I watched "After Sex" with Brooke Shields and assorted B listers.
The only epiphany I had was hearing the outstanding music of Mr. Glen Scott. Glen Scott is one of the greatest recording artists in contemporary music—and one of my enduring favorites. You can't categorize him easily, but he's prodigiously gifted, passionate, hip, and peerless as a track arranger and orchestrator. I think he started with a funk band called Liberty. I wish all his music were more readily available, but right now a lot of it is hard to find. You could fill your entire iPod with Glen and never get tired of him. Songs like "Delusions of Grandeur," "Dawn," and "Heaven" are classics. http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=28341248&ac=now |
Gone ~ Amanda Seyfried
Let me save all Ledgies about 1 1/2 hours of their lives. Don't rent this movie. It was just horrible. Terrible acting. |
Chronicle
I was surprised I liked the first 2/3's of this movie. But like many movies, they didn't know how to end it. Someone with a few brain cells could have made this a good movie. Perfect Sense A big fail. Coriolanus It was bad enough that I had to fast forward through over half of it. The Flowers Of War Christian Bale stars in this movie. And he seems to be it's weakest link. I did enjoy it overall, but it is difficult to watch because of the horrific violence. |
(500) Days of Summer-Absolutely loved it, thought it was a brilliant movie.
Cruel Intentions-Never gets old, love Sarah. The Mist-I actually enjoyed this movie a lot, I now hate insects much more though. |
Immortals - what a disappointment, though I don't know why I expected something great
The Descendants - I wanted to like this more than I did. My first reaction is that it was "overrated"... the one thing I found was that all of the characters were just obnoxious and nearly unlikeable. Animal Kingdom - an Aussie flick that was quite enjoyable. Has a certain dark flair to it that's slightly reminiscent of the heavy crime dramas like Goodfellas or Casino. |
Big Miracle
I like Drew Barrymore, but this movie was horrible. Waste of time for sure. Casa de mi Padre Not for everyone, but I laughed at it. Those horses and the white mountain lion, what a trip. Salmon Fishing In The Yemen An enjoyable beautiful movie except for Kristin Scott Thomas' potty mouth. The Fairy A fairy shows up at a small hotel and gives the clerk three wishes. Weird, odd and different is how I would describe this French Film. |
Intruders, (Clive Owen)
Do you like scary movies? Well, if you don't rent this one. Horrible. |
A Thousand Words
(Eddie Murphy), Just a few laughs with a touching moment or two. Ho-hum. |
I keep forgetting this thread!
I watched Frankie and Johnny (1991), Thelma and Louise (1991) and one of my absolute favourites, Double Indeminty (994) this weekend. The last two are pretty much flawless but, while Ilove Michelle Pfeiffer, Frankie and Johnny isn't the best. It's ok but never really gets going and I find myself unable to care about her character too much. I have to agree with many otherts that Kathy Bates would have been better if she'd been approached for the role after doing it on Broadway before. |

Martin Scorsese Presents: The Blues: A Musical Journey: Disc One (of five)
I saw much of this series a few years back on PBS. A very entertaining look at Blues music. A big thank you to Alan Lomax for all the work he did at preserving American Music. |
Because I have admittedly terrible taste in movies, lately :-
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (I'd heard good things on other forums and I wanted to check it out for myself. Some parts are quite cheesy, and it could never claim to be "Blockbuster Worthy". But it's a lot of fun.) 13 Going On 30 (Admittedly I only watched this because of Mark Ruffalo, who is actually quite adorable) The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (I've had this in my collection for years, but I've never quite gotten around to watching it. I wish I had done years ago, because it's simply stunning. Jim Carrey in one of his best films. Interesting that his best films tend to be his more serious roles) |

Now that it's been out nearly a year I would like say that
Ex Machina (Alicia Vikander) is one of my most favorite films ever. So many little details to watch for. And the best thing about it is not what you see, it's what it makes you consider. |
I watched Tootsie.
|
I watched "Purple Rain".
|

versions of this movie (^). Also maybe they'll upgrade Purple Rain on Blu ray. |
Special Correspondents (Ricky Gervais)
A movie that forgets it's a comedy. And a waste of my time. |
10 Cloverfield lane. Didn't think it could be so good but it is.
|
The Revenant
Disappointed in this one. After all the great reviews I thought this would be much better. |
Under Siege, an oldie BUT goodie with Steven Segal and Tommy Lee................
Max, about the marine dog who loses his trainer/handler and moves in with the family.......... I picked up Purple Rain on DVD from Wal Mart in the throw it all in there roundy-bin for $1.99 last week.......................... |
Rock The Kasbah (Bill Murray)
Horrible movie. Why did I even? Jaco (Jaco Pastorius) Excellent documentary! If you love music, especially bass guitar then give this a try. |
I watched Black Orpheus (Orpheu Negre) on Turner Classic Movies... must be the fifth time. I didn't think it could get me interested yet again but it totally kept me watching it! There is also a great doc about it (maybe check Youtube) and a soundtrack LP/CD.
It's a rare movie that gets to three viewings for me, we're in Akira Kurasawa or Jean Cocteau territory, or the 1933 King Kong... try to see this if you haven't. |
Four flies on grey velvet. It was out of mind. It was the '70s.
|
"Hello, My name is Doris"
"10 Cloverfield Ln" "Hush" |
Hank And Asha - (Mahira Kakkar)
An interesting little film. |
The Age Of Adaline (Blake Lively)
Yeah, I know another chick flick. But I liked it. 2001: A Space Odyssey Hadn't seen this in years. Still trying to wrap my brain around it. Remarkable looking considering it's age. |
Hello....My Name Is Doris
The Other Sister Second Coming |
Clinton Ca$h
|
|
Olive, I need to finish ^that movie.
__________________________ Not yet at the theaters but Darth Vader is really walking fast in the new Rogue One trailer. He seems to have anger issues. |
I raided Youtube if that counts since I dont rent movies.I dont want to fund Hollywood anymore.
Got into an 1980's movie mood. Screwballs 1 and 2,Flashpoint so far. I got a few boxes of DVDs that were given to me and I got to check them out. |
The Jungle Book 3D Blu ray.
I enjoyed this new take. The 3D was pretty good. Pretty intense for younger viewers though. FROZEN 3D Blu ray. All my nieces love this movie (like everyone else's). I can see why as it's one of the most entertaining children's movies I've seen. The 3D was fantastic. Disney knows what they're doing. |

I loved Frozen. Fun and uplifting. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There was so much hype when the film first came out, and with the song "Let it Go!" which irritated me, so I didn't watch it until the following Christmas, and then had a lovely surprise. I watched Wonder Boys at the weekend, a film from 2000 that I'd never heard of. I loved it :) |

However even if the songs and the visuals are reminiscent of the old Disney classic glories, I have to say that the storyline isn't. |

Let The Right One In (Lina Leandersson)
Watched this one again last night. A great vampire flick. Much better than the American remake. Sub- titles and all. |
Well not on DVD but watched Trolls at the cinema with my daughter while on holiday recently. It was a great film for young kids and the music was really brilliant for grown-ups. I'd recommend it for anyone with kids aged 2-6. I think I'll probably have to sit through it a few dozen times on DVD.

The conjuring. I expected much more but it was enjoyable. Predictable however and I didn't like how the camera was directed.
