"Sometimes I just want to be with my family and watch movie and eat some popcorn. But when I step on the mat I know there is no other place I'd rather be." - Marcelo Garcia
Let's play a game. I will describe two movies. One is real, and i'm watching it right now. The other is fake, completely made up.
MOVIE A: Bob the Butler (2005) - A novice manservent takes a job with a neurotic single mother and her mischievous children. Hilarity ensues. Starring Tom Green and Brooke Shields.
MOVIE B: On the Ball (2009) - Twin sisters scam their way on to a professional women's basketball team...as one player! Hijinks ensue. Starring Tia Mowry, Tamara Mowry, and Robert Townsend.
OK so I really sat and watched Memento from beginning to end or end to beginning without any interruptions. I never watched it because I never heard of it before (when you have a five year old its all Disney movies)
I really did like it, got a "little" annoyed with seeing the same stuff over and over again. But a great movie.
Paul - Really enjoyed it. Pegg and Frost really know how to do a funny movie with heart that avoids easy cliche.
High Fidelity - Can't believe I'd never seen this. A little sappy, but considering how much I love music, I relate so much of my life to the music I was listening to at the time. Very relatable.
In Bruges - First half is one of the best black comedies I've ever seen. Second half is an excellent action/suspense/thriller. Fucking fantastic film.
Before Sunrise - Stunning. Beautiful. Poetry on film.
Before Sunset - Incredible. Very realistic portrayal of love nearly a decade later. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I wanted to cry, but I wrote drunken poetry instead (not kidding).
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - I want to re-do my 100 favorite movies list and haven't seen it for a long time so I watched it to re-establish it's ranking. I really love this movie.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Disappointed with this one, it was entertaining enough but did not really hit me very hard as a classic.
On the Shoulders of Giants - Meh.
127 Hours - First time I've seen it since I saw it in the theater. I've never started crying from a movie but I had tears in my eyes at the end even though I've seen it before.
Before Sunrise - Stunning. Beautiful. Poetry on film.
Before Sunset - Incredible. Very realistic portrayal of love nearly a decade later. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I wanted to cry, but I wrote drunken poetry instead (not kidding).
I just watched Before Sunset the other day, I must say I like it better then the first one.
The part at the end when she played him that song she wrote
Take Me Home Tonight - a great big fun comedy. Topher Grace in the lead is good and his sidekick Dan Fogler was hilarious (can't wait to see him as Sam Kinison for HBO, you could see some eery similarities in some scenes in this film even).
Gran Torino - Meh. Eastwood was great, but everyone else kind of sucked (except for Sue). I felt like the ending was very obvious, but I guess it's better than it being an all-out action flick.
The Millennium Trilogy: ...Dragon Tattoo was awesome. Lots of intrique and code-breaking/puzzle-solving. The action was very realistic and not over-the-top.
...Played With Fire was the weakest of the three. Niedermann may just be the shittiest villain I've ever seen on film. What a bore until the last twenty minutes or so. I will forgive it for being the middle-third.
...Kicked the Hornet's Nest was awesome as well. Tons of political intrigue. Connecting the dots of the entire series was really cool, even if they did kind of just jam some of it in at the very end.
I am excited for the US version, but already I can see where it might get stupid. Craig is far too handsome and muscular for the role of Blomqvist. We shall see...
Gran Torino - Meh. Eastwood was great, but everyone else kind of sucked (except for Sue). I felt like the ending was very obvious, but I guess it's better than it being an all-out action flick.
This is one of my biggest disagreements for me as far as most people I know really liking this movie. The acting was terrible by almost everyone and there were stereotypes up the asshole with every character.
The Crying Game - Talk about a unique fucking premise/10
Blue Velvet - This is the first David Lynch film I've enjoyed, although I've only seen Mulholland Dr. and part of Eraserhead, and I was almost definitely too young to appreciate them at the time.
