What Did You Watch Today?

Going to Gravity either tonight or tomorrow!

Alice in Wonderland. Man, the reverend must have been doing some crazy shit when he wrote the books. Forgotten how out there it is, I think I need to lie down for a while.

[LL!]

Captain Phillips was pretty good. It was pretty tense and Tom Hanks was just phenomenal. He was amazing in the end, particularly.

Gravity was WONDERFUL. Really intense and just so well-done.

[ZJ Penn]

Just had a double bill of Prisoners and How I Live Now. I really enjoyed the former, was terrifically bored by the latter.

Yesterday, I watched The Bleeding House. I should have listened to the reviews.

Ringu, there aren't any scary scenes but the suspense is just downright scary.

[Your Mom]

Watched The Purge. I actually really liked it. Of course I eat this kind of stuff up though so I may not be the best judge.

The Mummy (1932), Boris Karloff

[GhostMachine]

Redemption , a Jason Statham movie. The title AND description were both misleading, and I recommend skipping it unless your goal is to see every movie that Jason Statham makes.

I'm watching Beavis and Butt-head Do America--one of the most underrated movies ever.

It features this joke.

It is my favorite movie joke ever probably.

The only two things I don't like in that movie are that the intro's joke of being a Shaft ripoff isn't as funny in hindsight and the cover of "Love Roller Coaster." That's it. The rest rules.

Holy shit, Gravity was absolutely amazing. Right now, it's definitely in my top three favourite films of the year.

It's my top film for this year and GIVE SANDRA BULLOCK THE OSCAR FOR LEADING ACTRESS ALREADY!!!

Watched four British films today to correspond with one of my Contemporary British Cinema unit (loosely anyway, I'm giving it about 20 years). Boy A & Brassed Off were both very, very good. Andrew Garfield and Pete Postlethwaite were fantastic, respectively.

But Ratcatcher & Eden Lake didn't really do it for me. Has anyone seen Ratcatcher? If so, I'm interested in what they thought of it because it was very critically lauded, and while the directing and cinematography were both pretty wonderful, I was just kind of disinterested and bored. And Eden Lake's awful characterisation pretty much killed anything I could've got out of that film.

Saw The Mole People today, well the mole people were cool. Wish they had another role in this Universal Monster Movie.

[apsham]

This Is The End and Pacific Rim.

Holy fuck, both amazing films.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Invisible Man, lovely.

[ZJ Penn]

The Fifth Estate.

I enjoyed it, but it never really grabbed me. It also reminded me how awesome Stuhl was as Niki Lauda.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Descent, this one is creepy and scary at the same time. One of the best modern horror movies out there.

[Jimmy]

The Searchers is very good, but I preferred Stagecoach when comparing John Wayne & John Ford films. Wayne's great though, and eventually, I'll look to get through more of his work, just got plenty of other stuff to work through first.

Am I the only one that thought the Deadly Spawn was boring?
