Patrick McGoohan was good in this.

true, but what isn't he good in?

[milkmandan]

Silence of the Lambs 9/10
Red Dragon 7.5/10

Getting ready to watch Hannibal next. I heard Hannibal Rising is pretty bad, so I'll save that one for last.

[badgevvrecker]

manhunter beats the shit out of red dragon, for the most part. i really really wanted to like red dragon, but the direction was almost as unimaginative as ed nortons horrifically wooden performance.

The Tree of Life - 10/10

Fucking amazing. Not what I was expecting, exactly. Was surprised by his directness with this one - it isn't a straightforward movie, but it isn't ambiguous, either. Can totally see why it would piss some people off.

[Necrometer]

sounds good to me

going to shroom my way through this with a dear friend in the next couple of weeks, I think

LOL at the directness/not-straightforward juxtaposition though

woops!

spoiler only contains a pseudo-spoiler

easier way to say that: I think he says something very clearly without TELLING it - it's all about showing. no holding your hand with a helpful narrative, no shortcuts, just the pictures and the music and a few words.

[Necrometer]

yeah dude I'm into that

it's what makes Stalker great, something for everyone who shows up with an open mind

edit: maybe not a good comparison, we'll see... I mean maybe Malick has ONE thing to say, in that case it's different

[caldwell.the.great]

yes!
Tarr does that, too.

There's a sequence in the movie I know you're going to love. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

[Necrometer]

TARR

science ahoy

want

etc

Henry & June - Fake bald dudes/10

In between the pervy aspects, I was so distracted by Fred Ward's fake bald head I couldn't actually concentrate on what was happening til the lesbo stuff without him was on.

[neckbeard]

trve grit 7.5

pretty fun to watch but after the pit was sloppy... and the epilogue was weird

[guardianoftheblind]

i just got true grit on bluray 8.5-9/10

[fallbacktostone]

dodsworth - 9

[Whee of the Dead]

Super 8 - 7

not quite an 8.

[The Schwartz]

fuck I am stoked to see Super 8 too

clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose

Some may think I'm being a little too generous with my score but I love kids on an adventure flick. Overall it feels like someone found a lost Spielberg B-side from the early 80's.

[The Schwartz]

then I'll probably love it more than that because I have total man crush on Kyle Chandler

Bobby Fischer Against The World - 8/10
Good doc...one of a series being aired Mondays on HBO. Awesome! http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/index. ... ies/inside

Trust (1990) - 9/10 Martin Donovan and Adrienne Shelly were really great together...even though it kinda makes me sad to see her in movies now.

Bridesmaids - 7.5/10 I laughed a lot and teared up at the end...looking forward to watching it again.

Scream 4 - 4/10 What a weird movie. At one point the ghostface guy on the phone said "THIS IS NOT AN APP" in his scary voice. A bad movie is still bad, even if you acknowledge how crappy it is throughout.


Also really want to see Super 8 this weekend...

Just watched and would give the same rating and synopsis, maybe drop the rating by .25. I've realized that the Coen Bros. don't know how to make a proper ending anymore.

we already had this argument once (spacehamster?)

Haha. We sure did.

Just watched Roadhouse. Like, for the first time in my life. I know, that's probably what's been wrong with me all along. Anyway, obviously everything everyone here has been saying about it is true.

[Iron Goldie]

My Neighbor Totoro - 10/10 I love this movie. I only wish it were a little bit longer.

True Grit - 8/10

[featherboa]

true grit talk:

i just didn't like how they left matt damon behind and rode off on little blackie and then rode little blackie to death even though there was at least one more horse available. too picky?

was cheney retarded?
