I've just been to the cinema to watch Blades of Glory.



Anyway, it was quite amusing. Certainly laughed out loud a few times, but then I generally do (even during horror films and the like :D).

I recently watched Alpha Dogs which is not a brilliant film but has a very emotional climax.

Blades of Glory - one of the funniest films I have ever seen.

Smokin Aces - Very graphic but exciting action flick. Though the plot is poor and filled with holes.

Office Space - An excellent concept with some brilliant characters and hillarious dialogue.

Stranger than Fiction - Beautiful, quirky and intelligent. A must see for all (not HoppyFrood...)

Karate Kid I - Wow this film has aged excellently and its themes still stand up in todays world. :)
 
Hah. Well, thanks, Lace. All right, all right, it was very funny. I laughed a lot. I was still angry at not being able to see 300 when I wrote that :p
 
The Princess Bride, well most of it at least, I was flicking through the channels and it was inconceivable not to stop and enjoy it again.
 
Last weekend, we went and saw 300.

Great looking. Good battle scenes, but not that much of a story.

Through most of the movie I had a feeling of watching a very long and very cool looking cut-scene for a game like God of War or something similar; I almost expected healthbars to show up. It wasn't until a good bit into the movie that something happend which cause me to care about what happened to the characters.

Not a waste of time, but not all that memorable.
It's entertaining, but nothing else.
 
The other night I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Thought it was quite good.
 
I saw earlier tonight Casino Royale for the second time. It was almost better this time than the first which was amazing even then.


The chase scene early in the film is awesome.
 
Star Wars :)

I relented and bought the original triology on DVD - the ones with the original unaltered versions.

Han shot first!
 
I might watch either Uncle Buck or Plains,Trains and Automobiles tonight.

I love watching John Candy
 
Saw this unbelievably awesome 70's SF flick called Phase IV about super-intelligent ants - no they're NOT giant-sized and they're NOT shooting laser beams out of their eyes - taking over their immediate world...the movie takes itself fairly seriously, and is genuinely creepy and astoundingly well-shot. A crying shame that this unfairly obscure movie does not appear to be out on DVD this far.

Ona friend's recommendation a group of us trooped off to see Mr. Bean's Holiday, where the lovable doofus makes a (sponsored) trip to Cannes. I thought the first 3rd was strictly okey-dokey with very tame stuff, but things pick up a great deal after that. Standout scenes include Bean as a movie extra playing a Nazi stormtrooper, doing his improvisations of the heil salute and the goose-step, and a gut-busting finale where he alters the cinematic masterpiece of an utterly self-obsessed American auteur (totally scene-stealing and ovation-worthy performance from the criminally underrated Williem Dafoe).
 
Borat. I got a couple of chuckles, but mostly it was lazy and trashy.

Spiderman (1) was on the tube last night and I agree with HardScienceFan, Sam Raimi is one of the greats.
 
Heh you are a swede? It was on tv3 last night, we recorded it cause we were watching football.
 
Nah, I think it's being played on every TV station in the world cause of Spidey 3 coming out. I could tell you that it was on just before the cricket, but who cares about cricket?
 
The lst movie I saw was "Requiem" a German film about the exorcism of a mentally ill girl. Very well made and a superb performance by Sandra Huller but I thought it ended abruptly, before what would normally be considered the main part of the story.
 
I dont know if this counts but I have been watching "The 4400" on DVD. I am impressed, very original sort of sci-fi stuff.
