Rate The Last Movie You Saw

It's my favorite of his I love it.

I'd rank his movies this way:

Punch- Drunk Love
Boogie Nights
The Master
Magnolia
Hard-Eight
There Will Be Blood

My Guest House of Hate killed Philip Seymour Hoffman supernaturally.

I will understand if you hate me because of this. I'm sort of a supernatural killer now.

Maybe I should put this on my MoFo Achievement post?

My ranking of PTA (who is the most talented director of his generation, in my opinion):

1. The Master
2. Boogie Nights
3. Magnolia
4. There Will Be Blood
5. Punch-Drunk Love
6. Hard Eight

And just to show how much I love the guy:

Punch-Drunk Love, which is only 5th on this list, is still on my top 25 favorite films of the 2000s DECADE!

Yeah, Scorsese predicted Wes Anderson's succes from the moment he saw Bottle Rocket. He absolutely adored that film.

I personally appreciate Wes Anderson's cinema a lot. I think he's one of the most fascinating directors of our times.

He's not on the same level of PTA for me, but Wes is just getting better and better lately (his ambitions are also getting higher and higher). I still recognize him as a very high quality director and it will be interesting to see which director of that "late '90s generation" will ultimately be considered the 'greatest'.

Speaking of Scorsese -- I'm reading Jordan Belfort's book, The Wolf of Wall Street.

Oh my God. It is so good. I was afraid it would be dull, but it's JUST LIKE THE MOVIE and better. When you read it, it's like reading Leonardo DiCaprio's voiceover from the movie.

It's very funny and entertaining. If you loved The Wolf of Wall Street, you have to read the book it's based on. It will expand the movie and it is a true companion piece.

That will be very interesting to see. And I definitely agree he keeps getting better, especially since I consider The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom to be his two best films.

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

I have been meaning to get around to it.

I don't really get the comparison to Scorsese though. I mean, maybe with Bottle Rocket, but Anderson has really come into his own stylistically since then, I don't think he's anything like Scorsese.

I'm serious -- reading the book -- now I know why they made the movie. It isn't just some dumb book. It really feels like the movie, but with so much more. Read it for pleasure.

@Sexy: I thought The Wolf of Wall Street had moral issues? I remember us having a very long conversation about that. Were you able to stow away those problems you had with it?

@Gunslinger: Wes Anderson's last three films are also my three favorites of his, so I don't have to tell you how much I'm looking forward to his next project.

@Swan: I agree. Stylistically they're very different actually. I think Scorsese just made that statement after he saw Bottle Rocket. He seemed genuinely in love with that film back in the '90s. Today I also hear him mentioning PTA a lot in interviews, so I don't think he has a personal favorite. He appreciates both Andersons.

I still have those issues with it, but I am liking the whole phenomenon of The Wolf of Wall Street more. Obviously something drove me to the book and now that I see that the book is so surprisingly good... well... I'm swept away by good writing. You have power if you can get me to keep turning the pages of your book. I salute you. I'll forget about the moral issues if I like what you're saying.

Yeah I am pretty sure he made that comment in the early days of Wes' career. Although I love the way both directors move the camera.

Boogie Nights is good, but neither of them make films that interest me enough to go and watch them. That said, I'm tempted by The Grand Budapest Hotel.

I love the movie. Give it a shot.

I felt like HK about Wes Anderson but decided to go see it (mainly because nothing else was on except superhero movies) and really enjoyed it. I'd recommend it too.

Little Miss Sunshine 8/10

A Serbian Film - 0/10

An all-around ****** film. I'd heard reviews online talking about how disturbing it is so I decided to watch it the other day just to satisfy my curiosity. (I'm not a big horror film buff myself, but most of the so-called "horror films" I see I just don't find that scary, since the emphasis is usually just on over-the-top gore versus an actually scary setting - so I was hoping this film would do the trick).

Unfortunately this film almost makes the Michael Bay Friday the 13th and Halloween films look like art in comparison. For one thing there's very little violence, it's just chock full of scenes of sex and nudity which are no more scary or disturbing than a low budget porn film you could find on Google. It's only claim to fame are a few scenes depicting child rape (but even these weren't that "scary" - just gross and unsettling).

Other than that there's not much to say about this film - the plot makes no sense, it tries to make up for the lack of any legitimate "scares" by just tossing in a bunch of stupid sex and nude scenes; and even including a child rape theme isn't enough to make this film scary so much as mind-numbingly stupid. - I'd like to send the director a bill for 90 minutes of my life, and for a few of my brain cells.

OK then. You may not be von Trier.
