Last movie you watched......

It's a guilty pleasure. It's fun. Not great cinema. In no way believeable, but fun.

 

Just posted this on the movies thread, but what the hell:

Just saw "Seven Pounds." Pretty good flick, though it wasn't too hard to figure out what was going to happen. Despite figuring it all out pretty quickly, it was enjoyable going along for the ride.

My only real complaint is that they spent so much time focused on the Emily/Ben relationship that the other characters got short shrift. MILD SPOILER BELOW!!!!!!


















The way they established how two of the characters were good people was rather simplistic. We got almost an entire movie discovering what kind of person Emily was, and we got two scenes that lasted probably a grand total of three minutes to find out about Ezra and the hockey coach.





SPOILER OVER

Anyway, I give it three out of five stars. Pretty good, definitely worth renting, but not a must-see.

 

The Puffy Chair. What a piece of shit. Worst movie I've seen in a LONG time. And it was supposedly "loved" at Sundance. Liars. It's shit.

 

X-Files: I Want to Believe. Had its moments, but felt tired. Duchovny in a beard doesn't cut it, and Gillian Anderson was hardly recognizable.

 

I watched The Assasination Of Richard Nixon last night.
Great performance by Penn in a very compelling, strange little movie.

 

Broad expressions of taste at Sundance can be "exotic". Some good stuff comes out of there that might not see the light of day, otherwise, but approval there is not an automatic indicator of extended glory.

 

Crazy Love. A documentary about a really weird, up-and-down, headline-grabbing relationship between Burt Pugach and Linda Riss. Fascinating.

 

Is that the one with the guy who looks vaguely like Jim from The Office?

 

Yes! Sweet Christ, someone else watched it. It's horrid.

I wanted to punch the gf in the face. Repeatedly. And then kick her in the spleen. There wasn't a likeable person in the film.

 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Good stuff.

 

He would have enjoyed the movie more if he had inhaled.

 

Saw Role Models tonight. Very underrated, very funny. McLovin was terrific.
