What Movie Did You Just See?

[ManNamedTruth]

The Social Network - One of my favorites of the year.

Gimme Shelter - Excellent documentary on the Stones and Altamont. I didn't realize they had such good footage of the stabbing that took place.

The Girl Who Played With Fire - Much better than I expected, not quite as good as Dragon Tattoo.

One of my favorite scenes; the boys listening to Brown Sugar shortly after they recorded it

Winter's Bone & Another Year - both excellent but neither easy to recommend.

Saw it last weekend, thought it was hilarious, namely thanks to Galifianakis who plays a similar oddball, attention seeking character to what he did in Hangover but gets twice as many lines. 8.2/10

Something just happened here at work about an hour ago that made me totally think about a scene from the movie  ;D

Enter The Void - I'm not even sure how to rate this movie.  The one thing I can say is this is the first movie in a long time that I've seen that I would recommend without hesitation to somebody who is tripping balls.

I think there is only one normal shot in the entire movie and it's towards the end.  It's about the Tibetan Book of The Dead but mixed with the psychedelic experience.  It's really abstract and is as graphic as it can get in a lot of ways.   the fuckin movie is over 2hours and 30minutes, kinda surprised I made it through the entire thing.  one shot towards the end is pretty ridiculous but whatever.  

Dare you to watch it.

"The Last Station" with Helen Mirren/Christopher Plummer/Paul Giamatti/James McEvoy.  
Really, really interesting and good.  Mirren is truly one of the most brilliant actors of our time.  
What a lovely treat!
I now need to read War and Peace.

127 Hours. Talk about a will to live. Festival was perfectly placed-very powerful.

Kick-Ass: I loved it for its subversiveness, humour, performances and imagination,  and it ain't no kiddie flick. It would make a nice double-bill with Scott Pilgrim, but it's far more adult than Scott. It's strange watching these films and recognizing many Toronto landmarks and neighbourhoods, although Scott Pilgrim is also set in Hogtown (T.O. nickname).

I really liked Kick Ass too. The bit when they're playing Elvis in the background is hilarious.

no love for HP here I see. Anyone that did read the books or watches the movies, this one was spot on the book and the best movie by a mile, imo.

[woodnymph]

Not to worry, dear-e.... here's a little pleasant clump of HP goodness  8-)  It was birthed in the Current Joys section that's how happy we were! I think Tyler is a big HP fan too  :-X :-X :-X

Current Joy: The new Harry Potter. I'm such a bookworm that it's a cheap thrill to watch these stories come to life on the big screen. Love. It.

Oh, and Lucius Malfoy is a fox. I don't care if he kills Muggles for sport.

:o

Hey Kyyyyy I'm a bit of a HP fan myself  :P  I used to nosedive into whatever the newest Harry Potter book was at whatever time (think I was like 12 or something, crazy to think of how long it's been).... I wouldn't really leave my bedroom much until the book was spent... very excited for the latest footage  8-)

I saw it yesterday. It was so good. They did leave a couple of bits out but it's the closest one to the books. I think they definitely got the feeling right this time. I can't wait till part two!!!!!!! :D

Yes...it really was a fantastic film. It's so strange to compare it to the first two, which seem so silly now.

Devil - 6.5/10 - fuckin' M. Night, whether it be a movie he directs or produces there is always a twist.  always.  it's like the multi-twist. with that guy.  fairly predictable.  short, which was a plus for this one.

Casino Jack - 7/10 - Kevin Spacey is the man.  Lobbyist blow dick.  This movie pissed me off more than anything.  Spacey as Abramoff was entertaining.  what mother fuckers tho.  John Lovitz is such a creepy old man no matter what he does.

Dinner For Schmucks - 6.5/10 - a typical paul rudd movie.  the very end was pretty dumb and drawn out.  BUT zach and steve's interactions was fucking HILARIOUS. galifinakis was the main sparkle in this, perhaps the only sparkle.

The Last Exorcism 3/10 - f'ing stupid as fuck.  the ending was worthless and lazy.  the characters were dumb as fuck.  it's kinda short and easy to get thru because it's kinda weird but at the same time.  god damn hollywood, wtf?

Saw 300 last night for the first time.  Liked it a lot.

Yeah, it was more badass than I expected. Cant really think of a better action movie since it, off the top of my head.

The Killer Inside Me...I havent watched many movies the last few months, especially quality ones, so maybe my movie boner was just really desperate, but despite its flaws I really liked this movie. Id call it a small town-noir if that makes any sense. Casey Affleck was great in it, and at this point with his work over the last 5 years (Lonesome Jim, Jesse James, Gone Baby Gone, and now Killer Inside Me) I've come to the point where I'll go into watching 1 of his movies expecting a very good performance and not being surprised by it after the fact. Despite a lack of character development outside of Affleck, questionable motives considering who he kills, and choppy editing/a lack of backstory, I was pretty engrossed in the movie and its main character. I always enjoy an Elias Koteas sighting, but I have no idea who he was or why he was interested in Affleck, outside of thinking Affleck was a murderer for some unexplained reason. The violence isnt graphic, but its effectively disturbing. Its based in a small town in 1940's Oklahoma, and feels true to that time period and setting. Although one could argue the ending as being a little implausible, I thought it was a great way to end it. Id say definitely watch this if only for Affleck's performance (plus to see Jessica Alba lying on a bed getting her bare ### whipped by a belt). Whenever a film gets you to hope the serial killer isnt caught, which I think The Killer Inside Me and Affleck achieve here, somethings working....7.7/10

Quick run thru of other movies I can remember watching but did post a review:

Leaves of Grass...Not remarkably good, but a highly entertaining and at times humorous movie where Edward Norton shines in his most interesting performance since The Score, if not Fight Club...7.2/10

Iron Man 2...Didnt like it as much as the first, but still a cut above most of the comic adaptations excluding Nolan's Batmans. Rourke steals every scene he's in, and he shouldve had more of them. Surprised by a lot of FBG's complaining about Rockwell and his character, thought he was solid. Felt a little light on the action and shouldve had a few of those senes replace so filler in the middle. Closing action sequence felt pretty meh as it seemed like Iron Man ans War Machine take down Rourke in about 23 seconds...6.7/10

The Human Centipede...Not as disgusting as I had expected/yearned for, but better than most horror/thriller movies these days thanks to a great performance by the centipede-creating surgeon. I probably laughed more than I was scared...6/10

Killshot...B-movie thats saved by a cast of Mickey Rourke, Thomas Jane, Diane Lane, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. JGL was particularly good in a role he's never done before as a redneck petty thief whose goals of illegality outshine his intelligence. Even if you dont find Rourke believable as a Native American like I didnt, its still classic, no BS Rourke goodness with a little cheese on top...5.7/10

Robin Hood...I give it credit for going after the story of Robin Hood prior to the story thats always told, and the storyline will maintain your interest, but an average script that lacks emotion gives you mediocre performances from Crowe and Blanchett, as well as William Hurt, in a movie that starts to unravel towards the end. Max Von Sydow and Mark Strong save this in the acting department. Easily Ridley Scott's worst war/action/crime movie of recent memory, but thats also a credit to his other movies. If you havent seen Kingdom of Heaven, skip this and watch that as its the better of these 2 Crusade-era historical epics...5.8/10

Grown Ups...Better than your average PG-13 family comedy. Laughed more than I expected and thats literally all I remember...5/10

The Crazies...Liked it, better than most thriller/horrors that come up. Starts to get a little over the top towards the end...6.2/10
