What was the last movie you saw?

Last film I saw at the cinema was Spiderman. Other than that last film I watched at home was Scooby Doo and the Witch's ghost which was this afternoon.

Yesterday evening I watched Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress.
This was one of those movies that are perennially cited as one of George Lucas' main influences when conceiving Star Wars.
In fact, as one of the extra features on the DVD there was a short interview with Lucas, in which he discusses how much he admires Kurosawa's direction and vision, particularly in comparison to other movies at the time. For a movie this old, I was very impressed. I have some other favourites from the fifties (On the Waterfront, Twelve Angry Men), so I am not dissing all films of this era, but this film really stood out as something very impressive for me.

In case you are wondering, the influence that is most obvious in Star Wars is the use of the "two lowliest characters" to tell the story. The two peasants in Kurosawa's film are evidently C3P0 and R2D2 in Lucas's epic.
 
The Mummy Returns for me again last night, and I still loved it! It must have been the 11th time I think and that was annoying for my family cause I was constantly saying the upcoming dialogues. :D

Falcon Horus ;)
 
I watched Amistad on the tv last night. It was very very good. I had never seen it before, and I was very impressed. I wonder how true to life the whole story was, and how much was dramatized by Spielberg.
 
Well I finally got to see The Lord of The Rings. Only took me a near year. And now I'm counting down the days until Two Towers is realeased.:rolly2: Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! Did I mention that I can't wait?:rolly2:
 
Yesterday, Pearl Harbor again and I was more impressed than when I saw it in the cinema. Maybe because I think that America hasn't learned from the past (no offence to any americans on this site, I've got american friends). They still think they're invincible even after what happened on 9/11.

Today, I'll be watching Shakespeare in Love and Final Fantasy.

A few days ago, I saw Shrek again and just this morning I watched Final Fantasy, The Spirits Within.
