2 I watched recently:
Easy A
Starring Emma Stone, it's absolutely hilarious. She carries the film and does an excellent job in the process.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (especially in 3D Blu-ray)
Different film than Easy A, but awesome in its own right. They take the camera work to a new level in this one. If you can, definitely watch it in 3D. |

I received so many movies over Christmas, it's not even funny. I'll be lucky to finish them all by next Christmas.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand:
Amelie - This had been on my list to watch for a long time, and it was well worth the wait. If you need a movie to cheer you up, you won't find anything better.
Charade (1963 version) - One of the many Criterion films I now have. While I won't say it's quite as good as Hitchcock, it's still a great mystery and Hepburn and Grant work well together. |

The El Mariachi trilogy. In my opinion, it's one of the most underrated trilogies in film. If you're a fan of Robert Rodriguez and you haven't seen them, please do yourself a favor and give em a watch. El Mariachi Trilogy (El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico) - All of them just came out on Blu-ray actually.

3 films this week.
Animal Kingdom. This is the best Crime Drama I have seen in a while. A female character in power (Jacki Weaver's character) definitel y offers a different dynamic from the more typical crime family. Such great character development too. Very impressed with David Michôd in his feature film debut. It would be tough for Jacki Weaver to win an Oscar for this role given her opposition, but I hope she at least gets the nomination, as she did at the Golden Globes.
Justified, the first season. Sort of a contemporary cowboy action series. Originally aired on FX. As far as I know, they're signed on for second season. It's Adapted from Elmore Leonard's stories Pronto, Riding the Rap, & Fire in the Hole. Timothy Olyphant is great as Raylan Givens. Gotta love the no bullshit approach to justice.
Virginity Hit. I originally found out about this movie from some posters on the subway advertising a "hotline for virgins." That makes me sound really cool. Anyways, long story short, I think this movie is hilarious. Reviews were not great, but you have to keep in mind what you're dealing with: a teenage sex comedy. It's not supposed to win Oscars, it's supposed to be stupid and hilarious - which it is. Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay. Also has an AMAZING cameo by Rock N Roll GREAT and former Creed frontman Scott Stapp. I shit you not. |

Virginity hit looks pretty terrible. Any nudity in it? Animal Kingdom does sound good, but not sure I can say that I have heard much about it. Do you have a review for it? |

I don't have one particular review in mind, but RT has a boatload of them. And it has a 96%, which is high for RT. See below:

btw - I dont think virginity hit has very much nudity. Maybe a brief shot of some boobs. Kind of surprising, considering all the sex talk in it.
Yeah, I saw Animal Kingdom. |

I watched a boatload of films old and new recently:
The Godfather - Yes, I've owned this for about two years, but I just finally got around to watching it. All the praise is justified, simply put one of the best character-driven crime dramas ever made. I haven't watch II or III yet, but rest assured I will.
Lawrence of Arabia - Another film I've put off watching for far too long. It's very epic in scope and length - but it's really amazing to see how they can pull off such a large-scaled project. Today everything would be CGI and it's just not the same.
Antichrist - I'm a fan of films that push the envelope, and this fits the bill. Lars Von Trier never tones things down. This is a very dark film and not for everyone's taste due to the sex and violence - I found it disturbing at points but ultimately satisfying. |
