Don't let the title fool you
Holy Rollers

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.

Art!!
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.

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. |
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. Quote:

The Yellow Handkerchief
Great and diverse cast. Nice little indie film. Good character study. It kind of just creeps up on you.

'Ponette' - French - 1996
Sweet and heartbreaking.
After her mother dies in a car accident, a physically and emotionally scarred four year old must come to terms with her loss. |
Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson
I had a hard time really concentrating on the movie, it wasn't bad and had a few intense moments just wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

Watched "The King's Speech" this weekend. Really enjoyed it :)
|
ok now I am having a menopausal moment.....I was gonna say what movie I just saw...........it was LONG.....2hrs 35 minutes.....dammitttalltohell......... the name of the movie was....I read the damn book............
YES 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....... |

Old Classic
we just watched the Great Outdoors with John Candy, I LOVE this movie.
Earlier i watched Nowhere in Africa, a foreign film about of course WW2, if you like subtitles and Nerflix, i recommend it! |
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 :) |
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: |
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.

A Dangerous Method
and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close |
The Muppets
This was such a sweet and happy film. I don't remember the last time I left a movie theater feeling like I did today. I cried when they sang, "The Rainbow Connection". It is nice to nurture your inner child every now and then:)

My niece invited me and 4 others to a free screening of "This Means War"
I don't know how she gets those, but with the cost of $12 to go to the movies, free is great! I might go more often. |
"Key Largo"
|
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..} |
Albert Nobbs
We just saw Albery Nobbs with Glenn Close. Great movie, definitely worth seeing.
|
Dolphin Tales.....it is an incredible movie about a real dolphin's traumatic injury to het tail, and her recovery and rehab....worth watching BUT will make you cry some..:(.
|
i loved one night with the king! not sure why...on a technical level i felt like it was kind of overdone/cheesy in parts. but i just fell in love with the story. same with the indian film jodhaa akbar...the royal love story. i could watch them both over and over and over again :)
the last movie i watched was boys don't cry. i started mao's last dancer a few days ago but haven't finished it yet. |
2046....a total stumbled onto it on ifc today. Japanese subtitles. As soon as it was over? I wanted to see it again. A good movie...(not an escape film which I highly value as well) passes thru me and I am changed..... at least for a day.

"La Boheme" - Giacomo Puccini (Anna Natrebko and Rolando Villazon) - 2008
If there was ever a way to create a cinematographic opera for a popular audience, this is it... and I loved it. The whole thing is here (believe it or not): |
|

Din't watch in theater..I am watching it now on OWN channel..but worth mentioning..what a classic!

Misfits of Science (1985)
The original movie, not the tv series, it's taken me years to find it again, I used to rent it from the video store (back when they also had betamax so it shows it's age) I'd forgotten just how political a lot of movies were, and back when I was a kid, I never saw it! |
We watched
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" I was like :| the whole time... |
WATCHING NOW...SMILES
