Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964)

Take Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and make them gangsters in Chicago in the 1930s, and you end up with Robin and the 7 Hoods.

This movie stars most of the Rat Pack, with Frank Sinatra as Robbo (Robin Hood), Dean Martin as John (Little John), and Sammy Davis Jr. as Will (Will Scarlett). Two members of the Rat Pack are missing, (Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop), but they're replaced with Peter Falk as Guy Gisborne, and Bing Crosby as Allen A. Dale, who both do a great job.

As a musical, this is just an average movie, with a few good songs, but nothing that shines like some of the better musicals, but as a movie, it's a fun movie with an interesting twist on the classic Robin Hood.

Back to the Future: Part II

C+

Starts off a mess, but get's better once we leave the future scenes (I'm aware that Bob's Gale and Zemeckis were taking the p*ss with these scenes, but the editting seemed pretty sloppy at times and it really wasn't much fun). Even then it never reaches the same level of enjoyment as the first (or even the third).

You can tell Robert Zemeckis hadn't committed himself as fully to this film as he should've done, something he's since admitted.

But...it's still alright and always gets me in the mood to watch Part III.

Here are the films I have watched in the last like 4 or 5 days.

The Seventh Seal 10/10!
Absolutely brilliant movie! The only Bergman I have seen and I can wait to see more!

Match Point 10/10!
I loved this film. Best of 2005, easily! Highly recomended.

Vertigo 10/10
This was just amazing! One of Hitchcocks best.

Russian Ark 10/10
This was breathtaking! One of the most beautiful films I have ever.

David Cronenberg's The Fly 9/10
I love Cronenberg and this is his second worst, but still great.

Inside Man 9/10!
I love this film, freakin' love it!!!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail 9/10
I LOVE this movie. The ending is soo good.

The Man Who New Too Much 9/10
Loved this film and the ending made me so happy. This is the worst Hitchcock I have seen so far(I think) and it's still a nine!


Yi Yi 10/10
This is without a doubt the best film of the decade. I enjoyed every moment of it. I loved the kid that plays Yang-Yang(Jonathan Chang) and everyone else was good, but Yang-Yang was just unbelievable! Great shots throughout the film, I loved how he used the mirror so much. What I like the most though is that it has humor, sensitivity, and emotion, thats what I want in my films!! The ending of the movie is sad, but also happy in a way one of the best endings ever also one of the best films ever.

Had a bit of a dvd fest last night, We watched-

Human Traffic-9/10, Still love this film


Smokey and the Bandit 9/10, A classic film


Clue 9/10, Don't know why but it's still funny



And finally Monty Python and the Holy Grail 10/10, Need i say more!

Miami Vice-10/10

Blue Jasmine (2013)


Strange, funny and sad. A very simple but effective story of a once wealthy woman hitting rock bottom and losing her mind. Great performance from Cate Blanchett, well deserving of the oscar.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - 7/10

I 100% saw this film because of the dance number at the barn raising that Citizen Rules posted way back in that "Why Do People Hate Musicals" thread. Although I'm starting to come around a bit to the idea of them, I have historically disliked musicals across the board. This one... well, it's a mixed bag, that's for sure. The two main leads have obscenely good, operatic voices with the perfect amount of vibrato (not enough to obscure their lines, but more than enough to add a rich, layered texture to their singing). The choreography, especially for the barn raising scene, is just as amazing. The plot, however, is more than a little problematic: starting off as seemingly a Western retelling Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it quickly progresses into the protagonists kidnapping the town's womenfolk under the belief of "they really like / want it, even if they say that they don't," detaining them in isolation for an extended period of time, and then being forcibly wed after apparently succumbing to Stockholm Syndrome. I know it's a comedy, and I try to keep that in mind, but the plot... it still has issues.
