Last Movie Watched

Cinderella Man.

The wife has been wanting to see this for weeks. I was pleasantly surprised.

Crowe, Zellweger, Giamatti were all great.

Based on the true story of boxer James J. Braddock, but me not being a boxing fan, I had no idea how this movie would end.

I never liked the title. Turns out it was taken from Damon Runyan's description of Braddock (I still don't like it! ;))

I just saw HAVOC over the weekend. Let me tell ya it was okay, but the drawing point....NUDITY
Ya get to see Anne Hathaway topless, and some of Bijou Philips. How great is that
 
Double feature in Century City last night: The Hills Have Eyes & The Shaggy Dog laugh:
 
Saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night with the wife.

Decent movie, but it seemed as if there was too much information and not enough time. I don't think any director could have filled that much info into 3 a hour movie, sorta like Hearts in Atlantis.
The book must have been more interesting with more of the details.
 
Went to see Failure to Launch yesterday. Pretty decent as a lightweight flick. There was, however, one very funny and seemingly very improbable scene which you would think could never happen in a million years... except I happen to know from a news article I read (and posted) a few weeks back that someone actually has done this. Bizarre scene.

Avalanche of **** indeed.
 
I did not think Pulp Fiction was all it was cracked up to be either



Last movie I saw was Curious George

I remember that legendary thread....good stuff.

For the record, Reservoir Dogs does seem to get worse each viewing but still a good movie. Pulp Fiction is great...but that was Tarantino's pinnacle and everything he's done since then sucked.
 
At least he only does a sucky movie every now and then, not 5 sucky movies per year.

Yeah, you could say he's a hack in a way... but if you put what he does into context (and he'd admit what he does), it kind of makes sense in the same way cover songs and sampling do in music.

absosmurfly! sampling is EXACTLY what i'd compare him to.

that being said though, there are some absolutely brilliant sampling magicians out there. but i consider Quentin of the variety of those who take a pre-existing notion, and running with it. like Mariah (Tom Tom Club jack) and Puffy (Police jack).

I watched "Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom" (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring) last night around 230am.

Very good movie. I'm sure adgy has seen it. That Asian lady is oh so yummy!

That is an EXCELLENT movie. Kim Ki-Duk has quickly become one of my favorite filmmakers over the last 6 months. Check out 3-Iron. It's amazing.

Adgy,

1) Did you love Munich solely for the direction, or was the writing and acting good too?

2) Ken Watanabe kicks ass.

3) Do I have to go to some indy-video store to find Oldboy?

1) Well, the movie was VERY Spielberg. But I thought pretty much everything was great about it. I think Eric Bana is one of the best actors in the world.

2) **** yeah he does. I need to get my hands on more of his old school ****.

3) Maybe. I know when it first came out, Blockbuster and Hollywood were carrying it, but I have no idea if they still are. Unless you're talking about buying it. In which case, I have seen it at Best Buy a few times. And ANY video store can order it for you if they don't have it in stock.

Had to go to IMDB for this, but yeah. Unbreakable, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, The Long Kiss Goodnight (guilty pleasure)... man... I could have sworn he had done more good movies, but I guess I was wrong...

As for Tarantino... woo, that's a big topic for me. Maybe expand on it later. But I love his movies. LOVE.

Samuel L. Jackson was amazing in Coming to America.
