Last movie you watched......

Mysterious Skin, too, was pretty good.

 

I watched A Soldiers Story last night. Amazing work.

 

What is it about Jason Biggs and him always starring in these roles where he's either a heartbroken and/or loser guy or horribly whipped by the girl?

 

I watched it last night, and I wouldn't eve give it a meh. Thoroughly disappointing.

Saw The Wrestler a couple weeks ago, and I'd have to rate it one of the saddest movies I've ever seen, even though he went out his own way. It would out-and-out be THE saddest ever, except for the presence of Marisa Tomei, who is absolute Mother-of-Tebow hot.

 

True that. She is smokin.

Brick is one of the movies that I really enjoyed just because it was so creative - setting a film noir in a high school? The guy who made it is also the director of Brothers Bloom, another movie I'm looking forward to seeing.
Saw "Path To War" - an HBO movie from a few years back that chronicled the escalation in Vietnam during the Johnson years. Great stuff. Found it interesting that director John Frankenheimer used Gary Sinese, who he also directed in "George Wallace" as George Wallace.

 

Motorcycle Diaries. One of my favorite foreign flicks. The Che in the flick is a very romanticized one (it is based on Che's writings), and it's where I fell in love with Gael Garcia Bernal.

 

Finally catching up on the Netflix queue, now that the NHL playoffs are rightfully completed.

Bedtime Stories, with Adam Sandler. Definitely a good movie for kids.

 

Watched Gran Torino again... God, what a great film.

I also watched "Your Friends and Neighbors" for the first time in about five years. One of my favorite films ever.

 

Finally got around to seeing Taken. I liked it mostly because it wasn't a shot-by-shot remake of Ransom but I'm having a little trouble believing things wrapped up so quickly and easily for the folks involved.

Also (SPOILER)








There's no way that his daughter would have gone through all that without at least a little bit of abuse done to her. No way. And I can't believe that she'd be back to normal life after such an encounter just hours later but once she gets back from Paris it's like she was just back from spring break as opposed to being back from the brink of a life of drugs and prostitution.

 

It's a movie.
