Last Film You Watched

I like Kermode, he seems to be the only one, who actually calls some big money films out for what they are.

Where as a lot of the others seem to try to play it safe.
he's great to listen to, but is prone to hyperbole sometimes...and i certainly disagree with him on thinking the exorcist is the greatest film ever!
 
12 Angry Men - 7/10, worth a watch deffo, there's a modern remake with Adama I wanna check out
Rear Window - 5/10, sorry Alfred!: You weirdo
Sunset Boulevard - have it, not seen yet: Black and White, didn't think I'd like it, ended up seeing why it's considered a classic. Superb film
The Thing - 6/10, tho' not seen for many many years, worth a rewatch then: 6/10 you mad fool

Blade Runner - 9/10 for the Final Cut thanks to more Vangelis, no voiceover, and perfectly-weighted ending.
Shawshank Redemption - 8/10, imdb's number 1 film
Glengarry Glenross - never heard of it: Spacey, Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Johnathan Pryce: Get it into ya
Pulp Fiction - 9/10, supremely fun!
Casino - 6/10, meh...poor man's Goodfellas: Wrong Goodfellas is a poor man's Casion

I like him. A critic who appreciates high end thinky stuff but several times I've heard him call out a lot of fashionable directors for pretentiousness, being plain boring or living off their reputation. Also like that he is not above giving a big commercial monster or B-Movie style flick praise if it warrants it.
