Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

Post by **OscarGuy** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 11:05 am

Still mulling over my final rating, but I could see, in 10 years, District 9 becoming the Blade Runner of the '00s. It's that rare science fiction film that not only entertains, but also provides a commentary on life and society that isn't more than surface comparison.

Teeth - 6/10

Hilarious!

All about Eve (1950): 10/10
An example of perfection... of how films should be done. Hadn't seen it since a long time ago, and I should say I enjoyed it a lot more. There's nothing to say about it that hasn't been already told.
However, isn't it amazing that a film with such wonderful performances by that great female cast, only managed to grab its only acting award by the likes of Sanders? Holm would have been a perfect winner for supporting actress and Davis of course... I guess no one thought at the time how iconic her performance was going to be in the years to come.

Hustler wrote:Precious, I´m going to disagree with you once again on The Ugly Truth wich, IMO qualifies with 6.5/10 due to a good script and a charming performance by Heigl.

I found Heigl too brittle and the film somewhat sexist (surprisingly) but more watchable as it grinded on.

Subdivison (2009) Sue Brooks 4/10

Search for Beauty (1934) Erle C Kenton 5/10

Runaway (2001) Kim Longinotto & Ziba Mir-Hasseini 6/10

Torch Singer (1933) Alexander Hall & George Somnes 5/10

Morphine (2008) Aleksey Balabanov 9/10

well, i found it entertaining, but it's not like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill (Vol.1 /I hate Vol. 2, btw/) or Deathproof... I loved Pam Grier and Robert Forster, but overall it was, to me, just a good entertaining movie, nothing more.
Can't wait to see Ingluoruos Basterds.

/Kill Bill: Vol. 1/ (QT) - 9/10

I really love this movie. I can't be objective. It's outwardly anti-intellectual but it's such a rhythmic cassette mix of the bullshit going on in this dorkus' head. What was to come in Vol. 2 was such a let-down.

6.5/10

A bit dated but very well made overall. Snodgress is very good. She had everything in oder to have a great career. I wonder what happened to her....
What happened to her was she abandoned her career after Diary of a Mad Housewife to raise her handicapped son by Neil Young. A planned comeback opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky fell by the wayside over a salary dispute. She did make a comeback of sorts in Brian De Palma's Fury in 1978 but roles after that were scarce.

She was always fascinating to watch, though, with her best late career role coming as Brad Pitt and Ricky Schoeder's down-on-her-luck mother in the little seen Across the Tracks (1991).

She died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 58.

Her voice was amazing as well

The Proposal (Anne Fletcher, 2009)

Well, i found it surprisingly good. Both Bullock and Reynolds were great. I really liked it.

Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi, 2009)

8/10

Wow, that was awesome, trashy and with a superb atmosphere.
