What's the Last Movie You Watched?

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* - :5star:

Surprisingly balanced and insightful, but ultimately very depressing in a sense. When his host starts talking about steroids use in his family with his parent was a bit emotional, especially when his father pretty much predicted what would happen to Mad Dog.

Don't know if you heard or not, but Mad Dog died pretty soon after the documentary was released.

Mike Bell from Bigger, Stronger, Faster Found Dead - Film Junk

What's odd is they say he was clean 60 days prior to his death and an immediate cause of the death was not found. Don't know if they ever found out why he exactly died.

Source Code - Best film of the year, so far. Very strong.

 

[Solidrob]

Just watched.

Solid movie.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Watched The Men Who Stare at Goats and MacGruber.

Enjoyed both immensely.

 

[Atlas]

watched Hanna and Arthur today...

Hanna reminded me a bit of films like Run Lola Run and Leon, and it was a very entertaining movie with some nice fight scenes (the fight in the dockyard is pretty sweet, especially the knife work), but I didn't particularly enjoy the ending... Still a good movie though...

I didn't expect much going into see Arthur, and the first five to ten minutes were shit, but the movie got progressively better... Mirren and Brand have a good repartee with one another, and once the story started rolling along, I thoroughly enjoyed it (the scene at the end with the kids at the book reading is hilarious)...

Finally watched Inception (bluray). 9/10

Pretty confusing but equally amazing. The audio and special effects were pretty damn stellar.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Watched Waiting for Superman.

Everyone needs to see this documentary. Well produced and highly informative.

Green Street Holligans

I watched this some time ago but its rerunning now on Starz or something. Really good.

 

[SHOGUN]

Dick Tracy - :3star:

Al Pacino as a hammy villain FTW.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Hereafter - So close to being really good, but after two hours, it fails to get that emotional attachment or "bring it home" so to speak to make it a worthwhile drama. You keep waiting for something to "happen" but nothing does. A shame, as the premise is really good and something we all can relate to in some way. It was seemingly a road to no where, the film, which, may have been the point *shrugs*

 

[manchild24]

Tombstone - Val Kilmer is fucking great in that. Im your Huckelberry.

 

[padman59]

Tropa de Elite 2: O Inimigo Agora É Outro - Good film. As good or better than its predecessor. While the first focused on the the problems with police force in Rio, this one focuses on how the institutions and elected officials of Brazil have led to corruption. There is still a fair amount of action, but it is not as much of the focus of the film as it was previously.

 

[Palooza]

Scream - Brilliantly self aware/10
Scream 2 - tried too hard/10
Scream 3 - just plain dumb/10
Scream 4 - not impressed/10
Source Code - fucking genius; best movie of 2011 thus far/10
Your Highness - not as funny as I wanted it to be/10
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Arguably the best movie of the 2000s/10
Cyrus - With John C Reilly and Jonah Hill, it should have been funnier but beyond that it was solid/10
The Strangers - lol @ Dennis Reynolds/10

My problems with the Scream franchise -

 

It's the same god damn thing over and over again.
Scream - Dewey, Gail, Sidney and Randy live.
Scream 2 - Dewey, Gail, Sidney and Cotton live. Randy dies in the middle of the movie.
Scream 3 - Dewey, Gail, Sidney and Detective McDreamy live. Cotton dies in the opening.
Scream 4 - Dewey, Gail, Sidney and annoying Deputy live. Detective whoever is nowhere to be found.

Can we get some variety? I'm not saying kill them all, I'm not saying kill any of them, but in FOUR god damn movies none of the 3 main characters die, even when they are completely incompetent throughout?

Can we also stop killing ALL the likable characters (making them villains is fine, but can we get a cool character who survives?! - Stu, Randy, Mickey, Kirby, Charlie all die or become villains and happen to be the only characters I've ever actually liked.

With Scream 4 in particular - the ending just killed me (ha ha!). They should have let Jill get away with it. Her injuring herself in the house was extremely entertaining and I don't think in the way Wes Craven intended.

Starsky and Hutch (2004) - Wonderfully self-aware. This is how remakes should be done.

Stranger Than Fiction - Really enjoyed this, even if the plot was a bit trite.

I really would have loved to see Cox eat it in Scream 4 but unfortunately she did not. I too was dumbfounded by all three surviving at the end. I thought it would have been better if they really did end it with Jill winning. Really would go against Hollywood norm and a big fuck you to the hero. The thing I loved so much about Scream 4 though is they pulled a Drew Barrymore. With Scream 4, I bet everyone, myself included, thought Jill would be the new Sydney and the older cast was passing on a torch for a new trilogy with these new teens, but instead Craven kills every single new character and completely pulls something out of his ass. It could have been better, but I feel its a shit ton better then any slasher flick that has made its way onto film in the last 10 years.

I've made quite a bit of progress on my movie excel thing. I'm not close to being done, but right now I've seen about 690 movies and there are about 750 I want to see.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I streamed Hobo with a Shotgun last week, it was excellent.

Delicatessen was also great.

Mystery Team was really funny in an immature way.

District B13 had sick action sequences.

Trick r' Treat was not great.

Last House on the Left (1972) was not very good either.

White Men Can't Jump - classic.

The Exam- stupid ending.

The Experiment - sucked.

Amos & Andrew - shit.

A Prophet - I underestimate the French's filmmaking abilities.

Robocop - fuck yeah.
