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

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

Blue
"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 Greco |
Arthur- The new one with Russel Brand, hmm interesting really..
|
We saw Kung Fu Panda 2 and Cowboys and Aliens today.
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. |
Fright Night (2011):
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 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... "See" What I'm Saying The World from a few Deaf Artists point of view, and then some.... :sunglass: |

it's better than watching emo sparklies OMG I laughed out loud and spit water... emo sparklies... I am so remembering that... Thanks Rook!!! |
Rubber.
It's probably one of the weirdest things I've ever watched. I haven't decided if I love it or hate it. |
Lunopolis I usually like weird movies. Didnt care for this one. Acting was atrocious. The Debt Not even Helen Mirren could hold my attention. Next! |
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. |
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. |
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. |
Skin - excellent but hard to watch. A lot to process. Powerful woman.
Ip Man2 |
Sappy Saturday...
...well, and i'm putting together my home theater. 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. |
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.

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. |

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. |
I thought some of you may be interested in this film, *Pariah*--not sure where it is playing around me, yet.
~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. http://www.xojane.com/entertainment/...riah-right-now |

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. |

I'm not sure why, but I have a fondness for this movie. I've seen it twice, when it was first available On Demand. I enjoyed it, even though it wasn't a "great" movie.

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.

Apollo 18.... Don't bother unless you are a fan of unbelievable movies shot with a video cam... :cigar2: |
Last movie...
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! |
I have been waiting a while for Colombiana to come to video, since they played the trailer on youtube. Worth the wait, little predictable, but I would recommend.
Now back to reading the list to see if anything else catches my attention, thank you for all your postings :cherry: |
J. Edgar... Excellent performance by Leonardo DiCaprio... Interesting that he does not realize his sexuality until after he hurts the one who has loved him for years..... :cigar2: |
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. |
