What was the last movie you watched?

[HEIRESS]

23 dresses/the proposal

fuck you, I've had a hard week/month and needed some fluff in my life :(

[TAL]

The so called Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy by Gregg Araki:
Totally Fucked Up [ok]
The Doom Generation [really good and cameos]
Nowhere [weird and even more cameos]


I also watched Choke. It was fun.

[Rock]

Gigantic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3oz5t4CqE)

John Goodman needs to do less voice-overs and more movies <3

I liked the characters (Especially John Goodman) or at least how well they were played but that movie was a let down.


Sunshine Cleaning. I think Alan Arkin is in my top 5 favorite actors. The movie was alright...nothing special.

[HEIRESS]

yeah, I adored all the other characters too but I just felt like the story-line just ran out on you.

I like Alan Arkin in Indian Summer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107212/)

[Documad]

It Might Get Loud. I really loved it. It made me smile a lot. I needed that.

It was more charming than I expected.

[camo]

Observe and Report.

Dark comedies always take me by surprise.

I saw that the other day. It was a bit of a gamble that paid off after a chuckle or two. The bit where *spoiler*he shot the flasher*spoiler* was pretty shocking/funny :D

[nodanaonlyzuul]

I honestly cannot remember. But I am going to see Zombieland and A Serious Man this weekend.

[MC Moot]

”Bound for Glory”… (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074235/)A biography with David Carradine (R.I.P) as Woody Guthrie,American working class hero and social/musical genius...what a great movie...you can taste the dirt and despair of the great dust bowl years...I’d seen bits of it here and there before but I took it in full last night...excellent...probably my fave music based bio flick next to “Control”...(y)

I'm very keen on seeing it...

[kleptomaniac]

a clockwork orange

my parents said when i was watching that it looked really stupid...but i just ignored them and i loved it.

[DIGI]

The Soloist.

I know I spelled it right, but why does it look weird to me?

Anyway, good flick.

[Rodie]

Just saw Zombieland. Awesome. (y)

Best cameo of the year.

[Guy Incognito]

burn after reading - funny, bit daft but really good performances

[TAL]

ANVIL
The Story Of Anvil

Not really that good.

[paul jones]

Just saw Zombieland. Awesome. (y)

Best cameo of the year.

word up

[TAL]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I only watched it because I recently read volume 1 of the comic book. The surf speak was really annoying.

[paul jones]

. The surf speak was really annoying.

They wouldn't be able to get away with that these days.

[roosta]

The Godfather

my local cinema was showing this. what an amazing film, great to see it on the big screen. old films should be shown more on the big screen.

[MC Moot]

”The Yes Men Fix the World”… (http://theyesmenfixtheworld.com/)can’t say enough,just go see it...move over Michael Moore...(y):D(y)

movie from spain.. kinda dumb actually

[destructo]

Year One.

Better than I thought it would be. Worth a few laughs.

[Gareth]

UP - fun times. i enjoyed it. russell looks like someone i know.
crows zero - miike film with badass japanese kids beating the shit out of each other. stylized violence. amusing enough.

[HEIRESS]

Year One.

a few, but HORRIBLE editing job.

Easy Virtue (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808244/)
it had such potential, but ugh.

[jennyb]

Documentaries...

Outfoxed
Why We Fight
&
Valentino: The Last Emperor

all in the past week, gah I'm such a nerd - LOVED all three.

[kleptomaniac]

grave of the fireflies, both the 1988 anime and 2005 live action version - loved them so much, but so sad!!! :(

[destructo]

a few, but HORRIBLE editing job.

I would have to agree.

[Documad]

Valentino: The Last Emperor

I saw that a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was interesting and I liked it. But then I saw September Issue right afterwards and I liked it better.

I saw the U2 3D IMAX movie two more times (it reopened for a few showings and closed again). Goddamnit I still LOVE that movie!

“Paper Moon”… (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070510/)another movie I’d seen in fragments but watched it in it’s entirety last night…what a great movie…I just had to wiki Tatum O’Neal to see what’s become of her…that’s kind of a downer…I love movies that involve the grift…(y)

i was extremely disappointed by Zombieland. I pretty much thought it was shit.

The cameo however is excellent, and the chick is super hot, but the rest of it was a complete waste of a good opportunity. It tried so hard to be cool. Films should try to be cool, they are either cool or they are not. This is not. A little bit of subtlety would have gone far.

[MC Moot]

”Unknown”… (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450340/) I bought it for a toonie last night…I like Barry Pepper and Greg Kinnear and Jim Caviezel are all right by me as well…it was kinda like “Memento” meets “Reservoir Dogs”…wouldn’t be surprised if it was originally a play, feels that way, most of it takes place in one setting…fun shocker ending….

between myself, my bf, you, and Barb... it makes me feel better. I seriously don't know why that movie has so many rave reviews. It's fine, as you said the cameo is excellent, but otherwise... eh.

Gangs Of New York.

I didn't think acting got any better than Daniel Day Lewis' performance in There Will Be Blood. That is until I saw him in Gangs. Christ.

Great movie.

5 hr plane trip to montreal and back within the last week sooooo:

Terminator: Salvation:
Sorry, but I was entertained.
Sam Worthington, le prrr.

Transformers: Rise of the Fallen:
Passed the time. for some reason I tear up everytime BumbleBee is on-screen. what is wrong with me?

My Sister's Keeper:
Cameron Diaz, you are annoying.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Fell asleep about half-way through, actually I was dozy about 20 minutes in so I really can't give a proper review based upon that.

Heiress, great signature. 30 Rock rules.

Just saw Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell. Better than I would've thought. Probably about a 6.

ghost town - meh, gervais was alright but it wasnt much of a story

ghost town - meh, gervais was alright but it wasnt much of a story


ya, it is really getting to me how NO ONE will put Gervais in a decent flick. The man is hilarious but can't seem to catch a break in Hollywood.

Don't even bother with the Invention of Lying. It was terrible.

Don't even bother with the Invention of Lying. It was terrible.

the stuff he has done thats good he was 1 million percent in control of and was working with people he wanted to whereas no matter how much he says he's involved creatively or whatever there is some hollywood bigshot making decisions above him. plus i dont think hes that good an actor. he's funny but not an actor

[Ty Webb]

diary of the dead it sucked

[MC Moot]

ghost town - meh, gervais was alright but it wasnt much of a story

when I watched that movie the whole time I was thinking how much more potential it might have had with an all British cast set in London...

a friend of mine was watching that at his place a while back and all i could think about was when it was going to end.

[Documad]

I really enjoyed The Informant.

LBJ documentary.. good shits(y)(y)

[mickill]

Year one.

Wow.

I smell an Oscar.

[Nuzzolese]

Assassination of a Highschool President. Forced. Over the top. An audience still stuck in Holden Caulfield territory might love it though (wanting to be simultaneously alienated and adored by the world, bored with life and wanting something more romantic and dramatic without having to actually face reality)

[destructo]

Transformers 2.

Almost as good as the first. Too much going on in some scenes. Also, the part with the Primes explaining to Sam that it is his destiny to revive Optimus was a bit wacky.

[trailerprincess]

Taken. Liam Neeson was kicking arse pretty convincingly for an old dude but thought the trafficking thing was slightly OTT (cue token creepy Sheik)

Pride and Glory - meh. Norton can do much better. Weird beard thing going on as well which was a little distracting.

[Helvete]

Defiance. It was good, I liked Liev Schrieber's Russian. Bond's wasn't as good.

Wolverine X-men whatever the fuck. I liked it.

[camo]

Doghouse. Brit horror flick with female zombies. Stupid reason for every women being a zombie. Plus Danny 'typecast' Dyer. Nonce.

I DESPISED that movie as well! my review is lost somewhere in the abyss of this thread though.

[skinnybutphat]

Observe and Report - It took me a while to get to this one because I saw Paul Blart a while ago and someone told me Blart > Observe. Blart was awful, Observe was dark and fun.

The Girlfirend Experience - How you gonna cast a porn star and not not show some titties?

It was more interesting than entertaining, but not really enough of either for me to recommend.

[MC Moot]

Also watched "The Blob" with Steve McQueen yesterday...classic Americana drive in movie fare...great cheese...I think theres a drinking game to be had here...McQueens character is called "Steve" and it's hilarious how many times the other characters say his name...really,really funny...at one point it was 5 times within 20 seconds...and it doesn't let up for the whole movie...

Eden Lake (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488151/)
`red-neck` english teenagers already gave me the creeps. not im downright scared shitless of them.

Drag me to hell
my and my mom laughed our asses off. my dad started grumbling and left the room to go watch ESPN in peace.

Lying (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488151/)
at some points i almost turned it off but there is something that sucks you in. maybe to see how worse it can get. Jena Malone was oddly the least annoying character in the film. or actually make that the least aggravating, she is still pretty annoying. The last half is definitely better than the beginning.

[hpdrifter]

I finally got around to seeing this movie a couple months back. Excellent flick.

I'm glad to see someone else liked this movie, I liked it a lot too, and it doesn't get much love from anyone.

Taken

it's a very no-frills stereotypical action movie but assuming that that's what it was trying to be, it did its job very well. i mean, it's no die hard, but what is? i'd put it up there with the bourne trilogy. maybe even a little better because the good guy had a more sympathetic motive (really about as sympathetic as motives come, now that i think about it)

i generally don't think of liam neeson as a bad-ass but it turns out he is

“Che: Part 1’…with Benicio as Che directed by Soderbergh…now I can see why it received such little acclaim or acknowledgment…well,besides the CIA’s derogatory covert,black ops media campaign…It seems a lot of effort went into it…it just doesn’t show up or work out…at times it feels suspiciously like “JFK”…at least they stuck with Spanish dialect… everytime Del Toro narrates in English,during the interview bits,it fails…

[hpdrifter]

Finally watched Benjamin Button last night. Too long but a decent movie.

My god Cate Blanchett is beautiful. Who would have guessed anyone could eclipse Brad Pitt's looks on screen. Angelina Jolie didn't even do it in Mr. and Mrs. Smith but in this movie Cate is so luminous you can't take your eyes off her for a second when she's in the scene.

[Guy Incognito]

Near Dark (http://www.filmzone.it/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/neardark.jpg)
pretty damn decent vampire flick from 1987. Totally enjoyed it.

Gone with the wind!
I Have never read the book or oddly enough seen the film. I've caught snippets on tv etc over the years but I sat down and watched the entire thing, so classic and amazing.
Vivien Leigh's face is absolutely perfect from every, single, angle. it's astonishing.
Oddly I wish I had not watched it by myself and saved it to watch Christmas day or something. I wanted to better savour the experience or something like that :o
god, I'm a loser.

[hpdrifter]

There's this old Vampire movie with Mia Sara I caught on late night TV when I was a kid. I remember liking it a lot. Something about her dad being a vampire or killed by vampires or something. Anyway, appropos of nothing...

Also, was that Julia Ormond in Button? Did they make her look old on purpose? Or is she just getting old?

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on the Mr & Mrs Smith thing because Angelina looked delicious in that.

Cate Blanchett is not only beautiful, but possibly the greatest female actor living today.

The last movie I watched was The Warrior (http://www.miramax.com/thewarrior/) again. It's awesome.

[Guy Incognito]

Cate Blanchett is not only beautiful, but possibly the greatest female actor living today.

i would have agreed with you if i hadnt seen her in the crystal skull, she was fucking terrible in that

Angie was most certainly delicious, I love it when she lets her hair be that chocolate brown, no arguement here.

But did she make you sort of forget Brad was even in the movie? No.

Cate did, though.

Well.......yes. But in her defense, she couldn't really ruin the movie since it was already going to suck either way.

Angie was most certainly delicious, I love it when she lets her hair be that chocolate brown, no arguement here.

Um, I don't think that Brad really drew attention away from my preferred eye candy in either film.

[Guy Incognito]

Well.......yes. But in her defense, she couldn't really ruin the movie since it was already going to suck either way.


but she didnt even try - to kinda use a bill hicks phrase- she was all over satans willy in that film. there was no excuse.

[mickill]

I understand, but if even Meryl Streep can have shit pies like Lemony Snickets, She-Devil and A.I. on her resume without it taking away from her other work, I think we should be able to forgive Cate for this relatively minor misstep.

[HEIRESS]

i liked it too

I sort of ruined it a bit by watching the extended trailer before-hand. but still, a memorable movie experience.

Afterwards, Ive never witnessed such a quiet procession out of a theater before. it was dead quiet.

[saz]

were you scared when you got home?

[HEIRESS]

just a little bit, I live in a basement suite so I've learned to live with squeaking floors and random bumps in the night, thank god!

I also watched ”Dersu Uzala”… (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071411/)it’s one of the those movies film school kids and critics claim to be mandatory Kurosawa viewing...sometimes heralded as his best...what a crock...

The Proposal B-
Definitely some good laughs, started strong and fizzled out after the nudity scene.

X-Men Origins/Wolverine C-
Filled with loopholes, bad special effects, and a messy time line in relationship to the true X-men mythology. I didn't know Humvees existed in the 70s.

Twilight C
Girlfriend made me watch it, she said it wasn't as good as the book and I believe her.

overall subpar movie weekend for me.

hmmmm..i don't get this point at all.

the film consciously makes no reference to the towers not being there any more. I watched it (loved it, favourite film of last year) and whilst yes, it of course invokes 9/11 in your mind, i never once thought this story was a trivial footnote.

the story is so good, and so well portrayed, that it really in the end is completely separate to what eventually happened the towers.

It didn't work for me...I felt no sense of tension or danger until the very moment he steps onto the wire...I believe that during the editing of this movie,specific images of the towers and building site were used,that parallel what has become familiar to the mind's eye in the aftermath...this is readily apparent to me and all though there is no reference to the ultimate fate of the building's,outwardly,there was specific purpose behind some of the chosen imagery...without a doubt...I will give the act itself props for being a pretty astounding and somewhat beautiful piece of guerilla art...other than that all it did for me was make me realize I have not seen any of the other doc's it won out over to take the Oscar....

I saw this last week in 3D IMAX as well. Thought it was a great rendition of the story. Very dark. NOT a children's movie.

saw Time Travellers Wife. might be ok if you've not read the book but i have and film was shit in comparison.

500 days of summer, ok but annoyed that zoooey whassername sang sugartown

twilight, but only for the rifftrax. the movie was very bad. the rifftrax was very very not bad. as one of the riffers points out, the main character's sole reason for loving the vampire is that she trusts him not to kill her even though he really really wants to. that is absolutely silly

i also watched transformers 2 just for the rifftrax. again, terrible movie, amazing riff. such a bad, bad, movie though. i don't even know where to start. the racist robots, maybe. i was told of them but they were even worse than i imagined.

i watched it all , its a bit naff at the end but the bit in the blues bar is still funny.

just watched Milk - really good , didnt know anything about the story, was really good , shocking ending even though i knew he got shot and i never realised that was "the twinkie defense". great story and penn was really good

This movie was so amazing...moving. Like you, I knew nothing about the story as I was only a baby back when it happened. Its good that we have people like this in the world who stand up for what they believe in...courageous.

Penn did an outstanding job in this role. He WAS Milk. I know people dog Penn for only choosing Oscar worthy scripts, but the man is so talented.

it was pretty scary in parts, cos i never knew anything about the anita bryant stuff and its sad that shit even saw the light of day and its really frightening it was only 30 years ago. i am still really struggling with why dan white did that, i mean i get it , maybe the movie didnt fully go into his side of stuff i dont know but it was a sad ending

I dont criticize Penn for choosing biggies, he's good at them and if he did a few throwaway's , the biggies wouldnt have as much impact, he obviously throws himself right into the roles and you cant do that if your making 3 movies a year

”The Times of Harvey Milk”… (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088275/)it was on the cable T.V this weekend...a hypnotizing documentary about Harvey Milk...I was another who didn’t know about Milk’s life and story before the Penn movie...the archival footage of Dan White in interviews and during counsel sessions is such a trip...you can see the progress of his mental and political decline so clearly...insane...made me really respect Josh Brolins portrayal...it was bang on...no pun intended...5 and a half years for cold, bloddy hearted,premeditated murder...(n)

my mom saw that this weekend too and was all pumped up and telling me about it, I need to dl it sometime.

Doubt - wasnt holding out much hope at all for this but it was okay, if a bit shorter than i thought, a simple story with really good performances and it made me think a bit.

Last film I watched was Twilight New Moon and it was terrible.

Just joined an online rental site though, so looking forward to a steady stream of DVDs dropping through the letterbox: probably the last ones I selected and only when I actually get around to posting the last one back.

I saw planet 51 this weekend. Yeah, it was a slow weekend for kids movies. I wanted to go see Fantastic Mr. Fox but was outvoted by a 4 year old.

[Miho]

I watched Hardwired, with Cuba Gooding Jr and Val Kilmer; I liked it, overall. It's a science fiction movie about a corporation implanting brainwashing computer chips into people's brains, as a way to control society.

What's funny about Val Kilmer, in the movie, he was overweight and had long hair, but if you look at the cover here (http://www.traileraddict.com/content/sony-pictures/hardwired.jpg), they show a younger Val. I thought that was amusing.

sort of, i had low expectations but the wife wanted to watch it, i think she may have a crush on james corden. horne and corden are getting a bit stale but the ingredients were all there for a good film - two good comedy actors, paul mcgann, vampires, and some fine looking women but there were like two jokes that were funny, disappointing even with low expectations.

I havent watched eastenders since Eddie Royle was in it.

probably the most unfunny cunt ever.why is this man famous and getting paid for it?

i dunno thats a bit harsh, he's been around for years and is a good actor but he's not a comedian. he's good in gavin and stacey, everyone is in that but thats cos its written so well and he did co write it but he's become a caricature of himself doing the robot, singing songs and shouting all the time. he has been around for a long time in obscurity so you cant knock him for making the most of his time in the limelight but yes the joke is wearing thin a bit now.

3. Jake Busey is super blond and kind of red. My bf is strawberry blond and he may be white, but he's not red.

i have watched "dumbo" about 6 times this weekend. never watched it when i was a kid but thought i would let me daughter watch it. i thought it might be a bit much but she was glued to the screen, i thought the pink elephants bit might be too much but she loved it. she's watched all the pixar stuff, shrek and ice age and all that but nothing has kept her concentration as much as dumbo, we have tried a few older cartoons and kids films with her recently and she is transfixed, its either ther colours, the simple stories or walt had subliminals in there.

[Baseline]

^^ Pixar kicks ass! Love it.

Anyway, I've been at Kustendorf (http://www.kustendorf-filmandmusicfestival.org/2010/index.php?p=84) for past five days, saw so many really good stuff: Farewell by Christian Carion, Soul Kitchen by Fatih Akin,
Tsar by Pavel Lungin, About Elly by Asghar Farhadi, The Time That Remains by Elia Suleiman ...
as well as many amazing low budget movies within competition programme.
.. I attended several directors/writers/actors workshops. Marjane Satrapi author of Persepolis, completely thrilled me,
of course Johnny Depp's workshop was a special treat .. great man no doubt, so cool and charismatic but down to earth.
Didn't get a chance to talk to him ''in 4 eyes'' but my friend gave him a blow (http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4893/blowjobsmall.jpg). That has to count, right? :D
To sum it up. Beautiful nature in hills, small woody houses - traditional interior design - see here (http://www.mecavnik.info/wsw/index.php?p=197) , intimately, familiar atmosphere,
true artists everywhere you turn ... perfect.
Almost certain I'm gonna be there next year too.

Oh yea'! Right before I went to this fairytale, I saw Twilight: The New Moon. Good lord what a crap!
still love Kristen tho
