The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)

[Mikey]

So I've seen a couple of good films this weekend.
Glengarry GlenRoss - Another intense film, however this one was one big sausage fest. I still think Alec Baldwin should have gotten an award or something for his monologue. I think Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino were really the heart of the film. Great acting, and amazing dialogue.

I love this flick. The dialog is so sharp! I guess that is because it was adapted from a play. Yeah, Alec Baldwin stole the show during his cameo monologue.
A. B. C.
A - Always.
B- Be.
C - Closing.
Always Be Closing.
ALWAYS BE CLOSING!!

David Mamet knows how to write dialogue. It's admirable.

I watched Wild Strawberries last night. What a beautiful film. Bergman definitely knows how to shoot a beautifully constructed scene. There's also a certain haunting quality in his films that I absolutely love. Just the silence of a scene says a lot. I already know why this man is brilliant and this is the second Bergman film I've watched.

Sideways.

One of my favorites.

Sideways.

One of my favorites.

me too. Paul Giamatti was perfection.

[Jacob]

I rented Sideways once and never finished it, because my girlfriend at the time whom I rented it with thought it was crap. I have only hard positive things about it after that, so maybe I should watch all of it sometime.

tonight I'm planning on watching Kick-Ass.

I'm watching Kick-Ass tonight, too.

I watched The Virgin Spring last night. Another great Bergman piece, however very depressing. Then again what story about a girl getting raped and clubbed to death isn't depressing?

Kick-Ass
- Totally fucking awesome. One of the best flicks I've seen in a while and it instantly took a place in my top 5 comic book flicks. 9.5/10.

My Bloody Valentine '09
- Meh. Nothing new here. Same ol' slasher formula. Some pretty entertaining kills though. 4/10.

The Collector - 5/10

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

I was dragged to see it with my gf and since I've never seen the original, I would say is pretty entertaining. The animation and effects are superb.

I watched Boy A last night. Great film. It was painfully heartbreaking because you actually liked this kid even though you knew what he did when he was a youngster. This movie is a reminder about humanity and that sometimes no matter how bad of a mistake we have made we can never be forgiven for it.

I had seen parts of Monsters Inc a few years back but today I finally saw it from beginning to end.  That movie is amazing.  It's certainly top 3 material in terms of Pixar movies.  It had me crying at the end.  Damn you Pixar and your amazing storytelling abilities!

Also saw Men Who Stare At Goats.  Don't bother.

[chick de la lynch]

If memory serves me correctly, I think I told you Men Who Stare At Goats wasn't worth the watch.

[Jacob]

Kick-Ass. oh. my. god. 10/10.

[oldgentlovecraft]

Four Flies on Grey Velvet
Do You Like Hitchcock?

It's Argento time...

[Sushi-X]

Avatar. Way to fucking hypd. Just a run of the mil sci fi movie

[theis]

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

Fucking weird movie, but I liked it a lot. Nicholas Cage rocked.

8/10.

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Gran Torino

10/10
