Recently Watched Films

A thought provoking film: after death, you spend one week in limbo, where you must pick a single memory to keep for eternity but forget everything else. The alternative is being stuck in limbo and become a social worker.

While not as classic as the first one, I consider this rather underrated.

Far from Bond at its best, but all in all a fun enough film. This is the one older Bond I know I've seen before, but only a couple of scenes remained familiar to me.

I've always said this one was unfairly maligned but watching it again so close to the originals does show it up as weaker. The problem was never that they made a female Ghostbusters, the problem was that they made them seem a lot more incompetent than the original male team. I do like the largely DIY feel of their gear in this version though.

This is quite weird even for a Wes Anderson film. Flitting constantly between colour and black and white film and sometimes to animation, as well as an ever changing aspect ratio, as it tells different stories from the final issue of the fictional magazine. There's a large ensemble cast of Anderson regulars and newcomers, but I wouldn't rank this among his best.

First screened 16 February 1922, so it's 100 years old. Creepier than the 1931 Dracula, but a bit sillier in places, with some of the silent actors overacting too much. Hadn't realised it was an unauthorised adaptation of Dracula. Bram Stoker's heirs sued, won, and ordered the film destroyed, but copies survived.

I was under the impression it debuted on March 4th, 1922? I've been actively planning to re-watch this on its 100th birthday so I'll be quite disappointed if it was actually yesterday.

It was probably an advance screening or something. Looks like March 4 was the official release date.

Now THAT was an uncomfortable watch...

I can understand why it was controversial, but I think the controversy about the age of the actors misses the point. This shows what kids are exposed to, and of course will try to copy it. It also shows the difficulties facing women in some cultures - the cause of the main character acting up is upset for her mother and herself because her father is taking a second (bigamous) wife.

Anyone finding it at all arousing has some serious problems.

NOT an Iron Maiden song, and here's dumbass me thinking it was. LOL

Anyway, great movie. For a non-actor, Frank Sinatra does really well (the academy agreed - he won an Oscar) and doesn't seem out of place round Burt Lancaster and Montgomery Clift. And Donna Reed and Deborah Kerr playing against type were excellent too.

Now the only Wes Anderson on my list to watch is his first one, Bottle Rocket.

My all time favorite Wes Anderson Movie!

As a kid, I went to the summer camp this was filmed at every year, Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island!

Based off of the life of actor/producer, Gary Goetzman, Licorice Pizza follows the misadventures and exploits of 15 year old boy, Garry Valentine, and 25 year old woman, Alana Kane. The movie has lots of short unresolved plot lines that almost break it up into several related short films, with everything connected by the strange will they/wont they relationship of Gary and Alana. Overall, I thought the movie was very interesting and enjoyable, but it also left a lot of questions unanswered, which was kind of unsatisfying. 8/10

Pretty good factual drama (with some embellishments and inaccuracies). I visited this place many years ago and it was pretty underwhelming, but the film's quite enjoyable.

ok, this rules

^What did you think of the Uzumaki movie? I’m a big fan of Junji Ito, but I heard a lot of the film adaptations of his works weren’t that good
