How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

Simon Pegg, Megan Fox, Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Bridges

Five-year old movie but I watched it for the first time earlier. Decent comedy. I watched it all and enjoyed it.
If nothing else, Megan Fox cameos for good eye candy. Kirsten Dunst adds good supporting cast.

Hunger (2008) -- 3.0 // 5.0

A History of Violence (2005) -- 2.5 // 5.0

Watched these two last night. Hunger was an interesting movie with a very good performance by Fassbender but the movie overall wasn't too great. It reminded me of ambient music, really, it created a mood more than it tried to tell a story, I think. It's very anti-state, anti-authoritarian, etc., etc., which is cool, but despite the low run time it seemed like scenes dragged on longer than they needed to.

A History of Violence was just too predictable for my taste. I enjoyed the "action" scenes they had in there but never felt concerned for the main characters or bought into their plight, really. There's stuff on the side, like the relationship between Viggo and his wife, particularly the kinky sexual stuff, which wasn't really resolved or expanded on much so I'm not sure what the point of their inclusion was. It's worth seeing the movie to see Viggo's son beat down the bully in that one scene though lol.

Watched two yesterday and one today.

12 Angry Men -- Finally saw this one. Very good movie made with very little, what can I say that hasn't already been said? 4.0 // 5.0

F for Fake -- This one disappointed me. The way the movie was made was extremely fragmented and it was extremely difficult to tell what the Hell it was about in the beginning (I understood about 20+ minutes into the movie, maybe) and it came off like Welles just wanted some odd spin on documentary making. The best things about this film were the stories themselves, which were interesting, and Orson Welles walking around in those ridiculous get-ups he'd wear, my favorite being the full-on cape/Zorro-lookin' deal. 2.0 // 5.0

Sunset Boulevard -- Excellent film, very good dialogue with a top-notch closing scene. I loved the early mentioning of Great Expectations and the obvious comparisons of that work to the plot of this one; with some different spins, of course. Probably one of the best film-noir movies out there. I feel like I need to watch it again to really appreciate this one but I was very entertained the first time. 4.0 // 5.0

Just finished watching this. I thought it was decent.

First 1/4 of the movie there was next to no talking and the rest was fast Irish dialogue I couldn't really understand and, yeah, the scenes were unnecessarily long (The one where he's talking to the priest? He smokes like, 5 cigarettes in one continuous scene.)

That said, the imagery was powerful and the acting was great. One of those movies you watch by yourself unless you have friends that can appreciate film beyond CGI and/or budget...
