DieselDaisy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Going through some more Bette Davis films...DeceptionReunites the team behind Now, Voyager. It is a good film this. Not as good as Now, Voyager but still good with some nice noir camera work. (I have seen tons of films with Claude Rains recently by the way: Mr Skiffington, Notorious).Watch on the RhineThe World War Two propaganda dates the film tremendously.

Thin White Duke Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Watched Saw 3D (or VII, as you prefer) and the guy from Linkin Park was one of the victims. I secretly enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Part 3 is vastly underrated. Not an all time great by any means but not deserving of the scorn it's always received.If they would have just left the whole "affair with the cousin" thing out of it, it would have done so much better...what were they thinking?

Angelica Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Stone cold masterpiece alert, and has bumped Llewyn Davis down a peg as my pick for best film of 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 In This Our LifeBy far the best of the Bette Davis films I got in this boxset (Deception is close second). Classic, archetypical, Davis performance really. Also has Olvia de Havilland. The Great LieDecent film, pairing an uncharacteristic Davis up against Mary Astor. Not flawless but it keeps you watching.The Old MaidAmerican Civil War era melodrama with Miriam Hopkins. Did not really work for me as a script.

Guest Len B'stard Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Next Day Air - Mike Epps...a lot better than i expected, thought it'd be kinda low rent but it's actually a pretty good film. And the Puerto Rican bird in it, JESUS CHRIST!!! Sooooo fit..According to this she's dominican Edited April 6, 2014 by sugaraylen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame Sharlto hasn't appeared much in American film outside of the Blomkamp films - though Wikipedia says he's working on some stuff coming out soon. I would agree that District 9 was better, still liked Elysium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The Punk Singerdoc about Kathleen HannaTotal valentine, but she totally deserves it, so it works. Re Divergent, it's weak, but that's what I expected. Nowhere near as decent as Hunger Games, and not as endearingly, campily terrible as Twilight. Just sort of...overly familiar and dull. Woodley has chops but she doesn't make anything of the role. I was only really engaged when Miles Teller was skulking about, the love interest guy was a snooze.

Hanna'a one of the most important musical figures of the past 25 years and the film was well done.The Divergent books aren't strong either. They are clearly inspired by The Hunger Games trilogy but fall short. They're not terrible by any means and that's why I was expecting better from the film. The cast made me expect even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poor man's version of The Hunger Games.I remember the week it came out (March 22nd or so), and I was bored so I checked to see what was in theaters. A trailer for Divergent popped up, and until the end when it said the title I genuinely thought it was the next Hunger Games movie (though to be fair, I've never seen either of the Hunger Games films, so my eye wasn't trained for that). The fact that it was "eh" really just goes to show that this is a fairly blatant Hollywood attempt to sell you the same thing twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Tonight was a good night. Watched What Ever Happened To Baby Jane and Bette Davis blew my mind. What a great movie. Incredible acting. Stunning execution.Then I watched 12 Angry Men for the first time. Greatest movie I have seen this year so far. Definitely enters my all time greatest Top 5. Speechless.

Sort of like when watching 48 hours and then watching Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, etc. Edited April 8, 2014 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Watched World War Z last night... considering the production issues the film had, it was pretty good.
