New year 'n' stuff. Some of these movies I will have already seen, some will be the first
|
|
1. The Big Lebowski
Watched this with some people I knew who had a Coen Brothers boxset. Still an amazing film. |
|
|
2. Burn After Reading
Part of the boxset. I didn't love it the first time but I actually enjoyed it a lot more on second viewing. Classic CoBros. |
|
|
3. The King's Speech
I really enjoyed it. I did fall asleep a little so I will need to see it again when I am in a fully conscious state. |
|
|
4. Never Let Me Go
Saw it on a plane. Depressing but really good. Keira Knightley's a bitch. |
|
|
5. The Town
Also a plane movie. I enjoyed it as an entertaining thriller, and not much else. Jeremy Renner and Petey P (RIP)'s characters were dicks, though. |
|
|
6. The Kids Are All Right
Pretty good. I thought it dragged on a bit towards around the end of the second act, but I overall enjoyed it. It did seem a bit to angsty for it's own good sometimes. |
|
|
7. Masculin, féminin
Saw it in my film studies class. Pretty much a French Holden Caulfield is in lo ve with a woman who's in love with two to other women. The dude walks around and people in the street are really weird. A lot of gunshots to signify chapters. I really like how it ended. |
|
|
8. Blade II
Solid Guillermo del Toro action flick. Saw it before but not for a long time. Saw it with the Screening Room. |
|
|
9. Black Swan
Why did it take me so long to see this? Regardless, pretty cool stuff mang. Trashy art cinema at it's finest. |
|
|
10. The Green Hornet
Flawed but fun. I would recommend it. |
|
|
11. The Killer
Saw it in film studies. Good stuff dawg. |
|
|
12. The Host
Another film studies movie, but a movie I've intended to see for a while now. The end was some intense shit. |
|
|
13. Run Lola Run
I saw this at The New Beverly Theater as a part of an even that Edgar Wright hosted. He talked about the movie, and read an e-mail Tom Twyker sent him. It was the first time I saw it, and was a good environment to see it in, but I had to wait like an hour to get in, so that kind of sucks. |
|
|
14. Under the Same Moon
we watched this over the course of the last 2 months in Spanish when we didn't have any work to do. We finished watching it about a week ago, I just forgot to put it on here. It was a pretty good, emotional movie. |
|
|
15. The Shining
Our film studies class watched the first half of this on Halloween, and since we had nothing to do in class on Tuesday, we finished watching it. I've seen it before, but it's still good ol' Kubrick. |
|
|
16. Restrepo
Really good. Pretty much what you heard from everyone else. |
|
|
17. Biutiful
I mostly agree with Alex, except that I somewhat enjoyed the movie. Sure, it's flawed, and Iñárritu is pretty much going "Okay, this awful and depressing thing happened, how can I beat that?" the whole movie, there's some worthwhile stuff in there. This is the first Iñárritu movie I saw, although I've heard Amores Perros and 21 Grams are great. |
|
|
18. Barton Fink
I still love this movie. |
|
|
19. Mother
Spa-Ghe-Tti |
|
|
20. The Orphanage
Watched this over the course of a few weeks in Spanish. Second time I saw it, I realized that it's a bit dumber than you think at first. Still an effective horror movie. |
|
|
21. Cedar Rapids
It's more of an indie comedy than The Hangover: Midwesterns are funny, but definitely well worth the watch. Great characters. |
|
|
22. Once Upon a Time in America
Wait wait why didn't Deborah age? |
|
|
23. I Am Number Four
Saw this at midnight for some reason. EHHHHHhh |
|
|
24. Flesh and the Devil
yo people don't speak in this movie |
|
|
25. Drive Angry
Oh Billy Fichtner. You so crazy! |
|
|
26. Casino
Yay! A movie to cross off the pile of shame. I enjoyed this overall. Sometimes the pacing was a little to fast, and the movie came across one big montage, but it was good, even great. Some of the Sharon Stone stuff towards the end was hard to watch though. And yo, Martin Scorcese really likes The Rolling Stones. |
|
|
27. The Adjustment Bureau
Saw this with my Mom and Grandparents. We all liked it, my mom the most. Entertaining, some kinda iffy plot stuff, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again a few years down the line. |
|
|
28. Psycho
I can see how this was ballsy for it's time, but it plays off as pretty obvious now. Still a good movie. |
|
|
29. Rango
Despite minor qualms I've had, the animation and charm made me enjoy this. |
|
|
30. Battle: Los Angeles
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb movie. Somewhat good action and YAYY EXPLOSIONS. If you see it, and come on, you're gonna see it, you'll watch it. I was like 2 seats away from Steven Tyler while watching it so it made the whole alien invasion thing a bit more real. |
|
|
31. Alien
Yup, this is still a good movie. |
|
|
32. Paul
I enjoyed it a lot. By no means perfect, but fun. Nick Frost %26 Simon Pegg said this is the only movie they've made where they'd want to make a sequel, and I say "sure, why not?" |
|
|
33. Sucker Punch
I went to the premiere. I'm so cool. |
|
|
34. The Social Network
Just saw this again. Still a quality movie. |
|
|
35. Paranormal Activity 2
Saw this cause one of my friends rented it. Pretty scary. I watched the director's cut if that means anything to you. |
|
|
36. Let's Go to Prison
Was on Comedy Central in the background with friends. Made it through pretty much the whole thing, so I watched it, yeah. Not bad, but not too great either. Maybe it's funnier when not TV edited? |
|
|
37. Win Win
Didn't love it, but it was definitely a charming movie, if a little predictable. |
|
|
38. Source Code
Really good. I can see what everyone was saying about the ending (and where it could have ended,) but I was fine with how it wrapped up. |
|
|
39. Mystery Team
Showed this to a friend. I saw it last year and got to meet Derrick Comedy. Still a pretty funny movie. |
|
|
40. How to Get Ahead in Advertising
Weird movie. My mom showed it to me. I have a feeling a remake starring Will Arnett will happen one day. |
|
|
41. The Conversation
Gene Hackman is like the coolest dude. |
|
|
42. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
WOW. This is like the quintessential kidnapping gone wrong movie. |
|
|
43. Hanna
Really, really cool. Also, great title sequence, even if only a second long. |
|
|
44. Your Highness
Didn't really like it. Disappointing, as I like the people associated with it. |
|
|
45. The Producers
watched this one day when I couldn't sleep. Funny movie. |
|
|
46. Splendor in the Grass
Saw this in Film Studies. Pretty much the moral of the story is if you don't have sex you will go crazy. |
|
|
47. Arthur
Honestly don't know why I saw this. Pretty bad. |
|
|
48. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Saw this in Film Studies. It's maybe the 3rd time I've seen it. I kinda love this movie but a lot of people hated it. |
|
|
49. 13 Assassins
Holy shit is that fight scene awesome. |
|
|
50. Easy A
50th movie I saw this year! Yay? |
I like all the comments about falling sleep; kept thinking 'this dude needs some red bull' ;)
