Last Movie you Watched and Rate It

[Thread]

this is a damn good book. I saw the movie when it came out. Then read a book called "City of Thieves" by David Benioff which is outstanding. Then read 25th hour. Been wondering when he was going to write another novel and then saw he's one of the people adapting Game of Thrones for HBO.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Every time you think Monty has an angle Lee cuts it off. [Do your 7 years come back out and ply the trade again...this time make your boodle and get out BEFORE they crack you.] No. As he laments to Pepper:::"I get busted again, I'm gone for good."

Though I am still a little confused that he doesn't have any money. I suppose he had it all in the couch with the dope, or, was that just Uncle Nicolai's money, the Feds seized and/or the Feds put a lien on Monty's bank account? Because he tells Pepper that he was ready to get out and put his money with Pepper in the market, but, wanted to "Take a little more out for myself. I got greedy."

lol why did you watch that? It looks like a shitty rip off of The Day After Tomorrow.

I was bored earlier and I knew every Final Destination after the first one was complete ass, but I turned it on Final Destination 5 just for the hell of it. So much bads in one movie. Death scenes were corny yet funny.

Yup..what's also shitty about the movie is compared to something like Twister, it's complete ass..it's also funny because they make it out to be in OKC..real tornadoes are nothing like that..

Even the original while a fine production is hilarious in parts. When the woman teacher gets it in her house one can't resist laughing aloud. Just give it up already, lady.

And installing John Denver's howling for 90 minutes is a hoot.

But, the kid who drives the movie, the hot head with the hot girlfriend, he's good. He's lit from start to finish, couldn't get him to calm down with a sledge hammer.

I've always liked Denver's work. Country Roads still holds up. Also Rhinestone Cowboy and Jolene. Agree on Helen Hunt. Have you seen her lately? Hagsville. I've hated her since that after school special where she took PCP and then jumped out the school window. Maybe that's on YouTube. Hated her in that sitcom with Richard Lewis too.

The original "Karate Kid" was on over the weekend/AMC. It never grows old and aside from the reference to Japanese internment there toward the end it is an American masterpiece.

I marvel at the restraint and freedom the production team took in creating the children of the Cobra Kai. They're each painted with a slightly different brush and it is fascinating. "Johnny"---he's on the edge and can't quite decide where to go. Even at the end, whereas "Dutch" will not even acknowledge "Daniel" as anything but a cross hair in his "rifle sight," Johnny bow's to him, near imperceptibly even at the last.

This film delves heavily into class structure, California style. It seethes with it throughout the running time, from the East coast row houses to the land of milk and honey, fouled apartment complex pools and sparkling beaches of the California dream. Then into the classroom, to school grounds, to country clubs and sporting venues. And it does so without pounding us over the head with it. We just see it. And that's enough.

You forgot that it is quite possibly the greatest revenge flick of all time. Daniel blows through the best Cobra Kai had to offer and takes the chick that left Johnny. You can't win much more convincingly than that.

A modern classic. The chemistry between Daniel and Miyagi is truly special and one for the ages. One thing I miss from older movies is the slow pace in the beginning that allows you to become attached and emotionally involved with the main character. By the time you reach the climax, you are Laruso. You feel the punches and the absolute triumph of victory. :cry

So many great moments in this flick...like the slow back out of the cobra kai gym, Daniel talking to his mom at work while Johnny and friends spot him through the window across the street, the translation part "Thank you"..."welcome"

in real life u will die naturally like everyone else,

but would u want to live immortality in the virtual world where ur mind is hook up to that world, while ur body is frozen and maintain by something in the real world...

i think thats the only way someone can actually live pass 150yrs old...physical body is stored while mind is locked online...

(isnt it the same as being in a deep coma/eternal sleep without the plug being pulled)


ps. if ur into that sort of scifi stuff, watch sword are online 2....the NRA and gun collectors would love that show...its base on guns mmorg world..dont know if its very detail into the guns descriptions and shit...but so far so good cause this clown cleared another game and is allowed to transfer his stats to another game where he has higher stats compared to some new noob leveling his character

[Thread]

A modern classic.

Daniel talking to his mom at work while Johnny and friends spot him through the window across the street

Yes.

Yep, yep...it is a fascinating segment there. And I try to find a production mistake (timing) in it between the actors out and inside, but, it is sheer perfection. His mother turns just late enough to miss the Cobra boys almost maniacally planning there bushwhacking of Daniel. And Daniel, still the child, riding his bike home while the Cobras have been robbed of their childhood, had it hijacked by Kove...they're already on motorcycles. And deep in the assault, they cross the line with murderous intent because in their hearts they're still children. They don't even realize what (could) have happened there because they're children, on an adult motorcycle instead of a child's bike. And they take the motorcycles onto the beach, corrupting the "California dream" and a children's day of running and ball playing and finally an American wiener roast.

The production shows us the difference between school ground and Kove's vulgar commercial establishment where he has corrupted a world wide discipline. At the school Johnny and his friends---Daniel in the same gym, the girl(s) too are shown in preparation for Halloween. Now, not just Daniel, but, they're all at peace, all at play. They're not aware of one another in anger, or, plot. They're lost in their childhood, what the school has afforded them on this day.

In the one part Daniel utilizes an innocent, uncomprehending teacher to help him out. Here Johnny and the boys, even the near psycho "Dutch"---stop---respect the teacher, respect the school and their own internal (stop) signs.

And Daniel is social climbing there. Johnny doesn't know what that term would mean at 16, but, he knows he's taken an horrific loss in his world. And the production doesn't accelerate his knowledge to that of a 30 year old. No, uh, uh, they let Johnny twist on the spit from cocky at the beach, then to a startling softening on the soccer fields at the school. "Hi, Alie."...his tone sincere, a pleading to it...too late, she mocks him, then sprints away without so much as a glance back. Then to the country club where Johnny thinks he has her trapped among the elite of the California dream. He's in his Sunday best, and finally has a physical hold on her. "Can we at least finish the dance?" Now, NOW, now, he demands civility of her. "Would she reconsider?" "How did it get this far?" "How did I fuck this up?" We never get to find out because Daniel comes into his view finder and Johnny steps over the line for the last time.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the transformation that Johnny goes through over the course of the movie. Can you imagine the movie without Johnny finally giving Daniel the recognition he deserves?

I can understand being bored - because the entire movie takes place in one place -


I, however, enjoyed it and thought that there was a lot to read - between the lines. The dead father stuff, the "doing things right at all costs stuff"
among other things. And as overrated as he is becoming and as much as I hate any "flavor of the month actor"

Tom Hardy knocked it out of the park.

(also the fact that Hardy has been pegged to do the new "The Road Warrior" kinda sux for me anyway)

[Thread]

Exactly. The actor deserves great praise for his portrayal of this character. We get to (see) Johnny and this allows us to empathize with him at some juncture along the running time of his pathology. And it's so spot on for a young man of his age. Obviously he comes from an upper crust family, he's in the country club. But, early on we're privy to his oath to make his senior year a good year. He'll be an (ex-degenerate.) He broke up with Alie, dismissed her in the blink of an eye. Then he's reminded of her not first hand, but, by one of his crew. This boy (Bobby?) mocks just a little as he points out below on the beach Alie with Daniel to Johnny. What would have happened had he seen her without one of his gang seeing her? Perhaps he'd a been affected and approached her at another time instead of storming the beach to lay claim to her. Not now though. He's been humiliated and he doesn't forget, nor does rehab himself. No, he commits an assault within minutes of vowing to change his ways. Then commits another criminal act by bringing drugs onto his high school campus.

Johnny is ruled by testosterone fueled by Kove's direction and Alie---always on the edges. He had her, but, it wasn't enough. Now? Well, now there is nothing. Some account that his upbringing instilled in him remains though and tugs at him. At the fence when he is implored to stop he blows thru the stop sign in an incredible display of rage, and for the second time loiters murdering Daniel, this time beating him to death.

So, when he does finally face total failure at the hands of Daniel he rises to his finest moment to this point in his young life. Where he failed Alie, he finds his honor now. Johnny will have to deal with Kove now and KK2 withstanding God only knows how that would have evolved.

Agree. Special effects are underrated. With a good tv and surround sound the the electro fight scenes look sound amazing.

It's also been able to have a different vibe than all the other comic book movies. Think they've done a decent job with this reboot.

[Thread]

My cable provider (Cox) put the Rocky franchise into the free area over the last two weeks. It was HD as well.

Watching Rocky is always a special treat. Each time one finds something new. And I found several things this past weekend. "Jergens" Thayer David finds Rocky in the Spectrum the night before the fight takes place. To Jergens it is and would be just another fight, even less so because Rocky is such a "bum." And Stallone, who's property (Rocky) is treats the sequence as such. Rocky is mesmerized by the tall pictures of the two combatants, but, not enough so to not notice the color of his garb in the cutout. Jergens brushes it off, because he is older, he has seen big fights, been thru it all, absolutely all and he just wants to get the fight over and collect his money as "matchmaker."

Still another part that is sheer brilliance by Stallone= It's late, Adrian has now moved into his apartment and Rocky is having doubts, serious doubts. The noise is over, the promotion is done. Only the fight remains and Rocky knows he can't win. He just wants to survive and has reservations whether he can even do that. He confesses these thoughts and fantasies to Adrian. Now it is here that Stallone steps forward. Instead of Adrian asking what "he" will do. She queries: "What are [we] going to do?" It is distinction that is important as the American male only sees himself. The woman always sees both. This is then proven out at the end of II. when Rocky defeats Creed and proclaims to a home bound Adrian: "[I] did it."

And it is the ballet that Stallone produces in Rocky that is so beautiful. Afterward as once again Jergens goes thru the post fight ritual of a split decision. Instead of Stallone getting lazy and/or rushed and having Jergens state the result off the cuff,,,no,,,we find Jergens holding 3 cards, not 2, or a fuckin' handful, but, the exact requisite 3 (fanned out just enough so we can see that Stallone knew and took care of it, yes for him, but, also for us.) And the reporters being stalked by sound track cameras back & forth as the cards are coming out. It's an incredible piece of film making by an absolute master.

it was cool because we also rented the 2nd planet of the apes and - saw s.f under attack again - and it was amusing to say the least

the bay area has a lot of photogenic spots and if I ever had to adapt a screenplay and make the movie happen my first choice would be the bay area and northern cali in general

also the spurs performance during that time was one for the ages and it all just fell together where it made it probably the best vacation ever for me and my family

I got around to viewing "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" this past week. GD thing is quite enjoyable. It blends of course complete fantasy with the genuine fabric of this country's history. And it's something else to behold. I wish I'd seen it on the big screen though. When it came out I vowed not to go see it (tee, hee). It rushes a bit toward the end, as most movies tend to do, but, I highly recommend it. They play it straight down the line with a straight face and a intensely dramatic, brilliantly eerie space envelops this film.

Lucy 4/10 - Started off interesting enough, but I thought she was gonna kick some ass or take advantage of some cools powers, and it just never materialized. The movie just abruptly ended and then I realized I just wasted an hour and a half of my life.

Merry Friggin' Christmas (jury is out on the score, haven't finished the movie yet) - IIRC, it's Robin Williams last movie. Was decent from the half I saw. Today's comedies usually have me stop watching within the first 10 minutes, so this movie gets credit for keeping me watching half way.)

Annabelle 3/10 - Crap - I gave it 3 points for part where the little girl runs at the camera and morphs into the psycho pre-doll bitch

Elsa and Fred - 0/10 - A movie about an old faggot who decides he wants some pussy at 70 something years old. No thanks.

Boyhood - 7/10 - The movie itself isn't great at anything in particular, but considering the movie took 12 years to film and literally shows the boy grow up in front of your eyes was pretty cool.

St. Vincent - 8/10 - Surprisingly good movie. Subtle jokes and Bill Murray's dry sense of humor meshed well with Melissa McCarthy. The kid did a good job in his role too.

Exactly. There is just something about his delivery, the swagger, it's there in Stripes and Tootsie even. "What About Bob" was the breaking point for me though. That was it. It was on the other nite on a cable channel. I watched just a little to get my blood to boilin'.

John Wick - 8/10

[The Gemini Method]

The last movie I saw w/ticket was Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). It was a marvelous job of acting by Michael Keaton--though, I guess it isn't hard for a washed out actor to play, well, a washed out movie star. However, the direction of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Babel, Bieutiful, Amor Perros) led this movie down a twisty road. Emma Stone and Ed Norton lend great support as this movie rides well for the 2/3rds of the beginning salvo and then kinda stretches for the finish line in the last 3rd. It is intensely sad though as it deals with what we will all face at least once in our lives or more. The time we become irrelevant. I would recommend this movie if you have a little indy spot in your heart. If you do not, then I'd wait til Redbox or Netflix. 8.5/10

[lefty]

Lucy 4/10 - Started off interesting enough, but I thought she was gonna kick some ass or take advantage of some cools powers, and it just never materialized. The movie just abruptly ended and then I realized I just wasted an hour and a half of my life.

Merry Friggin' Christmas (jury is out on the score, haven't finished the movie yet) - IIRC, it's Robin Williams last movie. Was decent from the half I saw. Today's comedies usually have me stop watching within the first 10 minutes, so this movie gets credit for keeping me watching half way.)

Annabelle 3/10 - Crap - I gave it 3 points for part where the little girl runs at the camera and morphs into the psycho pre-doll bitch

No Directv in the bedroom, but my PC is in there, so I usually stream movies from Yify when I go to bed. I'll put the new releases on and give them 20 minutes to spark my interest. Sometimes you get a surprise gem like St. Vincent, but more often than not you get Elsa and Fucking Fred.

Edge of Tomorrow

I decided to watch Avatar for the first time since it left theaters, and wow, what a douchey movie. James Cameron undeniably has talent and creativity, but he took such a cynical, by the numbers approach to this movie. It's like he went through a list of clichéd movie tropes and checked off every one of them:

- Mary Sue white protagonist who comes in and saves the day? CHECK!
- Obligatory love interest to mighty whitey? CHECK!
- Cliche businessman villain who only cares about making money? CHECK!
- One-dimensional military bad guys for the heroes to fight? CHECK!
- Cliche environmental subtext? CHECK!

The visuals also don't translate well on a tv as opposed to a movie screen. District 9 looks way more realistic, and it used a fraction of this piece of crap's budget. In fact, if you have never seen this movie and want to watch it, don't. Just watch District 9 instead. Hell, Return of the Jedi came out 30 years ago and did everything better than Avatar did.

The original "I Spit on your Grave" inexplicably showed up on the cable a week ago. Sweet Jesus...At 23 I wouldn't go see it on principle. Nigh on 40 years later I'd chosen wisely. The kicker:::"we're" not permitted to make movies like that anymore. Isn't that weird?

Naw. You two missed out the most obvious comparison--Ferngully in space. The last movie I watched was Fury. I watched it off XBMC and it was an interesting WWII movie. Although they've made so many and there are a couple more coming out this year/season. Brad Pitt reprising a WWII role since Inglorious Bastard is not a surprise for he fits that era to a T. The dude from End of Watch (Messican Guy), Shane from The Walking Dead, and a slew of other actors/actresses were in this one. Plot is cool--nothing really varying about it. The tracer fire did look like Star Wars lazers, which, seemed to give the film a little hokey feel. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it because of the flaws. I'll give it a 7/10.

I watched that and Guardians of the galaxy at this new regal theatre for 3 bucks each at the theatre's soft opening. THe theatre's seats are all king-size recliners with a tray-table and plenty of space. It is a nice experience and only a tiny bit more expensive(25 cents to $1) than normal tickets. The concessions may be more pricy but i can't recall what they are at other theatres right now.

[The Gemini Method]

The Counselor - Wasted about 2 hours on the movie and didn't get to see either Penelope Cruz's snatch or the tits of Cameron Diaz. Not that either star has shone bright in 5-7 years, they are still pretty hot. Javier Bardem was a bit to weird even for his skill set. That over-the-top hair style and his poor self-value really made him more paranoid than genius. Michael Fassbender was the main lead and he did an alright job. Not his best moment but he did anchor the movie. Brad Pitt was pretty effecting in his role as somewhat street smart Westray. How he goes out is about the only positive thing I could say about this movie. 5.5/10

"The Edge" from the '90s with Alec Baldwin & Anthony Hopkins. They get stuck in the vast wilderness. Hopkins is a billionaire & Baldwin (a photographer) has already bedded his hot model wife (Elle MacPherson). Now that he has the girl he wants the "boodle."

It's a fine film and has held up splendidly over 20 years later.

They're being stalked by a Kodiak bear who has now gone man hunter/blood drunk after killing & eating the third man of the lost trio (a black fellow). The sequences with the bear are done well.

Baldwin is every bit Hopkins equal here and it makes for a real treat.

Yep, has all sorts of fine lines and angles. They show you just enough of MacPherson to have you cloaked in angst that there ain't more.

"Charles" has no idea until he gets to the lodge that his wife & Baldwin are having an affair. And they don't tell us that in script/talk. They let us figure it out on our own. But, even then he lets Baldwin talk him out of it during the adventure until the point where he finds the order receipt from from the jeweler. And it's not even the "broad" that seduces a twice saved Baldwin at that late juncture, it's the "boodle." Always the $.

Then he pushes Charles' nose in it here:::"Yeah, Well, you have no business with that broad. You know that you don't."

Of course he knew.

Foxcatcher: Wavering between 7 and 8. Takes too many liberties with the timeline. Director makes some dumb choices that detract from the great overall mood and performances -- seems to happen a lot with this guy. Carrell nails DuPont's weirdness but looks like a burn victim under all that largely unnecessary makeup. Tatum is surprisingly capable and Ruffalo is downright amazing.

I saw a fuckin' dog the other day, "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn." One of Robin Williams final efforts. A piece of shit. Williams plays a man who is told by a physician that he has 90 minutes to live because of a cerebral aneurysm. I sat thru it, I don't know why, but, there is one hilarious fucking part where Williams goes into a camera store to purchase a video camera to record a final word to his son. The store's clerk is played by James Earl Jones, complete with the stutter thing he does. It's priceless and worth the monumental suffering.

New Wave Hookers 3: 11/10 Nice intro, good music, and Francesca Le puts in a solid performance.
how does it compare to the original if you've seen that, better or worse? I've never sat through all of the original, just skimming and etc...Ginger Lynn was a pure sexbomb, getting a DP but I can never tell if the industrial music makes it better or worse. The Kimberly Carson sequence is the best, she's perfect imo. Never saw the unedited version with Traci Lords.

Cool, I'll try to look for it. The first one seems like one of the most coked up porns ever made, which is saying a lot. Looks like Jamie Gillis isn't in part 2 which is good as he always seems like a closeted rapist.

The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies
7.5/10
Finally saw this one, tried earlier but didn't find time. Caught this one in a 3D HFR screening as that's how I've seen the other ones. Really dug it, in some ways I prefer the Hobbit films to LOTR because it has less slo-mow faggotry with hobbits crying and better overall pacing.

No doubt there is CGI overload, CGI Billy Connelly was fucking ridiculous yet everything feels hypnotic, almost psychedelic in the HFR edition. So I kind of dug the more cartoonish look of these prequels since the book was for kids. Still think adding the feminist elf and love triangle was stupid so that's why I can't give these films perfect scores, but still prefer them to LOTR.

Also, Martin Freeman blows Elijah Wood's acting out of the fucking water, it's not even close.

[HI-FI]

Exodus: Gods and Kings
7/10

So this was lambasted by liberal critics for its whitewashing of the cast, plus some conservatives were upset with a different interpretation (God speaks through a child). As a pretty huge fan of Ridley Scott I still needed to see it. Saw it twice and I feel it's underrated. It's got some issues though, the first hour is dull at times. Really the film doesn't really get interesting til God appears then it gets moving.

I think this is some of Ridley's best visual storytelling, he just seems really engaged and spot on.

A lot of people have issues with the script but I think it still features some powerful sequences.

Both Edgerton and Bale are very good. Curious if this film would benefit from a director's cut since I read the first cut was four hours. Maybe they can improve this and I'll increase my score. I definitely dug the version as it is.

Couldn't agree more with this entire take.

First time watching HFR. Knew what is was kinda gonna look like due to SOE on some tv's, and to say I don't like 3d is an understatement. But damn, both put together with time and care was mesmerizing, plus the film being good in itself was helped a lot.

I had no problems with GOd speaking through the child or the other changes. Those were all reasonable for a movie and it wasn't anywhere near goign off the deep end like Noah.

blackhat
6.5/10 based on my setting, possible 8/10 in better presentation

This film has tanked at the box office and gotten a lot of bad reviews, even from people who are fans of Mann. Michael Mann is still one of my favorite directors so I went out to see it despite the negativity. Once again, people are either full of shit or just lemmings, because no way is this Mann's worst film. That would be Public Enemies imo, and this is a really good rebound from that.

I would rate this higher but this old couple kept coughing and talking throughout the film. Plus my mocha frappuccino kicked in towards the end and I thought I was going to piss my pants at the climax. Fortunately...I did not.

Despite those distractions I really dug the film. Someone on another forum said that if you liked Miami Vice you'll like this, and I totally agree with that. This is on par with that, maybe better since it's not bogged down by fucking jamie foxx. The cyberthriller isn't really my genre, so that affects my score but I think Mann does some interesting stuff with it. Great cinematography and composition as usual with Mann. Overall better leads than Vice and visually way better than Enemies. Vice had a better closing shot than this, but the action sequences and bad guys in blackhat are maybe more memorable. Plus I'd recommend for anyone who also suffers from yellow fever.

another shitty take from Vander. Wick was well done. No one should go into that looking to pick apart fight sequences. Would you have been happy if they all jumped on him at once in the first scene and killed him? Or just shot him or blew up his house. Make for a very short movie.

I don't disagree, but I expected that going in. Of the movies with these cliches, it was done well. Plus denzel was good.


7.5 is a high grade in the middle tier for me.

[The Gemini Method]

Unbroken - 8/10 About the stranding and imprisonment of Louis Zamperini who was one of the other stars at the Berlin Olympics besides Mr. Owens. Pretty well done about a local star (Southern California) and the struggle of his dealings with an over zealous Imperial Japan camp death-head. What I found interesting was how they showed the survival portion of being lost at sea. Pretty long movie but it moves pretty fast. I knocked out American Sniper with this movie as well on the same night...with a sick gf...and a needy Welsh Corgi...

[HI-FI]

Taken 3: Malibu Reckoning

6/10 (being generous)

Man I wanted to like this movie, it just didn't work for me. I've seen the first Taken once, really dug it but never saw the sequel. Maybe if I saw part 2 I'd dig this more.
I'm no writer so I'm not sure how I would've done it differently, but the basic plot was stupid, once again having Famke Jansen have shitty taste in men. There was too much time setting up things, whereas in the first Taken you had a great concept that hooked you right away iirc.
My biggest beef was the direction. That Olivier Megaton took a megashit on the proceedings. I thought the car chase/semi crash was too incomprehensible. Plus that scene where Neeson drove the cop car down an escalator, it quickly explodes yet I don't recall seeing any shot of Neeson getting out. I guess you're supposed to assume he's like Michael Myers at this point, just surviving everything.
What sucks is I always wanted to see his crew from the first film involved or helping him out, which they did in this one, but it felt mishandled like most of the movie. Plus that final shootout with the guy in his tighty whities was cracking me up, I expected his dick to pop out on Neeson's face.
I didn't care for the editing either. Least it was Discount Day at the theater.

Not to be anal, but, just knocking that tooth out would not alleviate his problem. He'd have to get it out at the root as well as the nerves down in the root. That takes an oral surgeon. That rock would slice it off at the gum line.

Also, I've watched this movie a few times since it's initial release and either I'm wrong, or, they cut a part out.

Yeah i remember the part where he tried to hang himself but the tree limb broke. I haven't seen it in at least 5 years so dunno about any edit jobs. It's on Netflix so should be easy to find.

True enough about the tooth. Also, wouldn't it get infected the way he did it? No sterilization, no treament. Yeah I dont know about that.

I wacthed it on Netflix the other day and that one had that scene you're talking about. Maybe you're just forgetting about it. It's a short scene, you look away for a bit and you would miss it.

Saw "Barefoot" the other day with Speedman & Evan Wood. Surprisingly it was serviceable. Just very difficult to find Wood no longer a girl, but, now a woman. Just graveled me. I'll never forget her in "Thirteen." I will take that one to the grave. That girl is gone, kids, a woman with the fat upper arms (yep) has replaced her and it is depressing.

In "Barefoot" she plays a woman who has spent her entire life inside the house taking care of her mother. She escapes a mental ward with Speedman and the proverbial road trip takes place. Nothing earth shattering here, and the actors hold it up quite nicely.

[Thread]

I watched "The Next Three Days" again last nite from '10. It's gets better with time and with repeated viewing the understanding of the characters actions make a lot more sense. How anyone can watch this film once and appreciate it is beyond me. Elizabeth Banks is great throughout and Crowe lets her be. This is important in this film. Studied over multiple viewing and the aid of remote we can see how Banks has gotten herself into this mess. She is a shoot first type personality who walks away from her confrontations with the speed of light leaving behind in her wake human destruction. Crowe before the arrest is subservient to her in terms of actions and even their sexual relations. He is comfortable with the twist, in the house, or out of it. When their world is turned upside down it is left to him to change and he is willing.

Sure, the escape is ludicrous, but, still fun. "Hawkins" from "Jericho" has a nice turn as a lead detective and Brian Dennehy is Crowe's estranged father watching his son prepare to flee his homeland. Daniel Stern has a nice role as the family lawyer and he plays it straight up & down, no variance into the comedy. Liam Neeson has short, but, pivotal role as a 7 time prison escapee who advises Crowe on how to escape and how to stayed escaped with the caveat that he'll be "watching the door" evermore.

I like this movie. I like the honest, strong, confident woman Banks portrays. She's a hellcat. And watching Crowe work in fits of silence as he tries to figure this fuckin thing out is refreshing.

I also took another viewing of "Mutiny on the Bounty" from '35. The thing is 80 years old and it appears crisp & clear. It's incredible that two hundred years ago they'd press Englishmen into naval service for two years. Yet their "national anthem" clearly states that they'll never be "slaves." We're told this just before and just after this film is presented.

is that the one with Bogart? what's the other one, with Mel Gibson and Hopkins? never seen either. I need to catch up on Bogart's stuff though, I did like him in Casablanca, but probably need to see some more like Sierra Madre, African Queen (actually have seen most of it).
edit: i was thinking of the Caine Mutiny, nevermind.

[Thread]

I like the one with Gibson & Hopkins as well.

& I've tried Casablanca and the African Queen and even The Maltese Falcon numerous times but I just can't stick with them all the way thru and I love Bogart. Now The Caine Mutiny is one of my all time favorites. I love that movie, it's a treat all the way thru and a great conversation afterward.
