Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[Despare]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (this morning at 12:30 AM...)

I liked it a lot, I watched Order of the Phoenix (for the first time) before watching this one so I was finally caught up. While leaving the theater two of my friends who love the books said they left a HUGE part at the end out though and would have been one of the best action sequences from any of the movies.

Bronson

The first 20 minutes or so the style was a bit annoying, just the naration was a bit overdone. Then when it settled more into the story it turned into a rather decent movie. There wasn't really much of a story in it to be honest, but still it was entertaining to a degree.

6/10

Hellboy 2

This was a rather fun movie, easy to watch and doesn't make you think to much with some cool effects and new characters.

7.5/10

I liked Hellboy 2 better than the first one.

Last two movies I've seen were Severance and Moscow Zero.
In some ways I liked Moscow Zero, but it also seemed like there could have been more to it?

Bruno (2009)

Hysterical, edgy, shocking, quick and satisfying. American audiences might find it easier to laugh at Cohen's previous big screen character, a naive foreigner, but Bruno has just as much to say about what we find acceptable and what we don't- and where the exceptions lie. Contrary to some, I actually quite enjoyed the lesser narrative storyline; this outing moves quickly, like an extended episode from Cohen's original TV series, and rapidly changing scenarios come at an enjoyably fast pace. There is a broad range of humor here, ranging from slapstick (go ahead and take that word literally) to embarrassing interviews, and while the jokes can come jarringly naked, they always have a timid side to them, begging us to reconsider their extremities and completely redefining farce and mockumentary. To say that it is no Borat is a cheap way out; Bruno is full of good ideas and dares to be the provocative stunner we rarely get to see.

Knowing. Pretty good with a shocking end.

The Third Man (1949)

A classic mystery, set in post-war Vienna.

Even though some have the twists are sadly diluted - let's face it, anyone watching this today already knows Harry Lime is still alive right from the start - it still tells an engrossing story with some real surprises and a phenomenal cast.

Not only that, but it's also a great technical achievement. I've rarely seen such brilliant use of light/shadow - to go into detail would be to further spoil things for anyone else that's yet to see it, but the infamous reveal has to be one of the most stunning shots of all time.

I was also pretty impressed with the score. It seems out of place at first - a jaunty, upbeat zither accompanying a dark and foreboding mystery? - but you soon realize that it carries an almost cynical bite to it, and ties in perfectly with some of the themes of the film.

Orson Welles - even though his part is really little more than a cameo - manages to create a wonderfully charismatic villain, and is just one of the many highlights of this spectacular film. In a true testament to his talent, he delivers one of the most famous lines in film history - a line that he came up with himself:

"Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce?

The cuckoo clock."

Indeed. One of the all-time greats.

Fingerprints ~ for some reason, I really wanted to see this, and now I have no idea why. :p It was mostly annoying, the characters weren't likable or believable in the least (what the hell was up with the mother?).
