What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

The arm cut off wasn't even bad at all. It doesn't really show anything and the name gouge into the kids chest doesn't really get shown either. He lifts up his shirt and he's bloody. That's it

the first 1/3 of the novel portion of the movie is sooooo good. i was on the edge of my seat. funny thing was on my first viewing i thought the novel part of it was real through most of it maybe because the real life characters felt fake and why i thought it was the weaker part of the movie. i had to watch it again because it stuck with me and i enjoyed the real life story of it a little more although some of it still felt a little flat. the novel part sticks out because the performances here are so good. michael shannon felt born to play this role, all he has to do is give a don't f with me glare and he commands the scene with his presence. Aaron Taylor-Johnson who I thought at first would be over matched actually does a fantastic job here. gyllenhall and adams are excellent. the novel and real life scenes are tied in pretty well and i'm glad i watched it, i enjoyed it a lot.

nothing could have prepared me for the opening credit scene, i kind of wish i had a warning, i'll just leave it as some things you can't unsee i can't blame you for fast forwarding through it. you've been warned lol.

I loved it too. I wrote a detailed review of it a while back.


Actually I'm a big fan of Tom Ford as a movie director. 'A Single Man' remains one of my favourite movies of all time. I hope he plans to do more movies going forward.

I'd say it's Aronofsky's most bizarre film. I wouldn't describe his movies as surreal, but this one jumps straight passed surrealism into absurdism.

The "messages" in it are somehow obscure and obvious at the same time. Idk--it's thought provoking.

I enjoyed it for the wild ride that it is on the surface and as a piece to analyze further.

Sounds like a movie I'd enjoy and being a Aronofsky film is reason enough

This is a really good movie, I wouldn't call it a great movie as it get's a little sloppy a times but I just appreciate Wright's visual style of story telling,which in this case especially is more style over substance but it's just something I never tire of. It requires multiple viewings to really appreciate. The way he uses music in his films as always been a strong aspect but the way he uses it here is pretty impressive it's like almost like a musical(but with people getting murdered ahaha) and the variety of music is admirable. This movie is just a fun joyride of a film, even if it starts to run out of ideas eventually. So it isn't up there with his best work but what a fun movie.
 
I just watched Boyhood for the first time. Talk about an ambitious project.

I was half expecting it to be overly sentimental, but was (pleasantly?) surprised by how nihilistic it was.

I really like the lead character/actor and like you said, the use of the music was cool.

I hated the characters played by Jaime fox, the Hercules dude and his girlfriend, the dude from the walking dead, and Kevin spacey. They were all so one dimensional/inside the box/predictable.

Having said that, I still enjoyed and recommend it

I'm excited for that one too. Great reviews so far.


I'm currently watching war for the planet of the apes. I think the whole trilogy is severely underrated. Great movies.
