Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Alright. You watch your Mrs. Doubtfire and then watch World's Greatest Dad with me. Unless you want to do a Mrs. Doubtfire commentary, but I'll understand if you need to be alone with Mrs. Doubtfire.

There are quite a few modern actors that I love (Joaquin Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, John Cusack, Bruce Campbell) and a few modern directors that are pretty safe bets for me (Spielberg, Scorcese, Burton, Fincher, Tarantino, Mangold). But the 60s is a wasteland for that. Once we get to the 50s and 40s I'll have an easier time, since that's when Hitchcock was at his best and also when Victor Mature did the bulk of his ham-tastic performances.

I don't think I need to be alone with Mrs. Doubtfire. Assuming it gets delivered at a reasonable time (and not late at night, which seems to happen a lot for some reason), we could do a Doubtfire commentary if you want.

Most of those actors are good actors, (but sometimes I think Johnny Depp is overrated), and I'll see their movies if the movie sounds interesting, but the only modern actor I can think of who I'll see just about anything he does is Kevin Spacey.

Captain America The Winter Soldier (again)
The Hitcher
Stake Land

Slow and tedious. Pretty to look at though.

Now you're just talking crazy.

You talkin' to me?

Yup.

Is that the original version of The Hitcher? Surely not.

I thought the same. The Hitcher is a classic!

Auto Focus (2002)

I love that movie; a hidden gem for me.

I wondered why this movie beat out Apocalypse Now for best picture for a while now. I was even a bit upset since Apocalypse Now is one of my all time favorite films. Well after finally seeing it, I can say I have to reason be upset. It is a great movie.

Is that you have a reason, but it's a great film or was it meant to read "I have no reason to be upset"?

More no reason to be upset. It is not a Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas situation, which still ticks me off.

Dances With Wolves >>>>> Goodfellas

Wait until Dark

Okay. Merely "Ok".

Audrey Hepburn does a terrific job as a blind woman trying to cope with criminals trying desperately to find a "Heroin" doll located somewhere inside her house. There are a few eventful scenes, but sadly the film isn't nearly as suspenseful as it tries to be. Its located in one-location for the majority of the time but it starts to become rather tedious. It works in great films like 12 Angry Men, but its not nearly as effective here.

Overall, Wait until Dark is an alright, if underwhelming thriller. Not a must-watch for the 60's list.
