I never got the appeal of this movie. Just don't get it......
I really did like that last hour. Where Jimmy sees what life would've been like without him. But man! Why did it take sooooo long to set up that last hour? They could've put all of the pertinent information in 15 minutes with a skilled writer.
Every year my mom tries to get me to watch it - she hasn't succeeded.
That's because you're allergic to movies!!!My mom tries to get me to watch it EVERY year - she hasn't succeeded.
I hate
to tell you this, but it honest to God took me about a month to watch it. I would get 10 minutes in and think, yep, that's it for today. I'd wait a week and watch 10 more minutes. 5 here, 15 there. The last hour I watched complete.
Humbug!
I liked it that first seventy times. Now I wanna strangle ZuZu AND her petals.
My new favorite Jimmy Stewart Christmas movie is Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around The Corner (1940). It's become a sort of underground tradition with me over the last couple of years. It always seems to be on when I'm wrapping the stupid presents.
Never heard of that one. ZuZu was lucky crazy daddy didn't drown her in the tub.
My husband LOVES that movie, and I've learned to like it well enoughEvery year my mom tries to get me to watch it - she hasn't succeeded.
The Mystery of the 13th Guest. Pretty boring 40's mystery, and I just realized that though there was a missing 13th guest, they never DID get around to revealing why that was such a big deal, or why it was the title of the movie!
I vaguely remember this.
I was just looking for something around an hour long, so I could mostly finish it before my meds kicked in and I fell asleep--lol.I vaguely remember this.
On my first viewing I had the same response. I've decided that the movie is a story about how innocence defeats evil. At the end, Potter, a dishonest thief who's made a lucrative living at it, has an extra $8k; George Bailey is surrounded in his own home by everyone who loves him, people who owe their lives to him, a great big Christmas tree, no fewer than two government officials publicly acquitting him, a 4-bushel basket of cash- $20s and $50s floating in the air - a free piano player, and wine.
Potter's already in jail, has been the whole time. George has always been free. Nothing can ever keep him down for long.
Good observations. You hit it right on the head.
Me And Earl And The Dying Girl - teen cancer drama which manages to be entertaining, emotional and amusing without being sentimental or mawkish.
No Escape - Owen Wilson and fam trying to escape death in oriental revolution: unrelenting suspense
American Ultra - stoner Jesse Eisenberg is unknowingly actually highly resourceful killer in entertaining but exceedingly violent action thriller with laughs

Los Inocentes-Spanish teen slasher flick Cute kids, lots of Spanish cursing, pretty good special effects. Like in every slasher, there are things that don't make much sense, but if you just roll with it it's a fun movie.

Out of the Furnace - fantastic. Christian Bale is wondrous to watch. 8/10.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - so weird, but strangely good.
Chained (2012) - re-watched this one. Why is this movie so underrated? D'Onofrio always delivers.

Did a re-watch of The Cell starring Jennifer Lopez and the always fantastic Vincent D'Onofrio. Hadn't seen it in years and forgot alot of what happens. This movie is so visually stunning! The sets, the costumes, everything is like it's in hyper-reality (or hyper-subconscious as it were). I don't think there's a false note anywhere in this one.
It's very difficult to pick up where you left off when you fall asleep during a netflix movie. Trying to fast forward to the correct spot is difficult. It's much easier on a dvd to find your spot.
Plus there is that thing where you just don't suddenly drop off to sleep and you can remember a few things past the point where you thought you fell asleep. I always find it amusing when I think I saw most of the movie and when I find my spot, it's only 25 minutes in.
