Saving Private Ryan

A classic World War II film from Stephen Spielberg starring Tom Hanks. If you haven’t seen it by now, please do. And if you watch Castle, look out for Nathan Fillion’s cameo!

10/10

Heavenly Creatures

Two teenage girls plan a murder of one’s condensending mother. They fall in love along the way. What a beautiful story. Kate Winslet is cast as one of the girls in this not so ‘Picnic at the Hanging Rock’ Aussie teen thriller. I just love Australian cinema, and if everything is as good as what I’ve seen so far, than I’m really happy I moved over here.

10/10

3096 Tage

Incredible adaptation of Natasha Kampusch’s heartbreaking story of kidnapping, the 8 years of captivity and escape. This film was equally brutal and painfully honest as Natasha’s amazing autobiography.

10/10

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

One of the few teen classics I yet had to see, and now I have and I absolutely loved it. Onto Dazed and Confused.

10/10

Adore

Also known as Perfect Mothers. Naomi Watts goes back to Australia (she’s British but moved to AU with her mom and brother at 14) and along with Robin Wright sleep with each other’s sons. I adored it.

7/10

The Girl

Who would have thought this is how The Birds were made. This film shatters my view on one of my favorite directors.

10/10

Carrie

Rewatched the original before going to cinema to see Julie in the remake.

10/10

Jaws 2

I just love Jaws so much. One of my favorite horror subgenre, next to slashers and rape and revenge, is ‘shark and water creatures’ horrors.

10/10

We Were Soldiers

What a beautiful film from and starring Mel Gibson. Watch out for the talanted Madeleine Stowe, who plays Mel’s wife and helps deliver the shattering news of soldiers’ deaths to their wives. This is one of the very few films Madeleine starred in after retiring to a ranch in Texas 16 years ago.

9/10

Mary and Martha

A film starring Hilary Swank I never heard of  until I turned on HBO and it randomly popped up today. The film depicts focuses on the problem of malaria in Africa, as Hilary Swank tries to learn more about circumstances of her son’s death and the last few weeks of his life.

8/10

Avenging Angelo

By know you may have realized that I had a Madeleine Stowe marathon. I never realized how many intriguing films she was in, especially back in the 90s! I recommend this thriller to everyone!

8/10

Bad Girls

Western with prostitutes. Yeah, if you’re a straight guy or a gay girl reading this, you’re already looking for this film in online shops. Watched it this week and then I ran to HMV to get it on DVD. It’s not about prostitution, it’s about girl power. Women have always had it harsh. Any era, any time there is a conflict, a violent man can always threaten women with rape and that’s it, that’s how abusive people win over women. Even as strong as Madeleine’s character in Bad Girls. Bad Girls is a fun western, be ready to see Madeleine Stowe kick ass, and be a little bit disappointed with the other three ‘bad girls’ (Mary Stuartson from my other favorite film Green Fried Tomatoes, Andie McDowell and Drew Barrymore) wait around and disappoint.

7/10

Short Cuts

Julianne Moore and Madeline Stowe in one film, yes please! I know that this film is partially famous for the scene where Julie recites a long monologue, naked from waist down. I am always very protective of actresses, because of how Hollywood works, and the certain things that are expected of them in order to go far in their career. I do not mean couch casting, I mean unessesary nakedness. But when I look past scenes like that one, (there’s quite a few of those), it’s a really good film. I cannot find it on DVD anywhere, but I will one day.

8/10

The Addams Family

Both films are amazing, I hope I’ll get to see the TV Series one day.

8/10

The Addams Family 2

7/10

Curse of Chucky

Certainly better than the third one, and I’m happy they’re still making Chucky films. There can never be enough of them. The other creepy doll I love is the ‘living dummy’ from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series from the 90s. But Chucky is creepy and hilarious! And he actually got kid’s soul this time.

The 80s were awesome.
Chucky, I’m scared.
And you fucking should.
Women. Can’t live with them, period.
Just keep your fucking mouth shut.

7/10

Resident Evil 2

Yeah ok, the third one was much better and it had little Spencer Locke in it. This one is not at all memorable.

7/10

Revolutionary Road

Leo and Kate back at it. Too sexual for my taste, and nowhere near as good as Titanic.

8/10

Vampires

If it’s not Nosferatu, The Lost Boys,  Stake Island or The Hunger with Catherine Deneve, I don’t care for vampire films, but I loved everything about this one.

9/10

The Way Way Back

I love crying at family movies, here I could barely squeeze one tear when he was leaving.

5/10

Ramona and Beezus

I tried so hard not to watch it, even though it has Sandra Oh in it, but then it was on and  it does have Sandra Oh in it.

4/10

I am going through some serious withdrawals, and I’m forcing myself not to start a new show. Thankfully I finally have time to watch some films, better or worse ones, still make me incredibly happy.

The English Teacher

What does he think of all this?
He said I should go to law school. I have to do something and law school is something.
Oh no.
So I’m probably gonna do that.
Oh Jason.
All great art comes from pain, remember that.
You can’t go three feet in this school without hearing about you and Shakespeare doing it in the classroom.
Hey, Miss Sinclair, I wanna bend you over your desk.

6.5/10

What Maisie Knew

I need the soundtrack.

8.5/10

Children of a Lesser God

10/10

Restless Virgins

The final monologue was amazing.

I watch a lot of Grey’s Anatomy.

It’s not often you have a moment when you actually feel yourself throwing up, figuring out that what we wanted was less important than who we were. I wanted to get into an ivy league school, but not at the cost of my soul.

Now none of us new exactly what the future held. So much for the five year plan. Although maybe that was the best that come out from all of this. Figuring out that life doesn’t stop just because plans change. George Bernard once wrote ‘Youth is wasted on the young’. Hey George, you can have it.

7/10

Blow Dry

Excellent.

9/10

Me myself I

It reminds me of Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow, where she did and didn’t make it to the train, it’s just better.
When is mommy gonna be home.
It’s like another life.
Sure seems like one.
Damn you, cannot take away her life.
Absolutely loved it.

10/10

Hotel New Hampshire

What a great movie.

8/10

Mental

Hilarious.

5/10

Muriel’s wedding

So much love for this one.

Now my life is as good as dancing queen.

10/10

Maverick

The poker parts and the wit.

8/10

The Conjuring

7/10

Elysium

Without Jodie this film would suck, and why the hell did they kill her off?

4/10

Trespass

Loved it.

7.5/10

The Departiate

Fine, but nothing special.

4/10

The Descendants

A fine film.

7/10

Frequency

The flashbacks and the calls were great.

4/10

The suicide shop

Loved it until they all decided to live happily.

6/10

Simpsons The Movie

If only it was realistic.

7/10

Frankenweenie

I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare it to anything, but the Tim Burton drawings and the creepy atmosphere were truly intriguing.

5/10

Easy

The low budget screams through the movie, but it was not that bad. I was streaming take off that neck thing through the entire film.

Shes the one and in just an easy chick.
I just don’t wanna do what I ve been doing it hurts too much.
Im celibate.
What’s that like?
Remember you showed me your lisense you looked like homer Simpson.

5/10

The Space Between

Good, though at times too slow.

You wanted a happy lady you should have hired Mary Fucking Poppins to take you home. Yes I know I said a bad word.

7/10

Lincoln. Silver Linings Playbook. Not Without My Dayghter. Mrs Doubfire. Catch Me If You Can. Sinister. Nine Miles Down. Taken 2. The Assassins. Losing Isaiah. Unknown. The Cave. Freshman Fall. Little Black Book. Girl Fight. The Internship. Rogue. Bunnyman.

The remaining films I watched between December – August. For some reason I haven’t posted them yet. The notes got lost between the move, and uni and work and another move.

Lincoln

With The Impossible movie of the year.

10/10

Silver Linings Playbook

10/10

Not Without My Daughter

No film has ever scared me as much as this one.

10/10

Mrs. Doubfire

I am job.

10/10

Catch Me If You Can

What an amazing film.

9/10

Sinister

Not as good as Insidious, but still creepy at times.

7/10

Nine miles down

I was truly surprised by this one, even though I found some of the acting annoying.

8/10

Taken 2

Almost as good as part one.

Do you know how to shoot?
No.
Then drive.

7/10

The Assassins

Yet another action film with Stallone, Julianne Moore, again playing just an accessory to men and Antonio Banderas in the role I actually almost liked.

7.5/10

Losing Isaiah

7/10

Unknown

Disappointed with this one.

5/10

The Cave

Not nearly as good as The Descent.

4/10

Freshman Fall

An amazing and inspiring lifetime film.

I can’t concentrate. I don’t eat. I can’t sleep.
I drank too much, I forgot I haven’t eaten and I went upstairs with this guy and he had sex with me.
It was the first week of school, I went to this frat party and things got out of control.
I said no. I didn’t want to, but he wouldn’t stop. He wouldn’t listen to me. He ripped off my clothes.
Just because you knew the guy, doesn’t mean it wasn’t rape. If you said no, and he did it anyway, you were raped.
I shouldn’t have gone upstairs.
I don’t want you to think any less of me. Mom, I was raped. I had too much to drink, it was dumb.
Still that doesn’t give anyone the right to rape her.
It’s not fair that he could do that to me and just go on like nothing happened.
Why are you doing this to me?
Because you raped me.
As if rape can be mediated.
Rape is rape whether a woman’s drunk or not.
If there’s any doubt in your mind, she means no.
You’ll what? Rape me again?
Nothing like that could ever happen to me.
It’s my turn, so shut up. I’m talking.
I thought if I pretended that it was no big deal, it would just go away, but it didn’t. I forgot who I was and why I came here. I lost my scholarship, I lost everything.

10/10

Little Black Book

I modelled then I barfed quietly.
Oh good, narration.
Would you look at this cervix?
Textbook.
Damn proud of you.
How do you know her?
We did a show last year on bulimia.
I got sick that night and not on purpose.

10/10

The Christmas Hope

7/10

Girl Fight

5/10

The Internship

7/10

Rogue

Not impressed.

4/10

Bunnyman

I really do not think the girl would be jumping on a tree right after being raped. It was very low budget, but also very gore and good.

The End of The Affair. Hannibal. Psycho. Crazy. Stupid. Love. Savage Grace

06 Wednesday Mar 2013

I have figured out the way to post as frequently as before, I have downloaded this app for my Galaxy Note and now I can write just as much as I want.

This week, surprise, surprise, yet another Julianne Moore marathon.

The End of the Affair

All the jealousy, ‘He killed me with jealousy, you’re killing me with love’, blaming God for talking her away from him. A sensational film. One thing I don’t understand is, if she died of tuberculosis, he does know he’s gonna die too, right? Why was that was mentioned? Or have I seen True Women too many times as a kid?

10/10

Hannibal

What I love about this sequel is that there is more action than in the first part. In The Silence of the Lambs, I was not intrigued by the side story of that girl from Greys getting kidnapped, but absolutely fascinated with the Clarice/Dr.Lecter relationship. It must have been really hard for Julianne to live up to Jodie Foster’s creation of Clarice, but she did a great job in the end. What I really liked was that after all those years both Clarice and Lecter still obsessed over each other. The last act is psychopatically good, starting with Hannibal dressing Julianne into this dress (off scren, you pervs) and serves the brainy meal. How her hair gets stuck in the fridge and they finally kiss and he chops off his hand instead of hers and finally the scene by the water where she identifies herself as Agent Clarice Sterling.

10/10

Psycho

Why do they keep doing remakes of the best films ever made, what is the point? Classic stays a classic, no remake is needed, as no remake is going to be better than the original. The sister and the boyfriend were my favorite characters, no doubt. I really do not see Vince Vaughn as Norman, in some scenes he was good enough, in most just average. I would have not watched it if it did not have Julianne. Remake like any other remake, nothing more, but not disastrous.

7/10

Crazy. Stupid. Love

For more than a year I have been telling myself, I’m not watching this, even on the plane three weeks ago I could have watched it and did not. Somehow I did end up watching it, as I had a need for a light romantic comedy type kind of film. First of, we all knew she was her daughter, why would you put Emma Stone with Julianne Moore in the same film when there is no other lead female characters. The fight outside their house was absolutely hilarious, I rewinded it two times, Julianne’s ‘Jessica!’ killed me, so has the parents meeting where we find out he slept with 9 women. I was actually nicely surprised with this one, not the dating part, for a 21st centry romantic comedy, it was really decent and I definitely recommmend it.

8/10

Savage Grace

One of my favorite Julianne Moore movies, though the plot does not stick to what we read about the family presented in the film. The incest scene was the best scene of the whole film, but there were many unconsistencies. I knew the threesome was made up, as that did not make sense at all. The mother wanted to fix him, by having women sleep with him, she would not allow him to make out or maybe even sleep with her boyfriend, I am not surprised they got sued for going too far. The next thing that was absurd was that the murder happened a few mintes after the incest, they made it look like he blamed her for forcing him to do this, when we read that the affair was an ongoing relationship and even if they wanted to go this way, he let her, there is no way he would have killed her right after this scene. What is more, we did not see any signs of his madness, she was outgoing, butnot crazy, and so was not he. The should have focus on his disease. The film does not say that he has played with knives before. The bathroom scene, though one of the best, it was nicely implied he had sex with this boy, but the mother was not angry, though later, she could not stand his homosexuality. The last point is casting, I know the character was a beautiful woman herself, but it would be easier to understand the issue if the mother was played by a less attractive actress, no man feels sorry for the son when Julianne plays the mother. Despite all the flaws and plot holes it was an incredible film.

Learning to recognise the best blues songs in history for my music class, while writing my grades of what I have seen these past two weeks, most of these I saw during my flight and let me just say Quantas’s Oscar collection is pretty amazing. At the moment I cannot remember two films, shame on me, but so much is going on, I will update when I finally remember.

Born on the 4th of July

9.5/10

Klute

The music was fabulous, old horror and thriller like. The writing is excellent. Did not see anything special in Sutherland’s performance. I loved how often the tape was played.

And for an hour… for an hour, I’m the best actress in the world, and the best fuck in the world.

9/10

Chloe

Everything is perfect, except for Amanda Seyfried. Julianne looked exceptionally beautiful. I have seen the last 10 minutes already in 2009. The best scenes where when Katherine tells her husband ‘I slept with her’ and when Chloe says Katherine how she felt her in her son when she slept with him, or how she looked at Katherine shoes when sleeping with her son.

8/10

Schindler’s List

The first part of the film was a bit weaker, but then It was all a perfection.

10/10

Loving Annabelle

I have no idea why I ended up watching this, I must have been drunk or something, but hell I swear I was not. Annabelle is just so annoying, sure someone grabs someone’s hand though they know that person doesn’t like them. I think it was some sort of soft porn. The ending was good though, but I really hoped she stayed in prison, but as Annabelle’s mother is rich, we all know that is not going to happen.

2/10

Far From Heaven

Did not know whether to ship it or not, other than that It was all intriguing.

9/10

Magnolia

The scene where everyone is failing is beautiful.

8/10

A Single Man

What a beautifully made film. I loved the ending, the last act though was not good enough. The friendship was amazing.

8/10

The Unforgotten

It was not bad until the ufo came. I loved how he did not remember her at the end.

5/10

Shelter

The film did not move me at all, the ending did though.

4/10

The New Daughter

I feel like there was no good scene except for the very ending, where the kid thinks daddy is coming, but daddy is dead and the creatures are coming.

2/10

Game Change

Who cares, in 48 hours no one will even remember who she is.

9/10

Elevator

It was pretty much boring, till this guy decided to click the bottom outside, and I was all he’s gonna get cut, and then when I saw this girl was playing with the buttons again, I knew it was gonna happen. That scene was super tense and very good, I could not stop saying ‘holy shit’. What a stupid kid. And then when he was trying to press the up bottom I knew he would accidental press down and his head and arm is going to get cut off. Of course here the scene was screwed up and there was blackness for way too long. Oh no, no, no! The chubby one can’t get out, that is just not fair and so extremely depressing. ‘I guess I’m the hero.’

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled.

Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
