Last movie you saw... Pinned

I'm gonna watch it after I read your review!^^

^YaY Write what you think here when your done watching it

) aight!

American Beauty: Recommended to me by Katch, finally watched it last night. Quite enjoyed the film, it's very beautiful. However with the ending I'm left with way too many questions unanswered. Why was he shot? Why did he want to reconnect with his youth? I get annoyed in films where I have so many questions unanswered. Lester however is a total sass mouth. Goal in life = embody Lester Burnham in me 9/10

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Watched it so I could understand the book better for English class. I felt kind of confused at some points as who the characters were, what was going on and such, but overall enjoyable. Mr Darcy is hella fine too. If there's ever another P & P coming out, Henry Cavill should play Mr Darcy :brows: 7/10

Was about time And I thought it was clear 

spoiler alert to those who haven't seen

The reason he was shot was because the guy who kissed him, ricky's dad, just outed himself as being gay, and when he didn't feel the same way, he knew he had to take care of it. You saw how he was so protective and making sure his son wasn't gay...its because he was gay himself, and ashamed of it. He had to kill the one link that knew of him being gay. And I guess the reason he chose his youth  to reconnect with is it was the easiest thing to do. In the end it seemed he kinda made peace where he was at in life, and realized that it wasn't all bad. That while he hated his job, his wife, and everything around him.....maybe he didn't. And that he had alot to be thankful for and there was alot of  "beauty" in his world to appreciate

Though many will interpret things from the movie differently, thats what I always got out of it

^I'm inserting myself in this conversation to say that I think you did a great job of articulating the themes of that movie

The Skeleton Twins - I was surprised by how much I liked this movie. Bill Hader will amaze and delight you. The only thing I didn't like was how bad I felt for Luke Wilson's character. He was my favourite, but it felt like even the screenwriter had some disdain for his character. Wearing those weird fivefinger toe-shoes and eating pizza pockets are not crimes, y'all!

Wow American Beauty is an amazing film, such strong roles, such a great story, I feel like that is a movie that is made once in a lifetime, it's so deep, and the fact that it left you with unanswered questions speaks of the brilliance and depth of the movie imo. Most films that are made today don't make you think/question, but this one surely stays with you long after you've finished watching it.

Snow White and the Huntsman

I don't like Kristen Stewart, so I was hugely disappointed to see her play such a role, especially when Snow White is such an iconic character, I definitely imagined someone way more beautiful than Kristen playing that role :X

Charlize was amazing, loved her evil side

Not a bad movie overall. Maybe I expected more.

The Fault In Our Stars - If you read the book, you know the terrible pain that was gonna come your way. I cryed at the book, and I cryed at the movie. Hard. And so did everybody else in the audiance. Sooooo cute, sooo depressing, sooo terrible. Ugh. 9/10. 

You watch a lot of movies Katchitup! Wish I had the time to watch all these.

Yeah pretty much all to do around here with friends is go shopping or watch movies  

Now You See Me w/ Freeman

S1m0ne (2002)

It was good, considering it's from 2002, the concept was well delivered.

"A Million Ways to Die in the West"

Some pretty good laughs. Not as many as I had hoped for.

Three stars out of five for me.

Ah that would make sense, I kinda feel like it was over dramatic that he would do that. I feel bad for the wife though considering it seemed like she wanted to shoot him, but when she saw him dead she realized how bad that thought was and how she really loved him. I still want to know badly what would have happened after the film took place, like what happened to the kids? Why didn't they react more emotionally to seeing a dead man? So many questions  

Puncture (2011) - Quite enjoyed this film. I was at the Warehouse and waiting to buy a birthday gift for a friend, and I found some Chris Evans DVD's in the bargain bin so I bought two for $10. This was one of them and I watched it that night. Found it a very compelling and emotional film. It raises questions on the medical industry, and shows the power of propaganda/bribery of bigger powers. Chris Evans acting was brilliant (I might be biased of course). Some parts are a tad overwhelming though. 7.5/10

"True Grit" 1969 & 2010

One of the best movie remakes ever.

Five stars out of five for both.

Her

:wub2:

She's all that and 10 Things I hate about you

I like these old teen movies.
