Re: What Movies Have You Watched Recently?
Layer Cake- Great movie. Bristish gangster film (but not in the over the top, crazy accent Guy Ritchie style) Daniel Craig is amazing and you can see why he was selected to be the next Bond.
History of Violence- I think there was a thread about this recently but I skipped it because I hadn't seen it yet. So I finally saw it (I've been meaning to watch it forever now) and was severly disapointed. While the movie wasn't horrible (it was ok) it was nowhere near as good as the reviews made it out to be. Supposedly "One of the Best films of the year" and made all these critics "top ten lists". It was borderline on boring and William Hurt was over the top and laughable in his role. I can't understand his oscar nom at all. When I hear someone gets a nom for 10 minutes of screentime I'm expecting a Rutger Hauer Blade Runner-esque performance. Without all the hype, I would have said the movie was decent but all the hype really soured me to this.
