What's the Last Movie You Watched?

Pretty good

I kind of don't wanna watch the sequel.

I watched both of these yesterday.

In chronological order...

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).

In Bruges = auto-thanks from me.

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.

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 :bow:


Damn those 2 movies were good...

They were both equally amazing.

I'm determined to live my life like them and not make the same mistakes.

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).

Predators - Fake Christian Bale Batman voiced Adrien Brody/10

Watched more movies...

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...

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.

The Red Shoes



Tragic how much better this could've been. The pacing was bad.

 

[Palooza]

Captain America: The First Avenger - Acting and characterization = meh, but the visuals and action were top notch/10

 

[SHOGUN]

Dinner for Schmucks

A bit underwhelming, but had a few laugh out loud bits / 10

 

[Houston]

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington



James Stewart is the man.

Where you captivated to watch this via Marty Scorcese on that American Film Restoration Ad at the beginning of all BluRay films?

btw - I'm going to re-watch the entire AFI 100 Years 100 Movies in their BluRay update. Gonna try and churn this one out in a year (or before Warner2BruceTD finishes his Top 100 wrestlers, whichever comes first). I looked through the list and the last time I saw a lot of them was on VHS (lol).

Think its time for a thorough revisiting of some of the essential films of cinema in their most pristine quality.

To blog about in VSN and MFC or NOT to blog about it on VSN and MFC, that is the question.

lol never seen that before, I got it from these 2 list.

The rankings from the Empire list suck but I can't deny they have a ton of foreign films I never would've heard of if it weren't for it.

Nice spot to find a film whenever I'm looking.

I've actually been doing the same thing right now, minus the BluRay.

In the last month and a half or so I've seen 22 films from AFI's 10 Anniversary list that I haven't seen before. Also some other ones considered classics that aren't on the list. i.e. The Red Shoes

I suggest blogging about it, discussion on movies is always good :yep:

I watched Trainspotting on a whim since I haven't seen it for a while and wanted to see if I liked it better than 127 Hours. I am still not sure.


Y Tu Mamá También was very good. Maribel Verdú's performace was great. I haven't seen very many of his performances but just looking at the body of work of Gael García Bernal it seems that he is very underrated and unheralded for the numerous high-quality movies he's in.

Just watched Passion Play with Megan Fox. Pretty decent movie.

 

[strahanfan92]

Watched Crazy, Stupid, Love. Really fucking good.
