Wonder Woman (2009) 4.5/5

The best animated feature I've watched in a while, and the best film based on DC comics I've ever seen (although Mask of the Phantasm and All-Star Superman come pretty close.) Not knowing what to expect, I was very surprised by the intelligent writing, witty dialogue and superb animation.

Zero Dark Thirty

3.5/5

[bighuey]

One called Silent Scream. A cheap knock-off of Friday the 13th. College kids go to stay in a mountain cabin, they all get butchered in various ways, stupid dialogue, crummy acting. Dont bother with this one, complete garbage.

The Amazing Spider-Man. An enjoyable flick. Not a masterpiece but it doesn't have to be. I prefer the first one anyway, even though I'm not a fan of the films or the character in general.

The Village 9/10 The ending left a lot hanging, and I wanted to see more. It badly needs a sequel.

[bighuey]

I watched a peice of crap last night, The Phantom from 1931. Waste of time, the acting was terrible, it was slow and draggy, lousy script. The lead actress was a very pretty woman, but she had a voice that would open cans. She must have been one of those who couldnt make the transition from silent movies into sound. She reminded me of the Jean Hagen character in Singin In The Rain.

[BlueLion]

Silver Linings Playbook
4.5

Great movie, and I only have good things to say about it. Enjoyed every minute of it, one of the best flicks that I've seen of this genre.

I really liked the direction and the chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, and I think that the film deserves all of the nominations that it has received at the Academy Awards.

[bluedeed]

Citizen Ruth: 2 / 5

The film's message was clear within the first fifteen minutes, and was followed by another 90 minutes of beating me over the head with its thesis statement. The final shot isn't so much a revelation as it is a high school concluding paragraph, blatantly repeating what the whole paper said with little reworking. One of Payne's weaker efforts.

[Dastardly_Bastard]

Mama - 4.5/10

Yet another poorly written and executed horror film that I misjudged for possibly being decent by the previews alone... The majority of horror films over the last 10+ years have suffered from this crap.

[Hitchcockian]

The treasure of the Sierra madre - superb, 9/10

[seanc]

Finally saw Zero Dark Thirty. With this film topping so many critics list I expected to fall in love. The last third is very good, and this is another very strong Bigelow film. But ultimately would fall in the 8-12 range based on everything else I saw in 2012. 7.5/10

[Septimus79]

Just watched The Pact, it offers some good scares and horror fans should enjoy it, however it's nothing special and will probably be forgotten quickly, I would give it 6 out of 10.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: 4 / 5

Very interesting, and mesmerizing, said to be the first film to introduce a twist ending (And so it appears that twist endings haven't evolved much at all). Loved the style and I wish there was some form of German expressionism in use today, It's a really interesting and mesmerizing setup, the intricacies and absurdities of the set design.

[McConnaughay]

Hostel Part III - 5.5/10.0

I actually enjoyed the first two Hostel movies (although neither gets more than a 7.5), but this movie, I think, represents the series jumping the shark.

Theres no TV where I live so I watch a lot of videos. Ive got a fair collection of movies, some good, some terrible and most of them average. I watched one last night, an old 1941 Monogram flick called I Killed That Man. Not a bad show for a poverty row studio flick. The dialogue was snappy, good story line, acceptable acting. Above all that, it had my sweetie in it, Iris Adrian. I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers. Too bad she gets knocked off halfway through the movie. 4 out of 5, this one.

[bluedeed]

Before Sunrise: 4 / 5

I wanted to get into what looks to be a very unique trilogy. Basically a conversation as a whole film, the kind of conversation that can only happen between people who know each other almost completely, or not at all. Maybe a little too aware of what it's trying to do, just as its characters are aware of what they're attempting. A little less thought-provoking than Certified Copy, but very well written and enjoyable.

[KnoKoneser]

Django 9/10

[Jim Garten]

Green Zone

Neat, very well made thriller, Matt Damon playing Matt Damon as usual, Jason Isaacs wasted in my opinion as a pretty generic bad guy, but Brendan Gleeson plays a blinder, as does the unknown Khalid Abdalla, playing a reluctant translator. Never heard of the film before, but saw it was on Film 4 last night so gave it a go & glad I did - 8/10

Les Miserables. I can't really rate it because I didn't watch it all. I had to leave the cinema, I couldn't take more singing. I know it's a musical and I only watched it because my acting teacher said it was brilliant. The acting was brilliant but the singing was killing me.

The Silence of the Lambs - 9/10

[Cobpyth]

The Killing!

Great film noir! I really liked the story and the main character was extremely cool (Sterling Hayden is a boss). It's the oldest movie of Kubrick I've seen so far and we can already see the beginning of the great genius he will become. I also really liked the way he played with the chronology in this movie.

8+/10!

[The Rodent]

Currently watching Alien Hunter (2003)... appears to be a rip off of The Thing...


Barely 6 minutes in and I've already spotted footage stolen from Carpenter's The Thing and the overall premise also appears to have been re-stolen by the abysmal prequel to Carpenter's film.

My rating after about 15 minutes in: 0%

[bluedeed]

Before Sunset: 4.5

Definitely better than Before Sunrise, less sophomoric and more elegiac. In just 80 minutes of conversation that must've been rehearsed for 9 years, we see the holistic impact of one night on there people's lives. And, for honeykid, I called all of the "Before..." movies a trilogy in the same way I would call Late Spring, Early Summer, and Tokyo Story a trilogy. While not created as one, they're three movies in a series that are connected.

For Nuwell: The three Before films (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight) are co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, who I think is one of the most interesting American directors today. He has a very wide range of films. From the early promise of Slacker, to the romantic and insightful Before films, to the deeply philosophical Waking Life, even to his quirky comedies School of Rock and Bernie, he's created a very interesting film bank for himself.

[Mingusings]

The Good The Bad The Weird: 4

[McConnaughay]

I finally went out of my way to watch Edward Scissorhands, and I have to say, while it was entertaining as all Johnny Depp movies are, and some very good underlying themes, I am actually disappointed in the movie.My older brother marketed it as one of Johnny Depp's best performances, which I don't think it was at all, and it had a lot of stupid in it, such as the characters.

Werckmeister Harmonies: 5 / 5

I had to watch it again because I was far too inexperienced the first time I saw it. There's something that's only possible with Tarr's long takes. Every scene feels like a short story or poem. It's the only film to ever move me to tears within the first 10 minutes. The wonderful thing about Tarr's camera as well is that he moves it so much, yet when he stops, he ends up with such thoughtful compositions. Before it was a film that I could appreciate, not like, but know I'm truly in love with this masterpiece.

Earlier today, I bought and watched American Mary on Blu-ray and was hugely impressed by it! Directed by the Soska Sisters and staring a mainly female (http://forums.comingsoon.net/showthread.php?p=2845030&posted=1#)cast, the film looks at the dark and wild world of body modification and is one of the most original horror films I've seen in quite a while.

I'd definitely recommend seeing it! 9/10

[McConnaughay]

I finished watching Saw V and Sweeney Todd, and I have to say that for starters, Saw gets a bad wrap as a whole, and I think this movie, although brought about way too many stupid ideas, still remained consistent with its intelligent ideas. I think the biggest problem with Saw is that it tried to be too intelligent and stretched itself beyond its own means, projecting something on the screen that was contrasting to what it was actually meant to be, being more generic than innovative. As for Sweeney Todd, I found the movie to be absolute tremendous in-terms of entertainment value, and I think that the movie will probably wind up somewhere in my top-twenty. The execution in the acting, the cinematography that shows Tim Burton at his most inspired, and the story itself were something that I could easily fall head over heels for.

[Cobpyth]

Frantic (1988)

Great modern noir film! Emmanuelle Seigner is absolutely stunning in this one! I love the atmosphere in this movie and the main song from Grace Jones. It really fits the movie.

Touch of Evil (1958)

Wonderful atmosphere! Orson Welles truly is a genius! I think this can become one of my favorite movies. It's certainly one of the best film noirs I've seen to date (and I love that genre).

[NuWell]

Le Coup de Berger
I had orignially thought that Jean-Marie Straub was the director, buy actually Jacques Rivette directed and Straub worked as the assistant director. An excellent introduction to French New Wave, everyone's invited. During the party I recognized the 2 biggest new wave directors, Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. Truly excellent, very lovely black and white with that characteristic mystery theme of the French new wave.

La Plasir
My first Max Ophuls film, and I'd have to say I'm hooked. Surprisingly uplifting, it gives you that sense that all is well, people matter, have weight, words don't fall flat. I will certainly love to see more.

Tales That Witness Madness 1973 3.5

3.5/5

It was a good "mystery". Not going to lay, I saw who the bad guy was within the first 20 mins but for someone who hasn't seen a million mystery thrillers, they would have been kept guessing till the last half hour. Anna Kendricks does fantastic in this thriller. I've only really seen her do comedy and chick flicks but she pulls it off. I see her as a great up and comming actress who will most likely be getting starring roles in the years to come. Also, Paul Wesley (Vampire Diaries Stephan) plays a bad boy and it was funny to see his "good guy" reputation from the show completely change with this different character. I do recommend watching it. It's one of those one and done movies unless you like it much more.

[bluedeed]

Touch of Evil (1958)

Wonderful atmosphere! Orson Welles truly is a genius! I think this can become one of my favorite movies. It's certainly one of the best film noirs I've seen to date (and I love that genre).

A great film! I still think Welles is the only person in cinema to really master lighting. The opening shot is one of the best in cinema, if you want to see truly great staging and camerawork, that's where to go. I still think it cuts just a little too soon, but nonetheless, it's masterful!

Frantic (1988)

Saw The Dark Knight Rises for the 1st time. Overall, really good flick, though I was a bit surprised that Batman really didn't have a lot of screen time in comparison to the 1st two. There were so many characters that at times it was hard to keep track of. But overall, very solid cast and very well done. I couldn't help think about this cast and how many previous oscar contenders and winners are in this film.

Oh and I really liked the lapdance scene! The actress did it really well!

I'm a huge Tarantino fan and yes, Death Proof is without a doubt his weakest film, and Tarantino has admitted it himself. I liked the second part of the movie with Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson and Tracie Thoms, but the first part was really slow and a little boring. Kurt Russell delivers a good performance as Stuntman Mike but I didn't like the performances of the girls from the first part of the film and even the dialogue was boring, which is unusual for a Tarantino film. But the second part not only that is better in dialogue, funnier and includes better characters, it also consists of great car chase scenes.


Anyway, I watched two very good films during the last 24 hours.

Zero Dark Thirty 4

I liked this movie. I liked the direction, the acting, the way the story was told, the way it was filmed, pretty much everything.
A suspenseful and pretty enjoyable movie. Another fine movie from Bigelow, but I liked The Hurt Locker more.

The Shining 4

The first Stanley Kubrick movie that I've watched. I'll admit that I expected it to be much more frightening, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It had a lot of suspense though, it kept me interested all the time and I loved the camera work. The performances from the cast were also very good, especially Jack Nicholson's.

[honeykid]

You thought the dialogue in Death Proof was boring, which I can understand, and think it's Tarantino's weakest film, which I can also understand. What did you think of IB? Because that dialogue is just dull. Not just for Tarantino, but as dialogue in general.

[rauldc14]

Just saw Reversal of Fortune. One thing I can say is it really makes you think. It was a pretty decent movie actually- 6.5/10 with a possibility of higher upon a repeat watch.

[honeykid]

I love Reversal Of Fortune. It came pretty close to making my 100. On another day, it may've done so.

[Cobpyth]

You thought the dialogue in Death Proof was boring, which I can understand, and think it's Tarantino's weakest film, which I can also understand. What did you think of IB? Because that dialogue is just dull. Not just for Tarantino, but as dialogue in general.

I didn't think it was dull and it's not even comparable to Death Proof.

In Inglourious Basterds there is this atmosphere of suspense and constant threat. That's why everything that was said, was so much more interesting (in my opinion). Every little mistake in a seemingly ordinary chat, could cause a whole spectrum of reactions.

That's also the reason why I liked Django Unchained so much. The "good guys" are playing a role and every little detail can betray them. That kind of situations make great cinema and certainly when it's done by a master director with the skills of Quentin Tarantino. He's one of those rare filmmakers that can offer that little bit of extra magic to a certain scene (in my opinion).

[BlueLion]

You thought the dialogue in Death Proof was boring, which I can understand, and think it's Tarantino's weakest film, which I can also understand. What did you think of IB? Because that dialogue is just dull. Not just for Tarantino, but as dialogue in general.

I'd basically just repeat what Cobpyth said. Agreed completely with his/her post.

In Death Proof almost each chat during the first half of the movie seemed pointless. Which is not the case with IB.

I'd basically just repeat what Cobpyth said. Agreed completely with his/her post.

[BarkerBlast]

Triangle (2009)

Initial Viewing: 4.5/10
Second Viewing: 9.5/10 (It's currently in my top 10 list).

It uses a time shift aspect to repeat an event until something is done differently to change the outcome. Initially the film comes off as being stupid, but it's far from the it. A second viewing is required.

Les Miserables 3.5+

I liked it much better than I thought I would given my usual distaste for musicals, but I definitely didn't love it. I do have to say though that I disagree with the people complaining about Russell Crowe's singing. He wasn't spectacular by any means but I thought he did well enough. Also I think his ability to convey so much emotion in his face made up for any shortcomings in his vocal performance.

P.S. - Is it just me or is Amanda Seyfried really not attractive at all? I mean she's not ugly per se and I know she was probably cast more for her vocal abilities than her looks, but I felt that the actress playing Eponine was far prettier.

[honeykid]

YEAH! Now THAT's how you make a great movie! The beginning scene looks etremely good. The way they staged that long shot is BRILLIANT!
I also loved the music and the many memorable moments and characters (Jack Horner, Dirk Diggler, Rollergirl, etc.) in the film.

[BlueLion]

True Romance, for the second time (saw it almost a year ago for the first time).

5

Saying "I love it" is just not enough to describe what I feel for this film. Even when I watched it for the first time last year I loved it from the first minute until the last, and it was the same feeling today. This movie is almost flawless for me.

I love the story, I think the acting is superb, especially Christian Slater's performance, the dialogue is sharp (typical Tarantino, and I'm glad he didn't direct this because as much as I like him, this movie is great the way it is and I'm happy that he only wrote it), the soundtrack is wonderful, and I also really like most of the locations in the film which for me is one of the most important details that I think helps in making movies memorable.

[mark f]

True Romance's score is good, especially the stuff "inspired" from Badlands.

[NuWell]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Johnny_guitar.jpg
Truly an amazing film. Along with Stagecoach, I've really opened up to westerns. Never seen such troubled and deep characters. Unlike many other "genre" films, you don't expect the ending, or any other action; rare to find such mystery in films of any decade.

The Fifth Element (1997)

I expected entertainment and my god, I received it!

It's a Sci-Fi/Action/Comedy/Romantic flick with some funny ideas (Chinese food salesman on his boat going from house to house, etc.), a great futuristic world and some great characters! The plot may be a little weird, but that's not the reason why I watched it.
It's kind of a sci-fi mix between Taxi Driver (he drives a cab and he's an ex-military), Titanic (the ending on the boat resort) and James Bond (especially the ending). It certainly is a hell of a ride!

Mariee etait en noir, La http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5OiomLGAh4U/UFaGPqLfQ-I/AAAAAAAACkc/Gj2FzfNxtKY/s1600/bride2.jpg

Well constructed and superbly stylish French thriller from the one and only Truffaut. Very surprised that this hasn't received the obligatory Hollywood remake yet. It's a vengeance themed film from a female angle. Given the film's age, it's important to make note of the female perspective.

4 stars out of 5.

Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

Great picture for sure! Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper really hit it off. I really liked their characters. They are so flawed that you just HAVE to sympathize with them.

Also Robert De Niro was **cking HILARIOUS! His seriousness about his superstition was just brilliant! He played it flawless. I literally (ok, maybe not literally) laughed my ass off several times. I had my thoughts about him being nominated for an oscar before I saw the movie, but now I know why he is. He brougth great comedy to the screen.

The climax (dancing) scene was also great by the way. Damn, I love Jennifer Lawrence. She's such a pretty and gifted actress. I hope she'll make many movies in her career.

Hotel Translyvania 2-

I wasn't expecting to be blown away by it, but I thought it'd be better than this. Didn't laugh even one time. Didn't like the characters. I should've known better than to bother watching anything from Adam Sandler. I'm just glad I opted to rent it instead of seeing it when it was in the theater or blind-buying the DVD.

[BlueLion]

Killing Them Softly 3

I have mixed feelings about this movie, I mean I don't regret watching it because it had quality, it had some enjoyable scenes, sometimes interesting dialogue, generally nice cinematography and camera work. I liked Brad Pitt and almost all the scenes with him, I think he did pretty good in this movie. However, I didn't quite like the way the story was told, and the characters seemed like they were there just to play their part but not much is told about them, basically the story seems sort of rushed even though it's told quietly and not too much violence is involved.

[Cobpyth]

Bitter Moon (1992)

Polanski is a master in creating atmosphere. This is for sure one of the darkest movies I've experienced in my life.

The film explores the two extreme sides of a 'human' relationship in a frame narrative way. In the tale we see extreme lust and extreme emotional pain performed by two individuals in Paris and in the frame itself we see the result of it all on a cruise ship, where another couple becomes dragged into the whole dark spiral that was consumed.

It sure was a very interesting and satisfying experience!

Sin City (2005) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/)

Closest to a graphic novel that movie can get. Composed of three stories that have little links between each other but they perfectly fit together.
It's a comic book stylized and typical Rodriguez's violent entertainment with a big number of famous faces.

8/10


Misery (1990) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100157/)

Simple, but tense, creepy, fun and interesting story. One of the better King's adaptations, but it is up to the simplicity of the story itself.
Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes is brilliant, one of those performances that you remember for long time. Only the ending looks somehow sloppy and hastily done, as if after final fight they had one more day of shooting so they hastily done it in few hours. But after all it's a simple and excellent thriller.

Nobody Walks (2012) with Olivia Thirlby and John Krasinsky, half-written by Lena Dunham (Girls). Just saw it last night. This is a story about a sexy young interloper who disrupts a family during her short stay. I liked Olivia Thirlby in Juno, and wish she could rock it out in a movie, but this ain't the one. Very moody and slow moving indie, like a bowl of lukewarm canned soup.

The actors did the best with what they had. Krasinski really dials down the energy. It's ok to watch for curiosity sake though, but very forgettable...

[Cobpyth]

Despicable Me (2010)

Enjoyable cartoon.


Shame (2011)

Very interesting character study. It discovers the dark sides of a sexual addict. When his sister moves in, his privacy gets interrupted and he starts losing it. Another interesting factor of the story is that his sister is an insecure and intable girl with suicide issues in the past.
It all unravels in a slow paced, stylish film that doesn't shy away from explicit nudity to show the real soul of its main character.

It works.

[Cobpyth]

My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

This kind of films just makes you feel good! It's a wonderful animation with a very cute , yet self-willed little girl (Mei) and her more responsible, yet also playful older sister (Satsuki) as the main characters.
It sketches their new environment after they moved and the good relationship with their nice dad, who has to work in the big city to support them and their ill mother, who lives at a hospital.
We see Mei struggle with the fact that she's 'alone' when her sister is at school and we see Satsuki struggle with her many responsibilities at such young age.
Luckily they have the aid of Totoro, a forest spirit that helps them get through their more difficult situations. Miyazaki tells it all very soft and light hearted and with very warm animation so it is enjoyable for young and old!

Great picture!

[UncriticallyAcclaimed]

The Dark Knight Rises 5/10

[BlueLion]

Once Upon a Time in the West 4

For me, a 5/5 rating, or a 10/10 means the movie is flawless and I consider it to be a masterpiece. A 4.5/5, or a 9/10 means the movie is excellent, and I would also include it in my "favourite movies" list.

I would include this movie in my "good movies" list, therefore, I rate it 4/5, or 8/10. I loved the music (I love Morricone), the acting and the camera work were also superb, however I must admit that the movie felt a little long to me. I watched the original version (2 hours and 45 minutes), and QT's Django to me seemed like an hour shorter, despite the fact that it runs for the same amount of time, while this one felt maybe a little longer than it was. Good movie, and I'm really glad I saw it.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

This film had a lot of great characters, but how AWESOME was Gwyneth Paltrow? She was absolutely gorgeous in this flick!

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fb-sg42RswI/UPTbFj5_isI/AAAAAAAAADI/aOnVaeicA6U/s1600/margot-tenenbaum-1.jpg

She was neurotic, cold, vain and yet very emotional and funny at the same time. I loved her character and her performance very much!
The rest of the cast was also top-notch and the film also had some stunning cinematography.

It was a very nice experience and I'll surely rewatch this in the future.

The Searchers: 10/10 One of John Ford's best and among the best westerns ever made!

[Memento Mori]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
10/10

It was great to see this movie again, just extraordinary.

[Cobpyth]

I watched three films today:

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

I already saw the sequel two years ago and when I saw the first one was on TV, I recorded it and I watched it today. It's nothing special. It had some visual interesting scenes, but that's it. It was still worth the watch, though.

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

I was in the animation mood, so I watched another film from Miyazaki and (again) he didn't disappoint! I just love the atmosphere he creates in his pictures. This one gave me a certain feeling of "freedom".
I also loved the comparison between flying and creative thinking. That part was very recognizable for me and I liked the way he approached that subject. I also liked the strong satire he used in several scenes!

Donnie Darko (2001)

It's essentially just another time travel movie without any logical plot or meaning at all (unless it means that life is completely pointless), but it's done in such a great way and told with such interesting events that you cannot be unmoved by this film. The great performance of Jake Gyllenhaal is also crucial to this film's succes. He really nailed the character of Donnie Darko. I can't imagine anyone else doing it better than he did.

[The_Basha]

The Searchers: 10/10 One of John Ford's best and among the best westerns ever made!
Brilliant film, yet the book is even better. Best I've ever read. Simply stunning.

Fortress (1985) - 6/10, docked two stars for the gruesome ending, and one more for a teacher stripping in front of her male student (!) then giving him the "liked what you saw?" look (!!), otherwise 9/10 for entertainment.

[Proximity]

Eraserhead
http://www.traileraddict.com/content/unknown/eraserhead.jpg
4.5

I don't like to drop 5's on films I've only seen once. Give this a few years and some rewatches and I think I'll bump it up. Horrific, thought-provoking, surreal, and poignant film about - I think - sexual frustration and naivete, among other things.

[McConnaughay]

I went to the movies and watched Warm Bodies, I watched it more because I was bored than anything else, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the film.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

I already saw the original one with the rat pack, so I was looking forward to some renewed fun and style. My needs were served.
George Clooney was a good Danny Ocean and the other stars (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, ...) also shone pretty bright. The twisted plot even kept the story interesting!

Normally I was also going to watch the two sequels, but I decided to divide the light-hearted fun of these series, in stead of using it all up in one night. So I watched a more important film I still had to see:

No Country for Old Men (2007)

I hardly ever experienced a villain so terrifying, dangerous and unpredictable as Anton Chigurh. Bardem's performance really made this movie as he's able to deliver constant suspense!
The ending of the movie is rather depressing in tone, which fits the story perfectly.
Yet another awesome piece of filmmaking by the Coen brothers!

[TokeZa]

I liked The Onion Field follow up on what happened after the first trial. Especially the demise of the surviving officer Karl Hettinger. To Live And Die in L.A. was a bit to 80's kliche especially with the wang chung soundtrack in mind, but i always love Willem Dafoe.

SHARK NIGHT 3D. 3/5
^For a low budget a B movie actors/actresses this actually wasn't that bad. The sharks were fake looking but the characters were relatable and the setting was good. Story line was okay but hey, I'd watch this again sometime. It was 100000x's better than Pirahna 3D!

Life of Pi 4.5

Great, great movie, definitely one of the best of 2012. A visually stunning film and a powerful and rather emotional experience.

I also watched Apocalypse Now before Life of Pi, but I won't rate it at the moment. I feel that Apocalypse Now is one of those films which you can't give an immediate opinion about. It's one of those great works of cinema that make you think and think, films that make you analyze every little detail you saw in the movie. Pulp Fiction had this effect on me, and now it's one of my favourite films of all time, and I think it's one of the greatest films ever made.

First I want Apocalypse Now to settle, and once I've seen it for a second time after a couple of days I'll give my opinion and rating.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

This was AWESOME! It's something totally different than Anderson's other work. It's much smaller, but it's really gold. The colors are beautiful, the direction is perfect and the film is just EXTREMELY funny and sweet at the same time. Adam Sandler also did a really good job in this.

PTA is now officially a film genius in my opinion(I've now seen Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood). I still have to see The Master and Sydney/Hard Eight. I'm really looking forward to those!

[Miss Vicky]

Argo - 4-

It seemed like a pretty well made film, but didn't quite live up to my expectations (what with all the awards it's been winning). This rating may change though. I watched it late at night and was having a little trouble concentrating. I might like it better when I have another go at it later on.

[BloodyVengeance]

Amour: 4/5

Animal Kingdom: 4.5/5 - Wow..just wow really loved this one!

Horible bosses - it stands out from latest comedies due to being actually funny. Great acting - Kevin Spacey, leading trio or even Colin Farrell (although his part could've been bigger), nice plot, few hilarious gags.

Oh, and Jennifer Aniston haven't been this hot since Friends.

Overall 7/10.

Blue Velvet (1986)

I'm a big fan of black, twisted, intense and sometimes absurdly funny thrillers like this one. Especially when it's executed in such a wonderful style. The colors and the scenery of this film are sublime! The effect of darkness and noir is made stronger with great music, which accompanies the picture perfectly. Amazing experience! Lynch is a true artist.

Jaws

Yes, I had never watched Jaws before! It's all around excellent and still is one of the best hollywood blockbuster movies ever made (I would prefer only Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, which are more "magical"), still all around excellent, one of Spielberg's best movies. 4_5

[Watch_Tower]

Just finished watching "The Men who stare at Goats" and came away with a big smile on my face. A genuinely heart felt movie which has a deeper message but it doesn't ram it home like certain other films out there. Add to that it was funnier than almost all the "comedies" released by Adam Sandler over the last decade and you have something which is damn god to watch. A solid 7/10.

[Cobpyth]

Scream (1996)

I had not seen this yet and didn't expect something good, but it was rather enjoyable. There were some nice suspense moments and the plot twist was satisfying. I will watch the sequels in the not too distant future.

Hero (2002)

This film has brilliant visuals and colors. It's an amazing experience. The fight scenes and the decors were really beautifully to look at! I couldn't keep my eyes away from the screen during the whole movie.

I also really like Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. They have great chemistry on screen in every film they're in.
