Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Minnie and Moskotwitz (Cassavetes) - 4/10 - I think I only liked this film a little more 8 years ago was because you are curious what happens to next. Seymour is one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever seen. So aggressive, just a jerk, weird and with the most unlikely girl. I think Cassavetes has a manic depressive episode every 5 seconds, as the films goes nuts every other few seconds, and it seems like most of his films do, but they are different, so I'll watched "Faces" and maybe "Shadows" soon.

Goodfellas (1990)

Even though I've only heard good reviews of Goodfellas, I've been reluctant to see it because it just didn't seem like my type of movie, but I'm glad that I watched it. It's not likely to make my favorites list, but I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

At almost 2-1/2 hours, it's longer than most movies, but it moves along at a nice steady pace, and it never gets boring. As expected, it has quite a bit of violence, but it's not too graphic, which made it easier to focus on the story.

The movie has great performances by the entire cast. I've never been a big fan of Ray Liotta, (who coincidentally is celebrating a birthday today), but I thought he was very good in this movie.

It's been a loooong time since I seen that one, but I did like it. Question, was that the film with the vice grip and pencil in the neck scenes? Or am I getting Casino and Bugsy confused with Good Fellas?

Nope. Thankfully, there were no pencil in the neck or vice grip scenes in Goodfellas. Iroquois posted last night that you were confusing it with Casino.

I have never liked Ray Liotta in any of the movies I have seen him in, (which is about 9) except this one, in which I thought he was excellent, which I attribute to Scorsese's direction.

The vice grip scene with Joe Pesci was Casino.

Did you see Liotta in Dominick and Eugene?

Speaking of the vice grip, one of the funniest lines ever is when Joe Pesci finally gets an answer..

Nicky Santoro: Give me the fuc*in' name!
Tony Dogs: Ch-Charlie M.
Nicky Santoro: Charlie M?
Tony Dogs: Charlie M.
Nicky Santoro: Charlie M? You made me pop your fuc&in' eye out of your head to protect that piece of ****? Charlie M? You dumb motherfu*&er!

The funny part is the "M" part... It's not even his full surname, and Pesci's reaction.. He's probably the funniest guy on the screen ever.

No, I haven't seen Dominick and Eugene, but I looked it up, and it sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.

I don't dislike Ray Liotta. I just don't think that he's anything special. I think he's just an average actor.

With all the talk of Casino, Goodfellas, and Martin Scorcese films in general, and given the time of the season, I thought some of you might enjoy this parody of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, courtesy of MADtv.

Haven't seen it yet. Do you recommend it?

Yes.

Last film I watched was Imitation Game. Its one of those films made to win Oscars, personally I found it mediocre trying to grab more topics than it can. In the end I didnt get if the film is about a man, the war or homosexuals. 5/10

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

Casino is great, but not Goodfellas great. It's also way more violent, violent enough in parts where it even bothers me.

Mary Poppins (1964)

Very nice movie but not for me.

The Moon-Spinners (1964)

After the success of the James Bond films, everybody did a spy thriller, even Disney. Shot on location on the island of Crete, there's beautiful scenery. The film looks great...but who want's to see a Disney film where people are shot and Hayley Mills is fighting for her life. After the story ends it goes on for another 30 minutes and just gets goofy. In one scene an 18 year old Hayley Mills gets drunk, I was surprised Uncle Walt allowed that scene. Hayley Mills and Crete are worth watching.

I'm surprised Uncle Walt allowed that poster to go out...it gives the impression that Hayley Mills has a Jayne Mansfield-size bosom, which she did not. I used to crush on Hayley anyway, but given that Uncle Walt had enough influence to make his star, Annette Funicello, wear one-piece, non-revealing swimsuits in her "Beach" movies made by another studio, it somewhat amazes me that he let his own studio release the "Hayley Hooter" poster.
