What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

We Bought a Zoo

and

August Rush

:)

[Kobi]

My Girlfriends Boyfriend - Alyssa Milano

Jesse finds one guy who is Mr Right, and another who is Mr. Perfect. Or did she? Sweet romantic film with a plot twist I didnt see coming.

Weapons of Self Destruction - Robin Williams live in DC.

Man still gives new meaning to still crazy after all these years. Brilliant but nuts. His Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin stuff had me rolling on the floor.

[nycbutch]

Pariah----highly recommend seeing it! Very well done with some great acting!!!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo---excellent movie!!!

[LeftWriteFemme]

Night at the Opera - I like Duck Soup better, but anything with the Marx Brothers is great fun!

[Alurra]

The Muppets. Was like visiting with old friends.

Sherlock Holmes. Didn't like it as well as the first one. Had to many guns and shoot-em-up scenes and not enough Sherlock deducing scenes.

[TheDreadPirateRoberts]

the help ....it was amazing!

[Julien]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

"Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning seven times?" Mr. Daws.

[Kobi]

"Cowboys and Aliens"

I really thought the title was a euphemism. Silly me. Silly movie.

"Dad's in Heaven With Nixon"

Billed as a documentary about a man born in the 60's with neurological damage who is later diagnosed as autistic, and his mother's quest to do everything she could to unlock all his potential. The film was made by his older brother.

However, it seemed like more of an attempt to have a cathartic experience by reviewing generations of dysfunctional family dynamics colored by undiagnosed and untreated substance abuse and mental illness.

[Elijah]

Just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a documentary on 2 men who changed their lives by changing their diets.

I may give it a try Myself.

[ButchEire]

I really thought the same thing about "Snakes on a Plane." It HAD to be a metaphor for something important, right? Uh, no.


"Cowboys and Aliens"

I really thought the title was a euphemism. Silly me. Silly movie.

[TheDreadPirateRoberts]

i watched the remake of the girl with the dragon tattoo....it was good...i'd still take the original if i had to choose...but the remake did have some good strong points...

[scootebaby]

Bought a Zoo-with Matt Damon...it was funny,cute,heartwarming...definitely worth seeing....and based on a true story!

[Rockinonahigh]

I watched rise planet of the apes,was a good movie.

[Kobi]

Margin Call

With an all star cast, including Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci etc, I expected more. But, I suspect it was a pretty accurate portrayal of how damage control is/was done on Wall Street. Very different, emotionally stifled, values barren kind of thing.

[Venus007]

Detective Dee
It is sort of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and House of Flying Daggers.
It was good, visually interesting and I am a sucker for ninjas

[Skittlesluver]

"Chasing Amy"...I love Jay and Silent Bob! :pirate-steer:

[foxyshaman]

Source Code - did not like it. Could not hold my attention.

War Horse - typical Spielberg, happy ending and whatnot. Not a huge Spielberg fan. Fantastically trained horses. Enjoyed it

Sucker Punch - Loved it. Can see why it was panned by the critics. Give me a movie with strong kick ass women lead roles...

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - different aspects from the Swedish version, I preferred the original. They made Lisbeth a more "likeable" character. Overall I can not find fault with it.

[ONLY]

Son and I watched "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" couple of nights ago. My boy really liked it even though he JUMPED outta the recliner at one point lol

[HoustonHuny]

Watched "Fire in the sky" on netflix last night. I never saw it before. I kept waiting for James Garner to reveal the hoax and he never did so....

today, I had to research the so-called true story on google.

[HoustonHuny]

Son and I watched "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" couple of nights ago. My boy really liked it even though he JUMPED outta the recliner at one point lol

I am a sucker for all the Jurassic Park movies and yes, they make me jump out of the recliner too!

I downloaded and we watched A Christmas Story, I LOVE that movie!

Haunting.

Ebon saw this and said he hated it.

But he's been known to fall asleep during really good movies, so I would take that with a grain of salt.

:)

We saw One Day today and I cried.

It's fantastic and raw and lovely all at the same time.

[Hack]

The Debt on DVD. I think it was one of the underrated films of 2011. And I may have a little crush on Jessica Chastain.

[Kobi]

Midnight in Paris

Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Rachel McAdams, Owen Wilson

I am not a Woody Allen enthusiast but this movie was very entertaining. Only Allen could figure out how to weave a story of a modern man's search for direction in his life using the help of his heroes of the past including Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein, Cole Porter, Picasso, Dali, Ray, Bunuel, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, Degas. Kathy Bates played a perfect Gertrude Stein.

And, he spun more than one memorable line. My favorite was calling the tea party republicans - "crypto-fascist airhead zombies".

Definately will have to watch this one a few more times to appreciate all the imagery and symbolism it contains.

[SugarFemme]

If you like Jessica Chastain, you have to watch her in the movie, "Jolene". What a journey she takes you on.

I loved this movie beginning to end. Woody Allen makes every city look gorgeous and I wanted to book a trip to Paris after I watched this movie. Great little movie.

Billy Elliot. I love this movie, and watching on a Skype date was even better! lol :-D

*sniff sniff*

[Venus007]

"Butch Jamie" Awful movie, deeply disliked the protagonist, disliked the message it sent, badly acted, just ugh what a waste of time

[Soft*Silver]

Kill The Irishman, on Netflix....

damn good movie about my area in the 70s and the mafia

[Daktari]

The Borrowers (a remake of a kids story shown on tv on Christmas Day)

I loved it, our Stately Homo Stephen Fry was cast as 'the baddie'. Victoria Wood cast as granny. Christopher Eccleston as father Borrower. A fab cast.

[Abigail Crabby]

Recently seen in the Schmooze/Abi household

Highly Enjoyed

n6lveTYlHic


Having not read the books - I was somewhat bored :| Jo and the Kidlette loved it...

hrFgnizJ7qY

Sci Fi enthusiast, I enjoyed the premise and the special effects, I believe Jo struggled to stay awake during this - poorly acted not one I'd see again and I tend to watch good sci fi several times.

One of my favourite movies....I saw the stage version and preferered the movie. :)

Oh, Billy Elliot for me... And no matter what she says .... I didn't cry !! I say my Skype connection was fuzzy !

Colombiana and Gnomeo & Juliet today.

Loved the former and had a good laugh at the latter.

I've yet to watch Gnomeo and Juliet....hopefully I will at the weekend. :)

[JAGG]

Took my neice to see the Muppet movie. It was cute.

[Countyfem]

Strangers In Good Company
This Canadian film is the delightful story about a group of remarkable women travelers who, when stranded, turn their escapade into a truly magical time of humor and adventure.

Love it have watched it many many times

[1QuirkyKiwi]

The Fingersmith

Costume drama set at a good pace with plot twists and turns to keep you interested. Based on a novel by Sarah Waters.

[willow]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Much better film than the first one. More polished. More gritty. Deeper...

Edge of the seat stuff!

[Abigail Crabby]

Today -

Gnomeo and Juliet :|

[Sassy]

Something random off of Showtime with Demi Moore and David Duchovny titled "The Joneses" ... it was supposed to be a satire. I think they tried to be poignant and fell flat. I wouldn't recommend it. My thoughts at the end of the film... "I should've just re-watched Princess Bride." *laughs*

[PumaJ]

"The Secret Life of Bees". Intense & very good.

[ruby_woo]

Finally saw Hugo on Monday. Very cute, loved the old (and fake old) film clips.

[Kobi]

The House of D

David Duchovny, Robin Williams, Tea Leone, Frank Langella

An American artist living a bohemian existence in Paris is trying to make sense of his troubled adult life by reflecting upon his extraordinary childhood in Greenwich Village in 1973. When an unexpected tragedy radically alters his world, he must take a life-defining choice – one that will compel him as an adult to confront his unfinished past.

Loved this movie. Excellent cast. Smart dialogue. Lots of humor. Good music.

[Rook]

Hachi : A Dog's Tale

4th time, and it still brings a knot to my fuggin' throat ...

Made me think of my own fur companions that have been loyal till their last breath.
It's inspired by a true occurrence in Japan.
Yes, it's a Richard Gere film, ignore that part.
It was a lovely Film, but, I highly recommend kleenex (I may have had a knot, but at the time, the person next to me was a blubbering mess when the credits rolled..)

[Kobi]

The Love Letter


Kate Capshaw, Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Selleck, Blythe Danner

Ok, it is from 1999 but it is one of my must see once a year movies. Plus, I think Kate Capshaw and Blythe Danner are two very incredible women.

Is a romantic comedy revolving around trying to find out who wrote a love letter and who was the intended receipient. The truth is a surprise and the journey to it, is very cute.

Based on the novel by Cathleen Schine.

[WomenMoveMe]

Some time ago, perhaps six or seven years, I watched a French film about a man and a woman who would meet up weekly at a hotel to indulge their sexual appetites. I know this sounds like pretty much most French foreign films. However, these two shared an interest in sexual behaviors that were alluded to be out of the norm, and of which is never known to the viewer.

They found one another through some sort of fetish newspaper or letter, would meet in a cafe for coffee, head to the hotel, and enter the hotel room. We are never privy to any activity inside the room. We are left at the hotel room door to wonder what it is they share.

They fall in love with one another but never tell each other as each one is certain the other could not possibly feel the same. Eventually the love they feel for one another, and never confess, splits them apart.

If anyone knows of this movie, and can tell me the title of the film, please let me know. I just can't remember and would like to watch it again.

Thanks!

[ButchEire]

New Year's Eve...Sucky gratuitous ripoff of Love Actually.
Mission Impossible 4...Relies on a lot of special effects to make up for a weak plot.
The Man on the Train...Surprisingly good movie. How can you not like Donald Sutherland?
In Time...Meh.
The Innkeepers...Liked it, despite a lack of major stars.
Our Idiot Brother...not bad.


About to watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

the new Sherlock Holmes...Game of Shadows I think that's the name...

it's definitely a big screen movie and worth the 5 bucks (Sunday is $5.00 movie day at Jack London Square theater)....

Mission Impossible is next Sunday

[ButchKnight]

money ball very very good especially since not much a baseball fan

BK

[SugarFemme]

Blue Valentine with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. It was AWESOME!!. And if I "must" confess....It is the first time in a longgg time that seeing a straight folk sex scene got my blood boiling. But OMFG, there is this one scene....go ahead and watch it, I dare ya!!! Then come back and tell me which scene it is that I am speaking of LMAO

[Rook]

♦ Mooz-lum - After enduring a strict youth within Islam {yep Enduring}, from his Father *whose own interpretation costs him his Marriage*, and a Cruel 'teacher', a young man understandably Bitter towards anything...and anyone..related to his Religion, realizes little by little within his adjustment to College Life & influenced by his sister and awkward friendships, that there's more to it than he thought shortly after the tragic event of 9-11, when those of his Faith are attacked with hate.

Impressive Film, with actors Evan Ross (ATL, Life Support etc.. son of Diana Ross),
Nia Long (Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Are we There Yet, If these Walls Could Talk 2 etc..) ,
Danny Glover ( Lethal Weapon, Color Purple, Beloved, etc..)...

[Random]

We just watched Colombiana and Loved it... Had to watch the belt fight scene twice...

"Blue"

with gorgeous brunette Juliette Binoche 1993
directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski who also
made "Red", and "White"

"Blue" is intense tragedy, grief,
rebirth(or something like it)...
more like rebuilding a shattered life.

Its in French, with English subtitles.

Great acting, and the music is exquisite

KF2 was adorable, as expected and a full cast of truly funny people.

C&A was pretty much what we expected. A decent shoot 'em up. There were a couple of really good, surprising moments but it's pretty formulaic.

[Rook]

Fright Night (2011):
txgGhyjPZGg
Was a 'fan' of the original from the 80's, figured maybe they'd soup stuff up, update maybe add some substance to the premise.
That, and David Tennant's in it (10th Dr. Who), as Vincent Price..
Btw, he was better than Colin Farrell, who seemed to do better acting when he was quiet and munching apples while the girlies drooled.
The "monster vampire" part was almost identical to the Original, I did like the background change on where the guy comes from though.
I'm not gonna rush out to buy this one, but, it's better than watching emo sparklies....

The Last Station
2woUBZLxa4o
One of those Films I just bump into out of curiosity, at 7 AM....Nuthin else to do or watch.
The more I watched, the more it piqued my curiosity, after all it's about Tolstoy...
Right? -smirk-
I felt terrible for the Countess at times...And at times for Tolstoy himself...

The Debt

Not even Helen Mirren could hold my attention. Next!

[Kobi]

Fright Night

Ok I loved the original and should know better than to watch remakes. The original had the neighbor as an everyday, well dressed, cute, charming, unsuspecting guy. Thus it made it all the more believeable and interesting when the neighbor kid tried to make him out to be something else.

This remake had more just plain weirdo characters and was more reminescent of The Lost Boys. And innuendo rather than nightmare inducing gore goes a long way with me.

Very disappointing.

[Gemme]

f6koiuwTqbk&feature=fvst

Okay, it's a very young chick flick and I admit it; I kinda liked it. It was wholesome, even though it's not really different than any other movie like it.

[Kobi]

Beautiful Boy

Mario Bello and Mark Sheen

Couple on the verge of divorce is thrown back together, struggling to cope after their son goes on a murder-suicide rampage at college. Big on drama. Lacking in substance to me.

[Gentle Tiger]

Ip Man2

Sappy Saturday...

Just Like Heaven: Cute movie, love it and yeah, it's a chick flick.
Gamer: If you love tech, you will LOVE Gamer and it's soundtrack.
Role Models: Fun movie, no thought necessary.

[Martina]

Moneyball. It was OK. Hard to be all rah rah about data and statistics though i really liked the sidekick character. i was sad to learn that he was a composite of several people and not one real person. Jonah Hill, who played him, is a good actor. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is kinda wasted in the film. Brad Pitt is good although i was distracted by some weird hair moments. If you can't make Brad Pitt look good, you need to reconsider your line of work.

[Kobi]

Our Idiot Brother

Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer - all of whom are known as who is that?

Hippy type brother with an uncomplicated approach to everything gets thrown off his organic farm and moves to the city to spend time with each of his sisters whose lives are filled with deceitful drama.

On my scale, this one ranked right up there with a trip to the dentist.

Curious....do you like ANY of the movies you watch? Ever?

Wow this is quite rude. Is someone having a bad day? Have gotten a bunch of movies that havent been to my liking as of late. If you are so curious, flip back thru all the posts and you will find some I did like a lot. There are some just a few pages back.

[ButchEire]

At the risk of getting in between you two in this, I am compelled to respond. Initially, my reaction was to agree with Gemme, but looking back, Kobi is right. In addition, and in all honesty, the movies recently have (IMO) been largely crap. Friends who see the movies I do, tend to agree and we haven't seen a movie that knocks it out of the park in a very long time. So, Kobi isn't negative, but the movies have been lacking and it's hard to be positive. This is why i've been backtracking to movies from the past that ARE decent, just to fulfill my need for good cinema.

"I am Number Four"
It wasn't a bad movie, it took a little bit to get to the plot, had a slow start but once it got there it held my attention, Kinda wished it ended differently though, Would have been nice to know if they found the "others" lol.

The Tree

Charlotte Gainsbourg

A young family in the Australian Outback struggles to move on after the father dies. He, I presume, had a heart attack while driving and ended up hitting this tree.

The tree is an integal part the movie as they progress through the grieving and healing process. The symbolism is quite well done.

And the scenery is awesome.

[Soon]

~review found on XOJane~:

We went to see "Pariah" recently and I was reminded that my mother (black, female and gay) is a triple threat when it comes to oppression. That statement is not meant to be cute. It's a fucking fact. And it scares the shit out of me.

Written and directed by Dee Rees, Pariah is the quietly loud tale of a young black girl from Brooklyn struggling with all the normal identity crises of adolescence. But with the added bonus of being a brown girl who likes other brown girls.

Sixteen-year-old Alike (Ah-LEE-kay) is played with the perfect blend of confusion and confidence by 33-year old Adepero Oduye. Kim Wayans (yes THAT Kim Wayans) plays Alike's selectively blind mother, Audrey, who makes it her mission to equal parts ignore her daughter's sexuality and highlight it for fixing.

The movie is beyond good and it sky rockets beyond LGBTQ issues or black issues or female issues. It's a story about finding yourself. It's about filterring out all the cloudy muck of expectation to a clear glass of water that reflects you, just you. But once all that painfully important work is done there are some who'd still have you swallow poison. The poison of being someone you are not.

Actually, I'm having a lovely day. Thank you for asking. Hopefully, you're having a lovely day as well.

I was asking about the reviews you provided just from this last page because that's what struck me. I don't know, maybe I'm a more positive person in general, but I can usually find something that's not horrible about a movie, even if it's only the font of the rolling credits.

I suppose it was just the strong negativity I was responding to, that's all.

Can't give away much more w/o Spoiling the constant Twists and Turns in this edge of your Seat Thriller...
It also has Frank Langella playing a part with a Deeper twist in the Plot

Contraband with Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale. Action packed thriller - good movie if you like the genre.

I watched "Fagbug". It's a documentary about a lesbian whos VW Bug was vandalized and the word fag was spray painted on it. She refused to remove it, and drove it across country to promote awareness. It was ok. My wii decided to crap out towords the end, so I didn't finish it.

Two Women (1960)...Italian...starring a young and stunning Sophia Loren

Cesira (Loren) and her 13-year-old daughter, Rosetta, flee from the allied bombs in Rome during the second world war. They travel to the village where Cesira was born. During their journey and in the village, the mother does everything to protect Rosetta. However, on one occasion they both get raped by soldiers while hiding in a church. This cruel event is too much for the always powerful and tenacious Cesira. She suffers from a breakdown. They get to her childhood village where, a young intellectual, falls in love with Cesira. She struggles to accept and reply to the advances of such a gentleman.

Excellent movie!

Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It got terrible reviews, but i kinda liked it. i like Tom Hanks and can tolerate Julia. i liked the the supporting cast a lot. George Takei is extremely weird though. He was supposed to be, but still. . .

The American with George Clooney -- it was like a passable foreign film from the seventies. i can't figure out why anyone would make it now. The ethical issues were trumped up and undeveloped. The romance had no spark, and all of the action lacked motivation. i don't mind a slowly paced film, but there has to be some kind of pay off. Afterwards, i read a review, and they called it a deconstructed action film, whatever that means. Whatever the director was trying to do went right over my head.

One Day

Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess

Sweet but also sad love story chronicling the lives of a working class woman and a wealthy man from when they met in college to when they reunite later on. Spewed my coffee when, at one point, Hathaway called her new look "butch". Love watching Hathaway movies.

[ArkansasPiscesGrrl]

Contraband with Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale. Action packed thriller - good movie if you like the genre.



Thanks for this review. I will be hitting this one tonite with a new date.

Thanks for this review. I will be hitting this one tonite with a new date.

It was a lot of fun. Plenty of chances for me to grab her hand, her leg, her arm. (I tend to get "involved" in a movie... I am right THERE in the action!) I also got teased a lot for all of that, but all in a good way.

[Hack]

Moneyball. Loved it. But I am a major baseball geek, so how could I not? :)

[Kätzchen]

Curious....do you like ANY of the movies you watch? Ever?

I know you asked Kobi this question but for me, ever since a class I took in graduate studies pertaining to Films, Culture & Society, my experience with watching films has sort of been ... tampered with. *lol*

ps/ last night I watched "Titanic" on DVD (on my notebook). Love that movie and other James Cameron movies! :) Gotta love the story about Jack & Rose...

[ButchEire]

Retro-ing again, since the new movies are nonexistent or crap.

Kate and Leopold: Don't hate, it's a fun movie!
Field of Dreams: Still a classic
P.S. I Love You: Love this movie!
Easy A: Very surprisingly well done.

[Kobi]

I loved Moneyball.

Friends with Benefits - what a sweet story. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis had perfect chemistry. Kunis without Timberlake would have been good too. :) Woody Harrelson as the gay guy was very cute in a weird sort of way.

4th and Goal - documentary following 6 college football players quests to make the NFL. Did you know every year there are 60,000 junior college/college football players? Of those, less than 1,700 have a chance to make the pros. Of those, only a handful will succeed.

Spetters~1980 film by Paul Verhoeven

http://cdn-3.nflximg.com/en_us/boxshots/gsd/60030313.jpg


Rien, Eef and Hans, three young, working-class guys stuck in an industrial town on the outskirts of Rotterdam, have little in common save for one thing: their shared passion for motorcycle racing. But a deeper passion will soon rule their lives. The boys are completely blindsided when the sexy, ambitious Fientje comes between them and turns their world upside down. Paul Verhoeven directs this Dutch coming-of-age drama.

[Rook]

Colombiana:

After a Hit on her Parents leaves a girl orphan, she follows her Fathers strict instruction and makes her way to the U.S. with her Uncle, who in turn educates her and trains her as an incredibly Skilled Hitwoman.
However, her uncle continuously attempts to quash her thirst for revenge, warning her that her actions affect more than herself, but rather everyone near her.
I liked it, a decent amount of Action, with some Plot that made sense...Not just "U killed my papa, prepare to meet your Doom!!! -boom boom, crash, KABOOOM-"
That, and the eyecandy was pleasant....

[SugarFemme]

Moneyball~Please don't shoot me for not liking this movie LOL. I had a really hard time getting into it. Please keep in mind that I enjoy foreign films and art house films the most, so this really was not my genre.

What an incredible film. It is so complex in its' simplicity. It was a very "quiet" film. Even when there was confrontation, it felt safe for some reason. It is not the the kind of film that most will relate to or possibly enjoy as there is no action, no big love scenes or a lot of excitement. It was really a man giving everything he had to a woman who had nothing to give in return and how this was finally reconciled.

Conan the Barbarian. I watched it all. Not my favorite movie by any means, or even something I would generally be interested in, but I gave it a chance because I love Jason Momoa from watching SG Atlantis. I almost didn't recognize him in this movie because he looked like this:

AMAZING story here.

[WomenMoveMe]

Wow...this movie made me all weepy about 20 different times. It is a Chinese film made in 2010. It tells the story of how a family was torn apart and rebuilt after death, loss, decision, and fate, in the aftermath of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in which 240,000 lost their lives.

It more or less begins when a mother, who has already lost her husband to the earthquake, must decide which of her children is to live. The two children are trapped under a concrete slab at opposite ends. Moving the slab to save one, will crush the other. Both children are alive and can hear the rescuers pressuring the mother to make the decision. She must make the decision quickly or lose them both. The mother is anguished as she whispers, save my son. The daughter hears the mother make this decision and her silent tears were to cause the first of my many crying jags throughout this movie.

The daughter is taken from the rubble and laid beside her dead father. The mother and the son head off to rescue camps. It begins to rain heavily and the rain awakens the daughter, who obviously was not as dead as they thought.

I will not tell you more as I hope some of you will actually give this movie a look.

I loved loved loved this movie!!!

I saw "Hugo" this evening at the cinema.

Its a lovely film with a stellar cast, great writing, stunning cinematography and production design.

I would have preferred it not be in 3D (why gild the lily?)

[Rook]

Volver

I'd call it a Dramedy

Penélope Cruz plays a very independent and hard working woman dealing with a neurotic sister, a daughter smack in the middle of puberty among other issues.
After the much understood Murder of her srsly creepy asshole of a Husband, she tries to find a way to conceal any trace of evidence leading to the truth or the fact alone of his death, while her own aunts death puts a dent in a few plans already forged..
Her closest friend & neighbor, a medical marijuana user (diagnosed with Terminal Cancer) tries uncovering a personal mystery that bind them all together from events that happened long ago involving Raimunda's mother, (which is where everything leads to in the Film) she returns from the Dead in the process, for reasons u'd have to figure for yourself while watching....
It's got a serious plot revolving around Death with humor to soften the edges..

Caveat - If you don't foreign films with Subs, skip this.
It's better in original language, Spanish {Spain}.

Bonus: Cruz lip-syncs' a Flamenco rather well....The only part that's "musical" thankfully.

Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz have made quite a few films together as Producer/Actor combo that are amazing...
Those 2 would be, for me , like... Tim Burton & Johnny Depp.
w/o the "Camp"....

[SugarFemme]

Hey Rookie:) I have seen ALL of Almodovars films and I have loved each and every one of them. The two that have special places in my heart as they were the first two that I had seen are, "Tie me up! Tie me down!" and, "Matador". I just LOVED the metaphorical bullfight between the leads in, "Matador".

Yeah... I cried.... a lot. This one really got to me.

[Sparkle]

Oooooo two of my favorite films right in a row!

I LOVE Almodovar! 'Volver' is one of my favorite's of his.
An older Almodovar that I really loved is 'Dark Habits', very twisted dark humour (and as a former Catholic I liked it especially a lot, nothing like a naughty nun story) :)

'Farewell My Concubine' is visually stunning, if you loved that ScandalAndy try 'Raise the Red Lantern' another knock your socks off visually lush film.

About a weekend or two ago I saw the movie Jack and Jill, starring Adam Sandler. OMG thats a hilarious movie, but heartwarming and cute at the same time :)

[lettertodaddy]

I saw Haywire over the weekend. It wasn't that great. I had trouble with the fight scenes. Yes, I know Gina Carano is an MMA fighter/Muy Thai boxer, and I know she can hold her own against any man, but I'm still not used to seeing men beat up women in movies. Yes she bested all of her opponents, but it still made me a little uneasy.

It did make me want to go to the gym in a big bad way, though. Her body and the things she can do with it is astounding.

I would also recommend Ju Dou, by the same director. Gong Li is one of the most beautiful women in the world, I think.

Another great Chinese film I always recommend is Not One Less. A beautiful little film.

Isn't he the same guy that played the Khan in "Game of Thrones"? He sure looks like him. And the muscles in the movie picture are in line with what he looked like in the TV series. He has awfully nice tri-ceps.

[foxyshaman]

I saw "Underworld - The Awakening" in 3D. It was "meh". But they have certainly left it as a sequal producing movie. At the end I was like "that's it. I finally figured out the plot and you end it?" If this one flops chances are we will never see the next one. But Kate... she can still kick ass. Contented sigh.

I saw "A Dangerous Method" last night. I enjoyed the film. Keira Knightley did a very good job. I loved, loved, loved the set designers amazing attention to detail for the "Frued office set". I wished I could have paused the movie just to see what nic a nack and bric a brak was in there.

[Venus007]

I saw "The Artist" today. What an amazing film. It is a black and white silent film that is a love story set during the transition between silent films and talkies. It was visually mesmerizing, emotionally satisfying and just a deep pleasure. The film quotes many famous films and is the perfect antidote to all the mindless schlock being passed off for movies. Check it out, it is pure cinema pleasure. Oh, I almost forgot it has an amazing little dog named Uggie in it that nearly steals the show.

[SoulShineFemme]

I watched Contagion, The Help and Abduction with ONLY this weekend.

The Help was fantastic!!
I enjoyed Abduction too for the adrenaline factor but I couldn't really get into Contagion. It just felt really dark and unhappy to me.

[ButchEire]

I just watched that last night as well. Interesting film and definitely engages you without a single word.
I also watched The Decendants, also interesting albeit sad. It definitely provokes emotions.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

actually they were pretty true to the book except for the end when Lisbeth bought him the leather jacket and went to his house to give it to him and she saw him with his main squeeze and tossed the jacket in the dumpster............that was not in the book and cheapens lisbeth into some hollywood romance.......

Me and a friend went to the cheap theatres to see the movie New Year's Eve with an all star cast including actors like Jon Bon Jovi, Kathrine Heigl, Hilary Swank, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zach Efron, Robert De Niro, Alyssa Milano, Seth Myers and many more. The basic jist of the movie is following the lives of singles and couples whose lives intertwine over the day of New Year's Eve.

I'm a hopeless romantic and this movie was the perfect one to see with your sweetheart, but I went with a good friend and we both laughed alot plus I cried a little too (especially the part where De Niro plays a man dying from cancer, been through that with both of my grandparents) so its definately a movie I think is worth seeing :)

[Rook]

50/50:

I was told it's realistic and humorous, so I grabbed it based on the premise....
An awkward young man is diagnosed with Cancer, his rather obnoxious {and i'm being nice} BFF turns out to be better company in a teenage crass boy way than most in his life.
I identified with a Lot of what he felt and went through in the process of Treatment/surgery, from feeling Alone, frustrated, dealing with it the best way possible, down to decisively dealing with "False Nice"...
There's humor, and drama...
There's moments where u really wanna smack someone a few times and shout 'fuck off'......
The car scene when his BFF is skunk-ass drunk rang a seriously familiar bell -cough-
And his insensitive c*nt of a g/f also....
Had the n00b shrink been assigned to me, I would've walked out...

Its based on the screenwriters experiences as a Cancer patient, Seth Rogen's actually his friend off-screen......
So...
Damn...
I liked it. :glasses:

[SugarFemme]

The kid and I saw it together. Gawd we loved it. I hate to admit it, it even made me cry in the more touching moments.

[Licious]

"Key Largo"

[Rook]

One Night with the King:
Loved it..I thought it was well-done, impressive cinematography w/o being Excessive where it counts...
It's the recounting of Esther, Queen of Persia, how she became Queen, and the events following that detail how she saves her People from Genocide{Persian Jews}.
I kinda tried to ignore the fact that Xerxes in this film slightly resembled a 'radical faerie', often....other than that, I was very much drawn into the Plot..
♦With Luke Goss as King Xerxes {Hellboy 2, Blade 2..}

Curse of the Golden Flower:
A very vivid, visually "busy" Film about Love, strange Lust & Betrayel, all within the Forbidden City...
I'd have to compare it to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as far as the Action scenes...and there's plenty...
I think I liked it more because of the Details, rituals, costumes and because I have a morbid delight in following at least 3 different Plots unfolding at once {It satiates the A.D.D in me}..
Not for those who easily get lost, nor those who detest Subtitles {since the Dubbed version seriously reminded me of an early Bruce Lee film...If I see caption and the caption ends, and their lips keep going on and on and on, it gets slightly annoying.}
The primary Actors are good, as usual (their listed Movies here are Faves that I have or want to buy)
♦With Chow Yun Fat {Bulletproof Monk, Anna & The King , etc...}
Li Gong {Farewell My Concubine, Hannibal Rising, Memoirs of a Geisha, Raise the Red Lantern..etc..}

I saw 'The Descendants' this past weekend; Alexander Payne's film, featuring George Clooney.

It was a really wonderful, tender, funny, quiet film. The screenplay is excellent, and the acting is really great (Clooney deserves his Oscar nod and the three young actors are great as well).

I'd recommend it.

Albert Nobbs

...loved the period and aesthetics of this film, an it generated much conversation about each character's tragedy. I had mixed feelings on the plot overall.

[JustJo]

Rooster and I went to see the second Ghost Rider movie today....really not worth seeing. There were way too many discrepancies between the first and the second movies....just really lacking the appeal of the first one.

[DapperButch]

TF found it to be a snooze fest. I enjoyed the fact that it was "different", but did not enjoy the storyline, itself. Our one friend enjoyed it (but she is one of those people who likes everything). Our other friend spent the whole time sighing and trying to talk us into slipping into a different theater showing another movie (which she had already seen, the poor thing was so desperate).

[ruffryder]

If You haven't seen Twilight's Breaking Dawn. It's available to buy tonight!!

I did buy it but haven't watched it yet. Just saw it at the theatre.
Tonight I watched The Last Airbender 3 D

[sanee66]

Super 8....little unbelievable at the very beginning, but overall it was okay

Cowboys and Aliens...not quite what i expected but thought it was good

watched them both with my boy tonight *s*

[Trey339]

was called 'home room' with busy phillips and was unexpectedly great,,,

[Alurra]

Just went to see Ghost Rider in 3-D XD. The movie itself was kind of a one trick pony. (Spoiler alert: Lots of stuff gets incinerated!) But I love the 3D. It is just so much more entertaining to me. I had never spent the $15.50 per ticket (!) to see that before. But it was fun, if ya like your action movies LOUD and LARGE. Some of the previews actually showed off the 3-D XD experience to better advantage because because they had more variety in the special effects, like Spiderman and John Carter.

I saw "This Means War" with Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, and Tom Hardy, it was a chocolate covered marshmallow with pop rocks- it was fluffy, cute and had a few explosions. Not quite the pure Godiva confection of "The Devil Wears Prada" (the most perfect fluff movie) but it had redeeming qualities and for a rainy Saturday it was lovely.
Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are very easy on the eyes and they have great chemistry together, I wish they would have made them a couple and got rid of the girl entirely, ces las vous. The real gem of the movie is Chelsea Handler, best friend of our heroine. Chelsea absolutely steals the show, so funny. So if your looking for fluff and fun this is absolutely for you, if you want depth and meaning, move on down the cineplex.

Drive with Ryan Gosling, Carry Mulligan.

Excellent action movie! It is about a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a "wheel man" and finds out a contract has been put out on him after a heist goes wrong.

Really liked it!

Also watched Toy Story 3. I dare you to have dry eyes when Andy goes off to college and gives the little girl his box of favorite toys. Made me boo hoo, that is for sure!

[Gemme]

A stupid movie called Dead Cool, about a 32 year old father of two boys who dies and how his family copes afterward. He also comes back to talk to one of his sons. Rosanna Arquette is in it.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but I LOVE Shakespeare, so I figured I would enjoy it. I had a couple of moments that absolutely rocked me. The violence is really graphic and it's set in a contemporary war zone, so if you're military/have loved ones in the service this might be a bit triggery. Overall, though, I absolutely freaking LOVED it. Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler are BRILLIANT, and they rocked the hell out of the homosexual undertones. I recommend the hell out of this is you're a Shakespeare fan.

[LaneyDoll]

Friday night, I saw "The Artist." Pretty good. I am glad I saw it at the theater since any other "venue" would have probably made it too easy to turn it off during the slow scenes.

Saturday, "The Woman in Black." My son & I see scary movies together. BUT, he bailed on me and stayed with his grandmother that night so I had to face the dark alone. :(

lol

Woman in Black

Just remember, if you go to see this movie, that it is PG13. I thought it was okay for the most part and had a few good "jump" moments. Given the rating I think the "pysch" factor was a tad to tame for my likes.

Overall it was fun :)

Thank you for the review! IMO, you just couldn't go wrong with the two of them in one film.

The Secret Life of Bees


WOW.

[justkim]

I thought it was a pretty good movie. I had a really hard time with the racial slurs, but I get that that is how it was and for some still is...


The Secret Life of Bees


WOW.

[Jess]

HUGO...

Visually stunning combination of real life and cgi.... Great story about hopes, dreams, magic and faith through the experiences of a young french orphan.

[smouldering]

It was cute, funny but also had a little life lesson squeezed into all those talking animals :)

[spike]

Safehouse...Denzel Washington doing his usual incredible job in film...

[Hack]

I finally saw The Artist yesterday. What a great movie! I know silent films aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I happen to love silent films, so it greatly appealed to me. The story is easy to follow and the acting was great. I loved the bit that Peppy did with George's coat in his dressing room. It was so darling. :)

[foxyshaman]

Moneyball. Not a Brad Pitt fan, but he was fabulous in this movie. Jonah Hill was just astounding. Great movie.

[genghisfawn]

Puccini For Beginners (2006) with Elizabeth Reaser, Gretchen Mol and Justin Kirk

I was drawn in by the idea of opera-loving lesbians, because I'm an opera-loving queerbait and I love opera-loving lesbians, and it seemed fluffy and pithy.

I hated Allegra, the protagonist. She reminded me of myself at 21. It annoyed me. Grace reminded me of myself... rather, who I'd want to be if I wasn't afraid to be. Philip... ugh, his hair. Show me a butch with his hair and I'll marry hym.

I don't know what more to say without spoiling it. If you don't mind rolling your eyes a little over dialogue that tries far too hard to be intellectual, and laughing at very neurotic people, you're either a Frasier fan and you'd love it or you're not a Frasier fan and it's still worth enjoying.

[Melissa]

I just saw Columbiana and liked it. I wasn't sure if I would but it had a strong story line and kept my interest. I also watched Boondock Saints which was also pretty interesting but seems to be a knock off of Pulp Fiction

[dixie]

I'm actually watching this again, while doing exams tonight...lol

Last night I went to a screening of "MissRepresentation" at the LGBT community center here. For those who are unfamiliar with it, it's a documentary about women's representation in the media. I think it's really important and I would urge everyone to see it, if possible.

"In Time"

Didn't expect a masterpiece with this film, but was still a a bit disappointed. Interesting premise, but poorly executed. Justin Timberlake is overrated as an actor. Amanda Seyfreid is interesting to look at and her character rocked that kick-ass bob. Other than that, I was left bored. :|

Next!

The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew Mcconaughy..

Interesting to say the least, found it browsing on netflix...

[Sparkle]

I saw 'The Help' and 'Midnight in Paris' this weekend past on DVD.

'The Help' was wonderful and heart warming, I didn't feel I missed much not having read the book. The cast was truly fantastic, the oscars and oscar nods were well earned.

like HowSoonIsNow - I was a bit trepidatious about Woody Allen's latest film (because I've found his more recent films to be hit or miss)...but I'm so glad I saw it - 'Midnight in Paris' is incredibly charming and clever, especially if you're a fan of early 20th century art, literature & the cultural history of American expatriates in the roaring 20s.

[Hack]

I'm seeing Casablanca tonight on the big screen for the first time. I have seen it countless times on DVD, but never in a theater. :)

[kittygrrl]

I have mixed feelings about this movie. The plot was your typical afteradisasterthegovernmentgetsstupid kind-of-plot and it held my attention..until the end which was very anti-climatic and you can tell they want/will do a sequel. Very good teen movie but it could have used a lot more..better dialogue, character development, suspense, etc. But overall on a scale of 1-10 i'd give it a solid 5.

[Ciaran]

I saw The Shore this weekend. The Shore won the Oscar for life-action short film at last month's awards. What makes it absolutely beautiful to watch is the cinematography and fantastic acting by Ciarán Hinds:

[LaneyDoll]

Yes, I was one of the ones who helped this movie surpass all of the "Twilight" openings. And, I enjoyed the movie.

But, the shaky camera motion is something I abhor in a movie. It makes me motion sick and I leave the theater (every time) with a massive, nauseated headache.

So, I decided to find out a bit about the reason it was shot this way...

Director Gary Ross talked about The Hunger Games in a recent interview with Vulture.

Vulture - "Let’s talk about the look of this movie. You employed a lot of shaky handheld, and there aren’t a lot of wide shots. How did you come up with that approach?"

Gary Ross - "Well, I mean, I tried to do what the book did."

Well alright then! THAT explains everything.

So, to anyone who plans to go see it-if you are like me, easily sickened by shaky camera action (think "The Blair Witch Project" or "Paranormal Activity" you may want to wait this one until the DVD comes out. If you are watching it at home, you can press pause and come back to it. Personally, I did not want to miss any of the movie so I stuck it out.

a documentary called

it's the spinal tap of arcade gamers

i laughed so hard it hurt - then i felt a little bad for laughing so hard because it's not a mockumentary - but then mr. awesome appeared and the bad feelings went right out the window

[Jess]

Watched a two part series/ drama on Netflix called The Painted Lady. It is a Brit film with one of my fav actresses, Helen Mirrin. Well made, intriguing mystery and the songs performed by Jenny Darren are wonderful soulful jazz numbers. I may have to buy the soundtrack. It is download only.

[ruffryder]

Hunger Games anyone? Think i'm catching it tomorrow!

[SelfMadeMan]

We went to the midnight release of The Hunger Games last week.... it was ok, but I wasn't blown away. And the whole kids killing kids thing kinda bothered me.
