What Films Did You Watch Last Week? (10/09-16/09) CLOSED

Hi, Dark.

I didn't like The Predator trailers, will probably catch it on Tv.

Did they interview Kazan himself in the documentary?


Yours:

Splendour in the Grass 8/10

Watched it ages ago, I remember liking it.

Someone's Watching Me! 7.5/10

Is it the one directed by John Carpenter, with Lauren Hutton? If so, I remember enjoying it.

East of Eden 8.5/10

I prefer On the Waterfront, loved it though. James Dean was great.

Predators 6/10

I thought it was so-so.


Mine:

Dragged Across Concrete 8/10

The new S. Craig Zahler movie, got the chance to catch it. I liked it a lot. .It feels too long, but I liked the twists and the 70s vibe. It gets quite gory, but it's human too, IMO. Mel Gibson is very good, he has great chemistry with Vince Vaughn. If you watch it, try to go in unspoiled.

Chato's Land 7.5/10

The movie with Charles Bronson, about a native American who shoots a sheriff in self defense, and is hunted down by a posse of ex soldiers who want to kill him. I enjoyed it, it's a bit trashy maybe. Charles Bronson is cool.

The Ghost of Peter Sellers 8/10

It's a documentary by Peter Medak, about a movie he made in the early 70s with Peter Sellers, a pirate comedy, who was supposed to be a big commercial hit. He had a lot of success in Cannes with his previous indie movies, but then this one ends up being a disaster, with an insane, surreal shooting, everybody going against everybody else. He manages to make a rough cut, even if parts of the script weren't filmed, but Columbia decided to bury it, and it's still unreleased today, I think.
I liked it, it's funny, but very emotional too, you can tell it's something that had a big impact on Peter Medak's life.
