What's the last movie you've seen?

I saw Jarhead (2005). We studied the beginning in class and I thought it looked like a nice movie buuut I should've remembered I don't like war movies (except Full Metal Jacket).
 
I just saw "it follows" in theatres and it kinda sucked... i mean it was horrible but there was something about an std zombie that didn't really scare me lol. Infact it was kind of silly. The acting was ok tho.
 
I saw The Taking of Deborah Logan on Netflix. It was OK, but not the best horror flick I've seen. The found footage aspect of the movie was not completely necessary. Some ideas were stolen from the Paranormal Activity movies, and others were simply gimmicky. I understand they tried to be different by making these a student documentary instead of a home movie or a security tape, but in some parts it didn't make much sense. Why did the diegetic filmmakers create cool 3D graphics when their footage was basically unusable as a PhD thesis film? Was this done by Adam Robitel (the director) in order to differentiate his film from other found footage films?

The plot was not something new or exciting, although it was interesting to see a creepy old person instead of the clich? creepy child (unfortunately, the film did have one of those, but she did not out-spotlight Deborah Logan). Jill Larson (Deborah) was incredible in this, I believe her performance was what made this movie worthwhile, and I loved Anne Ramsey in Mad About You so that was fun.

This movie could have been so much better if the writers focused more on the story and less in the gimmicky security videos and the lame jump scares. There was a scene where a face was visible during a jump scare for no particular reason, and it was baffling to me why it was there. To save you some time from watching it, here is the most exciting/creepy shot. I warn you, it might be incredibly disturbing:

If you like scary movies and don't really care about plot or anything silly like that, then watch it. If you truly want to be immersed in a movie's lore, then I'd recommend something else.

I think the lat movie I saw was The Power Of One I watched it in class a few weeks ago and now we have to write an argument essay on it ;-; the rough draft is due tomorrow but I only have half a sentance done ._. Wish me luck tonight with spilling out ~800 words on some thing I'm supposed to be argueing about. I literally have no idea what I'm supposed to be argueing about tho sooo...
 
Last movie I saw in theaters was Get Hard. Only reason I went to see it is because Will Ferrell is in it. I was actually quite surprised that I liked it as much as I did :)

Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her

honestly I had only seen two or three Godard films before I started working at the video store. Now I've seen a solid 75-80% of his directorial works and he is definitely my favorite director atm.
 
Last one I watched was Baymax I think!
Really sad...;;
Anyone else watched it?
The beginning just killed me and I really liked the movie
Not better than Frozen though, sorry not sorry :l...

I only saw Breathless and Charlotte and V?ronique or: All Boys are Called Patrick and I must say I really didn't enjoy them, but I found them both to be really interesting, so I'll be sure to take a look at the rest of his work (or at least his major movies).
 
Ever seen the skit in Portlandia about that movie? Well, it is less about the movie and more about the type of people that watch that.

I just watched it, it was pretty funny! n_n

Aww I love both of those haha
Pierrot le Fou is probably my favorite that I've seen of his. He just has so many amazing films. Idk it might just be a personal preference thing though!

Cool. I've only seen Vivre sa vie and Pierrot le fou (in class for film studies) and I really liked Vivre sa vie, the other was alright imo
