What was the last movie you saw?

[Mithridelle]

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

 

[Lirael]

Well, today, I watched Stardust. It was really good, actually, although the ending was too fairy-tale-like. Other than that, very well done. The acting was superb, and there were many moments that made my friend and I laugh! =D

I saw Being John Malkovich last night. Brilliant film! Rather strange, but it was right up my street. I think I might watch it again today.

If you liked that one, you'll love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's Kaufman and Gondry at their best.

Transformers: It was corny, it was thin, it was a little bit dumb, but it was fun to watch and them explosions are sure perrrtty. Shia LaBeouf was really good in it. He delivers lines with an ease not seen since a young Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray. I hope they make a sequel. More than meets the eye!

I've seen it. I have to admit that when the two women were tumbling through Malkovich's memories it made me think of Eternal Sunshine.

On the subject of Transformers - Michael Bay would love to direct the sequel... but he's displeased with Paramount (the studio who own the rights to Transformers, I think) and their decision to not back the Blu-ray format.

I'm trying to find the original article that PSU.com quoted from, just to give it that extra bit of credibility.

Michael Bay frustrated with DVD, wants Blu-ray instead :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

300. It was rubbish. All that guff about life, liberty and the American, er, Spartan Way. The Persian Immortals were apparently some species of orc, and they were ruled by Xerxes, a 10 foot tall drag queen who thought he was a god. Greece looked like Mordor - oh, and everyone kept on referring them to themselves as Greeks when, AFAIK, there was no such entity as "Greece" at that time. 300 gives graphic novels a bad name...

I'd say Gondry's best so far is The Science of Sleep. That's a genuinely touching movie and surpasses ESoTSM in imagination.

thanx for the tip, Ravenus
ESOTSM was brilliant,and I trust your opinion
If you say SoS is even better
.....

Take the Lead - it has Dante Basco in it!

*dissolves into squeals*

 

[Majimaune]

Night Watch. Very strange but good.

 

[Mithridelle]

Mulan - Disney is the greatest!

V for Vendetta. I liked it; especially loved how verbose V was Must have been a beast of a script to learn, especially all those v's Weaving had to learn when he first meets Evey!

We also played V for Vendetta drinking game -- so, anytime we saw the mask, or anytime someone mentioned the letter V, or we saw a V, or the number five, or whenever V did something cool, or whenever there was an explosion, we had to drink. Yeah, we were drinking quite often

 

[Lenny]

Haha. The last bit must have really got you all. I can imagine it now! A group of students, passing out around a TV, the 1812 Overture playing in the background.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Heh. Although our hearts weren't truly in it, really -- every so often someone would pipe up "Explosion!" or "Oh, come on, V was awesome then!" I don't think anyone even got particularly drunk last night. Well, I certainly didn't, but then I don't much anymore.

Oh! We also drank every time Stephen Fry appeared on screen. The legend

 

[SpaceShip]

Just watched the Count of Monte Cristo for the umpteenth time. Not as good as the book but still a great story.

 

[TK-421]

Bobby: The story of the people who were there in 1968, when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. Excellent cast and good movie. Actually written and directed by Emilio Estevez.

 

[Pyan]

Stardust...not bad at all.

 

[ravenus]

I saw Jason and The Argonauts, a superb old-skool adventure movie with wonderful stop-motion SFX work by the great Ray Harryhausen. My full review HERE

 

[gully_foyle]

I'm watching The Manchurian Candidate at the moment, the Denzel version. Channel 10 have cut to ads just before Meryl Streep gives Liev Schrieber a good hard snog. Have they censored it, or did the actual movie pussyfoot around the scene that made the 1964 version so memorable?

 

[Culhwch]

Just finished watching Sunshine. Quite good, I thought...
