What Films Did You Watch Last Week? (27/08-02/09) CLOSED

Hi, Dark.

Tape sounds interesting. I had never heard of it. 


Yours:

Maybe I saw Permanent Midnight, maybe just parts of it, I'm not sure. I don't remember it much

Rolling Thunder 8/10

I thought it was pretty good. Paul Schrader wrote it, I think.

Saw Mona Lisa ages ago, can't remember much about it.

Taxi Driver 10/10

Masterpiece. It's a joke that Scorsese wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for it.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 8/10

I liked it a lot, it's pretty fun, all the actors are good.

Defendor 7.5/10

I enjoyed it, Woody Harrelson was good.


Mine:

Mission: Impossible - Fallout 8/10

I liked it, it's pretty fun, especially the first half. Rebecca Ferguson is cool. I think I prefer Ghost Protocol, but it's close. 

The Outside Man 7.5/10

It's a Jacques Deray movie with Jean Louis Trintignant and Ann-Margret, about a French hitman, in L.A. to kill a businessman who's in the mob, he does and then he finds out that he's targeted too, and has to find a way to leave the country. I liked it, there's a good cast, there's Roy Scheider too in it. The ending could have been better maybe though, IMO.

The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) 8/10

The original, I like it a lot, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway are great together. It holds up to me. Love the ending.

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot 7.5/10

It's Gus Van Sant's new movie, with Joaquin Phoenix, about cartoonist John Callahan and his fight against his alcoholism. I liked it, I didn't care much for the style at first, it's all flash-backs, flash-forwards, it's really well acted though. Joaquin Phoenix is great, Jonah Hill too, he's Oscar worhty, IMO. Jack Black is very good as well.
