What was the last movie you saw?

Stardust which I thought was fabulous
Superman Returns which I also enjoyed and
Grease... I just can't say anything bad about this film... :D

I've seen two films this weekend

'Run fat boy run' - fairly good.
'Startdust' - very good.

What do they have in common, they both have people in them playing versions of their TV characters.

In Run fat boy run - David Walliams is in a shop wanting to buy something. The only difference was Thandie Newton was serving and not Matt Lucas shouting 'Margret'

In Stardust. Ricky Gervais says 'You having a laugh'. His character deserved to die for that.

At least in Stardust the ghost David Walliams didn't say 'I'm a lady'.

Please please, all actors don't do your TV routines in films.

Apologies to anyone who's not British as the above semi-rant won't make much sense.
 
The Empire Strikes back, part of the complete series being shown every Sunday on ITV1.
 
Nightwatch, the Russian film based on the popular novel by Sergei Lukyanenko. Ridiculous and too bloody. I can't compare it with the book as I haven't read the book.

Stardust this morning. It's a wonderful movie. And you get to see Robert de Niro as you've not seen him before.

Ah, I'm looking forward to seeing Stardust! (no fan of Robert de Niro though) :)
 
Quite different to the book, actually. The kid isn't his son in the book and only plays a minor role. And a few other things (I forget, I'm afraid, been a while since I read it). But I really enjoyed the film, I loved how stylised it was; even the subtitles were interesting when I watched it at the cinema.
 
Stardust. I didn't expect to see a humorous and romantic tale. Wonderful.

A box-office success in Paris.

And yes, Nesacat, Robert de Niro plays a very unusual role (with delectation, it would seem):p
 
Transformers and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Atleast the Fantastic 4 did something different, I think this is the first superhero movie where I actually preferred the first/ introductory movie over the sequel... and Fantastic 4 wasn't great the first time around. As I posted in the Transformers thread I enjoyed it well enough and am looking forward to a sequel.
 
Just watched Studio Ghibli's Porco Rosso. Man, this must be one of my all-time favourite Ghibli offerings. They also had a neat feature where you could switch b/w storyboard and actual final film whilst watching the movie. Also, when I watched it in English and then started checking it out in Japanese with English subtitles, it was amazing how much more stuff I picked up on.

I love that pig!!...:)
 
Porco Rosso is good!I get nearly 10 Ghibi's animations on my computer,haha!
But I like <Nausica> the most.
 
Spiderman 3: I really liked the first 2 movies but this last one seemed a little lost. The plotlines were not great and I'm just glad this whole revenge thing with Harry is over. It seemed like they tried to pack in too many characters. I did like Venom.
 
GOLLUM ... Have a look see at Pom Poko and let's see how raccoons take you. ;)

Giovanna .... Ummm yes. I am never ever going to see de Niro in the same light again. As has been said elsewhere in this forum, the next time he's standing over someone with the gun I'm going to be wondering what exactly he has on underneath.

Allegra ... it's okay if you're not fond of him ... in fact it might be even better.
 
Cashback: A clever and funny romantic comedy kind of thing. Despite saying that it was a romantic comedy, it kind of breaks the mold by being both clever and funny and only the ending felt like belonging to the genre. 8/10

Shoot 'Em Up:Because Cashback felt too much like a chick flick, I watched Shoot 'Em Up right afterwards. If you liked the restaurant scene in Kill Bill and/or Clive Owen's BMW ad-films, you will love this one. If not, you'll probably like it anyway. It was deliberately campy, over-the-top, ironic shooty goodness. Very fun. 8/10
