Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

The Flowers of St. Francis (1950) - 6/10 - Nine vignettes are shown to illustrate the teachings of St. Francis. There are some nice visuals here and a bit of humor now and then, but overall these didn't do much for me. Flowers of Shanghai (1998) - 6.5/10 - The film follows a few courtesans at vario...

I just went with what I would likely vote for. If it gets me last place, it gets me last place. :D

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

Werckmeister Harmonies (2000) - 6.5/10 - The film is shot fairly well and I liked the theme music and a few of the scenes, but overall I slightly prefer Satantango even though it is nearly three times the length of this film. She Said (2022) - 7/10 - This film tells the tale of the New York Times i...

The Northman (2022) - 6/10 - A young prince sees his father murdered by his uncle. The boy flees and years later returns as an adult for his vengeance. The film is well made, but I didn't really enjoy it that much. Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) - 7/10 - A young woman named Adèle is a high school...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Supporting Actor

Quan will probably win, but Keoghan would be my choice out of the five. I certainly liked Keoghan's performance more than that of Gleeson. Brian Tyree Henry was very good in Causeway, but you're right that it probably wasn't widely seen and feels like a minor film, though I thought it was pretty goo...

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

Argentina, 1985 (2022) - 8/10 - The Trial of the Juntas in Argentina is dramatized here, focusing on the lead prosecutor, Julio Strassera, his family, and those who worked with him during the trial. It's pretty well acted. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) - 8/10 - This version is set in fascis...

Re: Categories One-by-One: International Film

My personal preferences: 1. All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany) 2. The Quiet Girl (Ireland) 3. Argentina, 1985 (Argentina) 4. Close (Belgium) 5. EO (Poland) It wouldn't bother me if The Quiet Girl pulled off the upset. I have it only slightly behind All Quiet on the Western Front. Close and EO ...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Live-Action Short

I would rank them as follows:

1. The Red Suitcase
2. An Irish Goodbye
3. Le Pupille
4. Night Ride
5. Ivalu


The Red Suitcase was my favorite by far with An Irish Goodbye a distant second, a cut above the next two.

Re: Unseen 2022 Oscar Nominated Films

I'm down to 5 unseen nominees now. I'm planning to watch Argentina, 1985 on Prime tomorrow as well as Pinocchio on Netflix. After that, I'll have to wait for Women Talking, The Whale, and Living to hit VOD. That may happen by the end of the month since Women Talking is scheduled to come out on BD/dv...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Documentary Short

I thought this category was a lot better than the animated category this year. None of them were exceptional, but all were at least decent. Here's how I would rank them based on personal preference. Rankings 1. The Elephant Whisperers 2. The Martha Mitchell Effect 3. How Do You Measure a Year? 4. St...
