Rate The Last Movie You Saw

A Bad Son - 8/10
I saw an earlier movie with Patrick Dewaure which reminded me of Buffalo '66, and Vincent Gallo. Then I see this... A guy who gets out of prison.... The first thing I did was to look him up, thinking "He's probably dead" and come to see he did kill himself at the age of 35. Damn good actor.

I was sure you would love Wendy and Lucy. I own Ocean’s 8, but haven’t seen it yet.

Haven’t seen the middle movie, but the other two are good. Seen Blow Up a million times.

There's Something About Mary (1998)

There were a lot of gross-out moments in this which I didn't like. I don't think I laughed at anything.

It also made me terrified of starting to date again since this film shows how people can easily pretend to be what they think you want instead of showing you who they really are. On the plus side, Cameron Diaz is beautiful and her character in this film is lovely.

Noroît (1976, Jacques Rivette)
-

Another enigmatic, intellectually demanding piece of postmodern, experimental filmmaking from Rivette - temporally and spatially unspecific, very 'meta' in terms of narrative, very improvisational, but also rather frustrating in its impenetrability. The cinematography, location scenery, use of color and costumes were beautiful, almost magical at times, but I just had a really hard time getting into the story. Rivette's style is a tough nut to crack, for sure, and definitely an acquired taste.

This is my second Rivette, after "Celine and Julie...", and I enjoyed the latter a lot more - in fact, I thought that movie was a flat-out masterpiece.

The Other Side of the Wind (2018)


What an unbelievable piece of filmmaking. I loved the psychedelic feel to it, even though it didn't really strike me as Welles-esque, likewise the sex scene which was probably my favourite bit in the whole film. Lastly, Huston was magnificent as Hannaford, its just a pity we didn't see him and Orson together.

Beau Pere - 7.5/10

6/10.
Some laugh out loud moments. The music was good.
I don't quite understand the point of Traci Lord's character, and her acting was not good.

Barefoot in the Park

TokeZa's inane ramblings about film

Letterboxd profile

I love director Joe D'Amato even if he never made a good movie. He's a master of the seedy and sleazy. In this movie a killer(the great George Eastman) kills tourists on a scenic island. Much of it is pretty dull except for a few stand out scenes, one of which I'll describe by stealing from IMDb- "a pregnant woman is attacked by the monster who puts his hand up her dress and pulls her unborn fetus out of her vagina and takes a bite out of it." I think I did that once in my drinking days.

Jesus! Thought that was just regular guts but that’s featus guts. That should not be eaten raw and without salt.

That's actually his own guts in a different scene, although you are correct on how fetus guts should be eaten.

Lol! I should have known.
