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

Well, back then they didn't know it caused cancer. It wasn't until the sixties that they started to figure it out. I remember my dad had smoked a pipe and still enjoyed cigars, but when they started informing the public of the dangers of smoking, he quit immediately. He had great discipline. My mom continued, then suffered for years from emphysema.

Anywho. that was just part of the lifestyle then, although there are some dangers in showing this and making it seem sophisticated, as you said. Young people are apparently very susceptible to those images, interestingly. And did you know that if a child plays with/eats candy cigarettes (do they even still make those?) it may increase their chances of taking up smoking?

The last movie I saw, is 'Under the Tuscan Sun'...it was on cable, and my son was asleep, and so I finally got to see it.

I felt it was a beautiful movie: there was just the right mix of fantasy, as well as pragmatism - as is life!

I just saw 'Pacific Rim' yesterday I really liked it. Idris Elba was great, he is my favorite actor at the moment and it doesn't hurt how very hot he is. Some of the drama was a bit annoying and I have to admit I was hoping for a slightly bigger ending without saying to much about it.

The leading male was OK (no idea who he is), it was good that he didn't take to much room I think so the others could shine, Charlie Day and Burn Gorman were great scientists.

I don't really drink and definitely not the strong stuff but there was a big drinking game in that movie.

Only God Forgives. 10/10

I saw Rise of the Guardian last night with my nieces. This time they brought the DVD and kept on reminding me that it belongs to them. We enjoyed the movie a lot. 7/10

I watched "Now you see me" on Sunday. I loved it 9/10.
I also watched Beautiful Creatures. Pile of ****e. Book was better

Ran by Kurosawa. Has anyone else seen this? I thought it was astounding, one of his very best.

[LitNetIsGreat]

I've not seen Ran I've seen quite a few of his though.

Last night I watched The Virgin Spring, Bergman, the fourth Bergman I have watched to date:

I thought it was OK, pretty good. Wild Strawberries and this one I have liked, that Wolf one can't think of the name of it right now and Seventh Seal, were too odd for me.

Monsters University. My cousin liked it, I thought it was ok. 6/10

I'd recommend Fanny and Alexander as his best - though it does get a little surreal toward the end.

I saw The Bridge as Ramagen, in military.com. I thought it was interesting regarding the exposure of Nazi officers who were no longer going to take orders from Hitler's madness and realized that their war was already lost. However on the American side the movie was inconsistent with military teamwork, and could not have happened in that messy way. It was very atypical. Still very interesting.

I watched Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted with my nieces, it was a great fun. And when the movie ended they kept on repeating the words “Trapeze Americano”. It’s amazing how kids easily learn new words. They even tried to sing like Dubois.
I'll give it 7/10

Went to see The Wolverine yesterday, pretty good. A lot of action and pain just like wolvie likes it. I didn't like Jean Gray's role in it, found it kinda pointless. And some very funny scenes about how tough he is and that he is a loner and will bear his curse alone, I always find that funny. I don't think he smoked a lot in this one, he is really the only person who 'can' smoke. I always enjoy Marvel's hidden ending, most of the audience had already left and there were about 7 of us left in our seats waiting patiently and a few who were walking down when it started but about 60% had left.

It's Marvel you know there is a secret ending!

Gangster Squad. Very well fashioned after a 40's/50's thriller. It reminded me a lot of The Asphalt Jungle, stylistically. I liked it.

[bookowskee]

El Topo. This one is a classic. A fusion of surrealism, mysticism, absurdism and existentialism typically found in Alejandro Jodorowski's films - at least, the good ones. 9, 9.5/10.
