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

It's being released on blu-ray this week

WALL*E: A Robot Love Story

'Twas released last week in the U.S.

It totally kicks ass.

The Incredible Hulk 7.5/10


Edward Norton was good, but the story was just ok.

Deliverance. 4.5/5. Awesome atmosphere, I loved the story. All-around great film. I'll never look at "Dueling Banjos" the same again.

Fuck, got delayed here, new date: 5th Dec.

A Bittersweet Life - 8/10

While being quite an unoriginal film, and kind of one-dimension, its just a fucking blast to watch. So energetic, visceral and brutal. Got me more excited for "The Good, The Bad & The Weird", which ya'll should be excited for.

Yeah. Awesome.

What Would Jesus Buy. 1/5. Fucking absurd documentary about a comedian starting the church of stop shopping to prevent the shopcocalypse. Sounded kind of intriguing by the description, but it was god-awful. Avoid.

Super High Me. 4/5. I think Doug Benson is funny, and even though nothing really happened throughout the documentary I was laughing pretty hard at various points. The volcano was awesome. Recommended.

Spellbound. 4/5. Cute little documentary following eight spelling bee champs around their daily lives in preparing for the national spelling bee championship in Washington D.C.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* [*The side effects of being American]. 4.5/5. Hilarious, sometimes sobering look at the lives of peope who are on steroids. Chris Bell directs and hosts this documentary looking for the answers of why steroids are so popular in American culture.

I've been on a bit of a documentary kick, I guess, wow. The wife has a bunch more docs in queue and they all look pretty sweet.

First Blood. 9/10

NOTHING IS OVER WHO ARE THEY TO PROTEST ME?

yes, documentaries are awesome. I think it's time for me to bump a bunch of them up on my netflix queue

The Bourne Identity - 7/10

Smiley Face.

Even by stoner comedy standards this falls short. I didn't find myself loling at all during the movie, just a few forced chuckles. I'm a big fan of the stoner comedy genre too. Avoid this movie its horrid.

where the buffalo roam. *1/2. the first thing i thought was "wow, it's going to be impossible to watch bill murray do this throughout the entire movie because i've seen johnny depp do it 1000 times better". to me, the tone of the film was like "oh, hunter s thompson is just so crazy! look at him talking into a tape recorder and firing his gun at random things! he's just so damn absurd, isn't he? oh boy!" it felt like some weird exploitation flick a lot of times. there are some genuinely funny moments, but the way it was made is just so fucking stupid it drives me nuts. "hey bill, just ACT CRAZY and everyone will know that you're supposed to be that CRAZY JOURNALIST. yeah!" up the fucking wall, man.

Transsiberian Express.

What started out as a really boring romantic movie with a little drama quickly turns into a totally awesome movie! Definitely worth seeing.

Being Jon Malkovich - 8/10
Closet land - 6/10
The Devil's Backbone - 7/10

Quantum of Solace

awesome

Australia - 4.5/10
Yojimbo - 8/10

Weeds Season 1. This show is awesome so far. I can't wait to watch season 2.

Ran. holy fuck/10

I've heard some rumors of a new restored reel of this being up in Los Angeles sometime next year. I hope it's true.

Also, Kurosawa mini film fest here in two weeks

I've been meaning to watch this for a long time

Step Brothers for the 3rd time. 8/10 Fuckin' great. I've becoming a nut fan of Will Ferrell and crew

Quarantine. Creepy as fuck. Basically 28 Days Later + Cloverfield.

Pulp Fiction for the first time

9.5/10

Schindler's List - 9/10

Twilight.

Shark Attack 3 - 6/10

The Mist - 3/10

Rounders - 6/10

The Incredible Hulk. 6.5/10

Not bad, but not mind-blowing either. Norton was great, but I had trouble finding Hurt's character to be believeable (which is bad because I usually like William Hurt) and I find Liv Tyler both untalented and unattractive, so there was that. Neither one of them sold me, and for that matter Tim Roth, who usually delivers, didn't work for me either. The story was somewhat engaging I guess. Then there was the heavy reliance on CG, which was also a bit hit or miss sometimes.

Interesting scene at the end there, pretty cool actually, but certainly not enough to save the movie. I wanted to put it in the same league as Iron Man, for obvious reasons, but it just wasn't up there.

Tropic Thunder - good movie, could have been better. some jokes made me laugh, others made me Robert Downey Jr kinda stole the show. also lol@Tom Cruise didn't recognize him at all 7/10

Kairo/Pulse - 7/10


The movie was creepy as shit. Some scenes were incredibly unsettling and creepy, but overall I had a hard time understanding what was going on. The acting/dialogue was cheesy.

I just had a kubrick marathon at my house. We watched Dr. Strangelove, Clockwork, Full Metal Jacket, and 2001

I just saw it for the first time a few weeks ago, I can't kick myself enough for putting it off so long.

"I'm a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker!"

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - 9/10

A lovely little anime film. Brilliantly animated, lots of humour without being annoying/too cliche (even though it's set in a high school with romance and a magical girl and all that), with lots of really touching, heartfelt moments. I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend it to anyone.

It happens to everyone. Strangely enough, once I fell out of that phase, I slowly fell back into it after developing a new respect for Quentin, completely different to the one I initially had for him.

The Hustler - 8.5/10

Great shit here. Quite a dark film about a loser who just happens to be a bad ass motherfucker on the pool table. The analysis of his relationships and his life is quite well flushed out and confronting for when it was made. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Girl Who Lept Through Time (omg wat) - 7/10

Wonderful animation, intriguing sometimes quite moving film, but it has its flaws, namely the fact that it doesn't know what sort of message or conclusion it wants to leave the audience with, which totally detracts from any lasting impact the film had on me. Not to say the film isn't great though, and I would recommend it.

Fargo

Yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

season 2 is awesome, as well. season three is kinda 'meh', but you definitely need season 2

jesus, i couldnt agree more

Just got through season 2 and am 7 episodes into season 3... kind of a weak way to get out of the whole situation with U Turn, but whatev... I still like it, though, definitely so far not as good as the first two seasons.

I thought the story was great in the first 2 seasons and the 3rd season was funnier but with a weaker story. Have not watched the 4th season yet.

4th season is pretty poor, but still worth watching for some Doug/Andy hilariousness.


I watched Donnie Darko last night.

Most people seem to hate it or think it's one of the greatest things ever. It's alright.

Doug is so fucking awesome. Andy too. Foot fuckers. And Doug's dance in front of the shit geyser was amazing.

Hana Bi (Fireworks) - 8.5/10

Really moving film. Shot really well also.

Clockers - 6.5/10

Cinematography and performances were spot on. Just didn't know what its intention was and gave mixed messages.

o/

Lost and Delirious - 6.8/10

Dewey Cox

I don't like to rate comedies like dramas, just whether it was funny or not. This movie was funny because of all the supporting actors. Great cast for a comedy and the music references were nice.

Depatures (Okuribito) - 8/10

Japan's entry into the Foreign Language category at the Oscars. Very enjoyable if a little cheesy at some points, but overall very beautiful and well done.

I Am Legend - 7.9/10
I liked it alot actually. I've always liked Will Smith (even if he "over-acts").

Hellboy II - 8.2/10
A very good sequel. Del Toro is a fucking force when it comes to detail. There is so much going on in this movie it's insane.

Dan in Real Life. ***1/2/5. I liked it, very cute story, but I didn't feel close enough to the characters to care enough about the end of the film. Well-written and well-directed, just not well enough developed.

rented some film-noir over the weekend...

The Big Sleep
Sunset Blvd
Double Indemnity

awesome movies 9+/10
