there were a few things that threw me but i thought they were intentional since everyone is lying.

Why did Bill have to die at the end? I assumed it was so he wouldn't tell secrets when he was being water boarded but I didn't get why the person who killed him had to do it.

I didn't get that either. I need watch it again ASAP.

Probably because its stupid and didn't make sense, just like the rest of the movie.

i loved it but i do get this reaction. you're either totally into the slow pacing and drawn out scenes and realism or you're bored by how drawn out and real and slow the scenes are.

haha

i really really did love the cinematography though.

did anyone else see a dangerous method? i keep thinking about it.

I halfway won this from my local theater. THEY GREY!!!

And I've heard many questionable things about A Dangerous Method. Mostly that Kiera Knightly is awful.

Saw Tin Tin. It was great. Very Indiana Jones-esque. The animation is fantastic.

Midnight Hour- made for tv horror movie from 1985. I last saw it in 1985 so I'm counting it as something I've never seen.

I watched the Dunwich Horror movie from 1970. The part when that guy get's struck by lightening and flies off a cliff while on fire might be the best part of any movie ever.

Saw Chronicle. It was awesome. Loved it completely.

Yesterday I watched A Better Tomorrow 1&2, I love late 80's/early 90's John Woo! Then I watched Senna, which was a documentary about a Brazilian F1 driver, I don't care about car racing, but it was still really interesting! Then I watched The Chinese Boxer, Wang Yu was pretty awesome in it!

Grath, are your movies in order of how much you liked or hated them this year?

I watched Coffee last night. I really love that movie.

unlovablefrank · « **Reply #420 on:** February 07, 2012, 03:46:15 PM »

Watched One Day, against my will, the other night. Oh my god my life is so much worse for having seen this and I didn't think that could happen.

34. Chronicle - saw this last night. Based on the first preview I saw for this movie, I thought it was going to suck...you know, another one of these found footage bullshit Cloverfield nonsense movies. My friends convinced me to see it and said it got really good reviews. It was GREAT! Highly recommended. It was like a more realistic Heroes, and sort of reminded me of Unbreakable in that respect, but was also fun and smart. It was also sorta like Super 8 meets Attack the Block in some respects. It was quick moving, but I love the way they developed the villain...just wish they had spent more time doing that. My only complaints were that I thought there should be a fourth main character and the whole thing could have been a little longer and more fleshed out. It was great though. Go see it. Word.
35. Ghost Rider - started watching this before. Its terrible, but not as horribly terrible as I thought it might be. I'm gonna go finish it now...and then watch something else probably.

Suggestions?

Tough666 · « **Reply #422 on:** February 07, 2012, 10:12:50 PM »

chronicle was so so good.

i also saw the innkeepers recently. i sorta liked it and hated it at the same time.

36. Margin Call - this was really good. Surprised I didn't hear more about this. Great performances from Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci and Spock/Sylar. It made me want to watch Inside Job afterwards. Recommended for anyone who works for the man or wants to understand corporate greed and the world of finance. Bastards.
37. Fantastic Four - started watching this last night. Fun but dumb. Probably gonna finish it later.

I was gonna watch The Debt, but I got a bad version of it and had to redownload it again. Any other suggestions?

12. paradise lost 1-3- i watched them all and i'll count em as 1. all of them were pretty good which explains me going on a binge. that stepfather is out of his fucking bird.
13. on the waterfront- had to watch this for a screenwriting class which finally gave me an excuse to go out of my way and watch it. great flick but i had already heard or seen clips of all of the iconic lines which kinda took away from it.
14. bringing up baby- also had to watch this for the same class. this kinda sucked, most comedies dating back to before the 60's tend to. katherine hepburn was the worst.
