Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Sex Lies and Videotape. Watched it again, well written well acted drama. 8/10.

Saw Beauty and the Beast at the cinema today. I was a bit on the skeptical side, as it's not really my usual cup of tea and in all honesty I probably wouldn't have bothered but for the fact I like Emma Watson, but I actually generally really enjoyed it. One or two of the songs had me rolling my eyes and went on a bit too long but for the most part it was really, really fun, bouyed by the lovely lead actress (certainly the best thing she's done since Perks, hopefully The Circle will be great too). Had a really good time with this.

In the Line of Fire -

Yeah, I think I'm actually starting to get tired of Clint Eastwood movies.

Mrs. Miniver (1942)



I thought both Greer Garson and Teresa Wright delivered solid performances. Glad they received Oscars.

I saw this about 20 years ago when my wife and I watched a bunch of classics, and I hardly remembered any of it. She remembered more than I did, something that got me the evil eye since I had told her she'd never seen it. One of the great things for me while focusing on 40's movies has been rediscovering Humphrey Bogart in his prime. Another great thing has been the discovery Edward G. Robinson. Here they go head to head with Bogie being a Major just out of the military, and Robinson being a gangster. The setting is a Florida hotel right on the water and in the midst of a hurricane. The supporting cast featuring Lauren Bacall and Lionel Barrymore is also a big plus. This is an awesome classic crime thriller with some of cinema's greatest legends. It is a must see.

Good remake.

I'm surprised so many people understood what was happening, just from the musical cue.

I gave TED 2012 an 8/10. Thought it was pretty funny.

Is there something wrong with me?

Puppetmaster (1989)
Director: David Schmoeller

Cool idea but Stuart Gordon's "Dolls" did it much better.

This movie is slow and the casting was bad. Acting poor. Tedious to sit through. Good doll fx but not enough to warrant a good b picture. Surprised this is the one that gets all of the attention. For a much better film, see Dolls from 1987.

EDIT: I'll try it again later, it did have some good moments. Maybe the mood wasn't right. For now I'm sticking with 2 boxes.

Sátántangó (1994, Béla Tarr)

Quite possibly the greatest film I've seen to date. A towering cinematic achievement, no doubt.

That cat scene, though...

I agree with you 100%. I'm actually rewatching it this weekend. :

I can't rate this because this isn't a normal movie. There are lots of explanations for all of the things that "make no sense". This is art!

The Love Witch

THE WATCH (2012)

I'm sorry but I really like this movie. It's ridiculous and vulgar and I like it. I like the ensemble and a lot of the improvised lines. Vince Vaughn, I'm a big fan of his. He's a complete doofus on purpose and I like to see energy being projected outward the way he does it. I don't care that Costco's is one of the major plot points. I really don't. Big deal. How about mentioning Glen Matlock as being the better bassist in the Sex Pistols. It's not hip to sell out or be the crowd pleasing movie for everyone, and that involves having integrity. The Watch has none of that. It's a complete corporate money grabber. It at least broke even I think. Again, who cares. It's funny. I turn it on and watch it to lift my sprits. Last night my spirits were lifted. "The man is a f*ckin* C*NT!" (referring to an alien creature)

Hardcore Camel toe situation. Might have to check it out.

Re-watched this with my wife. Such a classic.
