What's the last movie you've seen?

[Eraserhead]

Bitch Slap

Terrible in most ways but still well worth watching for the incredible looking women in it.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Alice in Wonderland

Dear lord Tim Burton what have you done to your career? Yes this will make alot of money but this is awful - turning one of the most imaginative works of fantasy ever into third-rate Tolkein-wannabe 'fantasy' cliches. Why, oh why?

Exit through the Gift Shop

Aka "The Bansky Film". A (pseudo?) documentary about the world of street art (to put it very, very simply). Just furthers my convinction that Bansky is merely a rather good wind-up merchant, not that there is anything wrong with that. After all this film is really rather good and not quite what "the Bansky film" suggests.  Alot of the stuff that he includes about the art world strikes a so-true-it-hurts feel.

Olyimpia

[Eraserhead]

The Hurt Locker

Good movie. I could live with it winning Best Picture, especially if it is our only hope of beating Avatar.

I flipped on Sundance and saw Return of the War Room, a documentary getting together some of the faces from The War Room, the documentary about the 92 Clinton campaign. I still love The War Room, which I caught on tv a few years ago, because it's the last time we're ever going to get that up close and personal with a campaign staff and see what it's like to run a campaign. Anybody interested in politics, and especially politics in the 90s or the 92 election, absolutely has to watch it.

I saw one last night and one tonight.

2012: worst movie I've seen this year. I turned it off about an hour in because I couldn't allow any more of my life to get sucked away. I feel sorry for anyone who has seen it.

Precious: very disturbing, and painful to watch. Gabourey Sidibe was amazing; I want to punch whoever decided to give Sandra Bullock the Oscar, what a disgrace. Mo'nique did a good job as well, but her character was so thoroughly evil that it made it a little hard to appreciate. Mariah Carey was great as well, it took me a minute to realize who she was before my jaw hit the floor.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Quite enjoyable.

The Spy Next Door w/ jackie chan

[useful idiot]

Up In the Air. It was good, but it took me a while to get into it. Turned out to be very depressing...

[Joe Biden 2020]

My girlfriend and I are going to take another crack at Alice in Wonderland Saturday.

[Joe Republic]

Alice in Wonderland.  Tim Burton ruined another of my childhood favorites.  That makes three.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The King of Comedy

Excellent.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

The King of Comedy

Excellent.

Rupert Pupkin (or is it Pimkin or Pumpkin?) or Howard Beale? My favourite Characters (I'm not sure favourite is the right word but whatever...)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Green Zone.

It was too dated. The message that the Bush admin seriously f**ked up Iraq reconstruction and that the WMDs claim was bogus is obvious to any remotely rational person for at least four years. There was some good action sequences but the film was just too preachy and Anvilicious over such an outdated Aesop. I mean there's a scene where Bush is mocked for the famous MISSION ACCOMPLISHED speech. I would've loved that four years ago but who cares today?

[Barnes]

Alice in Wonderland

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The King of Comedy

Excellent.

Rupert Pupkin (or is it Pimkin or Pumpkin?) or Howard Beale? My favourite Characters (I'm not sure favourite is the right word but whatever...)

Easy way round this; you like them as characters in an abstract sense, but you don't like the characters as people (if they were real).

[Vepres]

The Ghost Writer

Excellent political suspense thriller. I don't want to spoil it, but needless to say it was well done.

[Free Palestine]

I just watched Fatherland a short while ago.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp.

Very good movie and outstanding acting by Depp.  It was the first movie I have seen in the theater since August 2008 when Journey to the Center of the Earth came out.

Saw two last night:

The Box - despite horrible reviews I decided to give it a gander as it takes place in Virginia and was made by the same guy who did Donnie Darko. About halfway through the movie I started wondering what all those critics were complaining about, because it was genuinely decent. Turns out the last half of the movie was retarded beyond belief. Acting was good, setting was good, the plot(the first half of it) was good, but it just turned into one gigantic waste of time.

Hard Candy - Ok, so this movie is about a 14 year old girl who meets what she thinks is a pedophile online. She comes over to his house, drugs him, tortures him(including leading him to believe he's being castrated in a painful scene that is almost impossible to watch), and I to my surprise found myself hoping he'd break free and kill the little bitch for most of the movie. The ending is kind of lame, but I'd give it a B- just for the fact that it was original.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

[President Mitt]

Alice in Wonderland, and it was terrible. Another childhood memory ruthlessly raped by Tim Burton.

Do you agree with what I said that there was at least three points before the ending where it could've ended but didn't? Seems that way from the review, I was actually pretty sure that bit where the husband has to choose from the three portals was the climax and it was almost over. Then it went on for what seemed like an hour later. I didn't think the last half was as bad as you seem to think though.

I thought it was going to end at the portals as well, then I thought it would end at the wedding, and then there was another point I can't remember where I just wanted to turn it off because it was dragging on needlessly.

The best part about The Box was the end credits, not just because they were so welcome after such an arduous experience, but also because it was scored by Win and Régine of Arcade Fire, and Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy.
