Bringing Up Baby - every film should have a cheetah
Deja Vu - a little less cracked-out than I like my Tony Scott, but enjoyable

― milo (milo), Monday, 27 November 2006 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

I'm halfway through both Little Children and Half Nelson. I may not finish the first one, because it's retarded. The second one is not a great movie, but I'll bite the hype on Gosling (though he was better in The Notebook).

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 27 November 2006 01:00 (nineteen years ago)

Heat
liked it a lot better the second time

― dmr, Monday, 27 November 2006 04:00 (nineteen years ago)

for your consideration - so tired of guest movies. would have liked to see the whole movie of 'home for purim' instead!

― tehresa (tehresa), Monday, 27 November 2006 04:03 (nineteen years ago)

saw this terrible bank hiest movie with my parnts staring denzel washinghton anyway it was nonsensical except for the fact that the banl robbers were dressed like big audio dynamite\
BIG
OWOWAUDIO
DYNAMITE

still relevent.

BORAT (yes!)
TEH DEPARTED (yesss!!!)

Also saw For Your Consideration. Best thing about it was the fake ET segments w/ Fred Willard & Jane Lynch. I think they took the supersize cast thing too far with this one. And I hope Catherine O'Hara didn't really get botox.

Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

bueno

― grbchv!, Monday, 27 November 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Saw and liked both Volver and the new documentary about Jonestown this weekend.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

For Your consideration - ambiguous reaction. Pacing - really weird. Fred Willard - comedy gold.

If he'd never made Best In Show, it'd be the best of his modern crop of stuff, though.

timecop starring denzel washington

― this is cutty (mcutt), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

I kind of get the feeling someone was hoping Catherine O'Hara would get Oscar nominated for her part in this movie, it will be funnier when she doesn't.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

saw fast food nation movie - liked
saw william eggleston in the real world dvd - wanted to like more
saw los angeles plays itself at the egyptian (saw it at film forum when it came out) - still great, sadly still not on dvd

Yeah, I can't imagine doing this. Then again, I don't have the luxury to do this with new releases like MR. FILM CRITIC over here.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

If it's good enough for Farber, it's good enough for me.

Anyway, it's not like we're talking about Lynch here. This is pretty much artless Academy-bait here.

― MR. FILM CRITIC (Eric H.), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

who are you

― this is cutty (mcutt), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

oh, I'd stop Lost Highway frequently. I didn't know Manny F did that, but he IS 90 years old!

The novel Little Children ain't bad, but I'm not surprised Todd Field blew it up to Oscarbait.

I don't know where to read Mr. Film Critic these days.

― Grandpa Noise, Monday, 27 November 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

FOOD & INTIMACY; twenty minutes from canadian televison. awesome.

Oh shit, forgot!!...

Hard Candy - I kind of loved this movie.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

infernal affairs, post-'departed'. it doesn't hold up, too much musical interlude corny bullshit.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

Little Children and Half Nelson will both prob be in my top 10 this year, with the latter near the very top.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

I picked up Bringing Up Baby at Tower and it's not quite as good as I remembered (or My Cousin Vinny), but maybe it's just the ownership effect. Silver City did its predictable (though rapidly diminishing) Sayles sense-of-place thing on me, and Chris Cooper's Bush impression was tiresome for as long as I resisted compartmentalizing it (not too long), but Danny Huston was novel enough, the costumes ruled most movies, and the girls were pretty in a very uncinematic way.

― nuneb (nuneb), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

is little children actually good? it looks so beyond awful.

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

I'm a sucker for movies like that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:54 (nineteen years ago)

speaking of beyond awful: my roommate brought home Lucky # Slevin. worth my time? worth my time....ON WEED?

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

a good rule of thumb is to avoid any movie featuring josh hartnett.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:08 (nineteen years ago)

fuck those movies!

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:13 (nineteen years ago)

tho i'd probably take them over anything he's done post '99

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

i'd take those movies over the da vinci code. which no one should ever have to watch. don't even start watching it and start ffwding and stopping and ffwding again to the main ian mckellan bit, which is okay b/c of him, and then ffwding again because there is nothing to ffwd to. i think it contributed to my crappy do-nothing mood of last week.

saw some good shorts at resfest on friday though (these were them - the thing about shorts is that even if they're great, they're not exactly well-advertised or well-distributed :( i guess youtube is helping though.

need to see 'the departed'

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:23 (nineteen years ago)

Amelie was pretty hot whilst threatening the albino, the only not-bad thing about it aside from McKellen.

But even the movie isn't as bad as the newish pre-movie commercials they're running where Ron Howard talks about all the deep, hidden symbols they introduced into the movie, illustrated by random flashes of gold accent. Apparently one of the airline logos was meant to help you unlock the mystery of Mary's cooch.

― milo (milo), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

Slevin is not beyond awful but it was not good either. imo.

― dmr, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

Hopefully this will put an end for once and for all to this strange business about my being a film critic.

I'll give you Nelson, jmc, but the pool scene in Little Children was the last straw on that one.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 02:12 (nineteen years ago)

The pool scene was masterful.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 06:24 (nineteen years ago)

When it was a shark instead of a sex pervert and it wasn't a pool at all but a beach on Amity Island, maybe.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 06:46 (nineteen years ago)

Having finished the other half of Nelson, my take on it miraculously didn't change from before. Who says piecemeal viewing distorts one's impression?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

Too bad Gosling's long-"deserved" hype had to wait for a condescending liberal b.s. vehicle to be birthed (I'll stick with the Jewish Nazi movie & The Slaughter Rule).

Eric, what about Armond's crazy "Bush as America's coach" passage.

I couldn't tell if he was noting that idea or advocating it. In any case, a bit whatev to him.

I wanted to see John, the superprivileged super-snooty guy in that group of three, but he refused to show. He probably realized how badly he was coming across compared to the realer real lives of the others. I hope he shows up in 35-42-49.

He does, but [VAGUE SPOILER] he's kind of an opportunist about it.

― dar1a g (dar1a g), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

The Sacrifice doesn't add up (I had some complicated theory about why the guy had to act anyway even if not necessary.. eh.. probably overthinking) but has a few nice set pieces.. the documentary about the making-of is neat b/c the burning house at the end didn't work on the first take and they only had one more chance to get it right. Stalker is far better but damn, does it go on and on and on..

The Beastmaster, a childhood favorite. Held up better than I expected. Rip Torn in a prosthetic nose and skull-and-crossboned pigtails helped.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

The Man Who Fell to Earth (also w/ Rip Torn! as Bowie's driver)

was expecting an arty b-flick but not so much sexxxploitation type stuff. the gun / sex scene was total Lynch, looked straight outta Wild At Heart. v. weird movie.

Silent Hill (well, the first 45 minutes) - KIND OF REALLY BORING. Not enough fucked up monsters. Dyke cop in leather is hawt tho. Also apparently someone gets skinned at the end so I am going to have to finish this at some point.

Watching tonight probably:

yeah i watched that w/my parents when i was about 15. (we rented it on videodisc!) sex stuff majorly awkward. after the gun scene my mom was like, "um, you know that's not normal sex..." and i was all "DUH, mom!" (don't know what she was worried about, we didn't even own any guns.)
