What Movie Did You Just See?

Babí Léto (Autumn Spring) - a truly wonderful little Czech film about loyalty, love, life & death. Hands down the best film I've seen in a long time:

Finally saw The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada.  Kinda slow but a very good moral story line.

Excellent movie!

2 brit-flicks by Nick Love: Goodbye Charlie Bright & The Football Factory.

I watched Robert Altman's Short Cuts yesterday. Can't believe it was the first time seeing it.  Really good, really Really depressing movie. Couldn't help but think of Magnolia at the end. P.T. Anderson was on the set of A Prarie Home Companion in case anything happened to Robert Altman while they were filming.  What an honor.

The U.S. vs. John Lennon. It was very good but not exactly essential to my dvd collection. I would reccomend renting it.

The Business - my third Nick Love movie in a row. Again, hardly a good movie yet enjoyable all the same. Excellent 80s soundtrack!

Just got The Departed, The Prestige, Babel & The Devil & Daniel Johnston in the post...

I want to see it but haven't found myself in the right mood.
I guess you're never 'in the mood' for a such a movie?
I know it's supposed to be very very good but I also know that I'm going to come away feeling very down.

potentially the crappest movie i have ever seen

PLEASE don't waste money going to see this.... it was truly truly shit. the only redeeming feature was that it was filmed in melbourne, so you get to see a bit of the city and surrounds. and some local actors as well...

but, seriously, how did this movie ever get funded??

Yet another nail in Nicholas Cage's coffin  :-/

(good to see you Ali!)

[ali]

hi andrew!!
words really don't describe how crap that movie was... has he ever done a "good" movie? i remember watching moonstruck a long time ago & thinking that was ok (but that was, what, 20 years ago??)

[dragonboy]

Raising Arizona, Wild At Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation & Matchstick Men are all good movies IMO but he's made a hell of a lot more bad movies, that's for sure.

[Chills]

Leaving Las Vegas is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Cage is outstanding in that one.


Oh, and have you forgotten his inspiring turn as troubled father/action hero with the silly accent in the genuinely heartfealt independent flick CON AIR?

It's filled with classic dialogue:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Holding a gun up to the head of a stuffed pink bunny]
Cyrus Grissom: Make a move and the bunny gets it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron Poe: Put... the bunny... back... in the... box.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron Poe: Why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?


Or this one...

Vince Larkin: Sure. What are you gonna do for me?
Cameron Poe: What do you think I'm gonna do? I'm gonna save the fuckin' day!

;D

I love love love Adaptation (that's my Charlie Kaufman obsession showing up again).  Leaving Las Vegas kills me, so great.  Raising Arizona is so wonderful.  I love the Cohen brothers so much.

Finally finished watching Lonesome Dove, excellent stuff. Robert Duvall & Tommy Lee Jones are truly great actors.
I know it was a TV mini-series but I watched it as a movie so I'll post it here.
