Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Drive


Touching yet tragic storyline, deep characters played by a talented cast, beautiful cinematography, and uniquely fitting music. Couldn't find a single negative. Absolutely loved it. Kind of makes me feel less for Only God Forgives.

It Follows


While It Follows commits one of the cardinal sins of horror movies by not being that scary (there was one scare that worked real well though) and has some pacing issues in the middle, the areas it does focus on (atmosphere, music, cinematography, characters) worked well and I liked the unique twist they used with the classic slasher theme.

That's how I seen that film too. The title was the best part. To bad it wasn't a James Bond flick.

Kingdom of Heaven -

Must be one hell of a director's cut that is able to redeem a film that is pretty standard for Scott.

I watched Layer Cake last night.

A more than watchable British gangster flick.
Kenneth Cranham and Michael Gambon accompanies Daniel Craig in a fast moving story around the theft of 5 million ecstasy pills.
The soundtrack is also excellent with Sienna Millar looking delishus in black lingerie.
8.5/10

Layer Cake is a DAMN GOOD film




A Bittersweet Life (KOREAN) Every single thing was spot on. The cinematography, the dialogue, the acting, the fights and the shoot outs, the pacing - everything. Just a truly excellent film from the very beginning to the very end.

This movie was my introduction to Jennifer Lawrence, it was quite the first impression.

King Kong (2005)

Rewatched this again. If only every remake was this good. I don't even care if it is an hour too long, a great update to King Kong. I cannot wait for Skull Island and King Kong vs Godzilla. The monster movie lover inside of me's thirst will be quenched.

I...Comme Icare/ I As In Icarus (1979) - Henri Verneuil



Very businessman like in its making, tense and gripping...the ending is rather obvious but that doesn't spoil anything...

8.5 out of 10

Borgman (2013) - Alex van Warmerdam



This I found very interesting...a rather puzzling experience. Many interpretations are probably possible. I see it mostly as the worst nightmare of the 'Haves' to lose all that they possess...and the film slowly but surely makes that nightmare a reality...

8.5 out of 10

Empire of the Sun -

Can't decide whether or not the fact that a lot of Spielberg's more serious films tend to be quality is a good thing or not.

Very good documentary, but I didn't find it to be as dramatic as I expected. The two boys are pretty good boys, but I kind of thought they were underachievers. I was rooting for them, but I didn't feel that they worked as hard as they could, to be the best that they could be. This prevented me from being completely involved with their characters. Of course, they're dealing with a very tough environment. I remember Cabrini Green from growing up in Chicago. Mayor Jane Byrne spent a night there once back in 1981, and a song came out about it. I remember that it went-Cabrini Green where the mayor sleeps.....It was very funny, but I can't find it anywhere. I found it very interesting seeing the recruitment process play out, and also how the families supported their sons. Those were my two favorite aspects of the movie. It's a little long at just a shade under three hours.

Husbands -

Haven't seen a film this vile since Hard to be a God.

Ant-Man
Hidden (2015)

6/10

I like crime/thug movies set in England, and this one is about hooligans. It's not one of the best, but it has lively characters, a few recognizable actors I like, colorful language, and a few major brawls. A nice recommendation by HK.

Second viewing of this film, wasn't that keen on it this time around.

OMG She is just like O-ren ishii!!

That^^and it's sequel are on my watchlist. Not sure how they got there; maybe from you, Neiba?
