Last Good Movie You Saw

The Social Network was actually as good as people made it out to be. Most of the time I'm put off by highly acclaimed films. It's the reverse reaction because I'm use to being let down, to a small degree.

 

I was worried it would be one-sided, but it really showed the dickery of each individual, like a true prologue to any business venture. I reminds me of Pirates of Silicon Valley, which is a great film on the rise of Apple and Microsoft.

I finally got to see Rubber last night after the trailer thread hyped it up so much. Remarkable film, I think people are gonna be pretty surprised once they see it. The story is actually driven by the directors need to give the audience something to do (this is actually personified in the film), and so it becomes this whole big self parody that just sort of ridicules all aspects of film making and viewing. My buddy and I were in stitches the whole time. I'd recommend watching it with a friend; it's quite interactive. There were a bunch of times when we'd comment about the movie, only to have one of the characters in the film reassure what we said shortly thereafter. The self-awareness is just through the roof.

YES! This gives me high hopes. I showed the trailer to a friend the other day and we couldn't stop laughing the entire time. I can't wait to see it!

 

Otherwise, I managed to watch all 10 Best Picture nominees before the Oscars. Sooooo many good films; Black Swan, The Social Network, The King's Speech, Winter's Bone, and 127 Hours definitely were my Top 5. All such fantastic cinema in their own right. The others were p great movies as well, just not as brilliant as the others.

Between last night and this morning I watched two great films.

 

The first was City Girl. This was F. W. Murnau's last silent film and last film he made in the US.

The Blu-Ray was AMAZING! This is why I upgraded from DVD. :D

 

Then today while I waited for my migraine meds to kick in I watched a Buster Keaton classic: Steamboat Bill Jr. This film was actually the inspiration for the legendary Mickey Mouse cartoon, Steamboat Willie.

I finally gotten around to watch Howl's Moving Castle. Late, I know. :P

I've listen to the soundtrack for a long time before this and man, the soundtrack sound so much better when you have watched the movie. I have to say that Sophie is one of the most interesting leads from the Ghibli's films I have seen.

My fiancee is walking down the aisle to that very theme on our wedding day. :D

 

I watched the Disney classic, Pinocchio. I forgot just how dark that film gets at times, especially the scene where the donkeys are rounded up. I know the book takes it a step further but damn! I remember that scaring the crap out of me as a kid and it's still disturbing now. Good way to scare the little kids into doing good.

Big Lebowski is brilliant, Dean :D

I can't imagine how anyone could possibly not enjoy the hell out of it.

 

Anyway, I recently got around to watching Tron: Legacy

Didn't have huge expectations seeing as I had watched the original only a few years ago and found it kinda boring.

But I actually enjoyed it a lot. I kinda regret not seeing it in theaters/3D.

 

And now I can't stop listening to the movie's soundtrack. Daft Punk really did an awesome job scoring it.

Big Lebowski is probably the movie that makes me laugh the most every single time I watch it. The jokes are so clever they just don't seem to get old.

This was really good. It's all done in first person perspective of this guy who dies and then his soul floats around and he watches what happens in the days after he dies and has flashbacks to other points in his life. It's not exactly the feel-good-movie of the summer; it's one of the more uncomfortable movies I've watched in recent memory, but it's damn good if you can stomach it.
