Rate The Last Movie You Saw

I thought he would but yes, will be watching and reporting back.. Thank you.

It's not a movie I enjoy except for small parts but there are an awful lot worse out there and I quite like K-Hep.

A Star Is Born (William A. Wellman & Jack Conway, 1937)
The cycle of life, Hollywood style

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I hope it will change soon
I've got similar feeling about main characters - since I've been older, I prefer to watch characters at my age . They look like teenagers.

Blade Runner (1982)



Was listening to the commentary last night with Ridley Scott on the 4-disk collector's edition and apparently an Edward Hopper painting was snuck into the movie somewhere, and I had mentioned previously that Alien Covenant had an Arnold Böcklin painting as well...

I hope this strange obsession of mine doesn't spiral into watching all of his movies trying to find more, but since I am familiar with Hopper I might as well watch Blade Runner a few more times, right?

edit: Just googled to try to find the connection and Nighthawks kept coming up. While I think that it certainly might have had an influence on the movie, I don't think that it was the painting that he was referencing in his commentary.

Waga seishun ni kuinashi [No Regrets For Our Youth] (Akira Kurosawa, 1946)
She's certainly a grafter that Setsuko Hara

I actually looked up the original comic book that this came from and on the very first page it says: "Our young heroes," so, the age thing IS correct, but I kept wondering while I watched it, "They call him Major, and that takes a bit a time and experience to attain, so. . . did he join up when he was twelve??"
While, at the same time I kept telling myself: this is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy, reality has NOTHING to do with it. Let it go and enjoy the ride already.

I've seen Kiss of Death (1947) several times, but Cooper (my dog) was watching it for the first time while I was completely rearranging my office. While Cooper loved Richard Widmark's Tommy Udo, he thought that Victor Mature's performance was stale in comparison.

RATING:


I finally got to watch Duke Mitchell's follow up to Massacre Mafia Style (1974): Gone with the Pope (1976/2010). Cooper also watched this with me, but fell asleep about after 10 minutes. For those unaware of the story, Mitchell shot Gone With the Pope in 1976 and just lost touch with all the people working on the film and he eventually died of lung cancer in 1981. It was stowed away in his son's garage until Oscar winning editor Bob Murawski (Army of Darkness, Spider-Man, The Hurt Locker) recovered the working print and completed the film in 2010. The finished product is a movie lost in time; while we're seeing vintage location shots of 70s Vegas, the editing style is very modern.

The beginning of the film is fantastic, where Mafia bosses gather and decide rather to continue the Chicago Outfit's skim on Las Vegas casinos. It reminded me alot of Casino (1995) in subject matter; they even bring up that the Feds were bringing in agents that could lipread to spy on mobsters. There are a few hold outs, and that's when the mob hires newly released convict Paul (Duke Mitchell) to get rid of the mob bosses that want to keep the skim going. We are then treated to alot of guerrilla shots of dirty, sleazy, 70s Vegas (when the mob was actually skimming off of the casinos). After murdering a few mob higher ups, Paul then decides to take his also newly released convict friends on a private yacht cruise from LA to Anzio. The film then quickly switches gears (the DVD/Blu-Ray set contains an interview with Peter Santoro, who lit the film for as little as $20 a day, saying that there was no script for Gone With the Pope, just a bunch of connected ideas) into a scheme to kidnap the Pope and charge every Catholic in the world for his safe return. The movie then turns into a sort of spiritual journey about friendship, faith, and Mitchell's own (often misguided) worldview through numerous monologues.

While Gone with the Pope isn't as offensive as Massacre Mafia Style, there's still alot of bad taste in here to savor. But what has improved between the two films is Mitchell's camera work: Gone with the Pope is shot insanely better than Massacre Mafia Style (it also helps to have an academy award winner be your editor). Aside from a few shots in the beginning of the film that are terribly out of focus, Gone With the Pope is a dramatic improvement in Mitchell's craft; I wish he would have gone on to make more films.

Based on your review and these titles, this movie just sounds like good, gory fun.

Les Maudits - 6/10

If you love boats, this movie is for you!

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Just want to thank @Thursday Next for posting about this in this thread. The line that it out Jarmusched Jarmusch had me hooked since I really love his Only Lovers Left, and let me tell ya, it did NOT disappoint. There was even a little more sense of danger, an uncertainty of what would occur that I loved.
While, yes, a slow burner, it has a artistic brilliance to the camera style that makes it VERY worthwhile.




(MULTIPLE REWATCH) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang I just love watching this movie, again and again. I would love to see Kilmer and Downey do another movie together - they compliment and work brilliantly together and Michelle Monaghan, besides being all kinds of gorgeous, was a frickin delight in this.

Hahahaha, I'm glad that my post made you laugh!

I can't recommend Intruder enough. If you enjoy that, two more B horror films you may enjoy are both on youtube: Chopping Mall (1986) and Evilspeak (1981).

Alone In Berlin
