Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Yea! one of my favorite Barbara Stanwyck movies, directed by good King Vidor.

I thought I was the only one who's seen this shill...my review

The only way I can sum it up, CR, is we're in the middle of a heatwave and the film left me as cold as a morgue; Had to get under a doona to watch this. Nthalie must have lived in cold storage for this shoot. I agree that the only good thing about it was the poster. So glad they didnt use the blood stained pink outfit for it!

Where is the thread?

I was going to make a poster with the blood stained pink outfit, but it wold take way to long, sounds like a job for Rodent.

House of Tolerance

So after long time waiting as a die hard Star Wars fan, finally I went for this double feature event last night.



Obviously they showed The Force Awakens again on IMAX screen, it was the 2nd time viewing for me, and I still loved it.



Things I didn't like about The Force Awakens:
- Same as pointed out by a lot of people, the plot is lack of originality
- The part Finn didn't get killed by Kylo near the end was pretty BS

But overall, J.J. Abrams did well, IMHO.



Then it was the real deal of the night, The Last Jedi, until it only turned out to be overshadowed by The Force Awakens. After the movie, I honestly felt that had I not have watched The Force Awakens first, I might enjoy The Last Jedi better.



Things I didn't like about The Last Jedi:
- A lot of lazy writings, just like all other Disney Marvel productions. Example: that kicking the pipe and catching the bomb detonator scene. It was so uninspiring and freaking lazy. Also, that Leia superman scene, LOL
- Snoke Snoke Snoke, no spoiler, you know what I am talking about
- The side quest between Finn and Rose is pointless and BORING, and also how did that Asian girl land her role?
- The plot is just a mess. They planted a few twists, if you think hard, it is not that great, they did it just for a cheap surprise to the viewers. Having twists for the sake of having twists is a bad habit of a lot of directors nowadays (The blame should go to Nolan). They think that actually make them look smart and if you don't like the plot, you simply just don't 'get it'.
- Humor, I laughed here and there, but then had face palm for the most part.

Overall, congratulations to Rian Johnson, who successfully destroyed the Star Wars franchise.

I will put my rank of all the Star Wars movies so you can logically put your expectations at the right place before watching The Last Jedi:

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rogue One
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Yes, The Last Jedi is at the bottom with Attack of the Clones and no kidding The Phantom Menace is even better.

I would only watch the next episode if Rey's father is jabba the hutt.

Bought that as a cheap order filler sometime and finally got round to watching it this Sept, don't rate it as highly as you (7/10 for me) but it's certainly well worth the time and better than I expected

Very good chance of making my 30s list, fantastic performance from Ms. Stanwyck and I've already banked this watch for her inevitable inclusion in your thread

Read your review earlier after I gave it an 'official' rating here - we're certainly the only two to have done that thus far and yeah, it's not one I'd particularly want to subject myself to again. Not seen his Another Earth before you ask - judging from this one his stuff probably isn't my cup of tea thematically so I'll not seek it out but will give it a chance if it happens to seek me out.

Jesus Christ man.

Good stuff.

I don't think I was suppose to laugh at the very end shot...

Don't feel bad, I laughed at Tyler Moore's emotional meltdown scene in Ordinary People because it reminded me of Christopher Guest directing Catheirne O'Hara in For Your Consideration..."vyawwllllwwwuuuuuww"!

The Florida Project



So after being upset and disappointed from watching The Last Jedi, this movie sort of made me feel better.

A simple beautiful indie movie. Reminds me a lot of Moonlight.

The little girl gave a way charming and better performance than the boy in Room.

If this film could have had a little better plot, it would be a masterpiece.

Brawl In Cell Block 99

Sphere (1998)

Honestly if you haven't watched this and ever intend to just don't it's appaling. Although the scene where Queen Latifha gets killed by a swarm of jellyfish is gold dust, not because of the CGI that's shockingly bad too throughout, just the fact that it's her getting attacked. We had Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L, Liev Scrheiber all in leading roles but none of them could save this. A complete and utter mess of a movie it ends up being 3 people on a boat underwater all with the power to make what they imagine really happen, I think? Or able to make their dreams really happen, I honestly don't know or care it's just woeful. 2 hours 15 mins why why why did it have to be this long they could have easily snipped 45 minutes off this and no-one would have noticed.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I think this film will definitely not sit well for every Star Wars fan, but it will at least trigger interesting conversations among some of us. For me, while a couple of issues did bother me, mostly with pacing, inconsistency, and a struggling climax, I still regard this as a fantastic Star Wars experience. With bold storytelling, a narrative that challenges the audience, complex and edge-of-your-seat characterization, and jaw-dropping moments, this is a movie that left the inner Star Wars fan in me happy.

SCORE - 90/100

Check out my full review in my 2017 movie thread if you want details on why I love this movie enough to give it such a high score.
