What Did You Watch Today?

We went to see Hitchcock Blonde the other day at the theatre, which discusses the shower scene quite a bit. Plus it had two moments of full frontal nudity

We also caught This is 40, which I liked, despite having a dozen plot threads, none of which are resolved...

Mako being in an episode of Lovejoy is wonderful.

[Toe]

I actually think Terminator 3 is good. Its not even close to the first two, but its a fun action movie.

Watching Expendables 2 for the second time. I didn't love it the first time I saw it, but on second viewing I am really enjoying it.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Just saw Paul. I liked it. Had some good laughs and Paul is an amazing alien.

[Kaney]

Terminator 4 is better than terminator 3.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I saw Men in Black III today, it's better then 2, but no way near 1. Suprised by the great ending though. Would like to meet Griff. See the future in different ways.

[Jimmy]

Really? I called the end 30 minutes in and from therein it was just really predictable. Kinda fun, though.

Watched two debut films recently, Bound and Following. I thought Bound was really great, and after reading about it in terms of psychology, its comparisons to noir film and patriarchy it made it even more interesting. A fun, fast moving plot full of tension and great sequences. Easily my 2nd favourite thing the Wachowski Brothers have directed.

Following was great to see what you could do on a micro budget and you can see a lot themes Nolan would go on to use in a number of his films in his debut. Some of the acting is a bit questionable at times, but the script is smart and more than makes up for it. Plan to watch Sydney/Hard Eight soon for another debut film.

Also watched Groundhog Day over the weekend for the first time which was great fun and The King of Comedy which was even better. Just loved everything about that film from script, to direction and especially the performances.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Yeah, I only started to think the obvious when said person was aproached by K to be a MIB.

Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies

[King Ellis]

You're late watching Groundhog Day, Jimmy. Should have watched with me on Groundhog Day!

It really is wonderful, wonderful.

[Phobia]

Picked up Argo last night and it really is a pretty good thriller. Affleck is a great film maker.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Watched two enjoyable movies today, The Last Boy Scout and Tango & Cash. Liked The Last Boy Scout more.

[ZJ Penn]

Just been to see Mama. I have to say, it fell short of my expectations. Too many jump scares, not enough genuinely creepy moments and..

...far too much screen time of Mama.

[HC]

End of Watch was fantastic, aside from a less-than-stellar ending. I can't understand how that got passed over for Oscar noms.

[Walker]

The other day I got taken over by nostalgia and downloaded all of The Mask: The Animated Series. It is better than I remember! Amazing.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Towncraft.

It's an older documentary (2007) about the DIY punk community in Little Rock, Arkansas throughout the mid 80s/early 90s, and the sort of "evolution" of the scene as the kids who started it get older - moving away from punk and pop punk influences, towards grassroots rock'n'roll and other genres by the time the 21st century rolled around. It's a 2 hour long documentary, but I found it really interesting.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I saw Cobra today. O boy, a lot of people die in this movie. The knife the main bad guy uses (forgot his name already) is kinda nice. I don't if I have to like this movie or not, but it was watchable and I enjoyed it. So I guess I like this film.

[KONGO]

Getting to the point where Jane and Eric leave Lovejoy.

[Jimmy]

Watched a lot of things lately, including To The Wonder and The Purple Rose of Cairo which are both magical for completely different reasons. But finally just watched The Silence of the Lambs for the first time and it was brilliant, totally lived up to the hype. Are any of Manhunter, Hannibal or Red Dragon worth watching? From what I can understand, the first and last of those three seem to be better received, but I'm not in any main rush to watch any of them - just wondering for the future really.

[TKz]

Manhunter is alright for seeing Cox as Hannibal. Skip the rest. Red Dragon is like a dumbed down Silence of the Lambs. Fiennes and Hopkins are okay but it's not really worth it.

[Josh]

I dug Red Dragon. It likely could have been trimmed down a bit more in editing, but I liked it in general. It's got a great cast.
