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

I know! It was heartbreaking, wasn't it? But it is a great movie.

It was good, now I'm disappointed it was such a short lived series. Are there plans for any more movies?

Has anyone else seen "Baraka"? nonverbal, no plot, actors, script... uses a lot of timelapse...


Absolutely stunning and beautiful.. It is my favourite film.. I watched it for the 4th time today, and each time it keeps opening new ideas, new thoughts, images, heartbeats... it is amazing... wonderful... beautiful soundtrack, passionate video..

if you haven't seen it I definitely recommend it!!! *smile*


oh yeah here's the website for the film... Baraka

Enchanted - 4/10.

Didn't like it. Couldn't make head-tail out of it. Hardly doubt it was because I was sleepy.

I'm starting to hate him!T

I have not read the book so I do not know if the movie is a faithful adaptation but anyway, in my opinion, it was very well made. The actors played their roles very convincingly. Especially Javier Bardem. I've never encountered a more frightening character than his role of Anton the psychopath! Really really gave me the creeps! The downside of the movie for me was the violence, I think there was just a tad too much of it.

The book was better but the film was a great adaptation. The novel is just as violent though. I think Texas was more of a powerful character in McCarthy's writing which the Coen's didn't manage to capture in their film.

I own that film, along with Stalker but i haven't watched them yet.

Stalker's my favorite Tarkovski film so far. You should definately watch them both though.

"Autumn Sonata" by Bergman
20/10!!
Simple, absolute MASTERPIECE!!

I love this film! I'll go dig my review up from another forum later.

Incidentally, I also own "The Sacrifice" and haven't watched yet. Kino International was having a big VHS clearance so I picked it up for $5 or something.

Anyway:
"There Will Be Blood"
This is the best film I've seen in a theater for a long, long time. It's a very...uncomfortable movie - the boy-preacher's little "exorcism" scene was particularly cringe-worthy, and the dissonant music was highly unsettling. But really a fantastic film - with a classic final scene.
10/10
There aren't really any women in it, though, that I can recall.

"There Will Be Blood" was another masterpiece!!!! Daniel Day-Lewis is perfect-as always-.

My Bergman festival continues:
"The Seventh Seal"
well, again: 20/10....

The scene of the chess "match" is a classic...

manolia, I have seen three of those - "The French Connection", "Rainman", years ago and recently I finally watched "The Green Mile". I think your rating is right on. I truly liked that film - the acting was great. Unfortunately, I have not seen the other film. It sounds very good. I will have to look out for it. Would it have an English title, do you know? What does it mean?

The english title should be something like "A song for Argyris"..not sure if you can find it though..it is an obscure swiss film

"There Will Be Blood" was another masterpiece!!!! Daniel Day-Lewis is perfect-as always-.

You know, I still haven't gotten a chance to see it!!! I have to get the theater one of these days. Maybe I am just going to have to settle with seeing it on DVD.

For me, I think the burning girl's scene was what really did it. Terrifying, and...well, just true. Another one of my favorite movies. Wish my friend would return it to me...
(Maybe i should go have a talk with my mother, after all... )

I went on a wild Fritz Lang binge and watched over thirteen hours worth of film in the last two days, now I'm on overload.

Die Nibelungen part 1 : Siegfried
Die Nibelungen part 2 : Kriemhild's Revenge, these get 10/10
Hangmen Also Die 7/10
Dr Mabuse, the Player 8/10
The Last Will of Dr Mabuse 9/10

And what about "The Face", another masterpiece...Bergman is my favourite director.

LadyWentworth, vheissu, don't miss the chance to see "There Will Be Blood", even on DVD.
I am promoting this film (shamelessly...)
