Rate The Last Movie You Saw

I actually really enjoy this film although I'm not a fan of the ending and some of the dialogue is a little cheeky, but it builds very (in my opinion) dimensional characters and probably has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

+

I think the dream sequences and the cinematography in general are far superior to Tarkovsky....

Seen all of these, but good recommendations:

Lone Survivor -

American Sniper -

Jarhead - +

Inglorious Basterds -

Black Hawk Down -

I'm not saying I'm in love with the film, but I'm not sure I agree with your feelings toward the film either. The bear scene had me at the edge of my seat even though it was really obvious CGI imo. About Lubezki's camera I feel as though it wasn't obvious he was there, but like his most of his work he was guiding me through the story and emphasizing the symbolism of all of his shots. You may disagree with the themes of the film, but you have to admire the conditions they were in and the rich symbolism and interpretations you can take from the film. I have gripes about it too, but I did think the best part is the cinematography.

I watched "Sicario" twice and it was good both times. If you like atmosphere in the movie, you will like to revisit it, because the movie does not concentrate on mystery that much. I think "Sicario" is one of the best movies of 2015.

Room
Spectre
The Revenant

Titanic A+

Haha yeah that was confusing. Matt seems to be averse to movies that aren't script/dialogue heavy, which is unlike me. But here I wasn't evaluating the movie at all!

Been a while. . .




After Life (Japan) The dead are sent to a social worker setting to tell their most significant/happy memory to be recreated for them to be in for eternity. It's very similar to a documentary setup, which works perfectly for it. Quite endearing and touching film.




The Perfect Host A bank-robber looking to hideout from the police picks the WRONG house. Some very serious potential that didn't quite make it. I kept feeling I should be enjoying it more than I actually did.




The Paperboy a truly gritty, realistically violent, dark film that seemed a bit lost in it's self.




(REWATCH) Minions How I DO love me some Minions!!




The Lunchbox (Hindu) Quite an emotionally beautiful scenario develops between two lonely individuals who begin to send notes to one another when a lunchbox continues to be delivered to the wrong person.

Ben-Hur (William Wyler, 1959) -

Big Hero 6 (Don Hall/Chris Williams, 2014) - +

It's nice to see some love for Minions. I loved that movie.

Compared to the first one the second part is a popcorn movie

Paper Moon - 8/10

Very fun movie. I liked the script, acting, and the pairing is cute (real life father and daughter)

8/10

Woman in the Window

Watched it after Scarlet Street. Another brilliant movie made by Fritz Lang.


Marnie



Lolita

Totally agree. Big fan of all three. Puts a big fat smile on my face every single time!!

I love the Minions too. I even have Minion toys all over my desk.

8/10

I Love You Alice B. Toklas - 5/10

Not a good movie, but I wanted something light-hearted before the flight.

Air Force One (1997) - rewatch



Air Force One has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Despite some of the ridiculous plot elements and mediocre acting, it does a good job of keeping the intensity level up from start to finish.
