What's the last movie you've seen?

[Lief 🗽]

Milk

Good, not great. The acting was uniformly superb though.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

JFK (1991)

One of Stone's better films, however like a vast majority of his films, JFK went for far too long. However, a part from the duration factor I profoundly enjoyed it. Surprisingly for the first time I considered Kevin Costner to be a good actor!

Mein Freund aus Faro.

Explaining the ways in which this was a great movie and the ways in which it sucked will take longer than I have now.

[JSojourner]

A wonderfully campy, 1958 flick with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee called...The Horror of Dracula.

Not nearly as interesting as Interview or Bram Stoker's Dracula, and no way near as aesthetically pleasing or just plain quirky as HBO's True Blood...

still...it was good retro fun.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Role Models.

Very very funny.

[??????????]

Saw V

The Blair Witch Project


kinda silly

[Platypus]

I watched Don's Party and Running With Scissors last night.

Don's Party was kinda funny, and very retro; Running With Scissors i'll have to watch again to really judge.

[Lief 🗽]

Night of the Living Dead.

Awesome, especially the ending.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Even Horizon.

Wow. "Bad" would be the understatement of the century.

[Lief 🗽]

Quantum of Solace.

Stupid, boring, a sh**tty Bourne rip-off.

[Reaganfan]

Okay...caught up on a bunch of flicks this month so far...

Fatal Attraction (1987) with Michael Douglas and Glenn Close

This movie is a classic thriller that should scare the bejesus out of any man thinking of cheating on his wife.

Child's Play 2 (1990)

An okay sequel to an okay horror film. Chucky is your most loveable horror movie killer...and probably the funniest.

Child's Play 3 (1991)

Not as good as Child's Play 2, but what do you expect? Made in 1991...this horror film was past the Reagan-era Slasher genre and before the Clinton-era "Scream" genre. Basically, the George H.W. Bush horror movie era sucked.

Halloween REMAKE (2007)

Good for a film on it's own, but not even remotely close to the strength of the original 1978 classic or it's many sequels.

Ghost Dad (1990)

Even though it bombed and was critically panned, Bill Cosby is hilarious in his warm family comedy that I had the pleasure of seeing way back 15+ years ago as a little kid...and watching it as a grown up still tickles my heart. Good stuff.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

Too Stylistic and Shallow with a smattering with some very good ideas not done very well. Interesting and entertaining, but no Die Edukators.

[Gustaf]

Lindsay Anderson If....

Fantastic, we need more old-timey British "public school" (that's a private school for most here) movies.

Interesting film, indeed.

[Jake]

Bond. Visually stunning. Fabulous opening. Then they kind of got away from what makes a Bond movie great. Still enjoyable, but not as good as the masterpiece that was Casino Royale. Craig played his role to perfection though and the last three minutes were great.

Requiem for a Dream


just saw it...I am pretty destroyed by it right now...

Requiem for a Dream


just saw it...I am pretty destroyed by it right now...

seriously I am absolutely done...  how do we send heroin addicts to jail?  in the USA?  how?  tantamount to torture...  I have nobody to talk to about it... I am absolutely alone

why on earth would you voluntarily watch that film (especially alone)

[Lief 🗽]

So, I was supposed to do work today, but then I saw that Requiem for a Dream was on Hulu and I'd never seen it but heard that it was a pretty good movie. And then I come here and read the last three posts. Weird coincidence.

But I don't think any film has ever affected me emotionally as much as that film just did. Like. I need somebody to hug me. Jesus Christ.

[Gustaf]

Saw V

This can be interpreted in two different ways.

Requiem for a Dream makes one feel pretty badly. At the same time, I felt it was a little too dark, with too little hope for me to be touched THAT deeply. I get numbed by those kind of stories. Also, the characters are a little too, I don't know, stupid? They don't seem to realize what they're doing with their lives. I was actually most touched by the old woman. She seemed to be more of a normal person to begin with and her life was destroyed in such a strange way.

[Plant City Rebel]

Madagascar 2--not the best, but it was the girls' turn to choose the movie.  So, it wasa between Bolt, and Madagascar.   So Madagascar it was.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I just saw Mr Bean, Holiday on Thursday night and Home Alone Friday night.  Both were in house, naturally.

[The Mikado]

I just saw Mr Bean, Holiday on Thursday night and Home Alone Friday night.  Both were in house, naturally.

How was Mr. Bean?  Rowan Atkinson is one of my heroes.

[Boris]

Quantum of Solace, finally

meh. It was way too Bourne-esque. definitely lacked the personality and sophistication of Casino Royale. Passable entertainment and certainly superior than the sh**t churned out at the end of Brosnan's run, but it won't have a special place in my heart like most other Bond films.

[AkSaber]

Bad Lieutenant

Quite a gritty and intense film. I am perplexed by the ending, though. I don't really know who whacked the Lieutenant.
