I love that movie--we quote it all the time around hereI just bought this on DVD for $5!
Nightcrawler (2014) Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake plays a guy looking for work that stumbles into the business of (nightcrawlers) shooting freelance crime video to sell to LA news stations. He is highly unethical and finds a highly unethical news director to buy his videos. Awesome movie.

I LOVE this movie! Love that 2nd scene ... hilarious! I have lived this (well, not quite as bad as the movie, but bad!)
The Help
Wonderful movie, but boy it makes me tear up.

That scene gets me! Oh, how I wanted to beat that woman senseless!! How a mother could treat a child like that is beyond me.
Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS. Watch it a bunch, put it in to pass out by sometimes, often wind up watching the whole thing. Love the score--most silent movie music will drive you bonkers, but this one has a killer score. Weird expressionist zaniness abounds. Bridgett Helm's eerie snake dance was an unexpected eye opener the first time I viewed this flick.
Good flick; I mean, if you're into this sort of thing. Fritz Lang is der bomb, mein cats.

Watched The Conversation and The Raven this afternoon.
Hadn't seen either before. The Conversation was really good. Coppola made some great films before his ego swelled to the size of California.
The Raven was OK. John Cusack was a pretty good Poe.

Got to love Coppola's Dracula. Probably his last decent flick, but a doozy. Sure, the performances are hit and miss--Keanu Reeves just about ruins it with that flat, unconvincing accent, but then the always wonderful Anthony Hopkins saves the day as the greatest Van Helsing ever filmed. Gets better with age, always worth a watch.
Has anyone ever seen the Punisher movies lol so messed up. I know he is in comics but i don't think i've read any of those yet.
Watched about 30 to 40 minutes of Black Swan ...
Was freaking me out so, went to sleep - one of these days I'll watch a complete movie!

It just keeps getting weirder the further you get into the movie...lol
I had had enough ... Natalie Portman did a good job cause I was totally stressing out watching her!
I love Coppola's Dracula (minus the Reeves-dude's weak performance!)!!! I also love that they went old-school on the special efects and did things the way they did them back in film's early days. Lots of 'smaok-and-mirror' going on here. They even got to use an antique camera to film Dracula's walk thru 'modern' London!!! I saw this in the theter when it was first released and remember getting goose-bumps all over when I realized how closely they were following the book (at least the first half of it, anyway) andhow great Gary Oldman and Wynona Rider were. I also remember hearing men and woman sobbing at the end....

Cowboys and Aliens - seemed to start out good but somehow lost it. - 1 star (maybe 2 but only because I liked one or two of the characters) - seemed predictable and hokey to me. (Too bad because I like Daniel Craig).
I just couldn't get over the fact that 'Hollywood' combined two totally different movie genres. It wasn't a great movie.
Yup, exactly. Longer on promise and anticipation, quite short on delivery.
King Kong, 1933. The older it gets, the less well it wears. It's not the stop-action animation and floppy dolls. We expect that. It's the stilted or overbaked acting, the contrived scenes, the overt racial tones, the "kill first" primitivism, the unsympathetic view of human and animal life.
There are good things about it, no doubt. And I still enjoy it as a period piece. Just less so as time wears on.
Let's see - in one day, Kong has to fight a T-rex (or allosaurus, not sure), an oversized python, and a pteranodon, not to mention the various humans and tribesmen. How much to put up with every day of your life? Yikes.

I found that version to be "meh". It wasn't a bad film. Just didn't live up to the hype for me.
To me, Coppola lost it after Apocalypse Now.
The French Connection is available for streaming on netflix right now. This spot on review I saw on another site brought it to my attention. I am planning on re-watching very soon.
