Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Foxcatcher

Great acting, great cinematography and an interesting storyline but it failed to grab me. My dad watched parts of it with me and just thought it was too weird and I tend to agree with him. Not a movie for everyone, that's for certain. It has had me thinking about it all day, though I must add.

6.5-7/10

Goodfellas

Yeah, this movie is ****ing amazing.

10/10



Birdman

Thought I was going to hate it, ended up loving it. Very enjoyable.

8.5/10

Ran

Finally got around to watching it after my boyfriend bought it for me on a whim ("It looked Japanese so I thought you'd love it")

8/10

Whiplash

Very tense and gripping movie. Great acting performances from the two leads and one of the best endings I've seen in a long time. My only criticism is I wished it was longer.

8.5/10

Next time he does it, expect some crazy tentacle porn. It's sooooo Japanese.

Psycho (1960) Repeat viewing

I just needed a refresher.

That was my reaction also to Hitchcock (2012). If you think that film slighted Hitch, try watching this one:


Hitch comes off being a real control freak perv in this film. I have NO idea if there's much truth in the film or not???

Death Note (TV series) 6/10
The first half is easily the best; I really enjoyed watching Light and L trying to outsmart each other though it did get start to get a bit stale by the middle of the show. The second half is a mess though. The writers kept pulling new characters and new rules for the Death Note out of nowhere and cramming plot twists into every second or third episode. I like that they were trying to keep things unpredictable but it got old really fast. After a while I stopped caring about what happened because I knew the writers were going to go "HAHAHAHA! Plot twist! Fooled you! What you thought was happening wasn’t really happening because this is what was really happening! Or was it? MUHAHAHAHA!" It’s a decent show overall but there are much much much better ones out there.

Weekend (1967)

I was really liking the first 40 minutes of this. It's supposed to be a black comedy, but at first I found it more on the disturbing side. It was like the old saying about seeing a car accident and not being able to look away, and probably not too coincidentally, there are several car accident scenes. The point seemed to be people's lack of empathy towards other's suffering. It got to where I wanted the story to progress, but the director really seemed to want to beat you over the head with his message. The movie then starts to get political, and it became a bit of a mess for me. This is a very strange movie, yet watchable and somewhat fascinating.

Having seen this, The Producers and Spaceballs, I am certain Mel Brooks is a comedic god! No scratch that, he is THE comedic god! No other movies like those three made me laugh like that (with the exception of Airplane!). Only Young Frankenstein (my first film of his.) disappointed me. High chance of making my top 30.








You men are only risking your lives, while I am risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor!

Friday the 13th: Part 3 - 6.5/10

Again, this series surprised me by how good its early entries are years later on the rewatch. This would have been a comparatively excellent ending for the series if it would have been left alone as originally intended after this. The kills were obvious improvements over the first two films, even showing a bit of artistry in how Shelley was assaulted off-screen, then goes after the girl he was with while disguised as him. Shelley's actual on-screen death was nothing short of brilliant, being dismissed as a joke until well after the point of expiration. The final memorable dispatchment was when Jason killed a gagged kid just around the corner of the girl looking for him, showing both in the exact same shot. The characters were likable enough and the 3-D moments weren't as incessently prevalent as I would have thought. If they had simply gotten rid of the prank war with the biker gang, this would have been my favorite of the series.



Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter - 6/10

The series definitely lost something between the third and fourth film. It stopped trying to be "good" and started going for gorier and more numerous scares instead. I can't deny that some were pretty entertaining, but it lacked a lot of what made the first three so memorable. Still, the characters were given more depth than later slasher films would bother with, the tag-team of Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman was as pleasing a surprise as Kevin Bacon in the first film and it was an all-around entertaining horror outing (if not an especially good one).

John Wick. Boring! But don't take my opinion too seriously. Action movies like this aren't my favorite. If the genre is your thing then you'll probably like it. To me it just seemed repetitive and like every other action movie.

4/10

I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm a fan of that one Miss Vicky, but apparently you aren't.

I delved deeper into classical Bollywood films last night. It was a solid 8/10 until the 3rd hour, when it sunk to a 6/10 for me. Due to the fact that it's ****ing 3 1/2 hours long...

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Lost Highway (1997)

I enjoyed this but probably wouldn't watch it again. It oozes that trademark Lynch style, but I think it's average to below average for one of his movies. Nice job by the cast, including laughingstocks Gary Busey and Robert Blake.

I think the film was weird for the sake of being weird. It wasn't thought provoking and I didn't feel like there was any deeper meaning to it. Its strangeness was enough to keep me watching through its (thankfully) short run time, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it and probably won't ever watch it again.

My first response was the exact same as yours, i had no idea whether i'd watched the best or worst film ever made. Hopefully it plays on your mind like it did mine, but i doubt it after reading your comments.
