What's the last movie you've seen?

The Green Hornet

I went to the midnight showing because my dad really wanted to see it. It was alright, I guess. It actually did a somewhat decent job of paying tribute to the original radio and TV shows. It also had some funny bits and a few interesting ideas but it also contained a lot of pointless garbage. It was way too long and the 3D, as usual, sucked.

How was the dude from Inglourious Basterds? I'm sure he was nowhere near as impressive of course since it wasn't as good as a script or well-written character but I am interested in seeing him again.

He was alright. It was an extremely one-dimensional character though.

Frozen, which had some scenes I had to look away from. Not a bad movie, but ugh.

Have you ever seen Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom?

I can't say that I have.

I have to wonder if you'd have to look away watching that one then.

Just looking at the description on wikipedia tells me that I would not be watching it, period.

It's basically like a bad porno for 90% of it.

Battle of Algiers (1966)

I thought it was apropos.

Powerful film.

[Eraserhead]

Winter's Bone

A weird movie about hillbillies (as in the kind you see in purple shirts with wolves on them at carnivals). Pretty interesting.

[Eraserhead]

Half Nelson

Pretty good.  A nice old school 90s style indie movie in a 21st century world where indie = Hollywood scripts written by different group of nerds.  

It's a shame Ryan Gosling's biggest box office film is The Notebook.  This guy has immense talent that not everybody knows about.

I agree with all of that. Have you seen The Believer?

No.  I'll be sure to add it to my Netflix queue.  Fracture, The Notebook (which was decent for the genre), and Blue Valentine are all I've seen, but I can definitely see a good actor in them.

I was worried with Fracture that he was going to flame out by teaming up with Anthony Hopkins like Ed Norton did (who most recently portrayed the brilliant Cop #1 in The Invention of Lying). But it turned it out pretty good.  He reminds me of Norton in a lot of ways. 

I haven't actually seen any of those three movies. The Believer is amazing though. Lars and the Real Girl is another really good one of his.

I'll definitely be watching Blue Valentine very soon, one way or the other. Did you know he also has an indie band that is actually pretty good?

Caught two tonight.

127 Hours & The Fighter

Both were pretty good as expected.

[Eraserhead]

Tangled

I had to kill some time at my theater... actually very well done for what it was though.

[Eraserhead]

Speaking of 80s movies, my last film was....

Drugstore Cowboy

Some of the acting wasn't that great but it was pretty entertaining for the most part.

[Eraserhead]

Zoo

Bad... and a waste of time.

[Eraserhead]

127 Hours

It was very good.  If anything, the production should be applauded for somehow managing to make a feature film out of itself. 

Thank Scooby-Doo.

[Eraserhead]

The Runaways.

It was pretty solid, even if the story was predictable and obvious where it is was going (even if it's a true story, it's still a cliche.) I wished Dakota Fanning didn't look hot in it, that's just wrong and made me feel dirty. Part of me also wonders what Joan Jett and Cherie Curie would think of having two girls from Twilight portray them...they did a very solid cover of Cherry Bomb though. (Granted it's on record that Kirsten Stewart at least personally hates Twilight.)

Both of them were fine with it. Cherie Curie even called Dakota Fanning her "favorite actress".

[Eraserhead]

The Kids Are Allright.

Probably my least favourite of the Best Picture nominees I've seen so far. Still pretty good.

We watched the first half hour or so of that movie, then shut it off because it wasn't very interesting.

That's the only one of the ten that I haven't bothered to watch.

[Eraserhead]

The King's Speech.

Did not approve of some of the language, but overall a very good movie, intriguing story line, brilliantly acted.

Historically factual.

Actually, there were some major aspects of it that weren't correct in that regard.

[Eraserhead]

The Town

Very over the top but pretty damn entertaining. It probably should have been nominated.

[Eraserhead]

Renner was kind of boring, he was just a generic tough guy type character. I thought Jon Hamm gave an impressive performance but didn't stand out because his character was a bit shallow and one-dimensional.

To me Hamm was the boring tough guy. I enjoyed Renner a lot. I certainly enjoyed him a lot more than I did in the very overrated film that won Best Picture last time.

[Eraserhead]

Why?

Because he's gay? I never paid too much attention to the guy but that was obvious long ago.

[Eraserhead]

Drive Angry

Near perfect B-movie. Seriously.

[Eraserhead]

The Darjeeling Limited is my favorite, I think.

[Eraserhead]

Amanda Peet was actually in a really good movie? That's not something you see too often.

[Eraserhead]

Sucker Punch is getting mostly garbage reviews. I'm still probably gonna go watch it tonight. How bad could a movie about hot chicks fighting robots and ninjas really be? Who needs a plot when you already have that stuff!?!

[Eraserhead]

Eh, I'm getting pretty tired so I think I'm actually just gonna watch it over the weekend or something. Why is it two hours long? It looks exactly like the kind of movie that should be 90 mins. on the nose.

[Eraserhead]

Thor looks mostly alright to me so far... but I like the comics.

[Eraserhead]

You went to the midnight? How was the turnout?

[Eraserhead]

Rango

Pretty good. Fantastic animation. I was drinking while watching it. It became a little too formulaic at the end.
