Ah, you saw Hick. I really don't get where that movie was going. Also, it is awesome that you saw Perfect Sense. That is one of the most underrated films in recent history, I believe.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Hick was a mess, and not in a good way. I'm surprised Perfect Sense came and went so quickly, with no awards play. I really liked it.
DeleteWoah, that's a lot of films. I'm hoping to see some of those soon, especially Sound of my Voice and Take this Waltz, finally.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Yeah, those are two you should definitely check out.

ReplyDeleteHave you seen "l'appartement"?
Great movie.
I haven't seen it yet, but I want to. :)
DeleteI am in awe of how many movies you watched last month! It's cool that you got to see The Great Escape in a theater. Is this the old classic with Steve McQueen as the "cooler king?"
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to squeeze in a lot of 2012 films before the end of the year. :) Yeah, that's the McQueen film. Love it!
DeleteI'm also in awe Stephanie. It's amazing how you can watch sooo many movies Josh. That's cool that you're able to review a lot of them too!
DeleteThanks! I'm always amazed by Tyler at Southern Vision (http://magnoliaforever.wordpress.com/), who sees even more films than I do on a monthly basis!
DeleteGlad you loved Skyfall, and I really must rewatch On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which I've only seen once.
ReplyDeleteYou should check this interview with Lazenby, a clip from the new Bond documentary, he has a few fun anecdotes up his sleeve:

OHMSS is one of my new favorite Bond films. I actually think Lazenby made a good Bond too.
DeleteLove that clip. Didn't know that Lazenby never acted before Bond. Now I want to see that documentary. :)
Omg. That's a lot of movies...
ReplyDeleteHaha, indeed. :)
DeleteGreat selection of films! I wish I had more time to watch as many films as you did!
ReplyDeleteMy best of November: Dersu Uzala
My worst of November: Killing Them Softly
Thanks! I need to see both of those, but I'll probably see Killing Them Softly later this week.
DeleteAnd thanks for the follow! :)
Really good going, looks like you picked well too, not heard of Hick but with half a star from you I can't imagine it being very good.
ReplyDeleteThis week I'm going to the cinema 4 times, I'm quite excited, but then I always am with the start of outdoor cinema; Argo, Two Days in New York, Ruby Sparks and Killing Them Softly, I have high expectations.
Haha. Hick was really bad, but I was intrigued. It stars Chloe Grace Moretz as a rebellious country girl who heads to Las Vegas. Total Recall just beats it for worst of the year.
DeleteNice lineup. Should be seeing Killing Them Softly soon myself. :)
