Rate The Last Movie You Saw

If you watched F for Fake on DVD, then you might have seen this on the extras.

Orson Welles: One Man Band is an essay style documentary, composed of archival film footage shot by Orson Welles as well as interviews of him on film. Also composed of original footage shot by the directors of One Man Band, Vassili Silovic and Oja Kodar. Oja Kodar was Orson's girl friend and artistic partner in his latter years. You seen her in F is for Fake.

One Man Band gave me a deep insight into Orson Welles, especially the latter part of his life when he was known by some as that, 'crazy old Welles who couldn't complete a project'. We see that in actuality Welles was very productive in his latter years. He never stopped making films...working on projects simultaneously only to have his financial backing disappear, leaving his works unfinished.

A special treat for the viewer is scenes from some of these uncompleted projects such as:

The Magic Show, Vienna, The Merchant of Venice, Moby Dick, The Deep, The Other Side of the Wind, The Dreamers and Swinging London (Orson plays multiple characters and is hilarious)

A must watch for Orson fans.

I saw 2 Guns recently and I rated it 7/10 on IMDb, although 6.5 would be more accurate.
It's an enjoyable action movie, but it good be better.

Saw Django Unchained today...8.5/10

I would say it's one of Hitchcock's weakest, but yeh, I love the ending and the introduction of Que Sera, Sera of course, I just think apart from that, and the beginning which is good, it's about average. Been a while since I saw it though.

The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears




A Freudian giallo experiment gone terribly right.

Nothing to watch for HOF available tonight so Hulu had this. It has been on my radar for quite a while. I love the rural setting and Green sets a good tone. Dragged in parts, however, which is saying something when it is only 90 minutes.

Eating Raoul (1982) It ranks as a must see to any B-movie enthusiast and movie lover for that matter. A very original dark comedy...

Now watching Memento but before this film , I watched The Silence of the Lambs. I'm gonna give this 9/10. Hopkins made this film really awesome! That snake-like sound he made with his mouth was unarguably one of the best improvised scenes ever.

By the way, how do you guys do that popcorn rating in your posts? Kind of new here so any help from you mates?

Bridesmaids

Not a fan of chick flicks but this was hilarious.

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

I never watched this movie because I thought it would be silly, but that was never the case. I think the filmmakers succeeded in everything they wanted to accomplish with this movie. It's funny, touching, rewatchable, and entertaining for the whole family. I rate it highly because I think this movie filled it's potential in every way. The whole cast deserves credit, but this is most definitely the Robin Williams show. This is a role that allowed him to showcase his immense talent; he was perfect. RIP Mr. Williams, you will be sorely missed.

Great movie with great performances.

A great movie, but Robin Williams completely embodies his role in this film. He is perfect in every way and this film made me cry often, especially in light of what has happened recently.



Anyway, a great film.

I present to thee, some of the most entertaining and mouthwatering visual lobotomy that I've had the pleasure of viewing.

Just my cup o' tea.

I was very pleasantly surprised at this movie. I expected it to just be another murder mystery, but it had a lot of the things I appreciate in films, so I enjoyed it.

Haunting soundtrack? Check.
Beautiful and ominous shots of the landscape? Check.
Creepy and strange ambient noises? Check.
Mysterious and atmospheric story? Check.
Hot chicks? Check.

I really enjoyed the mysterious story about the girls disappearing and there were a lot of strange factors that made me wonder what the heck was going on (people getting sleepy or tired at the rock, losing memory, the red cloud, the clock stopping, etc.) This definitely had that Lynch feeling even though it was before Eraserhead. I loved how they made Hanging Rock seem like this mysterious force of nature, and the rock seemed like a living and malevolent creature. I loved the camerawork in this film and the soundtrack and all the strange ambient noises.

As much as I liked it, I still had a few problems with it. For one thing, the story starts off very interesting, concerning the missing girls, and then it shifts over to a rather boring melodrama about a girl being kicked out of the college. I admit, there was a good twist surrounding this part of the story, but I don't see how it related to the mystery of the missing girls, and it seemed out of place to me. Imo the story of the girl being kicked out was nowhere close to being as compelling or interesting as the missing girls. The woman playing Mrs. Appleyard was fantastic though, and I liked her performance. Anyway, if it would have had less cheesy melodrama, and more compelling mystery, I would have enjoyed it more. Other than that, I thought this was a great movie, and I enjoyed it for the most part. Thanks go out to honeykid for suggesting this movie to me.

Then the next film I recommend is Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Another great performance from her in another great film.

I agree completely with you about Picnic At Hanging Rock, but I love it so much that it still makes my 100 its, rather significant, flaw.

I own Picnic at Hanging Rock but haven't watched it yet. I really need to. I get the impression it's my kind of movie.

Glad you liked it BlueLion. One of my favorites.

Being an extrement doesn't mean you can't turn into gold. Remember 'bout that. Hell, that would feel right if you disliked it. You loved it. Anyways... I love it too!

Remove the asterisks, and replace the word "number" with a number between 1 and 5.

You can also do a 0.

I did wtf between the [rating] brackets one time, I thought I was going to be funny. But it just popped up as
