Today we saw The Kings Speech it was quite lovely.
I think this movie will be getting lots of awards.

Blue Valentine.

A tiny independent film with painfully raw performances by both lead actors. Gritty, real, charming.

Waxnrope told me about that one! On my list.

Triage with Colin Farrell. I don't usually like war/post traumatic stress movies but this one will tug at you.

Joan Rivers - A Piece of Work - very interesting look at the person behind the persona.

The Black Swan - LOVED IT. It was a great psycho drama. The Descent into Madness could be a secondary title.

"Inception" - I didnt care for it. Long, drawn out, convoluted.

"Mother and Child" - Annette Benning - beautiful story, very touching.

The Tourist Really liked it and recommend it. Both funny and exciting for those who like action movies, though not all that tough to figure out.

Red Riding - 1974 I want those 2 hours of my life back...horrible, horrible movie, not at all what I expected and definitely don't recommend it. On top of that the audio was shit and didn't even catch the three word explanation at the end on why the young schoolgirls were murdered anyway.

Case 39 Pretty decent. Not amazing or anything, and definitely not a unique idea, but still a fun watch. The thing with horror flicks and me is that I find when they're supernatural in nature they kind of lose their effect. A similar concept in a movie like The Orphan with a slightly more realistic plot makes the film a bit more suspenseful, imo. The movie started off pretty promising, but the whole possessed little kid thing is overdone (not a spoiler since you find out pretty fast).

I saw a trailer for a new movie, Mama today...I told Teddy we had to go see it. It's just the right blend of suspense for me. Outright gore and horror don't appeal to me...

I'm determined to get Teddy to watch Traffic with me over our weekend. A truly excellent film. I can't believe he's never seen it.

And

My client purchased Das Boot, an old submarine flick, for me to see. I happen to be a fan of submarine movies, can't explain the inclination. I think it's the suspense of being in a confined space with numerous variables and the problem solving that ensues to keep the ship safe. (Think Hunt for the Red October)

Wow I cant believe it summer time already, Me and Blaze did a little catching up on some movies that are out right now ... We did a big movie marathon weekend for Memorial Day.
We went to see Star trek on Saturday, I liked Spock in this movie thought he was great , I like the movie over all , Blaze thought is was ok .
On Sunday we went to see Iron Man ... I like it so did Blaze
Today we went to see MUD .... We both loved it. Thumbs Up!

I'm so behind in movies, and just watch them on DVD or Blu-Ray these days. Here's some I have seen lately:

1. Inception. One word: amazing.
2. The Town. Great take on the usual action-y film. Loved that the FBI guy actually was a bad ass too.
3. Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps. Blah.
4. Prodigal Sons This is on Netflix, and it's a great documentary.
5. The Kids Are Alright. Both Julianne Moore and Annette Bening are amazing.
6. Howl. A strange little study on censorship and Allen Ginsburg.
7. Salt. Great concept poorly executed.
8. The American. Ok, in the minority on this one, but I actually liked this movie and the themes of redemption. It is an American film that looks and feels like a European one. The director is a photographer, and his shot choices show it.

Went to see The Fighter, this is a great movie. Lot of memorable lines.
Loved it.
Hope it wins lots of awards.

Laerkin · 01-16-2011, 08:47 PM

This weekend I saw:

The King's Speech - easily one of the best films I've ever seen
I Am Love (Italian) - stunning and rare
Rabbit Hole - raw, powerful, understated, beautiful
True Grit - funny, smart, Jeff Bridges is amazing
