What is The Last Movie You Watched?

It was a (minor) criterion in my decision to move to York from Cambridge, where there is an excellent arthouse cinema. The pluses for Cityscreen in York, aside from the opportunity to watch non-mainstream films in a civilised environment at reasonable prices, are a riverside location with terrace, a fine restaurant and bar, and all in a brand-new state of the art building. I've been going there at least once a week.

Interesting. There was a time when the most interesting thing to see in York was a train arriving in the station. It is, I believe, one of the most poetic train stations in the UK.

You are kidding, aren't you? There's more history and stunning old architecture in York per square metre than in London any day.

And the station is indeed magnificent - genius to design it over a graceful curve. Consider it a gateway to a cornucopia of wonders, the capital of the north.

I caught Ed Wood last night on DirecTV. My favorite Tim Burton film. Very entertaining and the performances so well-done. Thank you, Martin Landau.

I never get tired of seeing Ed Wood.

Oblivion[2013]

Savages[2012] Now THAT is one TWISTED FUCKED-UP movie...
None of the characters(no matter how sympathetic the light) had ANY redeeming qualities...Almost hated until "the Ambush Scene"....
Should be viewed along with Traffic[2000] & The Counselor[2013](preferably as the "meat" in the sandwich) by any dickhead pol/policy maker not in Denver or Olympia as to WHY WE NEED TO LEGALIZE cannabis...my $0.02...

"August:Osage County " Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan Macgregor , Sam Shephard and other notable thespians all acting like crazy in a depressingly theatrical film version of Tracy Letts stage play. All very intense but you don't care about any of the dysfunctional family tearing each other apart. Streep over acts and Julia Roberts actually upstages her. Set in Oklahoma, but most of the action is indoors. Every scene proclaims that this is "a play" and it must have been better on stage. I wouldn't bother.

This clip and the preview I saw in the cinema on Sunday suggests this is a film of people shouting at each other. I am surprised to see the word 'acting' associated with Julia Roberts, that would be a departure from her normal near-comatose imitation of a tailor's dummy, ditto Ewan McGregor, a sure indication the film is not worth seeing. Not sure why anyone would call a man Tracy -I think he is also an actor and was in the latter episodes of Homeland. By the way is it me or do nearly all Americans in films now speak with a southern accent?

Thanks for that. I'm not much for the broad either.

Last I heard he roadkill'd himself leaving show biz entirely. Maybe he ran off to become a Shiite.
