Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely be watching more of his filmography. Super talented.

2 hours later.....

I was able to knock out a few movies during Thanksgiving Eve/Thanksgiving Night. The first two were a compromise with the wife, since I was making her sit through a few of mine.



RATING:

I don't dislike him or any of his films yet, just didn't love most them. Wild Strawberries, Through a Glass Darkly, The Virgin Spring, The Seventh Seal, Persona. The latter three are all around . To be fair though i have to see Persona again, watched it when i was tired so i don't think i followed it properly. Planning on seeing Scenes From a Marriage next, relationship breakdown films can be great and i can imagine Bergman doing a good job with it.

Kidnap -

Kendrick Lamar was right, it really does go Halle Berry or hallelujah.

Good choice, yeah, the dialouge in Scenes is incredible. Persona just grows with me, definitely needs to be watched at least a couple times. I need to rewatch Autumn Sonata, think that is still my fave. Nothing against B&W cinematography but Bergman's compositions shine in color.

Cries and Whispers is the one i fear most haha. Heard it's great but probably his toughest to watch.

My first Bergman and I definitely was more of a mainstream watcher then. Gave it a 5, so don't worry. Probably the film that changed my viewing habits the most since coming to Mofo.

still havent knocked down my first bergman. Soon though I will.

I have yet to find a Bergman film I like. Ain't saying they're bad, just saying they haven't got my interest yet.

I'd recommend The Virgin Spring as a starting point. It's very simple and well paced from what i remember.

I was surprised that Gary Oldman ended up being in this, but what you see in the trailer is pretty much what you get for two hours. Not really worth checking out.

RATING:




I feel I missed out on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets by not watching it in theaters. Like every sci-fi Luc Besson movie, it's all about visuals. But I ended up enjoying Valerian, frankly it was just good to see Clive Owen in a movie again. I don't know if I'd be up for a sequel, but I liked it enough to where it peaked my interest in reading the source material.

RATING:



I first saw Angel Heart about ten years ago and it was a movie that I appreciated more than I enjoyed at the time. I loved the mixing of the noir/horror genre, and I really think that this movie doesn't get the attention/appreciation that it deserves. As someone who is from Louisiana (basically an hour south of New Orleans, the Voodoo stuff was filmed where I'm from), it was good to see a 1950s set New Orleans. The accents/presentation of culture isn't the greatest, but it's a helluva lot better than The Big Easy (1986) (which is basically Cajun blackface). I do have problems with the story though, and it might have been something I always missed,

But despite my problems with the film, I'm all about it.

RATING:


I was always aware of Family Enforcer, but always found excuses to not watch it. I finally bit the bullet last night, and I do not regret it. Yes, it's low budget, cheap, the camera work is uninspired, and Joseph Cortese isn't the greatest tough guy, but (first time billing) Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent both shine in this movie. I think the film's low budget works in its favor, and makes Family Enforcer feel more street level. I don't know if the lack of success lead to Ralph De Vito abandoning his career as a filmmaker (Family Enforcer is basically the poor man's Mean Streets) but I think there is enough there to appreciate De Vito's work, and I would have liked to have seen more of it.

RATING:

like @Iroquois stated perfectly, that's I saw it as well, @Gangland.

Also, I have Valerian waiting for me at the library and, yeah, truly wished I caught this at the movie theater. Definitely would have been one for the 3D experience for sure.

I appreciate the responses, I probably was just overthinking the plot and was looking for something more that wasn't there.

The Master: 2012
The only cult where you can dance with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and naked ladies.

Slow to get going, but interesting movie. What a slime Armstrong was.
