Last 3 movies: Igby Goes Down, One Hour Photo, My Big Fat Greek Wedding

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm... I think Barbershop, xXx and... um... I can't remember!

Red Dragon
One Hour Photo
My Big Fat Crappy Movie

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

actually I lied. I liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but not quite as much as everyone else.

hey Graham, Swimfan is hilarious innit?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm hopeless at this game.
The Bourne Identity, and (I think) One Hour Photo & L'Auberge Espagnole

Ah, new messages alert - er, Road To Perdition instead of one of the above maybe.

― Jeff W, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Harry Smith's "Film #18: Mahagonny," Secretary, Spirited Away. Come to think of it, I don't think I can think of three less similar films easily...

― Douglas, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick, How was Lovely & Amazing? I really like Catherine Keener...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I do too. I liked it a lot. She was brilliant, but so was everyone else.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

One Hour Photo, 10 (Abbas Kiarostami not Blake Edwards), Talk to Her.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:40 (twenty-three years ago)

What's 'Spirited Away' like, Douglas? It's on in Brussels now, but I have the choice of Japanese dialogue with FR/NL subtitles or a version dubbed into French. So I think I'm gonna have trouble following it. On the other hand, it made some people's all time Top10 lists in that recent Sight & Sound poll, so maybe it's worth the struggle...

― Jeff W, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

The Servant
The Eye
The Devil Doll

Swimfan was ace, expecially imagining that really was Ms Fielding as psycho. It was really cruel the way it ended, she just needed help.

Am I missing something, or should I just watch the film?

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 14 October 2002 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't get out much (not to mention it's always 20 quid every time i go what with two tickets and snackage):

blade 2 (with luke goss!)
starwars ep 2
monsters inc

these are all at the new warner village in shepherd's bush. nice new cinema, steeply raked, comfortable seats. never been more than a quarter full any time i've been either.

― s trife (simon_tr), Monday, 14 October 2002 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

24 Hour Party People (terrific and much funnier than I was expecting)

Igby Goes Down (terrible - should be called Igby Goes Down on Himself for it's unrelenting depiction of inane self-absorption - and that Ryan Phillip-ee-or-ay cannot act! He's proven this in several films now, so wake up casting directors. The Culkin kid is actually good, but I have absolutely no sympathy for the character)

Spirited Away (see it subtitled - even if you don't read dutch or french - the visuals are unbelievable and the movie might be even cooler without understanding exactly what is going on)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 14 October 2002 16:42 (twenty-three years ago)

In order of preference:

1. Road to perdition
2. Red Dragon
3. Signs

Barbershop (and then hopped to Minority Report)
Gosford Park
Metropolis (the anime)

I keep meaning to see Secretary, since the main character's name is Lee.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon (entertaining crap)
Lovely and Amazing (great)
Full Frontal (had moments)

― dan (dan), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

One Hour Photo - not very good is it? Still, the message seems to have finally gotten through to Robin Williams: Enough of the gooey sentimentalis[t]m goh-dammit.
My Little Eye - Was hoping that someone had finally taken up the challenge left by Blair Witch but it was a bit of a let down. Some fine moments though.
Once Upon A Time In The Midlands - Not Shaun Meadows' best but the best Brit flick this year behind 24hr Party People.

Can't rememember the third last one - saw it at The George in St Kilda in August. Hope it was good.

― toraneko (toraneko), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 02:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon, that Wilco movie, Big Fat greek Wedding

1) not bad
2) artless, useless docu, and wilco are just pretty boring as people!
3) nothing more depressing than contrived feelgoodness. irritating.

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 15 October 2002 04:05 (twenty-three years ago)

lord of the rings, that shitty planet of the apes movie, before that i can't remember. mighta been the filth & the fury.

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 04:26 (twenty-three years ago)

the last three i can remember are men in black 2, mulholland drive and... and...

― Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 05:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Not including a wonderfully indulgent Fassbinder Season at the local Film Society [which isn't really in a theatre anyway, so much as a lecture theatre], my last three excursions to the cinemaaaaah would probably be '24 Hour Party People', some blah French festival film that looked loads better in the programme, and hrm...woulda been either 'Ghost World', 'Waking Life' or 'Kissing Jessica Stein'...film fests tend to warp my perceptions of time...

― petra jane (petra jane), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 05:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Mullholland Drive
Goldmember
About A Boy

At least, that is what I think it was - I have a feeling I am forgetting summat though.

― Livvie, Tuesday, 15 October 2002 07:50 (twenty-three years ago)

toraneko - you saw 'garage days'? are you in australia? i was an extra in that film! is there a scene in it where everybody runs out of a club and hurls due to 'bad drugs'? i'm back in england now so i may never get to see it, i'd just like to know it wasn't all in vain.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 08:26 (twenty-three years ago)

What is it with this theatre nonsense anyway - I see movies in the cinema and leave theatres to show plays.

(You can add My Little Eye to that list now - a thoroughly nasty piece of low budget suspense - to call it horror might be to lead peoples expectations). I don't know you wait for a horror movie with the word eye in the title and then tywo come along at once...

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I really enjoyed it (Saddest Music..). It's kind of disturbing at times, but mostly funny and has some really beautiful shots in it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be seeing Saddest Music tonight. I watched Odilon Redon and Sissy Boy Slap Party in the last few days in anticipation.

Raising Helen (wretched)
Shrek 2 (almost as wretched)
Dogville (morally wretched, artistically interesting)

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

"The Saddest Music in The World: How is this? Especially the Mark McKinney?"

It's my second favorite movie ever! (at least for now)
It makes me proud to be an American???

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Nairn, why on earth did Saddest make you proud to be an American?

The last three movies I saw in a theatre. Um. Possibly a collection of Brakhage shorts, "House of Sand and Fog" (or whatever -- it was horrible), and "Saddest Music" (which was pretty great, and made me proud to be a Canadaphile).

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a theater in (or even close to) my town. So I only see movies on the big screen occassionally:
LOTR: Two Towers
Matrix Reloaded
A Mighty Wind
yeah, it's been a while.....

Dawn of the Dead (5/10)

Next outing - The Sorrow and the Pity (partly in reaction to Van Helsing and my feeling that it marks that start of a real summer of CGI-shite)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Vanity Fair was strange. The acting was excellent (a really great cast, but I thought people like Rhys Ifans were underused), as were the sets and costumes, but I felt it lacked something and I still can't put my finger on it. The Bollywood dance sequence was unnecessary. Plus I didn't think Becky was conniving enough, she was just too damn nice the whole time.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought Vanity Fair was very much a typical costume period-piece. Pretty much exactly what you would expect. Rhys-Meyers was nicely over-the-top, he was my favorite part of the movie.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Rhys-Meyers was my favorite part as well, but he should have been the foil for Becky in their social climbing, but I didn't think the movie made enough of this relationship. I keep wanting to compare this with the film of Barry Lyndon, since I think both novels are by Thackeray?

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

no results :(

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I was kind of disappointed with Silver City. I'm not sure I can pinpoint why. It just sort of seemed predictable. And the dialogue was oddly clunky in parts. Also, Sayles trying to pack too much into a two-hour movie, surprise. Daryl Hannah was pretty good, though.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

From most recent to further away in the distance:

Ladder 49 (I KNOW very few people around here will like this film because of its earnestness, but DAMN I loved that film SO MUCH.)
Open Water (It was odd -- so much more of a frightfest than an average horror film, but also quite dull.)
De-Lovely (Delightful fun!! Exactly what a film about Cole Porter should be like.)

I think it's funny that even if I were to never see another film in the theaters again this year, I'll still have seen more films this year than I saw in the previous two years. Wow. Normalcy.

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

don't you think ladder 49 layed it on a LITTLE thick, dee?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't think so. Then again, I actually really admire and look up to firefighters, so maybe my personal opinions would paint this film in different colors than the pallette of your own personal opinions re: firefighters would.

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

(I loved that Roger Ebert loved the film, BTW. Yay!)

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

De-Lovely is one of the most poorly named films ever. Just call it "The Cole Porter Story", like they would've in the good ole days.
