What's the last movie you've seen?

[Eraserhead]

Re-viewed The Graduate.  Man it is impressive how much better 1967 was than now!

So true.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Jennifer's Body

Pretty disappointing but there is a pretty good lesbian kissing scene.

How naked is Megan Fox?

There isn't really any legit nudity from her which is partly why the movie fails, overall.

Re-viewed The Graduate.  Man it is impressive how much better 1967 was than now!

So true.

Everybody was smoking like chimneys, drinking nice hard highballs (mostly Martinis), and ing around.  Oh man, what's happened to us.  We're like that movie with the society of 40 year old virgins and Sylvester Stallone frozen.

Actually no, but its never far from my thoughts.

Never would have figured you for someone who watched somewhat recent (90s onward) movies.

Strangers on a Train (1951)

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Scarlet Dawn - William Dieterle

Starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr and Nancy Carroll

US/German movie movie of 1932 about a Russian Prince fleeing in Turkey because of the communist revolution, as said the guy presenting the art house cinema program, the movie is only about 55 mins, and it shows well that we can make good movies in that duration, that we may live an epoch in which movies are uselessly too long.

Just before it, I saw:

Sonnenallee - Leander Haussman

German movie of 1999 about the youth in East-Berlin in the '70s. Very good, with a light, funny, ironical tone, tries to give an idea of what could have been the epoch for youth there. Far better than Good Bye Lenin to me.

[Reaganfan]

Haven't checked them in for a few weeks....

A Perfect World, 1993 film with Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood about an escaped convict who kidnaps but befriends a young boy in November 1963 Texas. Excellent.

15 Minutes, 2001 thriller with Robert DeNiro, Edward Burns and Kelsey Grammer about a cop and a fire marshall who hunt down and then become hunted by Russian killers. Decent.

Porkys, 1982 comedy film about a group of High School friends trying to get some girlie-action in 1954 South Florida. Hilarious!

Night Shift, 1982 comedy with Michael Keaton and Henry Winkler about workers who decide to use their morgue as a place of prostitution. Funny as hell.

Cops and Robbersons, 1994 comedy with Chevy Chase and Jack Palance about a wanna-be cop family man who has to invite police into his home for a stakeout.

Weekend at Bernie's, 1989 comedy classic with Andrew McCarthy and Jonathon Silverman. EVERYONE should see this if they haven't.

He Knows You're Alone, 1980 horror film about a killer who goes around hunting down would-be brides. Tom Hanks has his first film role in this decent early 1980s slasher.

Airheads, 1994 comedy with Brendan Frasier, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler about a bunch of rock wanna-bes who hold a radio station hostage.

Dumb and Dumber, 1994 comedy classic with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. In my opinion, quite possibly the funniest film ever.

Die Hard, 1988 action pic with Bruce Willis as an NYPD detective who has to take on terrorists who overtake an L.A. building on Christmas Eve. Classic action pic.

Zombieland

Really awesome. Just a lot of fun.

I saw a good chunk of Moore's new movie as well which looked pretty interesting.

[Lief 🗽]

The Squid and the Whale

Really good. Kind of a more realistic and less oddball Wes Anderson film.

[bullmoose88]

Zombieland

Really awesome. Just a lot of fun.

This.

Heels to Jesus.

[ChrisJG777]

As far as I can remember, Blade Runner, I think.

[Psychic Octopus]

Seven Pounds

[Gustaf]

Inglorious Basterds

I really liked it.

On TV, I saw The Bourne Identity recently. That sucked. Action movies really are a worthless genre.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

The Yellow ticket

Not fantastic but not bad. Would it be just for the face-to-face between the actors Elissa Landi (a beauty) and Lionel Barrymore, as an awful Russian aristocrat, in a kind of beauty and the beast style.

Just before:

Die Legende von Paul und Paula

A movie made in East Germany in 1973. Not bad, really. Me is who is often fed up with the classicism of movies today, with that, I had something to deal with.

Mostly the form and the tone of most what Hollywood and the French cinema use to do today. I'm hard-pressed to find something that surprises me, that interests me, brings me something, in all kind of films. How to say it, most of time it's a kind of "politically correct stuff", the expression is to be taken in a wide sens, not especially the moral, I'm not a fan of stuffs that break moral codes just in order to break them, it's just the sceneries, the characters, and the scenarios too. In short most of films today just don't catch me.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Toy Story and Toy Story 2, in the 3-D double feature.  Both are really, really good movies.

[Beet]

The Last Picture Show (1971). Peter Bogdanovich. Timothy Bottoms. Jeff Bridges. Cybill Shepard.

This is the story of a dying small town in west Texas in 1951-1952, and the human difficulties in coping with that change. A low key, melancholy realism. If made today it probably would not gross much, but in its time was nominated for eight academy awards including Best Picture.

I've read the book, never seen the movie.

The author of the book, Larry McMutry, grew up in Texas and his novel is semi-autobiographical. He also shares screenwriting credits for the movie with Bogdanovich. The winner of Best Picture 1983, Terms of Endearment, was based on another novel by him; he also shares Best Adapted Screenplay 2005 with Diana Ossana for Brokeback Mountain.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Rise of the Footsoldier.

Dumb movie. Hyper-violent yet still gets boring.

Michael Collins

I also saw two movies on Saturday evening. One typical French movie (dramatic comedy with no real ending) and Brassed Off.
