What is the last movie you've seen? Part 2

Beyond Clueless, an analysis of the true nature of teen movies.

The Battle of Algiers (1966)

I forgot how unrelenting and grim this movie was. I really wish there were more war movies like it.

Rewatched the original version of Like Water for Chocolate after about twenty years. Rather more Mills and Boon than I remembered it, but still love the food elements. I think magic realism is primarily a literary genre, film is less magical because it is someone else's vision of the magic, but this is one of the better film versions of a magical realist novel.

[The Two Jerseys]

The King and I.

Boy, they sure cleaned up the darker elements of the story...

[The Brand New Salvatagard Republic]

Angry Birds.

[Deutschen Demokratischen Republic]

Girls und Panzer Der Film. Mainly because I have too much time to waste.

[Jochizyd Republic]

Executioners from Shaolin

Highly recommend. It's absolutely hilarious.

The Battle of Algiers (1966)

I forgot how unrelenting and grim this movie was. I really wish there were more war movies like it.

Incredible war film. One of the best ever made.

Heaven Can Wait (1943). Charming, but frankly not one of Lubitsch's better films.

[Adytus]

Alright, finally saw the Shining. Wow. That Jack, man.

[Barboneia]

The Conjuring 2. I liked it a lot, especially its English setting. I liked it more than the first one.

[Frank Zipper]

Baraka, it's a good film for stoners.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Revenant, was pretty good, the opening scenes especially were really well done.

[Hollorous]

Fury (2014)

I like a good "squad" war movie. Basically a movie that focuses on a bunch of guys in the middle of a war (usually the conflict World War II and typically only the USA/USSR/Russia make these sort of movies). This one was a very stylish cliche storm though. I marginally enjoyed it, but the finale was too Rambo for me.

So Wardaddy says he promised to keep his men alive, but he decides to put up an arguably unnecessary last stand at the drop of a hat, so the movie can have a big climatic action set piece. That's even worse than the "protect the bridge" climax of Saving Private Ryan

[Ngelmish]

House of Games (1987). Ultimately it won me over, but the acting style and the script were both definitely a lot more stilted than I was expecting, considering the film's reputation.

[G-A]

The Room (2003). "Oh hi Mark!"

[The Two Jerseys]

Gunga Din (1939), with Cary Grant.

[Elykyellek]

The Conjuring 2

[BIteland]

Just saw Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it's super cool https://tldrmoviereviewsblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/13/movie-review-hunt-for-the-wilderpeople/

Jurassic Park (1993) I just recently read the book, and the differences really confused me. Especially the ending the differences reminded me of the first edition book of Star Wars and Star Wars a new hope

I've always felt they made a mistake going family friendly. An R-rated book deserves an R-rated movie (and Dennis Nedry deserves to be disemboweled onscreen).

Watched Captain America: Civil War over the weekend. Marvel's got a better track record of letting their heroes get shit done than DC so far, but they screwed the pooch on this one... when the main villain does nothing but orchestrate prison breaks for the entire movie, you put him in the ground, not a cell. It's not vengeance, just logic. Still, otherwise it's three-quarters of a great action movie and probably Marvel's most quotable movie yet so I can't bring myself to shave off more than one point for a single quibble. 9/10

A Countess from Hong Kong (1967)

[Adab]

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on TV. Great and exciting film, even if it seems rather improbable sometimes.

[Frank Zipper]

Powder Room, its origins as a stage play were a bit too clear, and the MMDA lesbianism seemed a bit gratuitous.

[Hollorous]

Pitch Black (2000)

I can see why Vin Diesel became a star after that movie. He owns pretty much every scene he's in. The movie itself is an above average sci-fi/horror that follows in the footsteps of Aliens. First half dragged on too long, second half was pretty good.

[Ngelmish]

A Few Good Men (1992)
