What was the last movie you saw?

Saw The Masque of Red Death, a loose but nicely done adaptation by Roger Corman of Edgar Allan Poe's story of the same name. Lush production design with terrific use of colors and some really well-constructed dream and dream-like sequences make this a worthwhile watch.
 
Actually the last film I watched was Man of the Year in which Robin Williams plays a stand up comic who gets elected president. Serious and funny in equal measure.
 
I watched Blades of Glory last night, for the nth time. It's still awesome, though. And then afterwards I watched Sleepy Hollow. Great film.

100% agree with you on that Sarakoth, I loved this movie, just brilliant.

I am watching an oldie but a goodie tonight.
The Last Valley with Omar Sharif and Michael Caine, its a really good movie.

This is certainly one of the most beautiful of the Corman adaptations visually; Nicholas Roeg was the cinematographer for this one and, despite some reservations about Roeg as a director now and again, his eye was always superb....
 
Heh yeah, I am now looking to see Tales of Terror and The Raven, both of which have been given high ratings by my trusted SF/Fant/ Horror reviews site

As for Roeg, I suspect films like Bad Timing may be among the ones that divide people. I liked it a good deal :D

Anyway, yesterday I saw Greystoke - The Legend of Tarzan, which is a less campy telling of the Tarzan story than one normally sees. The movie was damn good up to the last third, when it devolved into a bit much of treacly drama (with the grandfather character just stopping short of being the annoying old eccentric everyone is supposed to find lovable). But still worth a watch, and some gob-smacking visuals to boot.
 
Well, who'd've thunk. Tonight I watched Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Extended version.

Betcha can't guess what's for watching soon...
 
HMMM not LOTR: Return of the King extended edition perhaps :p

I got that for christmas when it first came out and I still haven't watched it. I think I should do it soon though
 
La Vie En Rose,the story of Edith Piaf. A brilliant portrayal of a true star,also known as Le Mome Piaf(the Little Sparrow)
I was left feeling quite emotional at the end!
 
I watched "Into the Valley of Elah" over the weekend. Tommy Lee Jones. It was quite long but I was captivated throughout. A very thought provoking movie but quite sad also.
 
Wybren, you must be psychic.

Just watched Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Extended version. What a fantastic film.
