What movie did you last watch?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Cloverfield.

I really liked it. Sure, it was hyped totally beyond recognition but I nonetheless enjoyed it, mostly because it took place in the surroundings I lived in.

Saw "The Machinist" again... still a good movie .

Also saw "Death of a President". I can see this one beying very controversial, but I think they did a pretty good job with this one, I thought it was interesting. I thought it came across as pretty realistic and it didn't come across as the director was anti-Bush to me or something.

Just my

Also saw "Feed"... BAD, BAD, BAD!!!

Bruce Willis = A cross between Humphrey Bogart and Fred Flintstone.



I didn't make it up... that was a review from his acting career around "Moonlighting" time. I'm pretty sure it was meant as a compliment in some odd way....

And it's kind of accurate... if you say it as a compliment...

For some reason when I make my list of most versatile actors Willis never comes up. But when you look at it, he's done comedy, like in Blind Date, he's done drama with never a punch thrown or a car chase, like Sixth Sense and of course we all know the action movies.

And Pulp Fiction as well

Re: What movie did you last watch?

The only part I don't like about the whole franchise is the women in his life. What do these women need to respect and love Johnny boy? He has proven himself to be the most indestructible bada$$ on the planet while saving his wife's life in the first two....They still hate his a$$, leave him, won't talk to him, and won't even use his damn last name. I bet he was paying the bills for his little beyotch daughter to go to Rutgers....I woulda yanked that checkbook until she learned some damn respect....

Or, maybe he likes taking it rough from his women and channels that anger toward the bad guys...??

Seriously, I take it as an allegory for how police work affects family life. The prime example would be Jimmy McNulty on The Wire.

Heartbreak Kid

A lot better than it looks. It was funnier than I thought. More boobs than I thought. And more inappropriate than I thought as well. I would suggest checking it out.

Oh and the Counting Thread is coming for you Movie thread. So start sweating.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Saw IV

very typical saw movie.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

War

Interesting. Action packed, story line kinda dragged a bit. It was ok. I wouldnt watch it again.

"In the Valley of Ellah". Good movie, but you have to really be in the mood as it's not as easy to digest because of the style of filming and directing (slow-paced, very very sober, very much away from action-thrillers and the like). Good character building though and gives a nice picture of some of the things our young people have to go through in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

Again not an "easy" movie. No doubt a lot of people will think it's boring or whatever, but I thought the style fit very well.

Karla

It is about Karla Homoka and Paul Bernardo. It starts Laura Prepon or Donna from That 70's Show. It was a good movie. I am from Canada and totally didnt know this whole story. I knew the names but none of the story behind it.

It was a really good movie - should have figured you would like it also. Tommy Lee Jones was excellent. As you say it isn't a thrill a minute type movie - very somber. The message was clearly anti-war which is to be expected, I didn't like the little hints of anti-americianism. But it was a well made movie.

Edit: Watched "Transformers" over the weekend. Or I should say I watched the first 45 minutes. Of course it is a Michael Bay movie. I should have known, I honestly forget he directed it. I had to turn it off after 45 minutes, told the person I was watching it, I had seen enough. Horrible movie

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

As good as ever. One of my favorites and two of my favorite actors.

That movie rocked. You can't really appreciate it unless you really watched the cartoons

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I appreciated it, and I didn't watch the cartoons at all. I don't mind a good Michael Bay rip-roaring good time. It is, after all, supposed to be entertainment.

Please expound on why you didn't like Transformers. What did you really expect?
