June: Monthly film wrap-up?

Hey Suicidal :D

My June in terms of films, was quite boring and bland. I didn't exactly watch that many films at all, it's really been quite disappointing as I haven't exactly had the time lately. Anyways...

1. "Hesher". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403177/

I'm not too sure if I watched this in late May, but this was easily the best movie that I had never seen before. I absolutely loved it, it was quite sad despite how crude it was at times, similar to the way "Superbad" was touching despite the constant crude humour. I also think that "Prometheus" is pretty good, but I don't know if that counts.

I also really want to list "Drive" down as well, as I know for certain that I saw that in June and it's just a film that I really loved, it's slow pacing, the Driver, the soundtrack etc. It all came together and formed a fantastic film.

2. "Prometheus". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/

I went to go see "Prometheus" which was fantastic. I thought my viewing experience was taking away from the full experience though, I was pretty sick on the day that I saw it. I had a runny nose and a bit of a cough, but I still really wanted to go see it so I did. I thought it was fantastic, the themes and exploration of those themes really made it a deeper film than what I imagined it to be. Overall, a very enjoyable film.

3. Hmm, I wouldn't really add it to me all time favourites but if I re-watch it again, I might add "Hesher" into that list.

4. Yes, I re-watched "American Beauty" with my Mother two nights ago if I recall correctly. I also re-watched "Leon: The Professional".

5. I estimate around 5 or 6. There was "Hesher", "Prometheus", "Leon: The Professional", "30: Minutes Or Less", "Drive" and "American Beauty".

I hope that July is going to be more eventful for me. :D

1. What was the best movie you watched that you had never seen before?

Red Lights

2. Did you go to the cinemas? If so, what movies did you see and thoughts on them?

I saw Jaws, Red Lights, Lay the Favorite, Chernobyl Diaries,MIB3, Prometheus, The Pact, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter & Topcat The Movie. Jaws was awesome so was Red Lights, Abe Lincoln was cool, as was Prometheus, but Chernobyl, The Pact, Topcat and Lay the Favorite was four of the worst films I've ever saw in a cinema.Men in Black 3 was very average!

3. Last movie you added to all time favourites?

Mysterious Skin - beautiful film!

4. Did you rewatch any movies that you hadn't seen for a couple of months?

Donnie Darko, Batman Begins, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and Goon

5. Estimate how many movies you watched in June.

around 25+

OMG suicidal nice idea. gotta do it every month. notice that this section is on it's way towards a comeback? I love it

1. June was a busy month, and also a TV watching/movie rewatch month. So unfortunately I think the best movie I watched for the first time was Kingpin lol

2. nope. I was supposed to go see Prometheus last night after 10 but everyone was too tired and we forgot about it. next month's Q I'll have at least 3 theater movies (Spidey, Savages, TDKR)

3. I rewatched Eastern Promises and it entered my top 100

4. I rewatched a few that I hadn't seen for a couple of YEARS! lol. Adaptation, City of God, a few others I can't think of

5. 12

nice Q and I look forward to July's wrap up!

Hey Madeleine!

1: Jeff Who Lives at Home 9/10. We Need to Talk About Kevin and True Blood Season 4 were some Highlights.

2: Nope.

3: Jeff Who Lives at Home will be somewhere in the Top 50.

4: Wow. I didn't rewatch any in June. Thats gotta be a first.

5: 7 Movies. Thats a new low. But I read 2 novels and watched 12 episodes of True Blood.

* You Too.

Well, hello there, Miss Suicidal! This is a great idea for a question!

1. From June, the best movie I saw was probably either A Bronx Tale or Almost Famous. Both of them are very well written, well directed and highly engaging movies.

2. I saw Prometheus in June I think. I did like it, but it was far from perfect.

3. Battle Royale. That was over 4 months ago though.

4. Not for a couple of months, but a couple of years actually. I rewatched "Revenge of the Sith" to see if I could reconnect with my childhood a bit. I do think the movie is pretty good despite its flaws. I also rewatched Borat, a very crude, but funny mockumentary.

5. Probably about 30

Awesome question as always, Madeleine! Hope you had an awesome weekend!

;)

P.S. I could be wrong, but I believe the trials were coming up. I wish you the best of luck in your exams!

Liam! How many mouths do you need?

Just dropped by to say hi. :)

1. Battle Royale

2. Nope, haven't been since last summer (fully a year - I know, I'm crazy!). I'm planning to break the fast on Friday though - probably watch the new Spiderman movie. I love Andrew Garfield, excited!

3. Battle Royale

4. Rewatched Legally Blonde - I don't even remember watching it, but I know I did!

5. 11 exactly:

Snatch, 25th Hour, Super 8, O, Othello, The Big Lebowski, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Butterfly Effect, Legally Blonde, Battle Royale, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

1- Didn't watch many movies last month, but I did finally get around to watching Cowboys and Aliens, it was an excellent movie and thoroughly enjoyable but it was a much better western than sci-fi, I kinda wished it had just stayed a western to be honest. My runner-up is Fright Night, I love comedy horrors.

2- No, hopefully this month I'll make the time to go.

3- Midnight Run, one of the best comedies I've seen and probably my favorite De Niro role, it's hard to not be cheery after watching this movie.

4- The Lethal Weapon series was on TV a couple of weeks ago.

5- Including the ones I turned on for background maybe 11.

Hey Suicidal :))))

1. Either Chopper or Paprika, loved them both

2. Yeah a few times. I saw Ted today which was funnier than I expected, probably a 7/10. I also saw Promtheus 9/10, The 5 Year Engagement 7.5/10, Dark Shadows 7/10 and The Avengers 7/10

3. Happy Go Lucky

@Comrade, a mutated 4 mouth smiley is the happiest of the emoticons

4. This is Spinal Tap

5. Probably about 20

:) You too!

I have a list! lol

1. Moonrise Kingdom, We Own the Night, and all of the three Duplass Brothers films were my highlights.
