list/discuss/rate - your recently watched movies - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Thought so.

I watched this:

So disturbing, specially when the crew knows what happended to the original crew.

Tropic Thunder funny and off the wall, maybe a little too long but good.. and don't miss the joke trailers before the film starts

Inland Empire. Insanely great movie. The story is very hard to understand, and sometimes (definitely in the first half) you could feel like the movie is going nowhere. The second half of the movie is incredibly eery. David Lynch creates a mood I can't describe, it's just so haunting and terrifying. One of the best films I've ever seen.

The Blair Witch project. After heard the background of this film, I expected something scary and interesting. This really was not the case. The film had some moments that were supposed to be scary, but they really weren't. While I still think what the movie is based on (three students dissapearing in a wood which is said to be haunted) is very interesting and scary, I think the movie itself fails to do this.

Clerks 2 (again) - Love it so much. Consistently funny, and makes me wish the digital age wasn't so imminent. 9/10

The last few movies I've watched:

Fracture (Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling) - Liked Hopkins but couldn't get behind Gosling. 7/10

Transporter 3 (Jason Statham, some chick with freckles) - I like Statham but this series should have stopped at two. The freckle chick drove me up the wall with her attempt at broken english (What means this? What means that?) 4/10

Body Of Lies (DiCaprio, Crowe) - I like CIA movies and this one may top Spy Game in my "favorites" list.. Dicaprio and Crowe are both excellent in their roles and it's a great story. 10/10

Michael Clayton (George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson) - I've become a big fan of Clooney movies and also like movies about "insiders". This is a great movie with a very good overall cast (Tilda Swinton has been showing up in several of my favorite movies lately). 9/10

Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood) - I've been a fan of Eastwood since Rawhide and especially since he started working both sides of the camera. This one left me a little short. The racial slurs were overdone (probably three times more than necessary). The young Asian cast were good but overall their performances were flat. 7/10

Code (Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas) - Hey, I like movies about thieves (Absolute Power, The Score, Entrapment, etc.). Freeman and Banderas are both tops with me and I'll take the blond Russian chick over the freckle Russian chick any day. 8/10

88 Minutes (Al Pacino) - Interesting story line with twists and of course there's Al Pacino who can do no wrong. I liked it but put it one notch below Righteous Kill. 8/10

Righteous Kill (De Niro, Pacino) - It's worth watching the movie just to see these two guys together again. But it is also a great movie on it's own. You hang on every scene just to see what happens next. There's been a lot of "cop partner" movies and this is definitely one of the better ones. 9/10

Here's just a few Clint Eastwood movies that I liked more than Gran Torino:

Absolute Power (great cast, good story)

Bloodwork (interesting story: transplant, dead girl's sister, etc.)

Million Dollar Baby (Eastwood and Freeman were top notch)

Heartbreak Ridge (Eastwood joins Lee Ermey, Jack Webb and Samuel L. Jackson as a member of the "Top Sgt" Hall Of Fame)

I just watched Spirited Away last night (japanese w/ english subtitles) and I loved it.

Clerks - 10/10
Mallrats - 8/10
Chasing Amy - 9/10
Dogma - 8/10
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - 6/10
Clerks 2 - 9/10

I love those movies (not so much Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, tho...)

Although thinking back on it, you have to admit that the script for Gran Torino was exceedingly clunky at times. I enjoyed the other 75% of the movie enough that it made up for it, but even still.

if you own a sodastream i hate you
