The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)

I saw A Single Man tonight, which was such a beautifully shot film. Colin Firth really did an excellent acting job. I could feel his heartache throughout the whole film, which at times made me cry. I'm not too familiar with Tom Ford's fashion designs, but he should definitely direct more films because this guy has a knack for it.

i'm scared of watching this and finding a beautiful film with not much of a context.

Due date was awesome. Everyone needs to watch it.

i've heard it's A LOT like Plains, Trains, and Automobiles. not that there's anything wrong with that.

I've never seen plains,trains, and automobiles. I wouldn't know.

get's me all the time.

I didn't gain much of an insight when watching this film, but it was forgivable. This film was lush and beautiful, and with Colin Firth's amazingly honest acting, it didn't really matter that it just abruptly ended because you felt something throughout the whole thing. I'm not fond of a film with little to no context, but A Single Man is the exception to the rule.

watched a common thread. it was a very good film. i like that it didn't try too hard. it just flowed. and that's a lot coming from me seeing that this was a french film.

I saw Croupier the other night and found out that Clive Owen looks surprisingly good with bleach blond hair. Other than that tidbit it was an okay movie made better by the fact that Clive Owen starred in it.  He really has this way of just making anything more interesting.

I WANT TO BREAK NECKS! THIS WAS SO FUCKIN' BRILLIANT.

honestly never even heard of it, but upon learning Sean Bean was in them, i am intrigued.

I think you're a little biased on that front because you bare a strong resemblance to him, but Clive Owen really does make movies better, so I can't argue with that statement.

The bleached hair scared me at first, but once I got used to seeing him blond I found myself quite liking it. I still prefer him with dark hair, though. I think this was his sexiest role to date, followed by Dwight in Sin City.

[defskull]

So because you think I look like Clive that means I'm biased in thinking that he looks good with blond hair? That doesn't make sense.

Either I wrote that wrong or you read it wrong or both. I meant to say that you think he makes films more interesting because you look like him. It was a comment/slightly sarcastic statement that went wrong.

I saw An Education yesterday, which I enjoyed a lot. Carey Mulligan was cute and charming, and I found myself giddy with excitement whenever Peter Sarsgaard came on the screen. This movie definitely reminded me of my last year in high school, and when an older man started showing interest in me. It goes to show you can be smart and clever, and still manage to act stupid around a really attractive and charming man.

never really happened to me. really attractive and charming men seem to act very stupidely around me. i always held the belief that it was simply because they wanted me to go away or something.

Watched "Going the Distance".

Enjoyed it a lot. Not your typical "rom-com". Surprisingly raunchy.

Plus, really great cast. Justin Long, Jason Sudeikis, Ron Livingston and Charlie Day (from It's Always Sunny). Charlie ("Dan") was definitely my favorite character.

Usually when men act dumb around me it's because they like me. They probably liked you, or were intimidated by your intelligence and beauty or a mix of the two.

yes, i think that too hahaha or there's the borderline chance that i'm shit as fuck boring.

You're hardly shit fuck boring!

I saw a couple of films this weekend. The first movie I saw was Dive, a TV movie from the UK. The main reason why I watched this was because of Jack O'Connell. He's a great actor, yet he is so young. At times, the movie got really melodramatic with the acting and music, but I actually kind of enjoyed watching it. I especially liked the fact that they just didn't focus on the pregnant girl's story, but also on the boyfriend, showing that it takes two people to get pregnant. Very interesting since you don't see that a lot in movies about teenage pregnancy.

I also saw This is England, another movie I enjoyed watching. I'm not too familiar with the skinhead culture, especially in England, so I learned a little something. However, parts of movie disturbed me quite a bit, which was okay since this film was exploring the ugly side of England. I thought the film was well put together and the actor's pulled off some rather difficult performances.
