

Hellboy. It's remarkable that this movie was made for 60 million dollars. Such amazing visuals. Pearlman is brilliant as ol Red. Love this movie.

 

[Boom]

Reservoir Dogs.

 

[The Morningstar]

Hellboy 2. Haven't watched this in a couple of years, I used to prefer the first Hellboy but now i gotta change my mind. Visually spectacular, the fight scenes are great and the set/production design is some of the best i've seen. The Troll Market, with all it's creatures shows what an amazing imagination Del Toro's got. Goss' Prince Nuada is a bad ass and brilliantly realised. Johan Krauss and his rivalry with Big Red is hilarious. It's also a clever film, with well done subtexts and cool bits of symbolism.

Really underrated imo.

ACT OF VALOR

Even though the film Act Of Valor was made with the full support of the U.S. Navy and Pentagon,and

the film stars actual active-duty recruits,i wouldnt define it as a recruitment film,as many critics have over the past 2 weeks.

Directors Mike McCoy Scott Waugh present a story of what Navy SEALS experience,their dedication and courage in 2 missions:

The rescue of a a kidnapped CIA officer,and stopping some uniquely made explosives from

entering the U.S via Mexico.

The action sequences are terrific,well paced and intense.The fact that active-duty recruits are the stars of the film

and the most hyped up and big selling point of the film,you would think the directors would have at least attempted to get

stronger performances or some type of emotion from the soldiers.

I cant fault the recruits because they're not actors.I know a soldier has to disconnect from his own feelings and keep the mission

at hand at the forefront in order accomplish his mission,stay alive,and keep his fellow soldiers alive in his unit.

But when you have a scene in which a soldier is stating he may not

make it back home to his family and it comes off with the same emotion as if he just said: Hey we may not have cream for our coffee tomorrow,

thats a problem.The delivery of the dialogue is so stiff and without emotion,i began to laugh.

Then when you couple them with real actors who act with true passion and fervor ,you end up with a mismatched film.

Catch the film on cable or DVD.

Scale of 1-10 a 6½

Not as good as I remembered it.
