The Official "Last Movie You Saw" Thread 2: Secret of the Boogaloo

Reservoir Dogs - 8.5/10
Fucking badass.

Evangelion 1.0 - 9/10
Still fucking badass.

Saw this a couple weeks ago for the first time. Goddammit.

That's what I love about it... there are several symbols that are really apparent, but then some, especially in that final sequence during the song, "Death is the Road to Awe" that are really interesting to think about. There's obviously some kind of link among the three stories aside from them all revolving around him basically... I don't know. And that's kind of what I like about it.

The soundtrack is amazing and definitely worth tracking down. Clint Mansell. He works with the Kronos Quartet and Mogwai on this one.

Across The UNiverse. 2/10
Penelope. 0.5/10

When the wife gets to pick movies...

Wow dude... Penelope really failed, huh?

And I totally agree with Across the Universe's rating there. The vocals in those songs were atrocious.

Religulous - 5/10. I thought they could have gone deeper into shit. Was kinda disappointed that no one threw punches at Bill Maher. Decent film, but nothing I'd care to watch again.

Across the Universe

Some of it worked for me, a lot didn't. A character (Prudence) who serves literally no fucking purpose but to be the receiving end of a song that shares her name is not an element of a good film at all. This was like a musical that was too much song and too little story. It started out fine, but the movie was massively disjointed and there were too many points where it was simply one song after another. Could've been amazing, really, but it wasn't.

eagle vs shark. ***. cute, quirky indie film. sorta like napolean dynamite meets me you and everyone we know. sometimes overly quirky, sometimes very endearing,. i enjoyed it.

The only song on Across the UNiverse that worked for me was Let It Be. That little kid singing it at the begining and then...

Best In Show - 8/10

Let the Right One In

Don't know how I feel about it really but I'm leaning to less than average so 4/10 or something. On IMDB it's got an average of like 8.5 and I don't get what about it merits that.

Can't wait to see this.

Just watched Le Samourai.

Fucking yes. I was worried that I was hyping it up way too much for myself, but damn. So damn precise, methodical and masculine. My introduction to Melville, and an amazing one at that.

9.5/10

its excellence?

high five for Melville, C33. check out Le Circle Rouge and Army of Shadows, both amazing films. I currently have Un Flic from netflix and can't wait to watch.

Let The Right One In

9.5/10 and my movie of the year right now

maybe 10/10 during a second watch.

Sorry you didn't like it executioner

Barton Fink - i really enjoyed the idealistic writer struggling in Holywood thing and general surrealism but the ending felt like they couldn't figure out how to make the story climax.

o/

Man, I love that film. I love how Shakespearean the whole thing feels, as with many Coen films I suppose.

prozac nation. **1/4. extra 1/4* for christina ricci and jessica lange performing really well. the story just seems like it's "based on a true story". just there. of course this is what happens. seen it before.

Lost in Translation

Liar Liar

Lust, Caution

8/10

Fuck China for blacklisting the lead female character. Imagine if hollywood blacklisted every American actress that starred in an anti-war movie.

The Fall - beautiful and emotional movie. it reminded me of The Fountain because at times i was like "eh..." but overall is was like "fuck. wow."

everything is illuminated. **1/2, i guess. elijah wood is a fucking annoying faggot.

Saw V/10

The Hunt for Red October

Pretty crappy. 3/10

The Haunting (1963 Version)
8/10

epic win

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (new one) - 6/10

Fairly average, but still entertaining horror movie. A couple of parts made me facepalm through the roof. 2 of the 6 points awarded are just because Jessica Biel is incredibly hot.

Where did you fuckers watch this movie?

at the movie theater

The Silence of the Lambs

still awesome

Save the Green Planet - 5.5/10

Jeesus Faarao Kristus! Equilibrium is on tonight 1:50 am. Nice slot assholes

But that's a bad movie. It doesn't deserve to be shown at all.

Castaway: 8.5/10
Monster House: 6.5/10

River's Edge
Story: 7/10
Soundtrack: \m//10
Keanu Reeves: lol/10

Quantum of Solace - 8/10

Paper Moon - 9.5/10
Gooey mushy feelings galore.

The Bad Sleep Well - 7.5/10
Not his best, but a strong film about corporate corruption, vengeance and family tragedy.

Titanic - 9.5/10

Fuck. Got to see it in HD and changed from 9/10 to 9.5/10. Brilliant lighting and everything.

Getting Even With Dad


Bobby Drace/10.

Yeah it was indeed not very good. I was expecting a lot better.

Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind - 7/10
Great apart from the fact that it was far too long with the ending wrapping up far too quickly, and the lack of engagement in certain parts.

Sunset Blvd - 9/10
Second time viewing, even better than the first. Absolutely classic.

In Bruges - 8/10 Pretty awesome. I really enjoy these kooky British gangster films, and this was one of the better ones.

Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood or something.

hurlyburly. *3/4. too many words.

High Fidelity

John Cusack's character is really consistent and has a unique temperament. The musical references and the parody of the music snob attitude were both great.

Watched Wall E today. Probably the best Pixar film to date. I give it a solid 8/10

Wanted - 6.5/10


good times

Death Defying Acts

I saw this on the train and I really enjoyed it. Guy Pearce rules
