Saw Gran Torino yesterday, awsome, best movie ive seen in a long time. Eastwood is getting screwed out of an Oscar nomination, he was amazing in it.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Let's be honest here... it was Clint Eastwood being Clint Eastwood with a lot of non-actor around him.

It was a fun movie, but I could see why it got "shafted"

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It was releasing in 09, so hell be in the Oscars next year.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yes, that movie whooped Slumdog Millionaire's ass!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Here's the problem with that... the movie was technically released in 08... limited release, but in the span of what people dub "Oscar bait" season so... it won't be nominated for next year... it just wasn't nominated.

Dead Poet's Society. 8/10
Good story, enough humor/romance. And that actor's name Ethan Hawke sounds SO familiar. I know I've encountered him on IMDb several times, but I just can't find out where else I'd know him from.

Citizen Kane. 8/10
Golden oldie here. The ending was great. It's amazing how well this movie aged.

I also saw Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain again. 9/10
So many great details. A beggar who refuses to take money because he doesn't 'work on Sunday'. A woman who kisses the portrait of her late husband and instantly spray-cleans the picture.

City of Ember

Nice set designs.

Let's try to start making individual threads for movies in the new "Movies & Television" forum.

Prediction: Nobody will want to.

Not that I dislike the idea.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Worth a try. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It's not that I don't want to make seperate threads... I just don't think it's worth it.

Last movie I saw:
Toy Soldiers. 6/10
It was a weird combo. It felt like a kids movie (like the Goonies), except for all the killing and sexually loaded chats.

I started watching Dogma, but I quickly discovered it was about angels and demons on earth. No thank you, me don't like.

Doublepost incoming!

The Pelican Brief. 7/10. Decent Grisham adaptation. Julia Roberts isn't such a good actress, is she? And I never really understood the obsession with her looks.

Labyrinth. 7/10. A bit creepy, somehow.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (2nd watch). 8/10. Acting is great, the story is good, the endig is nice.

Abre Los Ojos (2nd watch; later remade as Vanilla Sky). 9/10. Great concept, executed very well.

Re: Last movies you saw

Be sure to focus your paper on how to specifically prevent a zombie pandemic.
