The Last Movie You Watched (no spoilers)

[ckhokie]

Watched Arrival last night. Best movie I've seen so far this year

 

[Duffman]

Saw Before I Fall today, despite it being like a Groundhog Day/Butterfly Effect hybrid it wasn't half bad.

 

[Chef99]

Death Sentence - Had a buncha cliches and holes to overlook, but Kevin Bacon made it work. Great actors/directors usually do.

Last movie I watched in a theater was that awful Batman/Superman: Dawn of Justice. I can't think of a worse movie that I've seen in a long time - but I did enjoy the Wonder Woman cameo!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Moonstruck - great movie. Feel good stuff.

Wife and I watched Nocturnal Animals last night.

I could tell where they were during half of it. In the book, in the past or next week. I quit halfway through and logged on to SportsHoopla.

Moonlight: 0.5/5 stars. Man, what unrivaled, pretentious, hot-steaming garbage this movie was. Did anyone else see it? It seriously sucked ass.

Yah, terrible film. Gay black boy finds out growing up in the projects is rough. I'm all for character studies but this film was just lazy about it. I thought the first segment with the boy as 'Little' was the best, but even that was somewhat flat.

It just won best picture and got hype because the Academy last year received backlash from ACTUAL racist people because no black film or black actors won anything. So in response they picked the most black film of the year and gave it a nomination. Pretty pathetic. Saw every other best picture (spare La La Land - just not a fan of musicals) nominee and all were FAR better than 'Black'light.

The main bad guy was great too.

I gave it 2.5/5 stars. Great performances from Gyllenhaal, Adams, and especially Shannon, but a little too scattershot for my liking. Also, a lot of dull dialogue in the middle.

I like vampire movies. Not the lovey dovey ones that were a series in both the theatre and TV (I fucking hated True Blood) recently (last 10 years?).

But I always rent them when they are new. One I liked that you don't see often is Near Dark. Vampires (a lot of them you know) in a huge RV with only pin holes to see through, racing about the country.

But the movie I just finished watching today (in Happy Hour in my recroom in front of my fireplace) blew me away the first time I saw it, and yes the ending was fluffy..

30 Days of Night. Great vampires, great idea. Well pulled off.

I love it.

I really love it.

I did as well. Turned on Netflix and couldn't pass it up. My 18 year old daughter was greatly amused that I could quote it line for line.

Like I said, it had a bunch of folks you know, Henriksen, Goldstein, Paxton, etc.....

One of my favourites.

But 30 Days of Night is better.

Weird.........!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to have a movie afternoon and evening in my man cave. I watched two.

Dracula....Untold. Every time I watch this one I find something I didn't see before. It's not great but I like it and have watched it three or four times.

The second one was The Equalizer with Denzel. It makes my visits to Home Depot more enjoyable every time I watch it.

I have to cull my Blu Ray collection. I've got about 20-25 I never watch anymore. My new tax person says I can deduct $15-$20 each if I give them to Goodwill.

Blood Simple: 2/5 stars. I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for this, but this one just did not stick with me (although that song at the end "It's The Same Old Song" was pretty amazing). For me, a movie comes down largely to two things: performances from the actors/actresses, and plot. Now, cinematography and how a movie looks is important, I'm not saying it isn't, but those are the two main things for me. I didn't find either in large abundance in this film, though I will say that the guy who played the PI was pretty good. It just felt like a movie about a simple idea, kind of the same problem I had with Fargo.

The Coen brothers are hard to pin down. They can make some good/borderline great films, and then some ones that are kind of meh. Here is my list from favorite to least favorite of theirs:

Miller's Crossing: 4/5 stars
Barton Fink: 4/5 stars
Fargo: 3/5 stars
Blood Simple: 2/5 stars
No Country For Old Men: 1.5/5 stars
