What Movie Did You Just See?

[Jaimoe]

I concur with the recommendations for Time Bandits and The Fisher King. I'll also add the mind-fuck 12 Monkeys. I wonder if Terry really has lost "it" as a director. He feuds with production companies making his latter era films unfilmable and unwatchable.

I've kinda wondered that myself. 12 Monkeys is awesome. Forgot he did that one.

I saw "There Will Be Blood" over the weekend. Daniel Day Lewis is unbelievable, just really an outstanding performance. It was certainly well written and filmed...but I just didn't enjoy it that much. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for a 2+ hour movie about a psychotic egomaniac, and left the theatre wishing I'd seen "Juno". I knew what I was getting into, was actually looking forward to it, just didn't enjoy it...that's it. I felt no connection to it.

I would recommend seeing it though...Daniel Day Lewis is a master, and PT Anderson is an exciting director.

Greenwood was disqualified for competing for an Oscar in the Best Score category. Atonement's score won.

This is from an Oscar blog:

The disqualification has been attributed to a designation within Rule 16 of the Academy's Special Rules for Music Awards (5d under "Eligibility"), which excludes "scores diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music."

In other words, he used parts of his earlier work "Popcorn Superhet Reciever" to make it.

The new movie Southland Tales from the director of Donnie Darko comes out on DVD next week. It looks like its either gonna be really bad or really good. I'm really having a lot of doubts about it. Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtp14ikRvxo

I'll wager it will suck. Videos that go straight-to-video normally do so for a reason.

Same stupid reason Eddie Vedder was excluded for Into the Wild.  So instead of adding a touch of relevence to a stuffy and dated awards show, we're treated to the same old dramatic musical scores.

No Country For Old Men  {SPOILERS}

What a strange movie.  It had everything that I look for in a great movie- good characters, beautiful cinematography, a memorable villian, and truckloads of atmosphere, yet for all that it felt incomplete.  Like it was missing an act almost, that the story didn't have a proper resolution.    

I wonder if it was because I didn't get the Hollywood shoot-out between Moss and Chigurh that I was expecting.  I mean they had a shoot-out but when they both went off to lick their wounds I expected the sky too fall when they met back up for the final shoot-out.  Instead he dies off camera and by people not even associated with Chigurh.  I love that on the one hand cuz it's so unexpected but on the other I guess I grew up watching Die Hard movies so I felt a little cheated.

Best dialouge ever though.  Awesome lines.    

[Jaimoe]

No Country For Old Men stayed faithful to the ending of the book, which I admire. Some people didn't like the way Eastern Promises ended, but I think it was perfect because it was believable and multi-layered.

I really loved Eastern Promises as well, especially b/c of the ending!

About the MCFOM book, I had a terrible time trying to navigate through that book, and not only that I'm trying to make heads or tails out of The Road and I keep coming up short.  I finally gave up and decided to watch the movie for No Country, McCarthy writes beautiful lines but I oftentimes find myself confused as to who is speaking or what the set-up of the scenes that the characters are interacting in looks like in my mind.

I just watched this yesterday.  It did end quite abruptly, but overall, I really liked it.
