Grumpy Old Men (1993)

I love the dry humor and I love it when old men are grumpy. This movie made me laugh and I'm not ashamed of it. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are great together.... More

To quickly sum up The Pledge, it is a movie about Jack Nicholson going crazy. It was interesting in parts, but not enough to keep me captivated. I kept waiting for it... More

Closely Watched Trains was kind of a shock to watch. I would never have expected a coming-of-age sex comedy from 1966 czechoslovakian film. Once I figured out what this movie was, though, I couldn't help but somewhat appreciate how ahead of its time it was. In general, films about a young adults sexual escapades aren't really my thing, but this wasn't that bad (although his 'adventures' were still a little ho-hum to me). I saw a lot of similarities in style to Wes Anderson, and I have to assume this was an influence on his work. The framing of the shots, the subtle humor, and the somewhat mundane characters were all features I enjoyed. Overall, not a bad watch.

I've been wanting to see this for quite a while... too bad it only grabbed a 7 to you, but maybe my comic leanings will kick it up a couple points for me, plus I'm even more interested now with your Wes Anderson comment.

It almost landed an 8 from me, but I kind of got sick of the focus on a certain 'health' problem he was having. At first it was funny, then it just got old (You'll know what I mean if you see it.)

Well, I was wrong, I grabbed this a couple days ago and I ended up pretty much sharing your reaction exactly.

I've also finally got Real Girls at home, so I'll be watching that soon.
