The Last Movie You Saw?

The Big Lebowski - the second time I've watched it, and I liked it a lot more this time :D
 
Tyrannosaur

everything in this movie is ugly. "tyrannosaur" is a pet name of grotesque affection. reminds me of that short story where a man finds a rotting horse in the middle of the road. he pours gasoline on it and sets it aflame before going to bed, so he can see what it looks like when he wakes up. i imagine both are commenting along the lines of the contrast ugly provides being a necessity for beauty to exist. the short story is better. in plot, this movie is like a failed paul thomas anderson character sketch. the main character is boring and there are movies much cooler at being ugly.

the bad guy is abhorrent. like, truly abhorrent. he's an extremely unenjoyable aspect of the film. i have a take on his role in things. there's the lady who remains capable of love after enduring so much abuse but with a face no one but an old, dried-up alcoholic would kiss kinda ugly. he's a different kind of ugly.


The Great Beauty

opening scene is top notch. love how it feels so surreal, and then slowly reveals. on many levels. good movie. pretentious. if paul thomas anderson had been raised italian and discovered lsd late in life. i've seen this guy's other film, This Must Be the Place, liked it and was surprised by my reaction, but apparently did not post about it on any message board and don't remember much more.


thank you paul for serving as the gold standard for this post.
 
We need to talk about Kevin

What a disturbing movie! Tilda Swintons performance is fantastic! I liked it so much.
 
Godzilla. Really disappointing. It try to hard to be dramatic and really serious. It should had been more fun, bizarre, like the ending.

Robocop 2014. Never before had watched any Robot movie. I enjoyed it mostly because of Gary Oldman.
 
Maleficent! Angelina Jolie looks beyond beautiful in it. But the movie doesn't have the magic that Sleeping beauty had, it is darker and some plots I liked but some others didn't like. I'm still deciding if I think is a good movie or not.

exciting. been waiting for so many years. a bit longer to go, as i want to see it at home on blu-ray. whether or not it's a good movie, don't think i'll be disappointed with elle as a disney princess.
