What was the last movie you saw?

[Wybren]

OH no that is Lilo and Stitch your thinking of HJ. Leroy and Stitch is only a recent addition to our collection, however that will become something that Zach will wish to watch over and over and over again.

Um Porco Rosso by Hayao Miyazaki

 

[Hilarious Joke]

I love Porco Rosso.

I rewatched The Shawshank Redemption today. It truly is one of the best movies ever made.

 

[Quokka]

Groundhog Day was on again, I'm starting to know how Bill Murray felt but it is a great movie and one of the best romantic comedies.

Doomsday(2008)
Typical "turn off brain action movie".
Mix of "mad max", "28 days" and others..... If only they had picked the good parts of those.

Watched American Gangster for the first time. I'm not a big fan of Ridley Scott but I did enjoy this movie. Definitely worth a watch.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

The Colour of Magic, I did enjoy it and David Janson as Rincewind was a lot better than I thought he would be.

Next Tales of Earthsea from Studio Ghibli.

"The Mist", based on Stephen King's novel... excellent movie! I especially loved the little twist as the end.

Beowulf. Boring.

Just saw Juno last night. It was just as good as the critics say, which imo doesn't happen very often.

The Brave One
The effect a piece of casual violence has on a person's life. Uncomfortable, edgy but oddly memorable.
Some sequences are so searing you later try to extract perhaps more from the film than there is. I write this because I wanted to sum it up but can't. Perhaps it pivots on how we try to regain control after a trauma.

Watched Cloverfield yesterday. Best movie by far I've seen this year. Loved the way it shifted gears from total mundane normality to utter chaos (total 360, felt as though someone hit my head with a sledge hammer) and it even did this in phases; you thought you got a handle on the film, then BAM your scared sh*t out of your wits. It did this over and over gain and held this momentum to the bitter end of the movie (which I think is brilliant), psychological torture, but in an entertaining way . A weird blend of Sci-Fi, mind-bending Horror and thriller delivered in a tight package without the bloat and fluff. I just wish they made more film's like this unlike the endless formulaic crap Hollywood seems to be is churning out.

Cheers, DeepThought

Saw The Eye last night. it's a remake of a Chinese film, I believe. It was alright, not terribly good, nor terribly bad. Predictable, but nice effects.

 

[HoopyFrood]

I watched The Eye a couple of weeks ago. It had some nice jumpy bits, at least.

I'm trying to watch There Will Be Blood at the moment, for my creative writing class.

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night, which was hilarious. It was kind of weirdly put together though, like stuff happens that doesn't really have a bearing on the plot. Still worth seeing.

I might give that one a shot on DVD. I must say I haven't been overly impressed with any of the recent spate of Apatow and friends flicks. People act like they are the second coming in comedy at the moment, but I just don't think they are anything necessarily special or different....

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Awww. I'm a fan . But then again, I'm still pretty damn immature.

I saw The Raven, a Roger Corman movie, which loosely riffs the famous poem by EA Poe and extends it to a battle of wits and knowledge between two wizards. This is a charming little movie, a sort of spoof on the old-skool horror film, with giants like Boris Karloff and Vincent Price, enjoying a little laugh at their own legacies of evil, with a nice supporting turn from Peter Lorre (the pedophile murderer from Fritz Lang's M). Good fun.

Also saw 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days, a Romanian film (apparently set during Chaucescu's time) about a university girl who is trying to help her blundering friend get an abortion. The movie is shot in a very low-key quasi-docu realistic fashion, which can make some of the scenes wrenching. There is no gratuitous explicitness and no cheap sentimental manipulation, but you are still discomfited by the kind of harshness the girls are going through. The scene where the abortionist lays down his terms and conditions and describes the procedure is something that still makes me squeamish.

Watched I Am Legend last night, pretty good actually(I was expecting it to be pants!).
It was a shame about the dog tho!!

 

[tangaloomababe]

Watched There will be Blood.............again. I love this movie!
