I liked the soundtrack, I'll give it that. But, yeah, the movie did absolutely nothing for me and I found myself constantly watching the timer waiting for the end. Honestly, it made me rethink my interest in watching any of Refn's other movies.

I felt the same about Waking Life ;)

The Fourth Kind (2009)

Wow this sucked. I mean I really wasn't holding out a lot of hope given the Netflix rating and what it predicted I would rate it as, but still... the only thing this has going for it is that it's not as bad as Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County.

Waking Life made you not want to watch any Refn movies? ;)

I saw Pusher before some guy threw a camera in a students face and made a movie out of it ;)

and I know Pusher came out later but that made a far better impression.

Saw this was on Netflix and I hadn't seen it in years so I figured I'd revisit it. Still a great movie with good performances all around, especially from Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman. Many priceless laugh out loud scenes as well, I can totally relate to Benjamin Braddock in feeling unmotivated and directionless in life. The one complaint I had with the movie, if you could call it one, was how impassive Elaine was about get married to the pipe-smoking frat boy, but maybe it wasn't out of the ordinary in the '60s to begrudgingly get married? I don't know if that would qualify as a plot hole or not. Interestingly Ebert revisited the movie 30 years after his original review with a modified one saying it hadn't aged well. Coming from someone who was born almost 25 years after it's release, I can assure him that it has aged well. The themes are still very relatable and the soundtrack is still one of the all time greatest

Love this whole scene:

Watched a few films the last couple days. Been having a lot of late night movie watches, so there's nothing better than late night comedies:

Dumb and Dumberer

Gets more and more funny the more times I watch it. Nothing beats the scene with Bob Saget screaming about their being **** all over his bathroom:



Anchorman

Classic Will Ferrell, freaking love this movie. It's perfect for those moments when you're looking for a good laugh at the dumbest things. One of my favorite Ferrell movies honestly, mostly because it's not really similar to the terrible Step Brothers.

I don't think this post could have more properly illustrated the old adage of "different strokes for different folks". I loathe both of those movies.

I love them for the stupidity. Don't know if that makes me immature or what.

Anchorman is fucking hilarious.
