What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

"i wanted to drop a bomb....". That scene was fun.

I was gripped all the way through.

HuhHuhHuhHuh.

Watched The Rundown this morning. Fucking love that flick still. The Rock is such a badass.

'Do you understand the concept of the Tooth Fairy?'

I was worried Dwayne would never live up to the promise of this film, but thankfully he seems to be on the right path now. This is still his most entertaining film to date.

I'm with Ben on ZD30...I thought it was phenomenal.

Tried watching J Edgar. Turned it off. Bad on many levels.

[Matt]

So it was doubly bad, then?

[Nathan]

Not sure what happened there. But yeah, it was twice baked in bad sauce.

Just rewatched part of that. I didn't hate it. far from loved it, too, but still.

I watched MOST of Silent House (My wife keeps grabbing the remote away from me to continue her seemingly endless Mad Men marathon, so I still haven't cokpletely finished it, but I've already seen the well-telegraphed big reveal. At 1st, I really dug this film, as the image of her trying to be quiet under that table the 1st time while her assailant was in the room was a well done exercise in on screen tension. But by the third time they went to that well, and the guy kept reaching out & grabbing her, then letting her go, I started to think this film was really kind of lame. They explain it in kind of a cool manner, but the fact that the onscreen action does not jibe at all with reality - all the angles on the vantage points to the assaiants' shenanigans are wrong, for instance - really detracts from its believability & effectiveness. It almost feels like they're cheating, not giving you all the clues to the mystery correctly.

Watched a bunch of movies this weekend (I was laid up with an injury):

TAKEN: Rewatched this. Still a great little action romp
TAKEN 2: Not as good as the first but still enjoyable. I'd watch a 3rd entry.
THE MECHANIC (Statham version): Still my favorite Statham movie. My only real complaint about the film is that the dialog is very low in the mix in a lot of scenes, causing a lot of rewinding to try and decipher what was said. Great action throughout with better acting than is generally merited in these types of films.

Also, I started THE RAID: REDEMPTION. Holy shit.

After The Americans we were in a spy mood, and watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Fuck is this movie good. Great. Yeah, definitely great. The world needs more super smart adult films filled with who's who of British central casting.

YES.

I still prefer Crank and Safe, but yeah, it's pretty good.

Oh yeah.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the shit. A film you have to pay close attention to as the twists and turns spool out. Love that flick.

Raid:Redemption this weekend. Yep it was amazeballs.
