What movie did you watch last night? (10 Viewers)

[washingcattle]

The Girl With The Dragon Blah Blah - bad,very bad. Mostly scenes of gratuitous horribleness interspersed with people looking at computer screens. And about one hour too long. And completely pointless. And easily the worst film Fincher has done. And annoying. And really boring. And bad, did I say bad already?

Benjamaine Button ?

I didn't think it was that bad actually, there is a gulf in class between Fincher and the material he's working with though. Fincher has the skill to do most things but making a prepsterously bad novel into anything other than a bad movie was is beyond even him. Still I turned my brain off and enjoyed looking at it.

Oh I havent seen Benjamin Button. I'll take your word for it on that.

The thing is though .... I didn't think Girl was all that visually interesting either ... Which I expected it to be.

 

[Cormcolash]

I haven't seen Benjamin Button either.
For a good reason.
It's shit.

Fight Club isn't that good a book.

 

[washingcattle]

Different kind of book though. Actually I should have said that the writing in general isn't very good. The screenplay for Fight Club is pretty great in fairness, I think Chuck Palminuik said that the film was a lot beter than the book. The screenplay for GWTDT is pretty standard but you can tell that someone with a fair whack of skill is behind the camera.

That's probably just me though.

Alien and Aliens

Fred the Hammer Williamson is running a vigilante gang. His buddy Robert Forster's wife confronts a bunch of creeps and punks (according to the Dirty Harry definition of punk). You may have an idea of how things go down. Possibly should be called Vigilantes plural as there are several. Great opening scene where Mr. Hammer has a monologue about how the world has gone to shit. A William Lustig film.

In which Mr Hammer Williamson is up against the Mob and the System, and also directs. Also featuring such notable types as John Saxon, Ed Lauter, Richard Roundtree, Joe Spinell and D'Urville Martin. The kind of thing you'd enjoy while watching and probably have completely forgotten five minutes later.

Tom Selleck finds a painting of witches being burned, one of whom is the head off his wife. Things proceed much as you'd expect.

I watched:

It was alright. Pretty standard, nothing new, but I do really really like both Felicity Jones (though her character was boring as fuck) and Jessica Brown Findlay... you know it was a decent movie, but not overly memorable.

 

[Cryptid]

Exit Through The Gift Shop. Good movie. The central character is a bit of a pillock, but Banksy and the other street artists' stories are entertaining.

 

[Jill Hives]

This was horrible and I think stars George McFly.... (I'm running out of things to rent)

 

[ratmonkey]

Udo Kier as an apprentice witchfinder apprenticed to Herbert Lom, who turns out to be less concerned with actually finding witches than with being up to no good.

Also there's some bizarro shit like an eye gouging being represented by crayon drawn flashes and a bit where a prison henchman tries to make a marionette using a live rabbit.

Videodrome, never saw it before. Class

I keep thinking I'm going to like films with Juno Temple in them, but I keep watching terrible films as a result. Saw this a few months back and though it was brutal.

[ilovehoovering]

I didn't have high hopes for this but I really enjoyed it. Thumbs up.

Australian modern-day western with Vinny from Home and Away as a cop on his first day in a small town, also the day an escaped prisoner is heading back to said town for revenge on the cops who put him away, Goose from Mad Max being the chief. Also there is a panther. Very good.

Hitman kitchen sink horror, or something along those lines. Good but not all it's hyped up to be.
