The movie you just watched

[wutang75 459]

Making my way through Korean cinema, my 4 favorites.

The Man From Nowhere - Just saw this last night and loved it. Could not recommend this more if you like action thrillers.
I Saw the Devil - A lot of people prefer this to TMFN but I think I liked TMFN more. Both are great, this one is more horror and has some crazy shit to sit through.
The Wailing - One of the best horror movies I’ve see, period.
Train to Busan - Great action horror, recommend.

Also - if you haven’t seen Red Dog, watch it with your kids.

I’m binging the Jurassic Park franchise. I’m through all except the latest one. So far I rank them thusly:

Jurassic Park

Jurassic World

JP 3

JP 2

pretty sure there were no sequels to jurassic park. it was an absolutely spectacular movie that wrapped up nicely and neatly with a serene helicopter ride away from the island. and that was it.  end of story.

The first Joe Dirt had a pretty decent soundtrack.

The Last Boy Scout.  Crude, cheesy, wholly inappropriate for the mature audiences of today.  Just a buncha scenes full of smoking, cussing and violence patched together by a surprisingly adequate plot.  Excellent movie.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

Made in 1943 (in color).  I must have read good things about it months ago when I put it on my Netflix disc queue.  When I started watching, I had a hell of a time figuring out what was going on .  The dialog happened in turbo speed.  I almost turned it off because WTF is happening?  But I stuck with it and I'm glad I did.  The movie slowed down a bit and everything started to make sense.  The movie has some very rewarding/satisfying moments throughout.  The ending was sweet as well.  They don't make movies like this any more.

The movie tells the tale of a British soldier through life's travails and numerous wars.  It's not a war movie though.  No combat footage.  It's more about the human experience (growing old, love, friendships, career, etc.).

I haven't seen every one of these but Powell and Pressburger were pretty damn good during the 40s.  The flicks after Blimp were pretty low key and then Black Narcissus and Red Shoes are two of the prettiest big technicolorish movies ever made.

• Contraband (1940)
• 49th Parallel (1941)
• One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942)
• The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
• The Volunteer (1943)
• A Canterbury Tale (1944)
• I Know Where I'm Going! (1945)
• A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
• Black Narcissus (1947)
• The Red Shoes (1948)
• The Small Back Room (1949)

Eight Men Out, saw it a long time ago. I still enjoyed it.

 

[tantric superman 4,668]

Shanghai Express (1932)   This really was a pretty movie - gorgeous lighting and cool tracking shots.  Simple plot but it was very captivating and Marlene Dietrich was throwing down a vibe.  I need to watch some other Josef von Sternberg flicks.

[huge 3,825]

Watched this sweet bastard last night

[Parliament 14,559]

Crimson Tide.  I thought for a long time this was just another forgettable sub movie, and I was wrong.  The nuances of Hackman v Washington are very deep.  Neither guy was right and neither guy was wrong.  But outside of that, Washington wasn't a very good XO.  Didn't "mold" himself to his captain.  If they never got that order to fire, they still woulda conflicted.

[RPM 26,560]

Fort Apache

There was nothing interesting on so I dove into the dvr and way down deep was Fort Apache. No doubt why I had it on keep. This is one of those very few perfect films. Everyone gives stellar performances, including the location. BTW, Shirley Temple was 17 and her new husband John Agar (in his debut) was 24.

[RPM 26,560]

Since we've taken a John Agar detour, I just wanted to clarify he was a real piece of shit. Rode her skirt into prime acting roles, beat the fuck out of her when he was drunk and cheated on her. He was quickly relegated to Poverty Row films.

[GringoSalado 1,652]

For the Love of the Game.

 

Meh. Entire movie was about a chick, not about baseball.

[Continental Op 3,934]

Revisited Risky Business, which I watched at an inappropriately young age back in the 80s. Not that great. 

[tantric superman 4,668]

Kes (1969)

Ever since I saw "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" I wanted to see some more Ken Loach, and I think I finally got around to seeing this.  This reminded me of an after school special made by really moody people.  The flick starts out with some sweet little music and you say to yourself - Furk, this is not going to turnout well.  It's like a Hallmark Movie's evil twin.   "Kitchen sink realism."

But it really works, even though you can't understand a word these South Yorkshire blokes say.  The school scenes are fantastic and over the top.  

 

[Mo Horn 8,933]

Had veteran's day off and watched 3 movies. Motherless Brooklyn - good, but could have been better; Richard Jewell - liked it better than I thought I would; The Gentlemen - best of the 3.

[DonkeyCigars 143]

Had never seen it and didn't realize it was so old already (2011), but saw the Rom-Com, historical piece "The Help". I laughed, I cried. It was a good time.

[Continental Op 3,934]

The Velvet Vampire.  A hippie couple meets a pretty lady at an art gallery and agree to go to her desert estate for the weekend within five minutes of meeting her.   She watches them bang through a one way mirror while holding a skull and vampire hijinks ensure.  Not good, even on the "Roger Corman produced this" scale but there's lots of boobs.  

[GringoSalado 1,652]

 

Damn son. I barely like watching good acting. Have some rep.

[bernorange 8,385]

I couldn't even finish watching that trailer for VV.  The mystery of how C-Op watched the entire movie befuddles my mind.

Once I start watching something I usually stick it out.  I'm a masochist that way.

First movie i have seen in theater in 9 months. Wasn't earth shattering, but decent.

Rewatched Meatballs yesterday.  Bill Murray had some supremely Bill Murray moments in that movie.

If you're blowing through the early Hitchcock stuff on Criterion, go with 39 Steps next if you haven't seen it.

The 39 Steps - 1935 

Life would be so great if everyone just agreed to do everything half-assed.  "I'll handcuff you two together and then I'll walk away.  Don't scootch out of the car and runaway, because then I won't be able to find you."

Hitchcock is funny as hell, and this one was funny as hell.  I've still yet to fall head over heals for a Htichcock flick.  I think Shadow of a Doubt gave me the biggest smiles so far.

[mininghorn88 2,330]

Just watched "Easy Living" starring Victor Mature released in 1949.  It also stars Lizabeth Scott and Lucille Ball. In this drama Mature is a football star that is trying to hang on despite having a heart condition.  His wife is constantly nagging him.  She likes the fame and fortune but does not like the potential of life without all that comes with the glory.  Lucille Ball is the team secretary that has a crush on him.  It shows old football which is always a bonus for me.

The scene that kills me is towards the end of the movie he slaps his wife pretty hard.  He tells her that she deserved it and she acknowledges that she does as well.  Of course they embrace and live happily ever after.

[RPM 26,560]

Rock the Kasbah 

Plot holes? More than bomb craters in Afghanistan. But, Bill Murray riffing his ass off with Kate Hudson providing T&A is definitely worth watching. Especially if you are very high.

First Cow

A refreshing, very well done period piece set in Oregon in the nineteenth century.  Sedately paced and an exquisite job of creating atmosphere with a cast of mostly unknowns.  Lots of candlelit interiors and gurgling river scenes.  An unlikely pair of characters drives the plot.  Strongly recommend.

I’m sure in this many pages it’s been mentioned already, so FUIAP but....

”Tread” about a small town outsider who had a grudge against the longtime power base in his town and exacted his pound of flesh in dramatic fashion.

[SPOILER BELOW]
 

 

 

 

 

I thought the documentary maker did a great job of guiding down the path of “Oh, this is a solid dude who got fucked over” in the beginning, but then “Oh, this dude is batshit paranoid crazy” toward the end

[Fud 9,697]

Tigers Are Not Afraid- Really interesting movie that borrows heavily (probably too much) from my favorite movie, Pan's Labyrinth. If it were a little more polished and if it throttled down a tad on a certain aspect, it'd be a 10. I think it's only streamable on the Shudder channel. Short runtime at around 83 minutes. 8.5/10.

[tantric superman 4,668]

Burnt Orange Heresy (2019)

Not a single UT reference.  I didn't like it, although it started with promise (maybe that in itself is a UT reference).  Did make you realize that Mick Jagger could have had a full film career playing British assholes.

[tantric superman 4,668]

Make Way for Tomorrow (1937)

The saddest movie ever made.  Quality but Jesus it was depressing.  Old couple loses house and none of the grown kids want to take them.

"Why don't you watch happier movies?", asks my wife.  "Why don't you watch one of my Hallmark Christmas movies?"

We both smile fake Hallmark smiles back at each other.

Driveways (2019)

Basically a farewell to Brian Dennehy, and in that sense, pretty depressing.

Really didn't have much of a kick.
