What was the last movie you saw?

(Invaders from Mars...the 1953 original.)

SO weird, I just got that as a gift. Looking forward to it!

Was on a plane recently and watched Underdog (which I shouldn't have laughed at but did - possibly something to do with the free airline vodka) and Pans Labyrinth (which completely blew me away, it's amazing).
 
Golden Compass - Some decent SFX and good performances by Nicole Kidman/Sam Neill. Rest of the movie was pure exposition bollocks. Avoid 4/10

The Assassination fo Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Best film of the year. Beautifully shot and performances by Pitt and Affleck worthty of oscars. Music by Nick Cave was haunting. Maybe a tad long and talkie for most people but the best intellegent western since Unforgiven. 9/10
 
The Golden Compass

Excellent SFX, stays quite close to the book, with a few minor divergences, but worth seeing, not least so you can make your own mind up on whether it subverts the Church.
 
The Heartbreak Kid

Very funny, ridiculously so, takes a while to get going but when it does its superb. Uncle Tito is the bomb. Screw off!

I'm starting to feel the same way about Dora :rolleyes:

Watched Walk the Line again last night and again came away thinking that the two leads both gave amazing preformances.

Yes thats pretty much what I thought when I watched it for the first time Jack... Its just wonderful and beautifully filmed, I think I have given it to so many people now and said "Watch"!!!!

I have a copy of American Gangster which I play to watch later tonight, shall let you know what I think.
 
Watched 300, which I really enjoyed, and Die Hard 4.0, which I didn't enjoy quite so much (seemed to be trying too hard to be something other than a Die Hard movie - I think they were better when they went for a narrow scope rather than epic).
 
Like some of you have mentioned, Pans Labyrinth is amazing..
But the last movie I saw was Evan Almighty.. It was just terrible.. I love Steve Carrell.. But the movie was horrendous..
 
Flock of DoDos. Documentary on ID v. Evolution conflict. It came down on the side of Evolution (of course because the film maker is a scientist) but it also had a some critique on how the science isn't always be communicated well by scientists. I still want to see the Nova special on Kitsmiller v. Dover but this movie seemed warm non-confrontational. He treated the pro ID people with respect which is something, sadly, I may have not bee able to do. He was able to disagree with them and still like them as people. I had to reflect on my own dogmatic loyalties that may get in the way of friendships sometimes.
 
Watched Devils Of Darkness (1965) last night. A very ordinary, very average British vampire movie. Nothing to write home about.
 
Thanks to my daughter I watched Black Beauty ( ok yeah I loved it when I was a kid) which led to a discussion about why horses get shot:(

And I watched The Brave again. Man that film screws with my head.

Oh, and Barney isn't allowed in our house, or I'd have mangled the telly by now
