I just watched that old Movie "what's eating Gilbert Grape", I found on my computer. Now I haven't seen this movie since a kid sometime. Dunno if it is cos I currently have the flu, or my depression, or the alcohol consumed earlier, but I actually started mildly tearing up and almost cried a couple of times near the end during What's eating Gilbert Grape. Lol. Now I don't watch a hell of a lot of movies at all and certainly don't usually get that emotional. Am I just amusing myself now, or does anyone think almost crying during this 1993 film is possible lol.

The last movie I watched was The Social Network. I wonder if Zuckerberg is really a giant douche irl?
 
SLC Punk

I caught this movie on netflix in demand I didnt have much expectation as it looked like a late 90s low budget indie flik. I suffered through a slow first 20 minutes but I found myself identifying with the main character and the movie rapidly picked up steam towards the halfway point of the movie. Without giving much away this movie really made me think about the nature of rebellion and individuality. What I really like was that it didnt settle for easy question or answers it forced me to think about my own life. Overall this movie is well worth the 92 minutes of your life.
 
Just watched The Devil's Advocate and Donnie Brasco, and Heat yesterday. Reminded me of how much i love Al Pachino. All great films.
 
^ The first two are indeed excellent. :) (Haven't seen the third. :P)

Last watched The Corporation, which was quite a chilling look into how much of our lives corporations really do own/control. There's a "shareware"/"freeware" version of it available on YouTube. (Mods, if I can't post that link, you can remove it. :))
 
watched K-PAX (starring kevin spacey & jeff bridges) for the second time last night and it gets worse after each viewing, even the soundtrack i thought was good the first time and this time it seemed dated

Did you enjoy it the first time around though? I had wanted to see it when it was in theaters, but then someone told me it was sad, so I never ended up watching it.


Lord of War (2005)



I had seen most of this on TV a few years ago, but had missed a few parts and TV cuts out some violence, language, and the nudity. I thought this was a really good movie, but I never really hear many people talk about it. I know a lot of people don't like Nicholas Cage, but he gave a great performance as Yuri Orlov who was a fictional composite character of real life gunrunners. Jared Leto once again captured being a fuck up quite well and there were a few other good peformances, the African president and his son in particular. I liked Ethan Hawke a lot in Training Day, but I didn't think he was all that great in this movie. Maybe it was just his character overall.

I think I may have enjoyed the movie so much because of how little I know of the subject and how I realized I had never given it much thought before I had watched the movie.
 
Personaly I enjoyed Kpax the first time I saw it but it really doesnt have much rewatch value at all. And I agree Lord Of War was a pretty good movie I like the part where dude has the Ukraine maped out in cocaine a damn funny scene.

Last night I watched the Virgin Suicides and I have to say that it left a pretty big impression on me. I really like the way it was directed and narrated as a look back on the past. I think what really stuck out was that it had some really funny scenes but still was a suspensful drama I think thats pretty hard to do. Overall I thought it was really good.

LOL! He is slightly jittery and slightly moving back and forth as he tries to touch up the cocaine borders, definitely seemed like someone all coked up. Then his brother walks in and he goes, "It's my brother Yuri! Everybody it's my brother Yuri!" except no one else is there.

Additionally I liked the opening scene where it follows a bullet being manufactured in the Soviet Union, transported to Africa, loaded, and then fired into a child soldier. It was cool how it was shown from the perspective of the bullet; from creation to final use. Also liked the scene where Nicholas Cage is talking about the AK47 and how it's been the "greatest export in the Soviet Union followed by vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists".
 
Breakfast at Tiffany's

i used to be embarrassed that i'd never seen this. now i've seen it. and it's just more of the solid but boring who-cares that came out of american studios between the 40s and early 60s. there is an essay to be written comparing the novella and the movie -- what the (significant) changes made reflect about the gender roles and entertainment industry of that era. or i imagine that essay exists. anyway, the book is short and fun. the movie is long and cliche.

Say "auf Wiedersehen" to your Nazi balls.

Inglorious Basterds (2009)




I hate Nazi's, so I thought this movie was awesome.

NSFW:
That end was so awesome! Pumping bullets into those Nazi bastards while they tried to flee from a burning theater all the while the Jewish woman is on the projector and over the speakers telling them they're going to die at the hands of a Jew; awesome

Event Horizon

Well, well, this was certainly an entertaining movie, if not technically a good piece of cinema. It was over-the-top, campy, horrific, and its subject matter was literally out on the fringe of the universe. But you know what? I liked it. I enjoy sci-fi movies that make that reach to become more than just another space-gasm, even if they don't quite come together as a whole. A great one to MST3K with friends; my friend and I had a lot of fun guessing who would live and who wouldn't, what the twist would be, and so on. Just don't go into it expecting anything close to hard science.

Drive

I had heard good things about this, and still I was left floored! This is my kind of movie. If a little slow, the action is raw and exciting, the characters are captivating and believable, and the plot dilemmas are handled delicately and yet they pull no punches to sugar-coat the audience or fall prey to the more silly conventions of the car-chase genre. Ryan Gosling is fast becoming one of my favorite contemporary actors, you can tell by his choices in roles and his performances that he knows and respects his craft. The director, Nicholas Winding Refn, is also to be praised for his treatment of the adapted work. When I finished the movie and looked him up, I found out he was the man behind both Bronson and Valhalla Rising (both of which I thoroughly enjoyed), and it all made sense. Easily the best movie of 2011 for me, beating out Rango and X-Men: First Class (...wow, in retrospect 2011 hasn't offered much).

Legion

One of the worst movies I've ever seen, and not in a good way. At no point does it even come close to being either exciting or emotionally compelling. Failed on every level imaginable. I feel sorry for Paul Bettany that he's relegated to roles like this and Priest nowadays; I have no such sympathy for Dennis Quaid.
