Rate The Last Movie You Saw

I give it The l'arena scene is a masterpiece!

I LOVEALFRED HITCHCOCK!

If I rated the movie for that scene it would be a clear 10/10! It's one of my favourite stand-off scenes of all the westerns I've seen so far! xD

I thought about giving it 8/10 because it's slightly better than La resa dei conti (which I rated 7/10), but it's worse than Giù la testa (which I rated 8/10), so 7,5/10 is probably more fair! xD

Father of the Bride Part II

A surprisingly decent sequel. It is more of the same with a pregnancy taking the place of a wedding and the shoe-horned in character of Martin Short shows up because I assume people loved him in the original. It goes through the same motions, Martin not wanting to let his daughter grow up. I feel like it would work better watching it right after the first one.

Dredd

Second time watching it and it still holds up. This film is shot well and has the comic book vibe that the original flick with Stallone lacked. I'll be as vocal as I can about Karl Urban, he's great and needs more roles!!!

Four Brothers

Shot in my hometown of Hamilton, doubling as Detroit. It was interesting to see some recognizable places. A bit hard to follow what the reason was behind the shooting, maybe I just wasn't paying attention. The chemistry between the brothers was believable enough and Marky Mark does his usual bad boy routine. It's nothing too memorable, but enough to pass the time.

Suspect's Reviews

Leaving Las Vegas -

I watched this to see just what kind of acting Cage did to win an Oscar. Part of me wanted to write off the whole thing because it's yet another movie about self-destructive people moving closer to oblivion over the course of one hundred minutes. The aggressively arthouse vibe of the film (16mm film stock, a slight case of overcranking, jazz all over the soundtrack, etc.) can even be a little off-putting as well. Even so, it's still got its well-made moments (the last 15-20 minutes are hard to watch) and both Cage and Shue turn in decent performances (even if the former is basically being his usual hammy self but with the odd miserable scene thrown in).

Haven't watched the show, but it's cool that it's featuring the Bond villain from Casino Royale

Wall-E




I'm kicking myself for not watching this earlier (preferably before the animation countdown), the adorable characters and visual style were the main pluses. It's almost like a silent film, using its actions and quirky sounds to elicit an emotional reaction from the audience. Great film, I need a watch or more to fully take in its message and surroundings but yeah, me dig.

Taxi Driver




How cool is that poster, seriously. Anyways.....

I don't think it's realized how good De Niro's performance as Travis Bickle really is. Taxi Driver isn't one of those dialogue-heavy films which intends to magnify the supposed prowess of a single actor, it's more-so reliant on actions, body movements and facial expressions to covey the story and that imo is much harder to nail as an actor. To really grasp what I'm trying to say, go watch the scene where Travis is in the diner (stoner at the door) and talking to his fellow workers, he's just so awkward, his expressions don't match the conversation and it's as if he garners contempt toward everything and everyone. De Niro total immersion into the role of Travis Bickle is disturbing.

Film still remains my favourite, obviously.

Thanks, I didn't know that! Would love to see what other people have to say about the show

I watched 3 movies recently. all in cinema



Anna (Mindscape)

a very good thriller with a bit of a spooky feel to it, but it's not horror

I was surprised by how good the movie is, maybe because I was expecting just another average movie.

This is the second movie I watch for Mark Strong, after Blood 2012. It looks like he chooses his roles carefully, maybe I should check out more of his movies.







Nightcrawler

I had that smile from the very moment the movie started until the very end, I was really amused and i had a great time watching it, definitely one of my top 3 movies of the year.







The Pyramid

Not bad, not boring, taking into account recent horror movies standards, it's just your average horror movie

Blue Jasmine (2013)

Watched this yesterday, and can't get it off my mind. When it ended I thought it was good, but not better than Midnight in Paris. Yet I think I might be falling in love, and I can't wait to rewatch it.

At the cinema. Amazing experience. For the first ten minutes where it is just black with music, I had goosebumps for all of it. And the end too. So epic. Everyone stood up and clapped at the end too.

The beggining of the french New Age.
This is refreshing in so many ways! The pacing, the camera angles, the dialogues, the editing... It's good to watch a film that's not obsessed with the story, for a change!
Amazing performances by Belmondo and Seberg (she's gorgeous!!!!) and a really interesting soundtrack.

Hot Fuzz 7/10
Guardians of the Galaxy 9/10
The Lion King 9/10

Rhapsody In August (1991) - 6/10 - Enjoyable and suitable for all ages.
