What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

The Reader 10/10

I was "W" last night -- I liked it. I think Stone did a good job of saying, yeah the US elected the village idiot for two consequential terms, but he's a complex person nonetheless. Or, perhaps better put, Stone made the story of George W political without caricature (which would be easy to do), and compelling without praise.

Rate it? 7/10

Just finished watching Capote. Excellent. Better than Big Fish (which I liked very much) but not as good as Mystic River. Kill Bill I & II, I would rate above Reservoir Dogs but below Jackie Brown and much below Pulp Fiction.

It made ones heart stop to see such young fresh beauty on screen. I love her in "National Velvet", of course. She is just darling in that film in my opinion and a rare young beauty as well.

He certainly did. Shame, really. Ooh I love National Velvet. It was my favourite when I was younger.


Just watched Romeo and Juliet a la Baz Luhrman. <3

I haven't seen that film in ages so I should not have judged. I will have to look at it again to see just how bad his acting is :lol:. Our library owns the DVD I believe.

Now if that a minus 3, I entirely agree! I hated this version. The Zefferelli version is sooo much better.

Not a -3. It's a heart. I love this version. :blush::blush:

I haven't seen the other one you mention though.

Rented movies last night . . .

Good Time Max: an intriguing plot, very artistic, fascinating ways of directing and camera-shots. Though I loved the beginning and end, I did not feel too crazy about the progress of the film, and some parts of the plot seemed a bit vague and cliché in its only 79 minutes of length. Overall, I loved it.
Rating: 7/10.

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: a fantastic documentary of Thompson, narrated by Johnny Depp, and featuring his personal friends, family, and co-workers, plus amazing footage of the author himself. Beautifully pieced together, but could have had a more linear progress, making a documentary easier to follow.
Rating: 9/10.

I just saw that at Blockbuster and was wondering if it'd be any good. Coincidentally, I saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas two weeks ago. I think I'll pick it up based on your recommendation.

Really? My order of Tarantino films from greatest to least is: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, then Grindhouse.

Jackie Brown was good and everything, but I prefer Tarantino's unrealistic, breakneck style (or maybe even medium) over the calm and slow pace of Jackie Brown and Death Proof. But that's just me.

Hi, everyone!!!

License to Kill - because it came on t.v today. I've seen it a million times but I can't help it! I'm pathetic. I'm a big James Bond fan. And Timothy Dalton is my favourite, second to Brosnan.

Timothy Dalton? Really? I'm a pretty big James Bond fan too, though he would probably be bottom of my list. The Living Daylights was nothing to write home about. Sean Connery tops my list. I can't pass up watching when I Bond film comes on tv either, even though I could pop in the dvd any time...

He's just not that into you. 4/5 I loved this movie and it is so true.

gran torino.

clint in his 70's. he can still pull it off. very believable, which is in itself a reason for a thumbs up. i'll give it four stars out of five.

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS!
10/10!!!
Big 10/10!!!
:lol: Amazing!

*Classic*, Dalton shines in his early roles: "Wuthering Heights" and "Jane Eyre". I will have to find some links to Youtube excerpts and post them for you. Both productions are wonderful. I never got into his work on the Bond films - he looks too slick for me and no one can beat Connery for charm. I love Dalton's earlier roles though. He had the most mesmerizing eyes. I own the one film, the first one; my library owns the second. I wouldn't mind owning that one, as well; it is a BBC or Masterpiece Theater production and very well done, quite true to the novel. Actress playing Jane is terrific, too.

Came back to edit and add these links:
