Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

that being said, him trying to get out of the fake rhino is one of the funniest things that I have ever seen to this day!

That is hilarious.
The double spears in either leg had me laughing too.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

My opinion is that yes...the end showed that he absolutely was intended to be.


But the rest of the movie went way too far to cover it up.

Edit - And it seemed to me that that revelation had zero impact/power in the end because of it. But I found that message easy to look beyond. The movie was still great even without that part working.

Wow. People really missed the point...

After watching The Book of Eli again...it seems to me that

Spoiler:

he was not blind until the end, and then became blind

Well? If you are so insightful...help us poor dumb people out.

There are subtle hints throughout the movie. For example towards the beginning when he goes in the house where he eats the cat he feels his way along the shelf and is knocking against plates. This seemed odd to me at the time, but I kind of forgot about it until later.

So, he was

Spoiler:

blind the whole time. However, I am wiling to allow that he had some sight that would allow him to look toward the sun and other lights.

When Gary Oldman says "He can't be!!!" and they pan up to show the pages, and I suddenly realized the implication, I became overwhelmed with emotion. Utterly overwhelmed.

The point of this reveal is that it suddenly becomes obvious that nothing he did on screen could be done under his own power. He already seemed to have superhuman abilities, but when we find out the truth about Eli's condition, the nature and origin of those abilities become clear. Makes me think of this:

"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

- 2 Corinthians 12:10 [Webster's Bible Translation]


For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.

- 2 Corinthians 12:10 [Douay-Rheims Bible]


"Wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful."

- 2 Corinthians 12:10 [Young's Literal Translation]

The point was he had faith and all that crap. He had the power of god on his side. Good for him. A badass doesnt need anyone's help! Especially god!

Fair enough...and in the end...

Spoiler:

the fact that the Bible was Braille

should have been enough for me to figure that out. But I still think that some of his actions went too far to mask that detail and damped the overall impact of the revelation...at least to me. Hell...they completely made me miss it.

Once again, though...great movie, regardless.

Right that was the reveal.

Exam 8/10

Pontypool 7.5/10

I love thrillers that utilize a single room as the setting for most of the entire running time i.e. like Cube, Saw, Devil, etc etc so after reading a feature on single-room flicks, I sought out Exam and Pontypool. Both were great watches that take advantage of limited space and budget without coming off as cheap stage plays. Pontypool especially works well as a low-key horror movie.

Rogue - 6/10

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

Shutter Island: 7/10

Pretty good. Although I must say that I thought it dragged on a bit too long. I mean, I could totally see where this was headed, and by the hour and a half point I was ready for it to start wrapping up. If it was tightened up a little bit more, it would have really been great.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

The Hurt Locker 6/10 - Anyone else as disappointed as I was? Pretty average film, IMO.

Juice : 5/10

' You got the Juice now! "

Man that was classic. I grew up in that area. I know all those bodegas and parts of the park.

I say that all the time now that I finally watched it!!
I love how he just caps the "Ma-ri-con" and then just walks away with his gangsta lean!!


And yeah...it also reminded me alot of my hood growing up in the Bronx!

I'm gonna change my rating to an 8/10


---------------------

Amelie:8/10

Planet 51: 8/10 Great animation!

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

The Expendables: 8/10 I liked it more now on Blu, than I did in the theatre. Probably because I knew what to expect now!! Definitely a good action film!!!

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

True Grit: 10/10

Good movie, the cast was perfect, Jeff Bridges was top notch. It even threw in a few things you wouldn't expect in a PG-13 movie.

Fill your hands you son of a _____, indeed.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

The Book of Eli - 8/10

Finally got to watch it! Really enjoyed it as I love Oldman and Stevenson. Of course everyone else delivered a solid performance as well, and a Tom Waits cameo? Always gold.

People are really not picking up on him being blind? Are those people blind? Did they not watch the same movie as me?

They sure don't.

Even the remake 'Small Soldiers' didn't come close.
