What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[McMurdo]

Probably my favorite movie of all time.

"Fezzick, are there rocks ahead?"
"If there are, we'll all be dead!"
"No more rhymes now, I mean it!
"Anybody want a peanut?"

Yeah there were so many great things about it
Fezzik: "I'm on the Brute Squad"
Miracle Max: "You are the Brute Squad"

Silver Linings Playbook. A surprisingly excellent movie! Recommend for sure. I've never been a big Bradley Cooper fan, but he really surprised me in this one. Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) blew me away. I'd love to hear what others think.

Quantum of Solace. Now I know there is really not any love for this Bond movie, and on certain aspects, I fully agree that it's shoddy -*Spoilers* - the whole plot that revolves around an organization bent on having control of as much water as they can comes off as, well, dumb. BUT, I like Quantum for Bond's character arc, and how he deals with the aftermath of Casino Royale - most notably of Vesper's death. It's a darker side of Bond - how revenge colors his every move, even up to how he uses women and disregards them so easily to their fates (as seen by his treatment of Agent Fields) but I find it interesting that he doesn't end up in the sack with Camille. She is more on his level with her inner demons - they are both seeking revenge, and tend to go about it the same way.

I also think it made a very good point about how shady the world of politics is - how 'good' governments have to deal with bad people all the time, how morality is blurred time and time again.

Anyway, I watched it last night again with a more critical eye to these aspects of the film instead of the rather bizarre plot with the "Quantum" group. Maybe it's the fiction writer in me that wanted to come out and play. lol

The Saint's Double Trouble 1940. Bela Lugosi looked great in his fedora!

 

[The Good]

The Deer Hunter, starring Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken. It was good, but long. I think the first 1/3 of the movie was mostly the bar and wedding scenes. It's strength was in the latter 2/3s.

Night at the Museum.

 

[Widebrim]

Sleep, My Love (1948, Triangle Productions), with Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, Robert Cummings, George Coulouris, Ralph Morgan, Keye Luke, Raymond Burr, and Hazel Brooks. Kind of an updated Gaslight, and Ameche underplays, but I'm a Cummings fan, and the rest of the cast is great.

^^Yeah...And she showed those legs off in the film...

 

[McMurdo]

Watching The Winning Team from 1952, Doris Day and Ronald Reagan. It seemed like your run of the mill baseball story until Regan's character descends into alcoholism.

The Spirit.
The first 20 minutes anyway. What a load of rubbish they did to that. I was really hoping the critics were exaggerating. Blech.

No, they were right, it is a very bad flick.
