What was the last movie you watched?
- Thread starter outlawmws
- Start date
In The Heart of the Sea - (A Ron Howard film). The Essex tragedy,
the real life backstory where Herman Melville got his inspiration -
an awkward film that went too 30 mins too long.
I still prefer "Master and Commander on the Far Side" (a Peter Weir film)

Finding Vivian Maier
This one came out of left of field. I know zero about this woman or this film. I borrowed this from the local library. Quite a remarkable story. Aside from the astonishing life of this woman, is the fact that her entire story would have been completely unknown if it wasn't for a chance purchase of her belongings in a storage shed auction. The film is basically told by the fellow who bought her belongings at the auction. This is true life cinema. Recommended. No explosions here.

Toscaninichus Australis
Macbeth (1971) a film directed by Roman Polanski, starring Jon Finch, Francesca Annis and Martin Shaw. A superb Macbeth on all counts!
Action Point - Another Johnny Knoxville hoot about an old unsafe and whacky theme park. I guess this is roughly based on a real place in Jersey called Action Park

This is a very good film!

Was that any good? Anymore I'm leery of the Jackass-type movies as that whole thing (and the health of the guys in the show) peaked a decade or more ago.

Land of the Dead (2005)
Pretty decent zombie flick. Despite having a larger budget and some moderately big name actors, it just didn't have the magic that George Romero's original "dead trilogy" did, though. (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead for those that don't know)
Rats: Night of Terror (1984)
Semi entertaining Italian horror/exploitation cheese fest. Combine The Road Warrior and Night of the Living Dead, and substitute the zombies with rats.

Dumb humor but cute and funny too. Sweet little story because it is him as a grandfather telling the story to his grand daughter.
If you have not yet seen it, one funny movie with Johnny is a Jon Waters film with his crew, Tracy Ullman, and Chris Issac. It is called A Dirty Shame
The trailer doesnt quite do the movie justice

Yeah I saw that on video years ago. Been a big fan of Selma Blair ever since. I think I queued it up on Netflix with Pecker at the same time; good Waters double feature.
I'm her fan too!

"K-PAX" (2001) Stars Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges
A Sci-Fi/mystery/fantasy in which Spacey is an institutionalized mental patient named Prot, who claims to be from a far-away galaxy. Bridges is a shrink who becomes fascinated with his patient.
IMHO, this film is way underrated. Check it out if you get a chance.

I saw that too. Intriguing, and a good performance by Spacey. Shame about him -- I always enjoyed his work.
