Rate The Last Movie You Saw

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) One of the most overlooked masterpieces from a decade that turned out many. Possibly Cassavetes' Best! Truly unique creations of 70s cinema... It's strange and provocative, absolutely unforgettable!

That's 4 numbers higher than my rating!

What can I say? It's Cassavetes

The Legend (1993) - Corey Yuen (Hong Kong Action)
Martial arts film with Jet Li and Michelle Reis. Jet Li is an actual real life martial arts expert and Reis is very beautiful but unfortunately neither of them can act ... at all ... seriously they both suck. This movie looks great but Jet Li is just not a leading man that that can carry a film on his own so what could have been a good film ended up being very average.

Have you seen all of Cassavetes movies?

I didn't wanna say, but that one was my least favorite, and that's putting it mildly, but I'll try to watch again, so many people love it.

Biutiful (2010) - Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Mexican Drama)
Of the five of Inarritu's films that I've seen this was my least favourite. It just never really grabbed my attention and none of the characters really worked for me. Beyond the central theme of a man dealing with a serious illness it all felt a bit forced.

+

Children of Men (2006) - great film... I've been meaning to watch this for a long time so I'm glad it was nominated for the Sci-Fi HoF.
9/10

I've been meaning to check that film out for awhile now but keep on getting side tracked.

I can already tell I'll love the movie... when I get to it.

Vagabond (1985) - Agnes Varda (French Drama)
The film opens with a homeless girl found dead in a ditch - and then we are taken back to find out how she got there. It's a story of a young woman who doesn't really fit into society and chooses to live on the road. It's quite a touching movie with a great performance by Sandrine Bonnaire and it's interesting because many movies like this tend to glorify the "freedom" that can be attained by removing yourself from society but this certainly doesn't do that.

I liked Vagabond, too. We had to watch that in film studies as part of our women in film section.

Oslo August 31 +

Powerful and unflinching depiction of a young man who has lost the will to live. Is neither sentimental nor contrived. Great film.
