What's the Last Movie You Watched?

Palooza, I really don't know about him...

 

There are times, like when he is being pushed in the wheel-barrel, that I don't think he is real at all. And the fact we never really see him create his work and that he can barely hang up a poster during his art show. But he is so specific and eccentric, if this is a creation of Banksy, the man is a genius. I want to find out the truth someday.

do you think he's a real person or just that - a character?

 

To me he seemed like a genuine person when I saw it in theaters, although in hindsight I'm not sure.

Thank you to those who recommended Brick. Really unique take on a detective/thriller movie, the high school element really shook things up. Because of that it was a bit hard to take seriously at times, asking "who people are eating lunch with" and whatnot.

Death Race - Pretty good action flick.

The Other Guys - Could have been a lot better. Only really liked the Lion vs Tuna part.

Inception - Fell asleep with an hour left. Didn't seem like a movie for me.

Donnie Darko - Tangent Dimension supernatural powers ftw

This is literally what I've said about The Matrix for years. I have never finished the first Matrix movie because I fell asleep every time. I love Inception, but I can understand how you feel. Awesome movie but it gets very bogged down at times with all the rules and explanations (and re-explanations) of those rules.

Minority Report - Tom Cruise needs to get back to this level, regardless of how crazy he is irl/10

I saw Tron yesterday, I was more impressed by the sound than the visuals.

[Fox1994]

Retarded, but I liked it. I thought it was really fucking funny. Just completely outrageous. Nothing really made sense, and it wasn't supposed to.

Also watched Goodfellas again. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

Art School Confidential - garbage/10

Dead Poets Society -- still damn good 8/10

Fucked up ending...that WORKS

Minority Report - Tom Cruise needs to get back to this level, regardless of how crazy he is irl/10

I think Minority Report is a seriously underrated movie.

Black Swan: 9.8/10
Black Swan is one of the finest films to be released in 2010. It’s story is one that can be dissected over and over, one of a psychological struggle, one that bridges the gap between fantasy and reality, one that is suspenseful, heartbreaking and smart. Above all, Black Swan is a film that features amazing direction and an amazing cast lead by Oscar-shoe-in, Natalie Portman.

Much of Black Swan dances around fantasy and reality; however, it is all centered on the deeper psychological sense of immersion and obsession with perfection. The film is acted to perfection, but the way in which it was shot and directed is flawless. An immeasurable amount of shots focusing on Nina include mirrors, which not only hints towards Nina’s reflection of herself and her actions versus her deeper drives, passions and desires, but also point towards the fragility and delicacy of Nina as a character. Constantly on the breaking point, these shots perfectly parallel just how overwhelmed and disconnected Nina truly is.

Just like the ballet in which she devotes herself to, Nina finds herself in an internal battle. She is obsessed with perfection of her craft; she completely devotes herself to her dance, which brings up issues within herself as she deals with the pressure from her mother who in large part is living her own dreams and passions through her daughter and the pressure to take advantage of her moment. However, subconsciously Nina just wants to escape. As opposed to her hallucinations in which her body, her own work of art, becomes flawed and stripped of the beauty that is essential for dance, Nina is constantly unknowingly inflicting damage upon herself by way of scratching her skin, trying to rid herself of her graceful body and, indirectly, her obsession with ballet.

To be blunt, Nina is so worried about perfection that it becomes all she knows. She loses her grip on reality and everything else becomes white noise. Her sexual frustrations come center stage as does her relationship with her mother. She is the ballet; able to reflect both the white and black swan. Innocence becomes chaos. Immersion becomes her downfall.

Natalie Portman has to win Best Actress. No ifs, ands or buts. She has to.

Great review of Black Swan, I am seeing it tonight, after that, I am very excited to see it.

[Buzzman]

The more and more I think about it, which I never thought would happen, Black Swan might actually top Inception as best movie of the year for me.
