    Yes, you read that right. I know, I know...I'm shocked also.
    For the very longest time, I thought that was the funniest movie I had ever seen!

    I recently just watched the movie Take Shelter with Michael Shannon. It was really good, somewhat of a psychological thriller but not too much thrill in it. I enjoyed it! Has anyone else seen it?

    Watched "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Wow! What a fantastic movie! First time I watched it. Easily became one of my all time favorite movies. I can't believe James Stewart did not win the Academy Award for his performance.

    Saw "I melt with you" last night....fucking wow. This got some horrific reviews but I liked it. Unrealistic, yes but also great, I think at least.

    just read about it...sounds pretty cool

    Yeah, it is a pretty crazy movie. LIke I said in the Phillies thread, it is going to be love it or hate it. I was on the edge of my seat/couch the entire second half of the movie, and fucking loved it. I read one review of a person who loved it and was one of their favorite movies, then read another where they said it was the worst movie they have ever seen. No matter what, it is an intense movie and I highly recommend it.

    I watched this last night. "Fucking wow" is right.

    I really, really liked this film. It was an emotional jolt stronger than anything I had expected.

    Watched J Edgar a few nights ago- What a disappointment that was. I looked forward to that movie for like a year. It should have been brilliant.

    Watched "American Graffiti" for the first time last night. Great movie. Toad was cracking me up, starting with him and his scooter right in the beginning.

    I saw Wanderlust. It was pretty disapointing. I'd avoid it if you haven't seen it.

    you've been warned :)

    I recently watched the 5 films in the box set Yakuza Papers: Battles Without Honor & Humanity. They were directed by Kinji Fukasaku and came out in 1973 and 1974. The films are as follows:

    Battles Without Honor & Humanity
    Deadly Fight In Hiroshima
    Proxy War
    Police Tactics
    Final Episode

    The series has been likened to Japan's counterpart to the Godfather saga. Beginning just after World War II in Hiroshima, we see protagonist Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara) and other young men come together to form yakuza organizations. While Hirono is the protagonist of the series (which goes from the mid-40s until the early 70s), it would be a misnomer to call him a hero. If he has more "honor & humanity" than many of the other characters we meet along the way, it is only a matter of degree. Fukasaku and his collaborators do a great job throughout of fleshing out a large number of characters. In fact, there are times when we don't see Hirono for a long time because he is serving a prison term. Other notable players in the saga include Sonny Chiba, Reiko Ike, Nobuo Kaneko, Jo Shishido, and Akira Kobayashi. With compelling characters, intricate maneuvering, sociopolitical undertones, and plenty of action, this epic gangster saga gets my highest recommendation.

    Check out a feature on Fukasaku at the following link.

    The Stoning of Soraya M.
    This movie was amazing. It stirred a lot of emotion. It had me thinking the entire time how some people can be lucky where they were born, and others not so much. It was sad and sickening but very powerful.

    Saw these for my film class last week (had make up work to do):
    Birth of a Nation
    Metropolis
    The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
    Stagecoach
    Unforgiven

    Watched "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" over the weekend. It was sitting on the DVR for a few weeks and finally watched it. Really liked this one.

    How are there only 2 songs nominated for the Oscars?
    I don't know. That's really lame.

    apparently when there are only 2 nominees it means there was only 1 outstanding song and they just added a 2nd song to keep it company. the 2nd song really isnt in contention. and all the other songs from all the other movies were shite. 8-)

    We watched a few old movies recently. The Hazing and Cruel Intentions. What a waste of time.
