A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

12,438 1,117 April 23, 2010 at 06:49 PM
One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.) Big Grin

I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)

So what have you folks watched recently?

Dream House - Like watching a slow moving film adaptation of a Mary Higgins Clark novel. It takes a clever turn midway but with poor acting and corny dialogue they rush into the ending. If you loved What Lies Beneath you may like it.

Drive - Reminded me of Tarantino's style and what another filmmaker once said about him: "It's like watching a schoolboy's fantasy of violence and sex, which normally Quentin Tarantino would be wanking alone to in his bedroom while this mother is making his baked beans downstairs. Only this time he's got Harvey Weinstein behind him and it's on at a million screens." laugh out loud

Drive is slow, then brutal violence and gore, then slow. At least when Scorsese gives you brutal violence like in Goodfellas, the film moves at a decent pace, the acting is ideal, the banter interesting. Drive is the best movie of the year they say. Hollywood can't do better than some unimaginative piece of crap with one-dimensional characters and and 80's soundtrack?

I'm Goslinged out, too. He was hot 10 years ago in Murder by Numbers with Sandy Bullock. I remember the bleachers scene with Gosling's smirk and sarcastic charm and rushing online to see who he was. A decade later, his voice and expression have remained unchanged, and he's still playing himself in every role. Wake me up when he finally evolves. Cool

Had a Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen double feature this weekend and watched Major League (1989) and Platoon (1986). Platoon checks in at number 86 of the American Film Institute's Top 100. Good times.

It wasn't exactly what I was expecting (but I wasn't really sure what to expect).
