What's the Last Movie You Watched?

[Rivers17ncsu]

A great documentary to end a great series. It gives insight of what has been going down inside this case over recent years along what happened in August of 2011. It still does not leave you with a feeling of happiness or a feeling that justice has yet been served, it leaves you with a feeling of the exact opposite in a way. It was a great watch.

Contagion - Was it a decent movie? Yes. Do I have any desire to ever watch it again? No.


I downloaded basically the remainder of the films I really want to see that were made this year and will probably watch them then forget about trying to watch so many new movies.

The Guard, Melancholia, Tinker Tailor, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Cedar Rapids, Bellflower

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Really enjoyed this. I feel compelled to read the book now and watch the 1979 BBC miniseries.

Blue Valentine - **1/2

Solid workrate, but it just never got going. Lost me at points, could have eliminated a few redundant spots, felt like a never ending series of restholds. Can't call it bad, but it never reeled me in. Flat finish.

From what I hear, that sounds like real marriage.

Job well done, IMO.

With this and Up in the Air, Clooney may be slowly winning me over. Still got a long way to go though.

8/10.

Loved it, showed the Gervais/Merchant team can make the step up to Movies from TV. Ignore all the other Ricky Gervais movies, in those it's either just appearing in a cameo role or he's just starring in it and largely just reading other peoples lines. Gervais is more of a writer/director anyway, and Merchant always brings that humanity to Gervais more brutal comedy, and seems to just produce quality (the Office, Extras, Karl Pilkington and so forth).

Even though, obviously, I didn't grow up in 1970's England, the basic gist of it I could relate to being from a small dead end town in NZ that is still dominated by the freezing works, the port and agriculture.

Even if you can't relate to the story and the accents, well worth it alone for the performance of Tom Hughes (guy in the middle of the poster). If he isn't a star both in England and the States getting nominated for Oscars within 10 years i'll eat my hat.

So many movies I've/we've slept on... Warrior being another. Wow.

[Swarley]

Die Hard...it was just on AMC.

[Derrville]

Cowboys and Aliens is horrible.

[Rivers17ncsu]

yeah I loved Blue Valentine myself, one positive thing about it was it portrayed what real marriage seems to be like and isn't some candy coated hollywood love story.




6/10. It was an alright movie, good performances by both Gosling and Dunst. It is based off the real life crime case of Robert Dunst and the disappearance of his wife Kathleen, and the murders of his best friend Susan Berman (who supposedly knew what really happened to his wife), and his neighbor Morris Black. Obviously none of the characters in the movie go by the real names though.

"All Good Things" is the name of a store he and his wife owned in the 70's.

Tinker Tailor - I read the book directly before watching it so that obviously had a huge impact on how I viewed it. I really liked it overall, especially Oldman who was fantastic. Despite some unnecessary changes that didn't even simplify the story, just change it I thought it captured the atmosphere and pacing pretty well. They certainly could have spent another 10-15 minutes developing the supporting characters though.

Finally caught this, and only cause it was the only thing on at 4am.

Wrestling vernacular in a movie review.

I'm buying...for now.
