Todd Haynes' Safe.

Julianne Moore was excellent and the movie itself was ...erm...interesting?

I thought it was a great movie. Slow burn and low key in a good way and very well written dialogue. It really shows how seemingly little things can nudge your life in whole new directions sometimes and all of a sudden you find yourself in a whole different place both geographically and emotionally.

I prefer the old flicks before the men started all that trimming and shaving.

Oh, I totally do as well.

Purple Rain?.......

yeah, yeah, I know.....but VH1 airs it a millions times, and whenever I'm channel surfin in the middle of the nite when I can't sleep I can't help but stop and watch it.

We are closer to the mother country than you are. Maybe that's why we understand and you don't.

dunno, or possibly the sound was EQd all wrong on our stereo

Tech problems are not an excuse. Get that fixed so you can enjoy this awesome film like the rest of us.

Julianne is the woman!!!

Did you see "Chloe"? It was pretty good.

No, I haven't seen that but I'm dying to see The Kids Are Alright with Julianne and another favorite of mine, Annette Bening.

I thought it was a very interesting film (almost like a horror film sometimes), very well directed and acted but I have to admit the ending left me pretty much cold. But I guess the ending suited the overall coldness of the film quite well.

I really loved the other Haynes-Moore tandem, Far from Heaven, though.

The Unborn.

I wish I could have unwatched it.

Just watched an Austrian film from the Criterion Collection called Revanche over the weekend. Thought it was absolutely brilliant.

I'd highly recommend Revanche as well. 1/2

Im about to watch this on Netflix tonight.

I saw I Love You Phillip Morris the other day. It was too tragic to be funny, which would have been fine if it hadn't tried so hard to be funny as well.

Cute li'l movie!

I'm afraid to borrow this one after the last one

Machete

the girl who played with fire....not very good but i love the female lead in it....a really f**ked up computer genius who doesnt take any shit from men....the first film in the trilogy is well worth seeing...the girl with the dragon tattoo....

I saw these two last night:

The Milk Of Sorrow (La Teta Asustada) (2010) - Peruvian woman struggles to cope with her crippling fear of everything while trying to raise money to bury her recently deceased mother. (out of five)

Animal Kingdom (2010) - Australian teen gets unwillingly drawn into his family's gangster lifestyle. 1/2

milk of sorrow (I don't know spanish so well, but I'm guessing the title translates to "the frightened teat" )

The last 4 i saw where

Machette- Fantastic fun, would see it again=]

The Expendables- Mucho disappointed!, Sly come on man! i love you but this was lackluster, a few funny lines and a few good action scenes but mediocre overall

The Last Exorcism- Strong first half, weak and stupid second

The American- Beautifully shot, but it just needed more to the story, and the ending was beyond lame.

You are correct! The movie is based on the belief of how Peruvian women lived in constant fear of rape back in the 80s and early 90s and transfrerred that fear to their daughters through their breast milk.

A documentary more than a movie but I wanted to see it.

Why do I insist on torturing myself? Like I'm not depressed enough going into the grocery stores.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I loved it. Makes me want to go to Spain right now. And the soundtrack is gorgeous!

Caged (1950) - Naive young woman becomes hardened behind bars. Women in prison--'nuff said. 1/2

It's a classic kitchen-sink type English film from 1970, love James Mason he was a brilliant actor and a bit sexy too even as an older man.

Tagline:

Sex and the Single Girl (1964) - Tabloid writer (Tony Curtis) uses neighbor's (Henry Fonda) marital problems as a means to seduce a popular psychologist (Natalie Wood). Women sure have come a long way since then.

The American. Everything was great... except the story. Hard to give it a favorable review without that. I even liked the slow pace to it but it didn't build up to anything special. However, I had no problem with the ending-- in fact that's how I might've left it myself-- but you're kind of left to wonder why exactly we got there other than the general nature of his business. Neither the characters nor the story itself were well thought-out.

I saw Machete a day or two before that and while it's really just a popcorn movie, it was atleast a good one.

The Burning...campy 80s horror. Good cheesy fun, but nothing special.

The Squid and The Whale & Margot at the Wedding from Noah Baumbach.

The first i thought was excellent and very honest. The other i did enjoy but it felt as though Noah had gotten stuck with his characters and didn't really know where to go with them.

It did have about the best performance I've seen from Nicole Kidman though.
