What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

The Double Life of Veronique (1991) This french/polish film is nothing short of brilliant! ez 10/10. Dramas are something I consider myself a very tough grader on, because often dramas(and their characters) bore me and are dumbed-down and placate the audience with a bunch of predictable feel good ****... The good ones, like this(and mulholland drive), are few and far between..

Definitely not something you want to view if your distracted, you wont be able to track the story..

The lead actress does such a great job.. It's really well made too, gorgeous photography throughout.. theres like this crazy sort of color palate going on.. It's very red and very green...

The director made something called The Three Colors Trilogy, which I saw before this and really really liked. To me, these are worth seeing just for the level of craftsmanship alone.

You are talking about Krzysztof Kieslowski,a truly amazing director. You should try to look for "Decalogue", his series of 10 movies, each one linked somehow to one of the Ten Commandements. If you don't find the whole series the two most famous of them are on youtube with english subtitles (A short film about love and A short film about killing). "Blind chance" is also worth watching although it may be difficult for a foreigner to grasp all the political context.

Cool! I'll check out the Decalogue sometime this week for sure. Pretty sure there's a youtube account that's gonna get DMCA'd very soon but they've uploaded lots of his movies in pretty good quality...

I remember chasing down that three colors trilogy was a bit of a chore.

It should be somewhere out there as it was highly acclaimed by people like Ebert and Kubrick. If you need help you can write me.
 
Hustlers.

Meh. I get it. Anyone who makes good money is evil. The working person has it so tough and deserves more because, well, they scream from the rooftops. It’s been beat to death. And I’m supposed to love this because...it’s all women in it. Keep it. So far as movies go, it was average. Seeing it now, media fanfare for it when it came out is laughable.
 
I watched The Lincoln Lawyer last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not a big Matthew McConaughey fan but thought he did a great job. Enjoyed the twists and the entire cast.

Edge of Seventeen—liked it quite a bit, cried a little
Free Fire—solid cast, okay. Sort of meh.
Haywire—got halfway through this before my son woke. Liked it quite a bit.
 
I know it's been mentioned on here but I did finally watch ' Color out of Space'. This one took a little while to grab me. I enjoyed Cage going full Cage mode, but nothing else stood out...up until a creature is created involving two of the characters and it is effectively disturbing. That changed the movie for me. It has a similar premise to 'Annihilation' but is nowhere near as good.

I also watched 'Doctor Sleep', I really enjoyed it. I'm a fan of Flanagan and he does a great job of bringing his own ideas and visual style to the table. There are several scenes from this that are really great. It's a sequel but stands up as it's own thing, up until a point. I think he got a bit carried away at the end.
 


This documentary on Chuck Jones is so good.. if you enjoyed old cartoons like Loony Tunes and Merry Melodies you'll probably love this.,.
 
Beanpole. 2019 Russian drama set in Lenningrad shortly after the WW2. Story of two young women coping with war traumas and searching for sense of existance in new reality. Intense and emotional movie with great acting and nice visual work. Pretty heavy but worth watching.
 
Watched Old Guard on Netflix.

It's fine if you crave some action, Charlize Theron kills it as always. The premise was good but ultimately not enough depth and dialogue felt too clunky at times. Nice hook for a sequel, though. It could get better with sequels or if it was a series.
