Watched Fritz Lang's M this weekend, which was quite wonderful. Peter Lorre's performance was stunning and I wouldn't mind getting the movie on DVD.

And yesterday, I watched Samurai 3, which was a nice conclusion to Hiroshi Inagaki's trilogy. In terms of being a samurai movie, I'd say it's up there with Yojimbo and Seven Samurai.

Blade Runner: Final Cut. Good stuff. Never saw it before, and I understand there's different versions of the movie, which for a long time turned me off watching it. Am I right in assuming the 'final' cut is the definitive version?
Spoiler:
Also, I didn't really understand what happened at the end. I was under the impression that Deckard was actually a Replicant himself (might have read that somewhere, and it seemed pretty obvious to me the 'implanted memories' angle would lead to that); was this ever specified or is it just speculation?

Had somewhat of a horror night last and watched I Walked with a Zombie, which was a nice classic. RKO Pictures' low budget productions are always a bit of fun.

Watched another RKO Picture after that: Cat People, which was quite good. The formula of three scenes of implied horror and one of violence -- which was used in I Walked with a Zombie -- worked nicely.

Later on, I watched The Haunted Palace, which was a nice adaptation of the story by H.P. Lovecraft. The fact that it starred Vincent Price made it more than worth my time.

Then my dad and I watched Casino Royale and it was very good. Figured it would get me ready for Quantum of Solace in some ways.

Here's what Ridley Scott has to say about it:

Spoiler:
I, however, never thought of Deckard as a replicant. It wouldn't make sense for him to be one if his mission is to retire 'em, ya know?
And speaking of Blade Runner, it's gonna be on the tube tonight, so I think I'll watch it.

I hyped it up to myself too much. It wasn't as funny as I had hoped. Regardless it was still very funny. It had a nice little story to it too. It was a good time.

Watched Blade Runner: The Director's Cut this weekend, which was on HD Net Movies. Though I probably prefer The Final Cut, the The Director's Cut is still worth watching.

And yesterday, I watch The Razor: Sword of Justice, which was an enjoyable exploitation martial arts kinda movie. The action scenes and story were balanced out pretty well.

In theaters: Zach and Miri. I was worried, but I shouldn't have been. Excellent entry by Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson, Seth Rogan, and Elizabeth Banks.

DVD: I'm watching a movie called Terror at the Red Wolf Inn, one of my 100 pk entries.

Quantum of Solace. Disappointing. Very formulaic and more evocative of the later Brosnan films than its predecessor. Lacked a lot of the subtlety and memorability that made Casino Royale great.

..Is it sad that I can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater? Indiana Jones, maybe?

What movie have I even watched on DVD??

*freaks out*

Role Models

Laughed for the entire movie. I always thought it looked ok, but it was great, totally caught me of guard. It was probably better than Zach and Miri Make a Porno as much as it pains me to say. But Elizabeth Banks was in both, so no one loses.

Watched a horror movie from 1935 yesterday called Mad Love, which felt ahead of its time. I thought the camerawork was neat and the movie kept me engaged.

After that, I watched The Comedy of Terrors, which was a fun Vincent Price and Peter Lorre flick. It did have its cliches, but it was still a fun flick.

Later, my dad and I watched 3:10 to Yuma, which quite enjoyable. The performances drew me in and I liked the pacing.
