What was the last movie you saw?

Watched The Abyss last night, for the first time in around a decade. I'd forgotten just how truly average a film it is - and just how bad an actress Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is.:p
 
Tales of Terror, another Roger Corman adaptation of Poe's stories, this time taking a compendium of Morella, The Black Cat (mixed with some Cask of Amontillado) and The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar. Good fun, especially The Black Cat with its hallucinatory visuals and the delectable interplay between Peter Lorre and Vincent Price.
 
Capricorn One about a faked Mars landing. Not bad, there's definitely some suspension of disbelief needed but if you can do that there's a fairly enjoyable movie here, some nice dialogue and a good ariel chase scene towards the end.
 
Pathology - was entertaining enough but a little predictable. Milo is cute though :)
 
I'm watching The Masque of the Red Death at the moment.

And just to elaborate, it's like "Spot the Poe Tale" with this film. I've seen a raven, the mention of a heartbeat, something that looks rather pendulum-like, and there was definitely Hop-Frog in one of the scenes a moment ago...

LOL...Hop-Toad. Hop-Frog story indeed. Burning!

Have you read the books, AE35? Much better -- there was so much of them taken away in the film. Stupid film. Bah.

I've just watched Fantasia.

No I've not read the books, but the film has put me off-toolong winded chils fantasy.
I hardly get to read these days, has to be short and sweet(am struggling with a boring Jiohn Brunner book)
