Both fantastic films in their respective genres. Very good movie ! Under-rated and most people havent seen it Last night I watched Assault On Precinct 13 original John Carpenter version. Such a good movie
Children of Men is another sci-fi/post-apocalyptic movie which I enjoyed a few ago. The Road was pretty good too. I also saw "Surrogates" at the cinema last week and I didn't like it. In fact, I'm already forgetting what it was about I'll go see Avatar at the cinema one of these days.
Seven Pounds - I thought it was excellent, on review sites it seems to be a love it or hate it. Before the Devil Knows Your Dead - Thought it was good, although the characters seemed a little too much out of their element in their actions, I have a feeling it was originally going to be longer, but had to be cut down. Broken Flowers - Heard good things and the story was pretty good, but some things were left as mysteries that didn't add anything, also not a huge Bill Murray fan, all his roles have gotten too depressing lately. All on Netflix streaming, also as a heads up Top Gear Season 10 is now streaming, edited down unfortunately, but at least it's something.
I watched Clockwork Orange last night. Just plain strange. Ben-Hur is on for tonight. A few nights ago I watched The Shining for the first time. Holy crap that movie is creepy. When Tony is saying redrum over and over I almost had to leave the room. I'm a chicken, I know.
Last night on cable I watched "The Strange One" (1957) with Ben Gazzara as a military school cadet who bullies his classmates. I had never heard of that one. You have to like a movie where the bad guy and his girlfriend show up at a bar driving a Messerschmitt bubble car.
I saw via Netflix "100 Feet" never even heard of this but it was recommended. Great scary movie and I find very few creepy these days - put this in your queue. Anyone else seen this?
Two great movies, Children of Men is one of those movies where I always forget the name and later I remember it.
Just watched Waterloo (1970). Very good movie, last time I saw it was early 70's. Incredible battle scenes, especially considering there was no cgi back then. 15-20k Russian soldiers were used.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Great movie, different character for Jim Carrey but it was a fitting role. Very interesting story line as well.
That was a very weird movie... Interesting, but weird. Speaking of Jim Carrey, the last movie I watched was A Christmas Carol.
"Up In The Air". What a piece of crap. Perhaps a good "film" since it evoked emotion, but depression isn't an emotion I wish to have stirred after paying $9...
I saw Devil's Rejects a few months ago and thought it was pretty good for being so obviously low-budget. Reminded me (not surprisingly) of Natural Born Killers.
I loved it, lots of cool philosphical questions raised. Charlie kauffman at his best. Kirsten Dunst turns my crank, too (which probably answers a few questions)
well it was filmed in St Louis...depression is our default mood I haven't seen it yet but friends who have gave it a resounding "meh", thought that was interesting since the reviewers/awards types seemed to think it was a masterpiece.
Lesbian Vampire Killers 3/10 Ive been looking forward to this for months since i saw the trailer. It looked like great fun. Its not. Its boring. Its not funny. Its just bad. Carriers (with Chris Pine) 8/10 I like disease-run-amok films and thought Id give it a shot even though it somehow flew under my radar and I was unfamiliar with it. It was a really solid film with a bunch of people who had all the faults real humans do. No superheros or action stars in this film. You can see the ending coming a mile away but thats okay...I dont believe *surprises* are what make a movie good.
Swades Indian movie on Netflix Instant Play, I would recommend anyone to watch it, it has subtitles Only downfall is that it's 3 hours long.
