I'd heard a lot of good things about this film, and was doubly piqued for its portrayal of both a German perspective and the Eastern Front. Though not perfect, it really is a laudable war film.

30 minutes or less, Jesse wasn't to bad in this film and it was entertaining nothing more. (some of his others are just right wank films)
It went by really quick and was really short at 83 minutes long. I felt like they could have added a few more scenes in or extended some and made it a bit funnier. I watched this a few times when I rented it, it is only 83 minutes after all. Had a number of jokes that I thought were pretty funny and was an enjoyable 'light' movie

i loved that movie, although it was seriously misadvertised as some kind of horror/slasher flick. such a sad story.
friends with kids which a buddy's girlfriend wanted to see. eh. shitty, boring, unfunny. 2/10

Paths of Glory
there is something bland about 50s american cinema. this movie is not an exception. but it's good for what it is. a contender with Lolita for my least favorite kubrick movie.

Léon: The Professional(1994)
Had seen this on the IMDB top 250 list and other lists as well, but had never really heard anything about it. I knew it was Natalie Portman's first movie, but for some reason I thought she was just a side character, I didn't realize she was the second lead in the film. She was amazingly talented even at 12-13 years old. Definitely enjoyed the movie, it moved very quickly and it didn't seem to ever lull at all.
Also glad I saw the longer version (the international version) which is around 20 minutes longer than other versions which cut out some of the scenes of tension between Natalie Portman and Jean Reno. Those scenes added a lot to the characters and made the movie make more sense as far as what Natalie Portman's character was going through.
Also saw: Bad Teacher (2011), Shaun of the Dead (2004), The Brothers McMullen (1995) and rewatched the first Rocky since I only watched it once before on TV.

haven't seen it since i was a kid, but i was hugely disappointed with Léon: The Professional.
Au hasard Balthazar
i put off watching it for a long time because i could tell it was going to have a lot to do with a donkey. i caved because the movie is so often referenced and the girl on the cover is so pretty. anne wiazemsky is like an attractive shelley duvall. the movie is stupid. to the point of often not making sense. anne has a long list of movies on IMDB. hopefully she stars in something good.

Yeah, Wenham's portrayal of an Australian junkie was fucking hilarious.

^ Yeah, its one of those fantastically awful movies.
Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him?) - 8/10
A pretty awesome documentary about a guy whose music I've heard for years and years, but whose name I never knew.

I Think We're Alone Now - 6/10
A very strange documentary. It focuses on two people: Jeff (a 50-year-old autistic man) and Kelly (a transgender alcoholic) who are obsessed with 80's pop star Tiffany. The film offers a very humanistic look into the lives of people that most would call "stalkers". While the subjects are very interesting from a psychological perspective, there isn't much of an overall narrative.

i had a pulp movie day with friends.
Japanese Summer: Double Suicide
much more entertaining then i was expecting. the plot is so pointless it gives a feeling of surrealism. significantly better than Cruel Story of Youth.
A Boy and His Dog
decent B-movie for the most part. class A ending.

Do you remember what you didn't like? Do you know which version you saw? I feel like I wouldn't have liked it as much if I saw the slightly shorter US version as they would have cut out a lot of key scenes showing the character development of Natalie Portman and Jean Reno.
Rewatched Snatch and Amelie. Definitely liked both a lot more the second time around. Still think Lock, Stock... is better than Snatch though. Had originally seen Amelie in French class as a junior in HS and I couldn't remember a lot of it, nor had I paid attention to a lot of the details of the film at the time. Also, Audrey Tautou is so pretty.
Saw Spiderman 3 for the first time. Nice to finally see the third installment of that series. It was ok. Liked the first one the best.
Saw Midnight Meat Train, which starred Bradley Cooper a year before The Hangover came out. It was B level horror movie for the first half then it was D level horror movie the second half, with a really stupid ending.
Saw The Proposition (2005). This movie was really beautifully shot and the costumes/characters/sets really looked the period. It had a really gritty feel to it. I don't think I could sit through it again though. It was pretty dark and a bit disturbing. It's also got an odd feel as you never really get invested with any of the characters. At the most some of them were partially likeable. Has anyone else seen this? The one with Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone (there's other movies with the same title apparently).

Margin Call
A film about the stock exchange crash of 2008/9 really shouldn't be that interesting, but I was completely hooked. Everyone was very well cast. Kevin Spacey was great to watch, although Jeremy Irons hammed it up somewhat (although when does he not).
I seriously recommend giving it a try.
4/5
