The Return of What Film Have You Watched Recently

[Libaax]

I saw The Treasure of Seirra Medra which was a different and very good take on treasure hunting,had a western vibe despite it was in 1920s.

I was interested mostly as fan of Bogart who i hadnt seen a film of in a while. He wasnt playing a heroic guy exactly and was interesting to watch.

Stone Cold starring Lance Hendrickson and former NFL pro Brian Bosworth

Like the wisdom from Swayze in Roadhouse, Stone cold has taught me that "God forgives but the brotherhood dont"

If you like Bogart as the bad guy, then I recommend The Petrified Forest, where Bogart got his first break in movies, reprising his role as Duke Mantee from the stage play. While he's not as evil and loathsome in the Treasure of Sierra Madre, he's a good bad guy. I like it when actors open up and not get pigeonholed in their roles.

Bogey always had a bad side, even in his most heroic roles. He started out as a gangster heavy for most of his early career. I remember seeing him going toe to toe with Cagney a few times in films before Bogey broke out and became an A-lister himself. He also excels as the "good" bad guy in films like High Sierra and Dark Passage.

Oh, man; Lance Henriksen chews up the scenery and just owns that movie:

"This reminds me of my father's last words: 'stop, son; that gun is loaded!'"

He needs to bring back 'Chains' for FX's Sons of Anarchy.

Predators: Good movie, taking cues from the original. A wise choice if you ask me.
Paranormal Activity: Another good movie almost ruined by the ending. They should have stuck with the alternative one.
Pandorum: Another good movie, IMO. Tried to keep the big twist until almost the end. Not bad.

I follow a quality actor, i was big fan of Bogart and watched his classic heroic roles. Then i saw my first Cagney film and was blown away. Then i saw Bogart is playing supporting,bad guy roles in Cagney films. My two fav classic era hollywood actors in the same films is like christmas for me :)

Pirahnas. Meh, just couldn't get interested in the film.

The Social Network Brilliantly acted and written. Easily one of the better films of the year.

Can't believe the lead actor is the same guy aping Cera in Zombieland.

Paul Verhoeven's, 1997 film of Robert Heinlein's classic science fiction novel Starship Troopers, only pays a bit of attention to the book but makes up for it with a witty, scary take on fascism.

Starship Troopers is not a subtle movie at all, from the WWII German style uniforms, to a sub-human enemy that must be exterminated, Verhoeven clubs you over the head with his message. But that's okay because in the mix of explosions, graphic violence, sex and Dougie Howser as Himmler, the hit you over the head approach seems the best.

Again, you are a very wise soul. I saw Melville's The Finger Man just a few months back and was absolutely blown away. Such a great picture and Belmondo just oozes coolness. Kurosawa is just an ultimate master. I have never been disappointed with one of his films and his collaborations with Mifune are among my all time faves. I imagine you are into Hitchcock too if we stick with great directors.

As for current stuff, finally caught THE TOWN today and was very pleased. Affleck shows he can not only write terrific films but also direct them. His acting was even quite good here. Renner, Hamm and Hall also excel. It's a top notch heist movie and although I still would say GONE BABY GONE is a little bit better, this is very strong and a Bostonian wet dream.

Finally got around to seeing Devil with my brother this past Sunday. It was pretty good, actually. Started off somewhat dull, with a cast of characters I was anxious to see get offed, but thirty minutes or so in I began to warm up to it. Typical M. Night twist at the end even caught me off-guard this time.

I've also seen Let Me In, Easy A, and The Town this month, and I would rate them in terms of personal enjoyment in that order, from greatest to least. I've been sick for about three months now, so I've been going to the movies a lot lately; the temporary distraction is one of the only things that seems to alleviate my pain.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend all four of the above films, starting with Let Me In. I was really disappointed when I saw it debuted at #8 on its opening weekend. Now I even want to see the Swedish adaptation to see how it compares, and I'm even toying with the idea of reading the original novel. Needless to say, I enjoyed the film a lot.
