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

[Olwe]

The Head and Shoulders feature length also known as Evolution.

Didn't they use Selsun Blue in that movie?

Anyway, last movie I watched is a horror flick called Lumberjack Man. It's pretty good if you like old school horror, especially if you don't mind it a bit campy... more T&A than I expected, satisfyingly gruesome deaths (including some inventive ones... at one point a woman is beaten to death with a giant pancake and yes, you read that right) and unexpectedly brilliant comedy bits including the most memorable onscreen food fight since Blazing Saddles. I had one hell of a great time watching this one. 10/10

They talked about it alot in the movie so no to Selsun Blue, is that also a shampoo and conditioner brand?

I saw Exodus of Gods and Kings yesterday.

[Frank Zipper]

Looper, I rather like it.

[Oultremer]

13 days, never seen it before. I thought it was good. Nice acting from the cast, nice Boston accents too, at least for me seeing as I'm not American.

[Oultremer]

Munich never seen it before.
Interesting movie about events I did not know much.

[Philjia]

The last movie I saw was Your Name. It's bloody brilliant. It's like an unhinged mix of

Whisper of the Heart, Freaky Friday, and Donnie Darko

that somehow manages to be heartfelt, poignant, and genuinely funny. It's also beautifully animated. See it, and on the biggest screen you can.

Huh. I stand corrected. And yes, Selsun Blue is the competing dandruff control shampoo... archnemesis to Head & Shoulders, I guess you could say. I thought for sure that was what they used in Evolution, but apparently I was wrong. I've been quoting this movie during the wrong product's commercials for 10+ years now.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Beware the Slenderman.

I had a fear that it was going to be "T3H NEW INTWEB MEDIDA R EBIL" kinda thing.

That fear was unjustified thankfully. It was a very good documentary that didn't blame the internet.

[Frank Zipper]

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - I saw it a few times on TV when I was a kid, so I had only ever seen it in black and white. Seeing it colour for the first time was a revelation, it's a work of art, a thing of beauty.

[Frank Zipper]

Beau Geste, the Gary Cooper version. Another film I saw a lot when I was a child.

[Karamiko]

Spaceballs.

[Ban Pho]

National Treasure

[Frank Zipper]

Stonehearst Asylum, didn't like it much, all a bit overdone for my tastes. Jim Sturgess doesn't so much act as do a Biggles impression.

[Ngelmish]

Did a back to back Cold War themed viewing of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1965) and Torn Curtain (1966) last night, both very good films. The latter especially, I think is unfairly labeled as one of Hitchcock's worse films. While it wouldn't crack a top 10 list, Hitch made many lesser films.

Then for something completely different I saw Fassbinder's World on a Wire (1973) today. It's a bit atypical for Fassbinder in terms of pace and genre trappings, but it just may be his masterpiece. His style becomes somehow more impressive when it just wanders through an alien world.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Girl with all the gifts.

I liked it, thought it was a decent film, though i seem to be in the minority in that regard based on what ive seen other people online say.

[Reino do Brazil]

The Silence

[Crimoriak]

Some Chinese movie in which involved a guy getting kicked out of some place and then fighting people with over the top martial arts.

[Partybus]

I am currently burning through my Mel Brooks box set, in chronological order, one per day.

So far...

The Twelve Chairs- "C'mon brain!"

Blazing Saddles- "Where the white women at?"

Young Frankenstein- "What hump?"

[Novoserbistan]

Point Blank (1967)

A marvelous movie! It is very surreal and most of the story does not make sense if you try to analyze it, but that only makes it more wonderful.

10/10

If only John Ford could have made Fort Apache and Rio Grande in color as well...

Agreed, I don't see how Torn Curtain can be so maligned when Hitch made something like Under Capricorn, which I found to be practically unwatchable. And I hear that Jamaica Inn is somehow even worse than that...

Anyway, today for me it was The Wicked Lady (1945), with Margaret Lockwood, James Mason, and Patricia Roc. A bored 17th century aristocratic lady seeks excitement by becoming a highwayman.

I honestly want to like it because of the above-title cast and the beautiful costumes, but at the end of the day it's really just an adaptation of a trashy romance novel...

[Cosie]

What We Do In The Shadows (2014)

A documentary about a band of vampires living together in a house in present-day New Zealand. Really loved the scenes involving the police or the werewolves.

[Frank Zipper]

Monument Men, it was okay but never really hit the sweet spot.

[Frank Zipper]

Haywire, good action sequences, but the rest is a bit meh.

Yakuza Apocalypse, almost totally incomprehensible.

[Cthulhus Second Horde]

Apocalypse Now
Good but kind of disturbing

I'll go to bat for Torn Curtain any day of the week; it's very entertaining and the performances are great. Yes, from a plot perspective most of the film is obviously a bit stupid, but that doesn't stop anyone from loving North by Northwest.

Anyway, watched To Kill a Mockingbird for the first time since I was a child. It's simply not as effective as the novel is, but it's about as good as it probably could be and holds up as a movie worth seeing at some point.
