Rate The Last Movie You Watched - April V3 - no tv shows - General

You know that if you just made a different, none-jewdozer account name, and a different avatar, and didn't allude to you being jewdozer (and stopped with whatever homophobic stuff Rusty banned you for), he'd probably let you back?

Well the homophob-gate accusation is rather overplayed. I simply said in a post I didn't agree with a pro homosexuality film being played in a school because I don't feel schools are a place for that kind of material. Thats somewhat different to 'I hate homosexuals' which I have never said. Your a cool guy Polly, don't get pulled into the sludge. I'm here to stay, I like it here.

[QUOTE=Kero_;42282595]the campaign - really funny. i expected it to be shit but it turned out to be pretty good[/QUOTE] dylan mcdermott made that movie which reminds me that hostages miniseries looks interesting

[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Panic_Room_poster.jpg[/IMG] Panic Room- 8/10 Really good movie, its like a game of chess as in you always know whats going on and it keeps no secrets from you apart from how much money is located in the house.

The Iron Giant - 9/10 I'm surprised this film wasn't a box office success. This movie is so emotional, humorous and beautiful, I love Brad Bird's direction (as with all his films). But one word to end this quickie review [B][I]'Superman'[/I][/B]

9/10 is this a joke?

I think you missed a 10 for that first number there

Are you seriously complaining I didn't give it a 10 even though 9 was still a 'great' rating Listen, the film is really excellent but I don't think it's like the greatest film in the world. But it's in that greatest animated features list I'll say To me it's a 9.5

The Superman Hogarth showed to the Iron Giant was the Golden Age Superman and he regularly killed people. If I had to nerd out, it would have been far more apropriate to show a Silver Age Superman.

It was a shame the Iron Giant didn't get more attention. Watched it for the first time in a long time since I last saw it and loved it.

[B]Body of Lies[/B] Pretty decent, fairly exciting flick. Pretty good performance from DiCaprio. Just what I needed to get revved up for Homeland Season 3.

Incidentally, I was bored and looked up the specific comic from the movie. It's [I]Action Comics #188[/I] from January 1954.

The Silver Age 'started' in 1955/56 though. EDIT: Would have been more (unnecessarily) accurate if it was a comic after the comics code authority in September 1954 if Hogarth was going to establish the 'no kill' policy.

The Bling Ring A friend wanted to watch it so we did (they heard it was good) Fucking boring piece of shit it kept dragging on and like shit terrible movie 1/10.

Fargo (rewatch)- 5/5 Raising Arizona began by coen brothers kick once again. Working through a lot of their films. Watched The Big Lebowski last week as well. Fargo is one of my favourite Coen films definitely. Brilliant acting (and an underrated performance by William H Macey- I thought he gave the best performance in the film). Buscemi was snubbed a nomination imo, he was fantastic. Although Macey got that spot instead, I guess. Anyway yea this film owns all kinda bones. Great quirky dialogue, a plot that keeps going, darkly funny. Steve Buscemi's best performance in his career. Yea this film is great. O Brother Where Art Thou (rewatch)- 5/5 Brilliant charismatic performance from George Clooney, a weird and genius screenplay based in the early 1900's based off Homer's Odyssey. Great fun and a great adventure. I think Barton Fink is up next on my Coen Brothers films to watch. Not seen it yet. Caché - 3/5 my fourth (well fifth, I saw Funny Games twice) venture into Haneke's films, and this is probably my least favourite although still a strong film. A great concept well executed for the most part both in script and direction, although I wasn't very satisfied with the ending. There may well have been, but to me there isn't a whole lot of digging I can do in the film to really work much out in it. I dunno. I loved tapes and stuff. Apparently there's a shot where you can actually see a shadow of one of the cameras (not an actual crew camera, one of the ones for the tapes) but despite my best efforts I couldn't find it. I thought I saw one in the flat but I dunno if I did. It was blurry. One thing I loved about it is how paranoid it makes the viewer. You can't tell right away that any shot isn't a hidden camera (except from when it's cutting) for instance shots outside and the two final shots. I dunno if they're cameras or just us seeing. Hell, I was looking for and actually convinced myself that I saw a camera in the kitchen! But it never came up and nothing really happened so probably not. My favourite one was definitely [sp]the one through the windshield, the guy picking up the camera and turning it.. Then the dad says it's the house he grew up in.[/sp] honest chills. Brilliant. I'll revisit this I think, as although I said above I couldn't fnid anything more in it than what I saw I do think there's more to find that I missed and I look forward to delving deeper. [editline]24th September 2013[/editline] oh yeah and I watched Annie Hall but was pretty disappointed overall, the film is definitely brilliant and I loved its style and thought it was a great screenplay but I just didn't really connect. I also thought Diane Keaton's performance was distinctly average despite her winning an oscar for it. 3/5.

Manhunter (1986) - 8/10 Pretty darn good, brian cox makes a less imposing hannibal lecter than anthony hopkins but it's a more believable performance. The rest of the film is pretty interesting too, though it's 80s as fuck edit: love how I say 'the rest of the film' even though lecter has like 10 minutes of screentime haha

Shame you didn't like Annie Hall but have you tried many of Woody Allens films? 'Sleeper' is a zany classic but 'Play it again sam' is more straight up grade A Woody Allen.

Triangle, 9/10, I didn't know what I was expecting when I watched it and it was one of the most surreal horror movies I've seen recently. I can't really think of any faults I noticed, maybe I'll rewatch it later.

The Chronicles of Riddick (director's cut) - 7/10 It takes a bit to get into but once Imam is kill then the movie focuses on Riddick as it should have. Also Karl Urban was awesome as usual, why is he so awesome in every movie he's in? Even that piece of shit Doom.

Amour was great, saw it in the cinema and it was an amazing atmosphere. Imo Haneke's one of the best filmmakers working. My favourite is probably Funny Games though. I feel like I just got that film. I understood every shot and every decision made and it was such an experience. It punishes you and it's painful and disturbing a lot of the time but it's just so fucking clever. And the ending. I love it. It just puts everything else that happens in the film into a new light. So great. Funny Games is one of the best films I've ever seen, which is probably why Caché disappointed me- I almost said it's similar but it's not at all, it's just a couple of the ideas link together. I expected a truly great piece of cinema after seeing what it's about and knowing how well Haneke handles brutal and real material to real people. In retrospect I feel I can bump Cache up to a 4/5 though. It was so smart and the characters were great as well as it being beautifully photographed (of course- Haneke's visual style is brilliant) On Woody Allen, I've only seen Midnight and Paris which I loved and his latest before Blue Jasmine, To Rome With Love, which I enjoyed but didn't take much from at all. I'll need to check out more of his stuff because I'm really interested in him even though I felt his supposed magnum opus fell short. But he has so many films regarded as classics. Annie Hall may not have hit the spot for me but stylistically I enjoyed it and I feel like if I keep exploring I'm bound to find some gems. [editline]24th September 2013[/editline] I'll return to Annie Hall once I've seen more of his stuff.

Yet to see Amour.

This is Spinal Tap - 8.5/11 Grave of the Fireflies - 8/10 (never watching this again) My Neighbor Totoro- 8.5/10 Spirited Away - 9.5/10 Been on a Studio Ghibli binge.

[QUOTE=Pops;42297460]The Chronicles of Riddick (director's cut) - 7/10 [/QUOTE] There's a director's cut? And it's good?

The Man From Nowhere 9/10 It's kinda like Taken but better in every way.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;42299312]There's a director's cut? And it's good?[/QUOTE] Yes, it adds about 15 minutes of extra footage I've never seen the theatrical cut but I can only assume whatever silly cuts the studio forced Twohy to make to obtain a PG-13 rating were ridiculous. But also, while I'm at it Riddick - 8.5/10 A much deserved sequel, it's definitely a Pitch Black 2. Also nipples.

Huh. I've only seen the theatrical cut, and while I did like the film, it's not very good at all. Gotta check that out.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;42300519]seriously? that movie was so terrible. talk about a straight to dvd horror[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say terrible, average maybe. It had one of those scenes where the camera goes through a mirror which is always worth points in my books.
