Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
I will use this thread to document and archive my movie viewing from the 1st January 2015 onwards.
2021 EDIT: Please bear in mind that I now only offer full-star ratings. I find that offering half-star ratings can become somewhat arbitrary at times and is difficult to keep consistent and fair. |
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
I am currently watching American Beauty as part of one of my assignments for university. I have 5 days from now to complete my first of two essays. The second being a lot harder with a deadline for the 14th!!

1st January 2015 American Beauty (1999, Sam Mendes) - RW - 8/10 American Beauty is a great little film with an interesting storyline and fantastic cinematography and iconography. This is a film I have been tasked with to analyse for a university assignment and it has been a lot of fun doing so far. & 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, Stanley Kubrick) - RW - 10/10 Probably the greatest sci-fi I have ever watched and amongst my favourite films of all time. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a richly layered masterpiece that can be watched over and over again and you would still find something new. https://41.media.tumblr.com/b41f2ed6...c6hco1_500.jpg |
I think I'm going to give 2001 one more shot this year.
On the other hand, American Beauty became a favorite the first time I saw it. You should take a day off, Rhys, and ease the pressure. You deserve it. |
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
I've taken 2 days off! :D
(Probably good considering I have assignments to finish) |
5th January 2015 Paths of Glory (1957, Stanley Kubrick) - RW - 10/10 Paths of Glory is in my opinion amongst the greatest of Stanley Kubrick's work. It is a very powerful anti-war film and is remains amongst the most outstanding films from its genre to date. http://36.media.tumblr.com/995d26bf2...0lqqo1_500.png |
I still haven't seen Paths of Glory and I have no excuse.

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Me too, Cricket. Me too.

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Paths Of Glory is easily my favourite Kubrick. I know I say it every time it's brought up, but it gives you an idea of just how much more I like it than the other films of his I've seen. Get it seen, cricket, I think you'll really like it.

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
You both need to watch it! It's short so that gives you even more reason to just get it watched. My second favourite Kubrick!
|
6th January 2015 The Shining (1980, Stanley Kubrick) - RW - 9/10 The Shining is another one of Kubrick's greatest works. It is a fantastically made and genuinely iconic horror film and is one of his most controversial pieces. http://cdn2.thegloss.com/wp-content/...hining-gif.gif |
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Paths of Glory will probably be the next Kubrick movie I'll rewatch! I did not think it was asgood as some of my Kubrick's favourites but it deserves another chance!
|
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
It's my second favourite after ACO. I think it is pretty underappreciated to be honest.
|
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
I need to give Paths of Glory another watch. I have a hard time with most war films, I don't know why, so when I watched it I had a hard time getting into it.

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Rhys looking at your lists I noticed you haven't seen Vertigo or Raging Bull. I hope that is because you haven't updated it, otherwise, dude what are you doing? Like with your LIFE!
I'm just kidding ;) But you should watch those two films. |
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
now

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Haha, I have seen Raging Bull but no, not Verigo. I'll have to watch that one soon then it seems. ;)
|
Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
Yeah mate come on, definitely watch Vertigo. I watched that film for the first time like a year ago, I still have dreams of it. Just watch it without reading too much about it, do that and come back and talk about the film.

Re: Rhys' Fabulous Viewing Diary of Fabulousness
A Letterboxd diary is a much easier way of logging your viewing, but I suppose I will have to +rep your entries in this thread anyway...:rolleyes:
