Woah, that is a lot of movies! I'm not planning to see Cloud Atlas, but I finally saw Argo this week and it was really great.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you liked Argo. Initially, I love Cloud Atlas, but I want to see it again to find out whether or not it holds up on a second viewing.
DeleteYou've seen lots of new releases, I'm jealous! Oslo, August 31st I thought was really powerful, the director Joachim Trier's first film Reprise (2006) is also worth a look.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much watched two horror films a day for a while in October, so needless to say I got through a lot!
Haha. I'm catching up, but I still have more to see from earlier this year. Reprise is on my watchlist.
DeleteNice. I still have some horror films I want to see this month.
Wow dude that's a lot. Dying to watch Cloud Atlas, Argo and Perks of Being a Wallflower.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I watch a lot. ;) Hope you like those films!
DeleteOh my goodness! How in the world do you have time to watch sooo many films?? There's no way I could do that with a full time job, ahah. Glad to see you see Dalton's Bond movies, though bummer you didn't rate 'em higher :(
ReplyDeleteWell, being currently unemployed does have its advantages. ;)
DeleteReally liked them both, but I don't rate many Bond films 4 stars.
I'm glad you didn't only see great films this month, a lot of films under 2.5 stars. Does this mean you pick badly or have high standards do you think?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad you didn't like Pirates! Band of Misfits. I guess you got the experience that I expected to have whereas I had an enjoyable time with it.
I haven't seen a single one of your "ten best" picks either.
Probably high standards. Then again, sometimes you just really like a movie that you never thought you would (like Pitch Perfect) or vice versa (like Pirates! BOM).
DeleteI wanted to like Pirates!: BOM more, but it was a big letdown for me. I thought the story was a bit thin for a feature, and the trailer made it look much better.
Take your time, but I'd recommend seeing any of them you can. :)
