I've been trying to track down Bullets Over Broadway for quite a while now, but it's been proving a tricky little bugger to find and all. If it's better than Purple Rose, it'll definitely be worth my time.

You should - it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

It was really bad. I don't think showing ****s and girls ****ting themselves are funny at all. That's what this movie was relying on the whole time. Just sucked.

I just watched Rio. What can I say? It was meant to be entertaining. i was entertained.

YouTube - Rio Trailer

mission accomplished, i guess.

I'm not judging. Pixar kids films are genius, because the entire family can find something to laugh at in them.

Tron 2. No, I saw Green Hornet after that.

Wait, when was Tangled out?

Really looking forward to the opportunity to get out and see an age-appropriate and/or gender appropriate movie.

I just watched The Hangover. It was hilarious :D

This Greek film is definitely from the Michael Haneke school of film making. Odd angles, lack of ambient music and lack of a colour palette at times.

It's a very sterile film in both subject matter and visual style. A middle class married couple keep their 3 late teen children in virtual isolation from the outside world and even assign different meanings to some everyday words to seem to keep them safe from any of the ills from the outside world but of course biology takes it's course and violence on an incremental level and sexual awakening come to the fore.

In fact I absolutely hated this film on one level as it's fairly disjointed story wise and seems to revel in it's cold, clinical approach to the characters but there is also no doubt that it is an intelligent film that poses serious questions about protecting people from the world but ultimately this overbearing stance is not always the right thing to do.

I just about got through it but doubt it if I will watch it again.

Scream 4. Doesn't quite pull off the critique-within-a-movie ...thing? But is surprisingly funny and well cast. I haven't seen any scream movies before, but was there always so much commentary about the horror genre?

The movie seemed like straight fan service, so i think if you are familiar with the other films you'll like it a lot.

My kind of movie. I'm definitely going to give this movie a shot.

I have been meaning to check this movie out, thanks for reminding me.

Watch the first Scream.
Yes there has always been loads of commentary about the horror genre as a whole and about the rules of what happens in a horror movie then people proceed to do everything that they aren't supposed to do when in a horror movie and end up dying. Pretty hilarious imo.

Black Swan... pretty weird, but a good movie.

Normally a big fan of Woody Allen, but this just falls flat. It feels like reading the first draft of Annie Hall, whereupon all the characters are Woody Allen talking to Woody Allen and the jokes feel like the Bananas-era Woody trying to remake Annie Hall.

probably be watching Source Code once I feel like it

I saw this again yesterday. It is a few years old, but i decided to watch it again.



I also decided to see this older movie too from last year.

^^I have to see Infernal Affairs some day. It's supposed to be better than Departed, so they say.

It definitely is. It's much more leaner than Scorsese's film which is a little bloated at times and also features a terrible American accent from Ray Winstone who unfortunately happens to be one of my favourite actors :(

On the plus side Mark Wahlberg will never ever be as good as he is in The Departed. I think he is the best thing in the film.

People give the actors so much credit in Departed but i feel like typical macho no bs cop is one of the easiest roles in hollywood, especially when all it calls for is shouting and spewing cuss words.

/matious does not like marky mark whalberg

I don't like him either. I think he is a terrible actor but he just owns his role in the film. It is the most natural performance he has given and his dialogue in the film is far better written than the usual 'bad cop' roles needed in the genre.

Infernal Affairs is pretty good, not great or anything, certainly not up to par with something like John Woo's Bullet in The Head or Wong Kar Wai's Fallen Angels

I didn't see The Departed cos it has Matt Damon but Mark Wahlberg is in it as well? Ni, ni, ni a thousand times ni

^^Haha, Leonardo Dicrapio is also in it. I can't stand him when he plays tough guys.

^^I'm fine with Leo

Personally, I like Leo a lot more when he isn't playing the intellectual, Inception/Shutter Island type.

he was great in The Departed.

it's also my favorite Scorcese film.

Battle Los Angeles was the most recent one. Pretty awful movie. I can't help but feel they were 13 years too late with this one.

Ha, I watched Shutter Island recently, forgot to post about it. Well, he's playing there a U.S. marshal and a battle hardened war veteran, so a tough guy. I actually thought he was good in both films. There's no room for overacting in Nolan's films and I was so immersed in Shutter Island that I didn't mind him. Aside from occasional overstating he usually does, he was good. Maybe, I'm warming up to him. And I really didn't expect to like the film as much as I did.

Anyway, I like Leo the best when he plays to his strengths. Because of his everlasting boyishness he's at his best when he uses that sneaky, boyish charm, like in Catch Me If You Can.

Played a good drug addict in basketball diaries too.

Movie was stupid, but for his age leo killed it.

The Next Three Days

I really like what I have seen so far. The basic jist of the movie is that Russel Crowe plays a college professor that has to break his wife out of prison for a crime she didn't commit.

I need to re-watch it because I was tired upon first viewing and I just dozed off.

I really hate watching movies in bed.

This movie could've been so much better. I invested to much time into this film.

Limitless

Interesting... I haven't actually watched Shutter Island, I just assumed he played the problem-solving-sleuth-type, which implies a bit of intellectualism. In any case, I agree with that last part

I just saw Hanna. It was cool, I guess. Two things stood out: the music and the action scenes. Everything in between was pretty meehhhhh

All the action scenes with Hanna were terrible i thought. They were edited in a way so that you never actually saw her do any of the stuff, they just showed up grabbing somebody and then cut to the guy on the floor or something. The scenes with Eric Bana were pretty good though.

Well, I mean, you have to consider they were working with a 15(?) year old girl and a PG-13 rating. I thought they did a good job of making them interesting but not unbelievable

I thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite of '10 though prefered The Fighter and Inception over The Kings speech. Really liked it though I went and did some research about King George VI afterward.

I really liked the begining of the film. Unfortunatley it took the trend that The Black Swan, The Island, and A Beautiful Mind took along with plenty of movies before it. Really hoping it wouldn't do that. I still thought it was okay though.

What trend is that?

Went to see Arthur last night. It was pretty bloody funny. Russell Brand made as good an impression as Johnny Depp did in the first Pirates movie, if not better.

The one where the main character has a split personality. Or is very disturbed and is pretending nothing is going/or knows and continues to repeat the same process over and over again.

I dont know if trend is the right word

I just watched "following" which is nolans first film, it was pretty cool

i'd call that more of a theme, wouldn't a trend mean that it was doing a similar thing to other movies at the time of it's release?

Yeah I suppose so. Those movies I've listed though were released within the decade though. I'm guessing that "theme" has been around for quiet some time then.

Hot tub time machine :D
