Movies you've recently watched

[Admiral Yi]

Rewatched Biloxi Blues last night.  The cherry popping scene is not as gut-busting funny as I remember, but still pretty funny.

Just rewatched part of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  Clint's daughter is yummy yummy yummy.  Why doesn't she get more work?

[DisturbedPervert]

Knowing.

Didn't like it.

Me too.  I should have known better than to go see a Nick Cage movie, but Ebert was ranting about how it's the best movie of the year.

21.  MIT students led by a prof (Kevin Spacey) count cards in Vegas.

SPOILER!

They get caught by security consultant Lawrence Fishburne, who of course beats the shit out of them. 

So my question is what is stopping them from just going to the cops after the beating?  Are these beatdowns a cinematic invention?  Do the casinos have an understanding with the local cops and/or DA?  According to the movie card counters are not breaking any laws.

Love interest is played by the chick from Blue Crush.  Good to see her getting parts.

Yeah it's kinda retarded. I suppose they could get more money from the casino by settling the lawsuit than from counting the damn cards.

Lots of Season 1 of Damages - spoil me not Hans and Garbo

I Spit on Your Grave.  A horrible and possibly deeply misogynist film that I can't really recommend unless you've a penchant for video nasties.  If you want a rape-revenge filmi I'd suggest the far more moral and generally better Irreversible.

Yeah it's kinda retarded. I suppose they could get more money from the casino by settling the lawsuit than from counting the damn cards.

Or they could just "disappear." Remember, Vegas was created by the mob.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is on MGM. Perfect lunchtime entertainment.

[Syt]

Dammit, it's a cut version. TV sucks.

No thanks.  I prefer my rape revenge films to be in tentacle form.

Brideshead Revisited

Eight miserable gay British young aristocrats raised by oppressive Catholic mothers (all against the backdrop of exotic locales of the pre-WW2 world) out of ten.

This film kinda ticks all the boxes with me though so I can be biased.

[Scipio]

Buena Vista Social Club.  Quite a hoot.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Re watched Sexy Beast. Holds up well. great acting from everyone in this picture and an interesting take on the "just one more job" genre of heist film.

9.000001 Fat guys in Speedos outta 10

Taken- Really pretty damn good. Especially since it just appeared from nowhere.

God that movie was tedious I couldn't sit through the whole thing.

Anyway I am watching Milk now, you would be proud of me.

I think the movie was good, although the first half was definitely much better than the second.

Try reading the book

I hear the film's a bit shit.  I watched the old Jeremy Irons version a while ago and thought that was very good.
