Rate The Last Movie You Saw

I enjoyed the first one a lot more and maybe the third one even more, the second one I thought was rubbish

Last week I watched "La La Land"

Rating: 9/10

cast: 9/10
Direction: 8/10

I really don't get where all the high ratings keep coming from this movie, I gave it quite a positive review but in hindsight I don't think it was that good.. or funny and I have no wish to see it again

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)
God Told Me To (1976)
The Organizer (1963)
Bitter Rice (1949)

Obesity combined with a punk ass attitude are now pretty much world staples. I'm sure that contributes to its popularity.

In the mood for love



Look like love affair is not my cup of sesame syrup but i like how the story be represented. The cinematography is w o w, only I had time get used into it at first. Have thought that it feel.. a little bit overdone in few moments. probably it's just I don't understand much what they emphasized through some of the camerawok and editing trick.

At first scene on singapore they played "by the river of love" at the background but then cut it short . Wonder with the original song popularity in chinese/hk


In the end gorgeous movie, nice soundtrack

Split (2017) - +
James McAvoy:

By far the best Shyamlan film since the Sixth Sense.

The film looks and sounds great, McAvoy gives a simply amazing performance, and the film has a final scene that was legitimately surprising. However, that doesn't really make up for the fact that I thought a lot of the plot was really dumb and I didn't like the 3 girls at all.

Split is worth seeing for James McAvoy alone, and it's nice to see Shyamalan display a lot of restraint. The more I think about it, the more I like this movie, and I'll definitely check it out again when it comes out on video, but as it stands I wasn't that impressed with the film as a whole.

Edit: Talking about this film with my room mate some more has convinced me to give it another half star.

Sisters - Silly fun, Bobby Moynihan stole the show. 3/5.

Meh, I enjoyed this but Jennifer Jason Leigh was wasted in this film.

Now that says a lot.

Body double is strange in a good way. Almost mesmerizing to watch.

I didn't like the film as a whole nearly as much as I enjoyed McAvoy's performance, though 3/5 is still a rather solid rating in my opinion.

Yes, it is, but, it just sounds like McAvoy is carrying the film.

I'm trying to convince my wife to let me go see Split while she watching Jackson for two hours.


So far it's not looking good.

Suspect's Reviews

Same director as The Triplets of Belleville, another animated movie that I had similar feelings for. I also noticed Jacques Tati's name on the poster, and I kept thinking of a couple of his movies while watching this one, and sure enough, there's a movie reference within. I think it's just the sense of humor I'm not a fan of. The characters and story didn't do much to make me care, and I think I could have used some dialogue. However, I very much appreciated a different style of animated film from most other's I've seen. It also looks fantastic and I loved the settings.

I love that guy. Triplets of Belleville is one of my favorites, The Illusionist really moved me, and his live action film Attila Marcel is good too. I love that sort of odd French charm though.
