What's the last movie you've seen?

[King]

I find visual films to be better under the influence of anything. Plots are too much effort.

[they don't love you like i love you]

I should definitely add The Tree of Life to my list of "films to watch while high" list, after Inception.

[Gustaf]

I finally saw Midnight in Paris.  It's my favorite movie of 2011 hands down.


A good movie for Naso, but he probably wouldn't get why.

Also saw that recently. Ironically enough while influenced. Not the best choice for that but I still liked it.

In case I forgot to mention it here I also saw Iron Lady recently. That was pretty much crap though.

I accept the narrative was clumsy and innacurate ,and missed out a lot of the undramatic but important things, I  thought the acting was outstanding. Meryl Deserves the Oscar IMO.

[Marokai Backbeat]

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, and I still have an irrational love of it.

Oh, right. I agree the acting was good (though I haven't seen enough or followed the race to comment on the Oscars). It's a good example of how good acting can't really save a badly directed bad script though.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Disappointing. It's way too slow and uneventful for my tastes.

[Beet]

The Descendants

[Politico]

The Artist. Interesting experience. Poignant film. I am not sure if it is a gimmick or not, though. Only time will tell (i.e., will people talk about it five years from now?)

The Descendants is better, though.

[Хahar 🤔]

Viva Cuba

Long stretches of monotony interrupted by brief glimpses of WTF (although perhaps it would have made more sense if I had seen it with subtitles), along with a shocking amount of implied nudity for a film about prepubescent children. There was one dude who kind of looked like Lewis Trondheim, though.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Weekend.

Apparently some people like that movie. I would enjoy actually meeting one of them.

Very weird movie.

Wow, didn't know about this one.

Wow, me neither. And it did Cannes.

How come I forgot one in the last row that I posted here:

Dikkenek !

Crazy Belgian movie about random normal people engaged in odd situations that are as normal as crazy. It's not easy to well describe. Very Belgian. Belgians are quite good at those stuffs.

(when a French says 'Belgian/Belgium', he indeed means 'Wallon/Wallonia', Flanders/Flemish are not part of our universe, or only for the people living close to the border who needs to buy cigarettes.)

The Vow.


Truly awful.

[Politico]

The Grey. Again.

Truly awesome.

Coincidentally, it could be an allegory for the 2012 Republican primaries/caucuses with Liam Neeson playing Mitt Romney, and the wolves representing Democratic Party special interests with Alpha Wolf Barack Obama and Omega Wolf John King (Think back to Newt's response to John's debate opener a few weeks ago). One of the human characters is even a black guy whose fate resembles the whimpering exit of Herman Cain. And look at how closely the "final four" in the movie parallel Mitt, Rick, Newt and Ron Paul LOL


READY FOR THE ALPHA WOLF

I think this is final proof that you must be a total fraud... It was truly appalling, incredibly lazy film making...

Me - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last week and The Artist tonight...

You bring up a CNN Debate Host here, and it's John King!!

Well, if you saw the way the troublemaker of the group (Gingrich) took care of the omega wolf (John King) after his surprise attack, you would get the joke I am making.

How so? I thought it was well done. I was expecting MUCH less. I was expecting a mindless popcorn flick, a mere escape from reality with a few good unintentional laughs, and actually got a bit of substance with a few emotional moments (e.g., the plane crash and the ending). The acting, music and cinematography were outstanding, especially for an action-adventure film. It is a better film than probably half of the films that garnered a 2012 Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. It is one of the best January releases I have ever seen. It received nearly 80% on Rotten Tomatoes for a reason.

What did you think of these two? I quite liked them. Not sure how The Artist is going to be remembered in the future, though. Strikes me as a bit "gimmicky." I feel like The Descendants is a better film, but The Artist will probably win Best Picture.

[Politico]

Shut up.

What's your problem, Mr. Stuck in 1977?

[Marokai Backbeat]

The Singing Detective was in 1986. He wouldn't dare go further back in time than that.

TTSP - was very La Carre, very well done - a slow -burner. Just came out of the Artist, it was a really lovely and really well made.

[Eraserhead]

I saw most of The Grey and considering that I had basically no interest in it prior to seeing it, I was kind of blown away by it. It's a dark, interesting film with some minor problems. Why Politico has to turn it into another Romney masturbationathon, who knows? Well, okay, we know why... it's his whole schtick.

[Pingvin]

Watched Russian film Generation P yesterday. Weird, but describes the 90's in Russia well.

THANK YOU! I was beginning to think I was the only one on here. By the way, I hope you caught it on the big screen because I imagine it's much more powerful in the theater.

A highly underrated little gem that is going to be unwatched by many who would be surprised by how good it is. They marketed it to get in the January movie crowd, but it is easily one of the best January releases of modern times. I might even go so far as to say it would have got an Oscar nod for Best Picture had it been released in December. I thought I was going to get "LIAM NEESON KICKS WOLF ASS! LIAM NEESON IN THE MOVIE TAKEN MEETS SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA!" but it really is a rather dark, interesting film with some truly poignant moments. Not many films do as good of a job of portraying survival, and dealing with death. I almost got teary-eyed at one particular moment near the end (and anybody who has seen it knows which scene I am talking about; anybody who does not get somewhat emotional during that scene has obviously never lost a loved one before, or did not pay attention to the rest of the movie). There is also a moment of pure horror in the film: I had my hand stuck in the popcorn bowl, mouth wide open, from the beginning to the end of the plane crash. I do not think I have ever seen a scarier portrayal of a plane crash before with the possible exception of the very end of United 93. I reflected upon the movie for quite awhile afterward, too. You know a movie is powerful when it basically forces you to think about it afterward. Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means; simply a really good movie that kicks the sh**t out of your expectations.
