I am currently watching the next Gina Carano movie in which she is in a supporting role.
(Fast and Furious 6)
I keep meaning to catch up with Haywire. My life has been consumed with watching The Sopranos recently. Almost wrapping up Season 5.
I really enjoyed Haywire for what it was - a showcase for Gina Carano to beat the crap out of a series of guest stars. But hey - if that's all a movie is trying to do and does it really well - then good on ya, movie.
Tonight I watched Evil Dead (2013) and Fast & Furious 6 (2013). The former was a not rubbish remake/reboot/whatever and the latter was one of the most ridiculous action movies I have ever seen. Although, having seen Fast Five, I am not entirely sure what else I was expecting.
The Killing by Stanley Kubrick, which was not as good as Paths of Glory but was decent for Sterling Hayden being Sterling Hayden.
Speaking of Paths of Glory, does anybody else whose seen this film have a problem with the fact that all the actors (with the exception of the girl singing at the end) are supposed to be French but none of them actually are?
It bothers me that Vikings seem to always get some sort of Scottish accent. It makes no sense.
I've always liked Jacob's Ladder as well - saw it a few times in the theater and had a VHS copy for a while. May need to pick it up again as it has been many years since I watched it. Twisted and sad, but ultimately uplifting (as I recall).
So far this week I've watched:
Some Like It Hot (love me some Jack Lemmon, and a damn hilarious movie);
The Third Man (finally got a Criterion bluray copy, so had to rewatch it - beautiful transfer and cinemetography, plus Orson Welles stealing the movie in basically one scene);
Miller's Crossing (my 3rd favorite Coen Bros film, and another one that's gorgeous to look at - love the dialogue and Gabriel Byrne's accent).
And I've got The Sting on its way. Seen it before, but after the WAYDM commentary, I had to actually buy it and look forward to watching it again.
Oh, Zarban, I am disappoint, Some Like It Hot is great, it's a classic. Each to his own, though.
This week I watched GI Joe: Retaliation (not bad action, The Rock is awesome and Bruce Willis remains a stalwart but it's a bit dull), Man Of Steel (ugh) and The Town (quite liked it but it was mumble-tastic, I kept wanting them to speak louder and clearer). Thinking about what to watch next right now.
Ha! I'm with you on the zither, Zarban. Even after watching The Third Man several times, I still occasionally yell at the zither to shut the hell up.
Went to see a documentary this weekend - first time I've watched a doc in a theater - Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me. I'm a fan of the band (they are my Firefly of music), so I'm a biased reviewer, but I really, really enjoyed it. Not only for the vintage footage I had never seen, but also a fairly comprehensive group of interviewees. There were a few slow, or belabored spots, and also a few times where I thought they left stuff out; but on the whole I'd recommend it even for people unfamiliar with the group.
Then I watched Sneakers, both to keep up the Robert Redford theme and also because this movie just makes me happy. The cast, the score, the combination of story elements all make me smile.
So, I watched "The Clone Wars" with my youngest brother last night...
He could be talking about the initial movie, which is pretty enjoyable. I'm a fan of the Clone Wars. I can't say for sure how much of that enjoyment is due to having been battered down by the prequels and seeing this as a welcome return to 'fun' Star Wars. It's all not great (what series is?), but the episodic nature of the show allows one to drop in/drop out as you please.
"Explodes with Atomic Laughter"
Boy, you don't hear that much anymore.
