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

Wesley Snipes 7

[b]Inglorious Basterds 9/10[/b] Absolutely amazing movie, such superb acting and pacing. I really like this movie so much, one of my favorite movies that has ever been created. The use of languages is genius and makes it more atmospheric, especially if you understand them. The humor is dark and really fits the tone of movie. The cast is also amazing, really good actors, especially the german ones.

[B]The Place Beyond the Pines 7/10[/B] The film could have easily been wrapped up at the end of the second part and delivered the same message. But it continued on turning into almost a [sp]cheesy teen drama subplot with events that seemed silly like the two boys happening to meet up and become friends and then hating each other after discovering the past. [/sp] It's like this was added to shove the themes of family values in your face. And trying to show that the parents actions affect the future of their children, but that was already a theme before this part. If it was shortened to not include these parts with an alternate ending it would have been a fantastic film.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40848331]My brother, one of my friends and my girlfriend are the only people I know who actually like this movie. Everyone else I know says it's boring. :([/QUOTE] Probably because they were expecting more action, due to the way it was advertised. I remember when it first came out I was expecting it to be more action-y and was a little disappointed about the fact that it was mostly just talking. In my defense, I was not familiar with Quentin Tarantino's style at the time. Nowadays I appreciate the movie more.

yeah they marketed basterds the wrong way

Likewise,[B] Inglorious Basterds 9/10[/B] This was my first time seeing the movie and I really have to applaud it on a job well done. Christoph Waltz truly is an amazing actor and he continues that amazingness in Django Unchained as well. Pitt, Kruger, Laurent and Fassbender did good as well. I also absolutely love Quentin Tarantino and his films. They're different from most mainstream films and I love the quirkiness that goes along with them. Most people look at history and see it as it happened, Tarantino looked at history and said, "So what?". Also, since I watch all my cinema/tv with subtitles, I'm used to them. I really disagree with most critics who complain that "they want to hear the movie not read it". I liked how Tarantino incorporated other languages into his film; it makes it more unique and memorable. [SUB][SUP]I also like how Tarantino worked his foot fetish into that scene with Landa and Hammersmark[/SUP][/SUB]

[b] Cyrus - 7/10 [/b] Seeing certain actors in mumblecore is strange.

Hangover Part 3 - 6/10 basically everything i had expected. hangover 1 was good compared to this and the second

none of those movies are good

At the time I hadn't seen any other Quentin Tarantino movies yet. Someone recommended Pulp Fiction and actually told me what kind of movie it was and I loved it. Now I still have to rewatch Inglorious Bastards with the proper expectations.

Luckily we learn french german and english at school.

anyone who is disinterested in other languages/forms of communication need to be tweaked.

I watched with my cousin Pulp Fiction once, he was so psyched about it. Then afterwards he was utterly dissapointed and said to me "it's a talk movie, where is the action?"

(A bit of a gimmick review, this. There's not much you can say about the actual movie itself - but there's still some meaning to be extracted from it.) Barbershop 2: Back in Business: 5/10 (in the Rusty Normalized Rating.) What "liberal" Hollywood produces when it tries to make a modern blaxploitation - a rather bizarre cabinet of curiosities that's evenly split between agendas: the movie begins with a good bit of "good old" epithet-slinging, an us-versus-them, and "good old" male-dominated heterosexual relationships; but over time slowly leavens in what it thinks are feints towards the contemporary - microscopic arcs that I get the impression the studio wants to see resolved in a certain way and so has to be resolved "happily": we've got issues like gentrification and predatory capitalism, for example, or an awareness what "moving up in life" means. But it goes one step further and turns the usual stock individuals into inlets into more meaningful, abstract problems: we have someone trying to move up and out turn to politics, get the obligatory cynicism thrown at him, but turn that into something meaningful by working out a left-of-centre conclusion of what government has to offer; an old man reflects on rioting after the assassination of MLK and ends up rejecting traditional, prepackaged notions of what it means to be black (in contrast to overtly Christian characters and a Nation of Islam "awakenee".) And so the movie should in fact seem to tilt towards the meaningful by the amount of screen time alone - but it just aborts that; no single statement of artistic intent exists beyond filling up the hour-and-the-bit required. So it ruthlessly takes all the inertia and suppresses it like it should be in its own self-interest to do so. It [i]could[/i] very well end on an unresolved note at this point and make itself known as a question-asking movie, but it's obliged to give us a happy conclusion - it hurriedly wraps up and ends with funk played over the credits - you can't help but be apathetic at the end. You'll get far more stimulation from the movie if you'd want to believe that the movie makes an interesting statement about the distinction between "black-oriented" and exploitation. In fact, I'd suspect you'd learn something genuinely useful as well: turning expected farce into absurd little intellectual games seems like a genuinely useful skill to have to me.

prince of egypt 3+/5 dat animation dat art [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUTsJ-8s1k[/media] and the soundtracks is awesome

I just watched Schindler's List for the first time. First impression- 9.9/10 Didn't cry at all throughout the whole movie. Then the, "One more person" scene happened and it all just fell out.

[b] Greenberg - 8/10 [/b]

Now You See Me Enjoyable, but forgettable. Not a movie I'll watch again, but a good way to kill 2 hours.

went to the movies and ended up seeing 3 in a row [b]Hannah Arendt - 7.4/10[/b] good drama about a jewish woman who has to write an article about some nazi man who was responsible for the transportation of the jews in WW2. it's filled with old aged actors and even the auditorium i was in was filled with old people kinda weird [b]Fast & Furious 6 - 6.9/10[/b] was actually a pretty decent action movie, also the first F&F movie i've watched liked the ending [b]Star Trek Into Darkness 7.1/10[/b] i dont know if it was because of how tired i was or because i was at the most front row but the movie felt short and a bit aimless also didnt really have any grandé fightings and dangers in it making it feel lot smaller than the first star trek in comparison

Se7en; 9/10. The main thing about this film that I like the most is the sense of loneliness or worthlessness that it portrays, similar to Taxi Driver in that aspect. I feel this is because of the setting, the rundown space of New York and I have to say, I really like this particular setting. I don't know why I like it so much, I just do. Besides from that, the murders in this movie are brutal, beyond it. And the [sp]chase scene in which Mills and Somerset find the killer's apartment[/sp] is nothing short of spectacular. As well as [sp]of course the ending. The intensity of the ending was fantastic and quite literally had me on the edge of my seat. I love the scene where both Mills and Somerset again, were transporting the killer or John Doe to his "surprise". It's as if both Somerset and Doe knew what was coming up.[/sp] I really like this movie, more so this being my second viewing, going back and noticing little things I hadn't seen before.

django unchained i liked it, though i didnt think it was as much of a masterpiece as people are saying. a little "too tarantino" for me sometimes skyfall pretty slow at times, didnt expect that. made the movie oddly unique to me. i definitely liked it. the breakfast club definitely going into my top 10 list, i just never wanted it to end. i already want to watch it again.

[b] Baghead - 6/10 [/b] [b] Creative Nonfiction - 6/10 [/b]

The Green Mile - 9/10 Sad movie.

Red Dwarf USA - 2/10 Unfunny, stupid and it shows how America just loved to ruin good Britain shows during the height of popularity. I recommend not watching this bootleg, it sucks ass

The Great Silence- 8/10 Wow, what an ending. Would love to see it faithfully remade. Camerawork could have been better The Lives of Others- 10/10 Really, really good, pity Ulrich Muhe passed on after it, was hoping to see him in more

The Cider House Rules - 8/10 Solid drama, decent ending. Excellent supporting acting.

[b] Somebody Up There Likes Me - 9/10 [/b]

All I remember was Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer being silly or something.
