What movie are you watching?

[claypipesarchaeologist]

Just watched "Her" yesterday. One of the few movies I've ever watched that didn't leave me feeling like a nap would have been a better use of my time. Fantastic film.

Watched Cool Hand Luke again last night, Kennedy was the man, Newman as always was the star but Kennedy star shinned brighter. Nobody can eat 50 eggs, What we have here is a failure to Communicate. Great Movie. :worship:

That was a hard one to watch. I read the book first, which gave a little more insight into what great guys they were. Watching the explicitly graphic scenes of the awesome men getting cut to pieces was not a pleasant experience for me. I started to walk out of the theater several times, but didn't. Wish I had.
Well done movie, just very hard to stomach.

I watched it on Direct TV 3 nights ago, didn't know if I could, halfway thru I started crying and got up and went into my pipe room, lit up and pondered. Didn't think it would do that but half way into Saveing Private Ryan I had to walk out. So I"m 2 for 2 , Old age maybe? I have Lone Survivour for 2 days but I won't finish it.

I watched "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in Netflix last night. It was interesting from a cultural perspective in that even though the abject and slightly maudlin patriotism comes off as being dated (1939) and naive at the surface, I soon realized that it was completely nonpartisan in presentation. Of course Jimmy Stewart was such a young man then, so he played the part perfectly. Claude Rains was great too.
I don't know if such a movie could be made today with the culture of "identity politics" we have now.

We re-watched "Stand Up Guys" last night ... third time for this one.
Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin do a great job in this one.
There is a good mix of action, humor and emotion / drama.

Ride With the Devil directed by Ang Lee. Deals with the Missouri-Kansas border war. The rising young cast includes Tobey Maguire, Jeffrey Wright and Jim Caviezel. All are young men who join up with the Confederate-sympathizing Bushwhackers. Yep, Jeffrey Wright fights with the Bushwhackers.

Shutter Island. Another great one from Scorsese. Oh, and Sir Ben Kingsley smokes a pipe in it.

Got my horror fix last night with the "Conjouring". It wasn't too bad. Some disturbing areas that give that creepy uneasiness.

Watched Machete Kills last night, and The Ghastly Love Of Johnny X again today just to see my name flash in the credits again :crazy:

Was feeling nostalgic yesterday so I watched "Roman Holiday". Gregory Peck, Audry Hepburn, classic movie.

Black Dynamite. Hilarious spoof of 70s Blaxploitation flicks.
