What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

I tried to watch 44 Inch Chest and quickly became bored and woke up on the coach surrounded by empty St. Arnold's bottles and a turkey sandwich.

Joanne Whalley is still bangin'. /av

It has some of the best dialogue since Winstone's last gangster flick with that other guy who shouted a lot and brought about the end of British imperialism in India. I think his name was Yahoo Serious.

This is a Wes Anderson film gone incredibly wrong. While I don't believe it deserves the amount of praise it gets. I willl agree that the acting really sells the nature of this incredibly fucked up family. While the incest is difficult to watch, the sporadic yet harsh violence is even worse.

Enter the Void.

Some of the most incredible technical work I've ever seen married to a strange and tragic nonlinear drug odyssey.

The acting is no match for the visuals and can sometimes veer toward the amateur level, but since the storytelling is built more around the visuals and aural abstraction that is not really an issue.

I think Noé has taken drugs before.

American - The Bill Hicks Story.

Solid, not amazing. The technique is very similar to The Kid Stays in the Picture and is often both entertaining and enlightening, but there's honestly not much insight that fans won't have garnered from American Scream and Love All the People. That said, the contributions of his family and some of the rare footage and the context it gives makes it worth a watch and I enjoyed it (after a doobie in Bill's honour).

Sweet, Ben! Must check it out, as I'm a slave to all things Hicks.

LOVE Bill Hicks. God, his bit on MC Hammer...

In some alternate universe there exists a Marc Maron podcast with Bill Hicks.

The best part about Bill Hicks was that he was legitimately PISSED OFF about what he was talking about. The rage AND the humor came through at the same time, and it was great to laugh and get worked up at the same time. You definitely had to be in the mood for his brand of humor, though.

[Ben Thomas]

That's the most interesting point the doc makes - he found a way to express his bitterness when he discovered alcohol, but he found a way to stay lucid and biting when he went clean.

'Dinner for Schmucks"

Wow, what a giant waste of some funny people. The best part of the movie were the dioramas that Carrell's character made and Zach's dickie. Otherwise I mostly had a bored smirk on my face the whole time.

[BillyG]

I need to see the original one.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, Allison Eastwood, and The Lady Chablis his/herself! Great flick from Clint Eastwood, though it plays a bit fast and loose with the original book. Definitely worth a viewing if you're into mysteries, character studies, and courtroom dramas, as well as all things Savannah.

I like parts of it. Spacey creeps me out in that.

[Timothy225]

I'll admit, there are spots in the film that drag a bit, but all-in-all it's a decent film, and I found myself sucked into it.

Agree with Spacey - I think the creepiness was more to do with his character being a bit slick with his actions (might've also been a carry-over feeling from his role in Seven a couple of years before). Plus, it seemed like he was gently putting the moves on Cusack's character, too. Still, Spacey did a great job as always, I thought.
