Thread: Last (X) Movies You've Seen, part 2

DISTRICT 9 A screenplay contender. ***/****

Trois Coleurs: Rouge - Irene Jacobs does a pretty good job acting here and the cinematography is beautiful, but the story just doesn't have much going for it? It is interesting, the relationship she begins with the older man and the alternate story going on, but its a bit too confusing in its delivery. The ending pulls it together nicely for a nice fitting end that unites the trilogy. 7/10 The Proposition - Rough and brutal. Superb...

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (1967) - 2/4 Casablanca (1942) - 4/4 Cloverfield (2008) - 3/4 Fight Club (1999) - 4/4 Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator (1967) - 3.5/4 Man is Not a Bird (1965) - 3.5/4 Underground (1995) - 1.5/4 When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) - 1.5/4

Live Flesh - hidden masterpiece from Almodóvar. probably a 4/4 is justified in this case... it's one of those films that I want to see again sometime soon. And Liberto Rabal is like my newest crush.

I really hoped Lynch would have more screen time.

Brothers (viewed: 12-06-09) The first third of the film feels too much like one film forcing itself into another, and the overall story is lacking in terms of meat or character development. Nevertheless, I found myself drawn to the story and the acting was quite good. Overall, it's a decent film but much more could have been done with it. ***/***** Up In The Air (viewed: 12-6-09) It's hard to judge this film because it doesn't...

SCHOCK Crap. **/****

shank- 2.5/5 good gay sex scenes. other than that, laughable. the box- 3/5 good acting. suspenseful at times but ultimately senseless and worthless. the blind side- 3/5 sandra bullock's role and performance were nowhere near as good as the hype led me to believe. i did appreciate her subtle touches but the movie is seriously just one of those movies that feature an african american as a child-man to be educated by the white person. a lot...

Grey Gardens Barrymore and Lange shine. 8/10 Juno Don't understand the hate it gets, there's nothing wrong with it at all. And Ellen Page is awesome in this. 7/10
