What was the last movie you saw?

[Talysia]

Escape to Victory on dvd.

 

[Mighty mouse]

American Gangster
This I found dull. Perhaps the subject has been done to death.
I still think Ridley Scott is one of the top ten shooters and try to see his pieces but wish he would make more SF, where his iconic sense of imagery imparts an almost visceral punch (perhaps the only real requirement of the genre).

Just finished viewing the first series of Star Gate 1. I thought some of the episodes were really good and I can't wait to get my hands on the second season from my boss who has all 9 seasons plus No. 10

Tell us what you thought about it in SG1 forum.


Stargate seasons 1-8 was the best SF show i have seen ever in tv.


Just have to say it gets better and better. Season 2+ is awesome IMO, S1 is lame compared to that since they havent explored much or opened the story arcs that will dominate much of the series.

 

[GOLLUM]

I'll let you know my thoughts on these. I figured there wasn't much scope for the writers to continually come up with new and innovative scripts but I was wrong!

 

[Talysia]

I saw Mission Impossible III last night. Not too bad, although I was distracted when I watched it.

 

[Culhwch]

Spiderman 3. Pretty poor all round. Same old same old, but with added attraction of genuinely embarrassing, can't-stand-to-watch moments. The dance scene, for instance...

 

[Connavar]

The dance scene and the onle 70's thing with when he walked around town was so cheesy that me and my brothers laughed at how bad it was.


Man in the comics Symbiot arc made Spidey dark,creepy but the movie was a joke and not in a good way.


I thought the movie was horrible overall, the only got Venom's look right and the character of Sandman.

 

[gully_foyle]

Star Wars, the Star Wars (aka A New Hope) was on the telly last night. Finally got to confirm what I suspected since I was a kid, that there is an aussie actor from a 70's c grade TV show called Cop Shop in it. He's the imperial officer asking "TK 421, why aren't you at your post?" Thanks Wookieepedia!

Only Godzilla doesn't stalk...he lays the STOMP
I have only seen sporadic efforts from the Godzilla movies. I really like the original Godzilla/Gojira film made by Ishiro Honda and I also liked Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah made by Shusuke Kaneko.

No he should stalk the guy forever and ever let him suffer for always. Yes those two movies are very good. I recently bought a set of DVDs which basically covers a period of time with one Godzilla movie per year. It had the two mentioned above and several others all of which were pretty good.

Spiderman 3 was terrible. I watched it on a flight without any sound and it was still terrible. They did manage to get Venom right but that was about it.

 

[Culhwch]

I thought Venom looked pretty dodge, but then, I've never been a fan of the comics so I'm not the best judge.

 

[Connavar]

He didnt look good or as cool as the comics.


But compared to how off the rest of the movie was they did "great work" with Venom.

I hope for Spiderman's rep they never make another movie.......

 

[Harpo]

"How To Murder Your Wife" starring Jack Lemmon & Terry-Thomas

 

[heyfoureyes]

I just saw Beowulf in IMAX 3D. The 3D effect felt very natural after a brief adjustment period, and really drew me into the dream of the movie. There was some perhaps gratuitous violence for the purpose of showing flying objects, but I'm admittedly a bit sensitive.

I would recommend the film!

 

[Rosemary]

After reading Beowulf a number of times, I'm afraid the film might be a bit of a let down!

The last movie was an old one. The Mansion by the Canal. Was set in Belgium, with lots of canals, lines of straight trees and lots of mud. Still, it was quite a good film and I enjoyed it.

"How To Murder Your Wife" starring Jack Lemmon & Terry-Thomas

You don't say whether you liked this one or not, Harpo. If you did, and if you haven't seen them yet, you might like Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963) and Good Neighbor Sam (1964). GNS especially is very funny. I saw it again maybe two or three years ago and it held up quite well, I thought.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

 

[Culhwch]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Ah, a classic of the 'no hopers travelling back in time to abduct historical figures in order to pass their high school test' genre...

 

[GOLLUM]

Spiderman 3 was terrible. I watched it on a flight without any sound and it was still terrible. They did manage to get Venom right but that was about it.

I also watched this movie en route to visit a certain feline guru with sound and it was pretty bad. The original, as in most cases, is still the best adaptation of a comic book hero I have ever seen followed by Batman Returns.

 

[Nesacat]

Several movies seem to make perfect sense without any sound, which is possibly quite worrying. I saw both Fantastic 4 movies without sound along with the 2nd and 3rd Spiderman movies. All on flights.

Venom was not as good as in the comics but in that awful movie, he was the best by far. He's far more awesome in the comics.
