What movies have you seen recently?

Yesterday, I saw the new
Duplass Brothers movie Jeff, Who Lives at Home.

Somewhat predictable, a little corny, but overall a good movie.

Has anybody ever seen Repulsion before? I think I'd go that crazy if I became extremely agoraphobic and stopped my medication cold turkey.

I've seen it. Didn't like it much. While it had some nice stylistic elements, I got the distinct impression that Polanski had no idea what he was doing when he made the film. I forget the specifics but there is some behind the scenes material on the DVD where Polanski is directing Catherine Deneuve and the stuff he is saying sounds exactly like what I say when I don't know what I'm talking about and am stalling for time.

Paris, Texas (1984)

I still like The American Friend the most, but these other Wim Wenders movies I've been checking out aren't bad. Aside from how dreadfully slow they are – I thought Friend was slow, but it's Run Lola Run compared to Wings of Desire and Paris, Texas.

Payback. I've seen it several times before, but it's always fun to watch again. Ah, Mel. I miss the days when you made good movies and didn't flaunt your insanity in public.

Countraband and Safe House

In theaters: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Which was a very sweet little movie (great if you love old, british actors. Since it stars Bill Nighy, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Tom Wilkinson).
DVD: Bridesmaids.

The American it is one of Geroge Clooneys worst movies and very boring.

The Hangover (again.)

We watched a 1972 British horror film on TCM last night called Raw Meat, starring Donald Pleasance. It was slow for a horror movie, but had a surprisingly great amount of gore for that time. If you blink, you run the risk of missing Christopher Lee's brief appearance.

I just got back from seeing The Hunger Games.

I am jealous was it good?

Of course it was good; it was better than good.

$155 million opening weekend; can you believe that?
