rate the last film you watched

I gave it a 6 for editing and connecting scenes during the first hour and the performances are good; BUT it feels like two different films to me, after he stops seing Mrs Robinson it turns into something completely different than the first part. I can't be the only one who thinks so.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969. [10]


Can only agree in the praise its got lately on here. I love these types of movies. A simple story about life told through the small things of life.
Quite a charming bunch of guys in there and I liked the lady too.

"Who are those?" was an ingenious way of putting it.
8,5/10 I'm sure I'll watch this movie again.

layer cake (2004)

6/10


grumpy noel makes a quick cameo and very enjoyable documentary, Banksy is a genius love his work but the art world is nothing but a bunch of disease

HORRIBLE THING TO DO. think ill put it on and start watching it past the hr mark. then cry like a girl. go to bed after that.

The Graduate is a top 10 of all time for me. Sure the ending is unrealistic & over the top when compared to what comes before it but I really don't care, it's about as close to a perfect film as you can get for my money. I think Ana should have 10 films taken off her total for such an outrage. This is worse than what the Mex said about Fargo by far!

#57 Navajo Joe (1966)

A petty solid Spaghetti Western starring an almost unrecognizable Burt Reynolds. Directed by Sergio Carbucci who did a string of good Spaghetti Westerns back in the day. Navajo Joe doesn't match the violence of Django or the ambition of The Great Silence but delivers all the usual genre conventions & does them all well. Apparently Reynolds accepted the part confusing his Sergio's and turned up on set expecting to meet Sergio Leone. The score by Morricone is classic, Tarantino stole a couple of the parts for Kill Bill.

#58 Le cercle rouge (1970)

ust as gripping on second viewing. Definitely the best Melville film I've seen as of yet.

#59 Blue Valentine (2010)

A very well done study of a relationship that goes wrong. Two powerful performances that are completely believable from start to finish which is probably down to the preparation put into making this picture which from what I've read was very much along the lines of how Mike Leigh operates. The final 10 minutes were very moving.

#60 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

Having not seen this for a good six years or so I was very interested to see how this would hold up. For me It's impossible to think of this film (& trainspotting for that matter) without associating them with the era they was made when Britpop was happening & everybody was fascinated in what makes us British in the first place. I thought this might perhaps harm the film looking back or perhaps the soundtrack would sound dated and nasty but this wasn't the case. It still holds up as a great piece of cinema that is tremendously written with some great humour thrown in. I was fully expecting to enjoy this through nostalgic eyes & find a ton of faults with it but it wasn't the case at all. Top film, still love it & I still remember half the dialogue.

genuinely one of the highlights of my day at the moment is reading your film reviews mahoney

I'm not quite sure what that says about your days but thanks buddy

you rank just below masturbation and skyping ana's mate but well above waking up at 1pm and getting progressively fatter

[058] The Lion King

Definite highlights have to be Jeremy Irons as Scar and Cheech Marin & Whoopi Goldberg as the hyenas though? Everything else is very average.
5/10 (typed 6 at first but meant to put 5)

Prepare to see me destroy all films I see from now on, I'm still fucking mad at The Green Hornet, bro.

FIRST OFF, 6 FOR THE GRADUATE AND THEN 5 FOR THE LION KING?!!?!?!?

oh ana at first i wanted to see green hornet, then your review put me off. now i don't know what to believe in anymore

Sorry.

I saw this a few weeks ago after I heard a few people raving about it, it's very interesting, especially if you don't know much about Pablo Escobar. Andreas is painted as a real saint in it, not that I'm doubting he was a great guy but I wonder if they polished him up that bit extra to give it a bit of a yin and yang vibe. Still, very good, plus Tino Asprilla and Carlos Valderrama are in it = dons.

Also I heard someone describe the Green Hornet as a total Seth Rogan vehicle the other day, by the sounds of it Gondry's only involvement was shouting 'action' now and again, so I wouldn't hate him too much for it

You know, it'd be very difficult for the filmmakers of that documentary to achieve the 'yin/yang' thing, considering so many people in this country (and outside) hold Pablo Escobar in high regards for his social contributions and general DONness. That said, Andres Escobar (regardless of what he was actually like IRL) will always be looked at as a 'saint', mostly cause of the circumstances of his death and thathe was so young and basically harmless, y'know?
I still don't know how I feel about Pablo though, the man was certainly a pebble in the government's shoes (and I'm a pseudo-anarchist so I love that) but he also murdered a shitload of innocent people...but then again he cared about the lower classes and while the government was completely ignoring them, he built houses for them and gave them means of emlpoyment (illegal, but still, they were employed). After he was killed that's when things really started going to shit (regardless of how the media wants to show the Pablo days--they were basically peaceful) cause all the people that worked for him were suddenly jobless and started kidnappings and chaos ensued due to the lack of a boss. I for one wish he hadn't been killed. Don't know why though.


Yeah, he's too obnoxious and too unfunny to have the lead in any film, IMO. And Michel Gondry...well there's something called professional integrity, FFS.

had no idea that andres and pablo were that linked. misinformation is rife with the escobars it seems. half the colombians i met say that andres got gunned down twelve times with the murderer shouting "goal" after each shot and the other half say that is total bollocks

definitely gonna be checking out that documentary

I wonder how it would be to live in a mad country like yours.

Euro talk. It's monday, it's Euro talk. David Fjäll with colleagues gives us the latest insight in the three big leagues in Europe, serie a, la liga and the premier league. Always interesting guests that know a lot and have a good ability to analyse what's going on in the football world with an outside perspective. From fans made for fans, no pictures just talking.
Today wasn't an exception. 9/10 Sladjan Osmanagovic made a very good appearance. Probably the first time he has been on in a couple of years. 9/10

Aye, even if it's illegal and immoral you can't underestimate how important order and hierarchy is before tearing it down. I couldn't help but admire Escobar in some ways personally, he wasn't perfect and in fact he was downright dreadful in sme ways, but at least he was something. Sorry I don't have much more to add , that was the first I've really learnt about Colombia. Very interesting as I said though, watch it u rats. Good football nostalgia too if you're that way inclined.

His death was definitely a milestone in Colombian history...it feels like part of the innocence of that generation was lost that day. At least for those of us old enough to remember the news and his funeral on national TV. I found it interesting how they linked his death to Pablo's...and there is a definite connection.
You should ignore my 6's and 5's and get this watched, Bazzaroo.
