Last movie you watched?

Last one I completed was Keep the Lights On, been looking forward to it for awhile and quite liked it. On a slightly less 'professional' note, the leads made, for me, a ridiculously cute couple. :lol:

Since then, however, I've been watching an older film, La Roue, and watched the first half last night but put off finishing it 'cause it was getting late by the time I had done so. May watch the rest of it tonight or during the day tomorrow before returning it to the library.

 

I actually saw a good chunk of the movie because my sister wanted me to record it for her on the tv I was watching. I didn't expect to watch it for as long as I did, but it started to get a little weird, at least for me, so I shut it off.

 

The Breakfast Club

I always put a film on as I go to sleep and actually outlasted this one

(classic 80s)

 

Beowolf

 

Warm Bodies... cute.

 

I rewatched Before Sunrise last night for the second time and part of what I've loved about revisiting it, so far, is that I've always allowed myself considerable time before doing so. As a result, each time I've done so feels almost literally like seeing it for the first time again. Apart from that, it oddly enough made me feel better since it deals with the idea of two complete strangers meeting and getting to know each other so intimately. Odd because I've been feeling very uneasy, if not outright insecure, about my abilities in getting so close to others [minus the romance and inevitable seperation.] So, yeah.....

Sidenote [POTENTIAL SPOILERS]: Kind of freaked out a bit when toward the end of the film they're trying to figure out meeting again six months in the future and when the date will be and Jesse mentions that the previous day, which 95% of the film is set on, was 'June 16th' which was the same day I rewatched it this time. o_____o

 

Warm Bodies was the last movie I watched illegally. Amazing Spider-Man is the last movie I watched legally (checked it out from the library).

 

Pulp Fiction. Personally I found it funny (especially shooting marv in the face..I like dark humour). And it was good and interesting to watch.

 

Man of steel! Its effing awesome!

 

Henry Cavill? my thoughts exactly hehehe


I watched Hercules...in EU Portuguese

 

I've watched like 3 movies this past weekend.
Oz, the Great and Powerful. It was... far better than expectations. Still pretty bad.
V for Vendetta, for like the thousandth time. That movie is so amazing.
And Man of Steel. Was pretty good, for Supes.

 

last night i watched rubber. all i was thinking the whole time was "what the fuck am i doing to myself". i still hate my friend who recommended it.

 

Basic Instinct last night.

 

Gosh, I remember that. I saw in at the theater. Right after the very first scene, which turned violent, several people got up and walked out. Whether they got a refund or went into another theater for another movie would have been interesting to know. The movie's main weakness is that it did not indicate, even subtly, why she did the things she did, so it lacked character development ... for the main character.

 

After Earth

 

When Harry met Sally. Just quoted the thing went to sleep

 

Despicable me

 

Spirited Away :3

 

Just finished Another Year, first Mike Leigh film I've seen in awhile and one of my very favorites of his so far. The way it's structured into four segments, in accorance with the seasons from Spring to Winter, gives it a play-like feel but without being theatrical [perhaps it seems that way to me after having rewatched Vanya on 42nd Street recently and couldn't help but think there was a vaguely 'Chekhovian' flavor, whatever that means, to the Leigh film.]

As usual, he really works wonders with the actors in his films. Especially in transforming Mary from an irritating, clingy, pathetic figure to a more deeply unsettlingly empathetic one, to me at least, by the end. Personally, I guess it hit me more deeply as I can identify with her feelings to an extent, if not her actions and behavior, and overall it seemed to tap into some personal concerns that've been on my mind for quite some time.

 

A Good Day to Die Hard. Even though I had low standards going in, I was still a bit disappointed. It was mildly entertaining, but there's only so much a bunch of explosions, chases, and gunfights can do.

To me, bottom line: standalone, it was average action movie fare. When compared with the series, however, it felt tired and stale. And when compared to the original Die Hard, well, let's not even go there. If this is to be the last Die Hard movie (if possible future entries are going to be like this most recent one, then I hope it is the end), then this explosive franchise will have gone out with a whimper.
