Rate The Last Movie You Saw

A perdre la raison [Our Children] (Joachim Lafosse, 2012) +
Tragic but imo the director lost his own sense of reason in including the opening

2/5

Very average. Fortunatelly, there is Keanu Reeves in the cast.

The film must be awful then, if Keanu Reeves’ acting is the saving grace.

Tried many times to watch this movie, which is strange since it’s an excellent movie. Which I discovered at the weekend when I was determined to finish it.



Quite good, but more like a TV movie. Woody Harrelson & Jennifer Jason Leigh both very good as Mr. & Mrs. LBJ.

It's brilliant, and very well directed. Surely you'd call it a comic book/superhero film before we get to action or horror? It was a real shame about the sequels, and I never saw much of the TV series to pick up on its merits.

2I don't think it's an easy watch but a rewarding one Stirchley, "Ordinary People".

He walked the line (performance wise) between believable loving father and THUG....great acting.

Need to say this because I’m passionate. The only real shame was blade 3. Blade 2 directed by Guillermo del toro is a decent film. Personally I like it more than the original. Feel it ramps up the action and coolness factor. Not problem with someone liking it less but it’s a worthy sequel - 3 is not.

One of Cruise’s best, for sure. Really stretched him as an actor.

They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)

Grotesquely beautiful glimpse of World War I.

I nice easy breezy movie. Nice to see Redford but at this point he seems more like the ghost of Redford. I liked Sissy Spacek, and strangely enough I found her more appealing now as an old fossil than when she was a spring chicken. Casey Affleck was great in a less intense role than usual, and it's the first time my wife liked him. The movie does a great job at capturing the era.

LBJ - 2/10
This is a big phony movie. Just terrible. Even the "bung-hole" telephone call (which is on YouTube) is horribly played. Where was the "Johnson Treatment"? Where were his daughters? So much inaccuracy. LBJ constantly voted against Civil Rights, until it became politically expedient to do so...

This is what you get with when a movie is made by a right-winger posing as a professional Democrat.

Lately, I've stopped including movies like these, in an effort not to advertise it.

Don't hold back, Matt, how did you really feel about the movie?

WarGames (1983)

Pain and Gain (2013)
A pretty good biopic/crime comedy directed by Micheal Bay.
8/10

Looking forward to this. Going next Wednesday...

Theory of Everything (2014)

I was hoping for a little bit more, but this was still a pretty good telling of Stephen Hawking's life. It focused a bit more on the personal side of things as opposed to the science side. I'm still not sure what I think about Eddie Redmayne in movies though....

Kuroneko (1968)

Kinda like Onibaba but little worse.
