Thread Starter 
Starting a new thread about great and not so great movies you've seen lately. Here is Part 1.

My latest movie was Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Of course, I loved it!

We went to see Inception today.

My head is still spinning.

Not really a film but I've been watching the special 150th episode of The Family Guy titled Brain & Stewie over & over again trying to understand it. It's probably one of the finest pieces of cartoon comedy I've seen. Very well written. Serious issues come up including suicide & what love means to some grossed out humor like eating dog feces & vomit. The entire episode is basically Stewie & Brain locked in a Bank vault over the course of 3 days exchanging dialogue.

SALT. Just average.

Carl Dreyer's superb Ordet. It occupies the top spot and the Arts and Faith list of 100 spiritually significant films--and for good reason. BTW, the list is comprised of great films that even appeal to an old atheist like me.

Dying to see Inception !
Saw The Crazies last night starring Timothy Olyphant. Good movie, tons of action - kind of like Outbreak meets zombies I guess. Timothy Olyphant was 'Hitman' in the movie and he was bald in it- so I did spend an awful lot of time looking at his hair in this movie. He actually looks better bald.

I went to see Inception IMAX last week. A truly mindblowing picture, it's "the matrix" of this decade. I want to watch it again!

Saw Clash Of The Titans last night. A great movie but really, they could have chosen a better actor for the main character of Perseus. I couldn't get past thinking about soccer and soccer fans when watching Perseus in this movie.

Red Desert (1964)
Days of heaven (1978)
In Bruges (2008)

all good movies. In Bruges is very violent though...

Avatar was on in the background the other night...it's a lot less entertaining when it's not on a big screen or in 3D.

I'm not knocking it...I know the movie sort of depends on the quality of the visuals, and I admire them. It's just that you're sort of limited to watching in an impressive format.

La Ceremonie (1994) by Claude Chabrol, starring Sandrine Bonnaire, Isabelle Huppert and Jacqueline Bisset
post #22 of 4029
Revisited one of my absolute favorites - Little Murders (1971). Subversive is the word that comes to mind.
post #23 of 4029
Ramona and Beezus, with my 2 daughters...I read all the Beverly Cleary books as a kid and the movie is really a compliation of the books' greatest hits...it wasn't a classic but it was very cute and I got some laughs out of it.

Prince of Persia.

Meh...

Re-watched "Little Vera" (1988) last evening
post #27 of 4029
Hachiko: A Dog's Story last night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/ By far the best film I've watched over the last 10 years, but make sure you have loads of hankies at the ready

A little Australian gem called Kenny.

It's a mockumentary about an Aussie portable toilet plumber. Funny and touching, too.

The big operator (1976)
post #31 of 4029
Prince of Persia Sands of Time last night. It was far better than I thought it would be.
post #32 of 4029
I finally saw Inglorious Basterds on Showtime. Bloody but interesting enough, although somewhat boring in a few overlong and tedious segments.
post #33 of 4029
I'll be watching a film called 'Beneath Hill 60' tonight. It looks like it's a good one from the reviews http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1418646/ but I always take reviews with a pinch of salt.

2009s Moon directed and co-written by Duncan Jones. This is a Si-Fi masterpiece reminiscent of both Stanislav Lem's Solaris and Walter C. Clarke's 2001. This is a 10.

Actor Sam Rockwell gives a tour-de-force performance in what is one of the best Si-Fi films I have ever seen. Not full of shoot-em-up action but definitely an intelligently thought out gem.

I love this movie. Mr. Rockwell is a great actor.

Fame

It was fun and I love the choreography

La Mission

Benjamin Bratt deserves an Oscar - amazing.
post #37 of 4029
Watched The Quiet Man tonight for the first time in many, many years.

My daughter was incensed at the political incorrectness of it all. LOL! I would have been too, as a teenager.

The General, Buster Keaton. Loved it.
post #42 of 4029
Friday night, The Back-up Plan, it was okay.
post #43 of 4029
Robin Hood 2010. I've no idea how I got to the end of this, it was one of the most boring films I've sat through in ages, not a patch on the Kevin Costner or Robin Hood films from years ago. The acting from Cate Blanchett was so wooden, I thought she had strings attached and someone was operating her
post #44 of 4029
I finally took myself to see Inception last night. What an entertaining ride. I walked out of it looking at the world like I was still in it. Then I had weird dreams all night.
post #45 of 4029


cheers
post #46 of 4029
Inception I've seen 4 times at the cinema. Just saw American Beauty and it earned a place in my top 10, possibly even top 5, of all time.

The fourth power (1985)

post #49 of 4029
I finally saw Julie & Julia last night (or is it Julia & Julie?), and I loved it more than I expected to. The best parts were Meryl Streep's Julia Child and Stanley Tucci's Paul Child.

Maurice (1987)

Heat

Solid film. Michael Mann classic with an all star cast.
post #52 of 4029
I just saw the movie Letters To Juliette, really enjoyed it.
post #53 of 4029
The American starring George Clooney with my dad last night. Slow, but good acting & interesting Italian locales, but not so much that it is a "must watch on big screen" before it goes to DVD.
post #54 of 4029
George Romero's Survival Of The Dead.... is crap....don't bother. Seriously !

The Back Up Plan - well, I loved it - I think a lot of women may well do. The scene where Zoe's former support group member has a water birth is hilarious. Men may not find it so, though.....
post #55 of 4029
The re-release of Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones. It's a concert movie from 1973, right around the time they released Exile On Main Street. A good one if you're a Stones fan.
post #56 of 4029


Just finished watching again for who knows how many times. One of my favorites since I was a kid. The best disaster movie of the "disaster movie boom" of the time. A cast of real actors & actresses, unlike the trash of today.
post #57 of 4029
L’Incorrigible (1975)
post #58 of 4029
Well obviously the new SHERLOCK series!

See the thread below

Cheers,

Mario
