What was the last movie you saw?

[Spade]

Perfume... and then I tried to watch Fast Food Nation.

 

[SidMarl]

Sense and Sensibility

 

[quixotic]

Madame de Bovary

 

[Majimaune]

Ratatouille. Funny stuff.

 

[woodsman]

The 300 directors cut DVD or some such.
I saw this when released at the Local cinema and think this versions better but whilst it's quite a good film it goes very wierd in several places e.g. people withcrabs claws and the monsters etc???????

 

[daisybee]

Blades of Glory. LMAO. But then I do that a lot.

 

[Tillane]

Sleepy Hollow, for the umpteenth time. *Happy sigh...*

 

[ravenus]

I saw the animated film Superman Doomsday. Haven't read the Doomsday comics as such, but this was the best Superman thing I've seen since, well, Superman II. Kickass 75 min ride.

Update: My detailed review here!

I saw studio Ghibli's production of Tales From EarthSea based on Book 4 Tehanu. Whilst it may not have followed exactly along the lines of the book I really quite enjoyed this adaptation. Certainly much better than the TV effort. The DVD also featured scenes from the Ghibli Museum which was great because I only recently visited that location as part of WorldCon in Japan. I also recall getting to skip through the original storyboards for the film, which was quite something.

OH and I should add the animation looked great, some of the detail that went into the background shots is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Resurrected -- an (updated) adaptation of Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

A flawed film, certainly; yet I find a lot of strengths in this little effort; and even some of the performances that I didn't originally care for (such as John Terry's) have grown on me, until I find there's a lot more there than I would have originally given credit for. Certainly the exploration of the catacombs is very well done, as (save for a moment here and there) is Chris Sarandon's performance as Ward and Curwen... he actually does Curwen very well (though not quite as HPL envisioned him... yet not altogether inappropriately to that vision).

Let's just say that it's a more intelligently done horror film than most, and one that is very much a "sleeper"; I suggest that, like Dagon, if you don't care that much for it, revisit it after a while, and you may find more there than at first met your eye....

Blades of Glory: Totally retarded, over-the-top stuff. Some good funny scenes though. You really have to be a Will Ferrel fan to appreciate the humour.

 

[Ice fyre]

Just watched Batman Begins. Not too bad at all, nice reinvnsion of the Batman legend.

Sorry Superman Doomsday? Is that an animated film?

 

[ravenus]

Yes it is an animated film...made by the people that made the Batman animated series.

 

[Majimaune]

I just watched Pirates 3. It was a *cough* pirate copy from China *cough* Good movie though.

 

[ravenus]

Planet Terror was damn good in most part, although I'd say it's stretched out with some dull bits in its extended avatar, including a crap cameo by Tarantino. The gore FX even with their deliberate low-budget looks are quite awesome.

 

[Tillane]

Daywatch. Completely daft, but wonderful nonetheless...

 

[Inkreator]

THX - 1138


I've watched it once when I was much younger, I barely could recall one scene from it. But this watching refreshed my memmory and I must say what a splendid film it is.

 

[PTeppic]

Undead day, with "Resident Evil: Extinction" (perhaps the best of the lot, but it stopped when it was just getting going) and "Black Sheep" (not quite funny enough, consistently, but a good little vampire sheep flick!). MBaaah!

 

[Majimaune]

Tarzan and the Back to the Future 2 were on TV last night. Both great movies. Watched them both.

 

[Cerberus]

Just watched Casshern.
