Thread: Last Movie Watched

Caught In Bruges today and I thought it was fantastic. Funny spots, serious spots, and some action too. Warning: there are 3 (4?) extremely graphic scenes in this one. It has shuffled onto my very early Top 10 2008 list with Cloverfield.

A lot better than I thought it was going to be

Just saw a couple of excellent films



I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Daniel Day-Lewis gave an absolutely brilliant performance. At times he was terrifying, other times he made you feel for his character. Lewis should win the Oscar.



Wow - Tommy Lee Jones with another brilliant performance. I loved him in No Country for Old Men, and he was great in this film as well. The story was very powerful and tragic - really struck a chord with me.

I highly recommend both films.

Wow - I can't remember the last time I was so taken by a film. Enormously powerful and gripping. Just a little warning - it's an extremely raw film, and some of the scenes are very unsettling and disturbing, and it's definitely not for everyone. But if you can handle it, this is one hell of a gem of a movie.

Concur. I've never been much of a Gregg Araki fan (although I want to re-watch his older stuff again), but I really liked this movie.

Wanted to see what teh fuss was about:




Pretty good acting, and it kept our interest throughout--but flawed and certainly not a great movie.

I really need to catch up here and get some better stuff in my queue....

Great to watch on Blu-Ray.

In the 'offthebeatenpath' category...first of all the link to the review above is pretty spot on...and sadly, so far this dvd is only available as an indonesian import(cheap though)on e-bay(under 15 bones) so all you all-region dvd fans who are looking to add to your collection could do much worse...

I am a sucker for any movie w/ Gary Oldman and even though he is pretty restrained in this...still fun to watch. Sort-of an ambiguous ending...that's my only real complaint...but the un-ease throughout is pretty good. It's basically the kinda flick you feel like you need a shower after watching.

Whoa! I had no idea that had been released on DVD anywhere yet! Thanks for the heads up, bro!
