Last Movie You Watched

These aren't the sort of films I recommend to most people. Only to those who are interested. These films are quite extreme, especially the two films from Serbia, which are really unlike anything I've ever seen. They are both high quality films, with great camera work and compelling ideas, but they aren't for the faint of heart. Now, the American version of A Serbian Film can be watched by most, but that is because it is severely edited, making it altogether a different film from the original intent.

Thanks for the link to the unedited version of A Serbian Film...I'd watch it now but I just ate! 

Another difficult movie to watch is Nacho Cerda's short but gruesome Aftermath. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

What about Irreversible? Ack

On the Internet, nobody knows you're not Bill the Cat . . . .

It's definitely a high quality film.

The worst scene in Irreversible is able to be seen on Youtube, if you're interested in that.

Which is the worst, the murder or the rape?

I'd say the rape, but you can watch both.

I'd say the rape

I agree.  (Having seen the film once, I think my curiosity is sated, though.)

I agree.  Having seen the film once, I think my curiosity is sated, though.

I get that. No need to really watch any of these films more than once.

Irreversible is a great film, although I like Noe's other two feature films a bit better: I Stand Alone and Enter the Void. He's one of my favorite current directors. His partner Lucile Hadzihalilovic is also a filmmaker; her debut Innocence is excellent and bizarre, although in a very different way from Noe's films.

Don't really agree that Irreversible is great, but I do like Noe's other films, especially I Stand Alone. I've not seen Innocence yet, but it does seem oddly strange, plus is stars Cotillard, whom I adore.

Enter the Void is some of the most brilliant filmmaking I've seen in years. Completely captivated by its style and substance.

I loved Hadzihalilovic's Innocence, nothing like Noe, all odd atmosphere and creepy insinuation, and very beautiful. Based on awesomely titled Mine-Haha: Or, on the Bodily Education of Young Girls, a novella by Frank Wedekind, better known as playwright, author of Lulu.

Yeah, it does sound pretty interesting, and they should have used the title of the book for the title of the film.

I saw SOURCE CODE. Like most movies these days, it wasn't great and it wasn't terrible. Just sorta there, I guess.

The Naked City (1948)



This movie really tried....that's about it. Barry Fitzgerald in the lead role was interesting as he usually lends as support, which he shines in like The Quiet Man and Going My Way.  Too many misplaced light moments to call it a noir....which makes it hard to watch as you do not know when to take the scene seriously or with levity.  Other character actors in it as well and you will recognize Howard Duff from his roles from TV.

Except The Avengers, you are spot on, Dave.  I have taken to make sure I go where the popcorn is great, so I at least have that.

THE AVENGERS was too much fun.

My friend that is working on the second Thor movie (see your old avatar) said that he was talking with someone that worked on it.  My friend told him that one of his favorite scenes was where Hulk whipped Loki around like a rag doll.  He told my friend that that scene was almost not let in by Marvel, but the director talked them into it.  For some reasong, the folks at Marvel did not think that it would work.  Except for Cpt. America telling Hulk to smash, it was my favorite scene as well.

A lot of great scenes with The Hulk in that movie.

My favorite aspect of the film was Hulk/Banner, the whole movie was great, but finally seeing The Hulk in a more heroic role is something I've been waiting years for. And Mark Ruffalo was perfect, a little bit of nerdiness, a little tragic, a lot angry.

The first time that they really made the Hulk character....well, a character.  Like my friend pointed out, if you have Banner and the Hulk opposing each other all the time, it is hard to cheer for the Hulk, or anyone.  I, for one, want to cheer for the Hulk!  He also mentioned that it might be good bringing in his friend Rick Jones, so the Hulk can play off of another character that is on his side while as the Hulk.  Kind of like he did with Cap toward the end of the film.
