What's the last movie you've seen?

[Lief 🗽]

I saw Body of War at SXSW on Thursday. It was so, so good. Very emotional, at times disturbing and depressing, but with an uplifting ending. I can't recommend it enough.

[Reaganfan]

Watched the classic romantic/dramatic/suspense "Witness" (1985) starring Harrison Ford as a Philadelphia police officer that goes into hiding with an Amish widow (Kelly McGillis) after her son witnesses a murder. Classic stuff!

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Entertaining - but you felt every single one of those 160mins.

[Beet]

I watched The Godfather again and the first time I've watched the entire thing and understood it all. The strongest parts there are probably the memorable scenes and one-liners, of course. The Moe Greene character was hilarious! Just like the kind of guy opebo would like to be in real life.

Domino.

What a mess. Keira Knightley wasn't even that attractive in it.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

2001 Maniacs

As far as horror movies go, not that bad.  Robert Englund is great, as he always is in horror films.

The Professional.

Not as good as the IMDB ranking, but still a rather touching yet also action-packed movie. Gary Oldman also gave one of the best portrayals of a villain I've ever seen, comparable to Javier Barden in No Country For Old Men.

Just saw that recently as well. Certainly a great performance from Natalie Portman as well, although her character was somewhat disturbing at times.

My friends and I also found the exchange "You really like that plant"/"It's my best friend" to score tremendously well on the Unintentional Comedy scale.

Southland Tales.

First of all, the idea that California was the major swing state of the election was really annoying, even though that's the type of thing you have to let movies slide on. But otherwise...well Kelly please just try to keep things simple. Donnie Darko was fairly simple. This movie was too long and it still tried too many things in that length. In a way it was Kelly's attempt at a new Pulp Fiction (after all it's his sophomore effort like Pulp Fiction was to Tarantino), but things don't always work that way.

[Reaganfan]

I watched "The Day Reagan was Shot" (2001) starring Richard Dreyfuss, yesterday. What's so crazy about it...is I vividly remember sitting in my sixth grade classroom talking about how it was exactly 20 years since the assassination attempt....now it is going on 27 years....crazy stuff.

Paranoid Park.

Gus Van Sant, it does not make you more of an artist to shoot long tracking shots of people doing things like walking. Please get that through your head.

Other than that, I thought it was an interesting look at things similar to the brilliant Mean Creek, if only the style had been more like Mean Creek than Van Sant's wanking.

Juno.

Eh. Good movie to see with a woman.

Except that it's Intentional.

Well my dad saw it with my mom and he hated it (I'm not surprised.) She liked it though.

Hated it? What for?
I thought it was funny, improvable in parts, nothing to recall in fifty years' time of course.

He told her afterwards "not really a guy movie". Like I said, I'm not surprised, he never likes movies like that.

Well, I wouldn't say it qualifies as a "joke," so much as the exchange just happened to be humorous.

For reasons I still fail to comprehend, we watched Swimfan at like midnight last night. It's basically a movie for 12 year old girls. The filmmakers also wasted a brilliant opportunity to make the ending more like Fight Club's by having Jesse Bradford and Shiri Appelby kissing or holding hands in the foreground while Erica Christensen drowns in the background with Where Is My Mind? playing. Oh well.

Ooh, and I also re-watched Swordfish yesterday afternoon. Truly a film that is allegorical to all our lives.

Fool's Gold

good movie, based on finding treasure from the 1715 Spanish Shipwreck, some of the locations are changed slightly, and a backstory is created for the ship's Captain. I'm not usually a stickler for details,  but when you're supposed to be in the Florida Keys and Bahamas, DON'T film in a location with mountains in th background, flying a Bermuda flag from your boat.
They filmed most of the movie in Australia. I'm still confused about the Bermuda flag.

Love that movie

and last movie I saw was The Patriot

[Beet]

All About Eve. Wonderful performances by George Sanders and Bette Davis.
"I can see your career rising like the sun in the East," Sanders at one point says to the character played by Marilyn Monroe.
"Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a rough night!"
"Wonderful story. Everything but the bloodhounds nipping at 'er rear end."
And so many other quotables.
Both this and Stanley Kubrick's later Paths of Glory are stunning studies in the complexities of power, which are rarely seen any more. Old Hollywood still had its stuff at mid-century, even in the midst of its precipitious decline.

House of Wax

sorry about that

House of Wax

I laugh at the fact that some people actually went to that movie because they hate Paris Hilton. That's like watching Titanic because you hate Leonardo DiCaprio.
