What's the last movie you've seen?

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

La Cage aux Rossignols

French movie made in 1945, which inspired a cover that made a huge success in 2004 in France, Les Choristes. Simple and refreshing, pretty good.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

Ninja cheerleaders. it is gayer than it sounds. (watched twice)

[Reaganfan]

Dirty Work, 1998 comedy with Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Chris Farley, Chevy Chase and the late great Jack Warden. Classic late 90s SNL comedy.

8MM, 1999 dark suspense film with Nicolas Cage and Joaquin Phoneix with Cage as a Pennsylvania P.I. who is brought in to help determine the authenticity and background of a "snuff film" found in the safe of a deceased rich businessman. EXCELLENT. Highly recommend.

Outbreak, 1995 suspense film with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey and Donald Sutherland about a deadly virus outbreak. Decent.

Rambo, 2008 sequel to the 1982 hit "First Blood". Stallone is back, just as great as ever as John Rambo.

Hostage, 2005 thriller with Bruce Willis as a small-town cop who is brought back into his hostage negotiating days when three young punks take a family hostage. Very good.

Duplex, 2003 comedy with Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore as a married couple who buy a duplex in Brooklyn not knowing they'd be hassled to craziness by an old lady living upstairs. Pretty good and Drew Barrymore is delicious!

Road Trip, hilarious 2001 comedy with Breckin Meyer, Sean William Scott and Tom Green. Classic hilarity!

Bandits, 2001 comedy with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton as two escaped bank robbers.  Bruce plays the level headed one, Billy Bob plays the anxiety filled hypochondriac. Excellent!

Drowning Mona, 2000 comedy with Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Casey Affleck, Neve Campbell and Jamie Lee Curtis about the death of a woman who was so hated, the whole small New York town is suspect! Great flick!

Amos & Andrew, 1993 comedy with Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson. Decent.

Where the Wild Things Are

I finally got a chance to go see it. I thought it was great. I loved how surreal the dialogue was at times.

[Scam of God]

Gus Van Sant's Elephant. Highly recommended.

[War on Want]

Paranormal Activity

The Bob and Terry bit comes to mind.

Yeah, congrats to Spike for getting away with that kind of stuff in a $100 million dollar production.

Gus Van Sant's Elephant. Highly recommended.

I'm not a fan of Van Sant but I would agree.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That was the most boring movie ever. No real dialogue, just pointless small talk. Roughly half the movie is just watching people walk around. Instead of watching it just go to the mall and follow random people around for an hour and a half. It's roughly the same experience.

[The Mikado]

Where the Wild Things Are.

I'll have more to say tomorrow.

Quite good.

[Psychic Octopus]

Minority Report.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Sex Drive - Mediocre, but sometimes amusing.

[Eraserhead]

Requiem for a Dream

Good movie. Fantastic editing/sequencing/etc. Also, Jennifer Connelly was just painfully hot around 2000.

[Mr. Morden]

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

The latest movie by Terry Gilliam.  Stars Christopher Plummer and Heath Ledger (the latter died during filming, and this is his final movie).  Enjoyable, but not as good as the movies Gilliam made in his prime.

You think life is just plain black, this movie is for you. Just liked the main music of the OST.

Last one I watched, was on TV, was Man on fire.

Wow, didn't expect we could make such an apologia of vengeance and cruelty.

Paranormal Activity

Literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Paranormal Activity

It was only scary if you lacked logic and critical thinking skills. A friend and I went to see it in Georgetown this weekend, and literally half the theater was jumping in fear at what was going on. I thought GU students were a little smarter than that. Nothing that happened in the film could not be done with computer enhancements. It was only "good" if you went in thinking it was real. Even then, the only time I jumped was at the ending when the body of Micah was hurled at the camera.

Required. Viewing.

One of the best movies I've ever seen (with one of the sweetest love scenes I've ever seen to boot) and I don't give statements like this lightly. Watch.

Haven't seen that one but seems that Israel makes good films recently.

Last one I saw:

Million dollar baby

Wow.

Was on TV, at the beginning I hesitate to watch, ecstatic review preceding made me doubt, but, it was Eastwood, so, I watched. Well, during the first 2/3 of the film, i'm like well, it's some basic Clint Eastwood style, nothing exceptional, something a bit more realist than some classical American movie, a bit more fresh, a bit closer to human beings, but nothing exceptional, remained pretty classical, I was thinking that once again the review had still been too much high. And, comes the last boxing match. At first, I think oh no Eastwood fell in 'Rocky paradigm', 'the boxer of the good against the boxer of the evil', the match seems to go this way, and, suddenly...

I can't tell what happens, would break the movie. It is the beginning of the most interesting part of the movie, all the rest before was just here to serve this last part. Comes a part that takes you to the stomach, a part where a tragedy like the human being can know is actually displayed, without compromise, and in which it seems Eastwood really gives us something very strong from his being.

At the end, you think, he dared, you would understand why it is italic if you watch the movie. There are other actual good tragedies in the cinema, and maybe the review has too much focusing on this one, but it deserves some attention nevertheless, and for something coming from Hollywood (the Warner produced) that remains exceptional.

Well, euh, a small dropping comment, the French version gave the voice of...Dumbledore to Eastwood. He had a pretty cool voice in French before, maybe they feel forced to suit with the fact he got older, well, Dumbledore in more speed speaking, say Dumbledore who drank a lot of coffee. Anyways, in the last part, you just don't care about that...

And also, I liked the acting of the girl, Hillary Swank, though I guess it would have been better in OV.

Most of the people that go to that theater don't actually go to Georgetown. Also GU has a healthy population of dumb bros who basically got in here because of legacy/they went to a Jesuit prep school.

But yeah, terrible and boring film.

Adventureland!  Quite enjoyed it, but it filled me with the most terrible ennui.  I'm in my forties, and I was a youth in the period depicted (late 1980s).  How sad.. I think its a sign of a good youth-movie when it makes olds feel sad rather than just bored.

I found it kind of nostalgia-inducing in an odd way even though I could barely remember the time the movie is set in. Probably because I was such a big fan of the music in it. Two classic Minnesota bands on the soundtrack, the Replacements and Husker Du!

Serrogates with Bruce Willis, far fetched but cool IMO.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

"The Departed"

Jack Nicholson still rocks!
