What was the last movie you saw?

Watched 30 Days of Night last night. A good concept, I thought, but really poorly executed. There were far too many holes, and the first half kept jumping around with no explanation, like the film-makers were forced to make cuts...
 
Ironman. Technically I saw it with some friends, but none of us knew each other was going so only met each other afterwards. Thought it was pretty cool, and a nice line in humorous moments
 
Doomsday

Crap acting, crap story (i.e. ripped off absolutely every other post apocalyptic movie i have seen), crap continuity (the bentley anyone ;)) - but in saying all that i actually enjoyed it.

Odd :confused:

It was a while ago now, but I'm still under the impression of it - There Will Be Blood. This is a remarkable movie; never before have I seen a human act so bloody good as Daniel Day Lewis did in this movie. Not only did he create an intriguing, unique, jaw-dropping character through his performance, but he got so into him that I honestly picture Daniel Plainview (the main character) as a separate entity from DDL. Even though I know it's only a movie, a work of fiction, I can't stop thinking how that man really existed once (he did actually, or at least someone that character was based on but that's not my point).

I've seen it three times now and I expect to watch it again, and probably again after that etc.

No its not just a movie TS, its stunning, Daniel Day Lewis nothing short of brilliant. I have seen this movie twice now and will watch it again. It leaves a lasting impression, probably the best thing I have seen in years..............

Last night I watched Lars and the Real Girl, different but funny, I really enjoyed it!
 
I watched Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull last night. It had some somewhat illogical parts all the way through, but they could be forgiven, it was an Indiana Jones film after all. But by the end I was clutching my head and thinking "Why! Why!" The ending -- no, not good.
 
Well, without giving anything away, it's not that it's not good in the bland, boring sense. But it was just...ah, it's hard to say without saying what happens, but as I said, it's a case of "Why! Why is this happening? What, you who made this film, possessed you to have this kind of ending?" I suppose others probably enjoyed it -- judging by the reaction of others in the cinema, some certainly did. But personally I didn't like the plot, it was just a little too outrageous (which is certainly saying something, seeing as he's already been after the Arc and the Holy Grail -- which, as I was saying last night, is perhaps why this was the only thing they could do to beat them, this plot in this film. This will seem like rambling if you haven't seen it, but will make more sense if/when you do).
 
I think directors in america should only be allowed to make something like 7 films then stop - seems the more that they make the more "creative" and "inventive" they get -- and the worse the films get

The wife and I saw Iron Man today. Loved it. So many films lately have been promising so much, but this one actually delivered. Perfectly cast, lovingly directed, a superhero film to equal Batman Begins and X-men I and II. I'll look forward to the inevitable sequels...
 
I saw El Orfanato last night on dvd. I really enjoyed it, altough it's not really scary like the previews make it out, at least, not in the traditional sense. The cinematography was gorgeous, the mood tense and creepy, and it kept me glued to the screen even when my drink needed refilling. I definitely recommend it.
 
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Decent film nearly ruined by bloody stupid ending.
 
Just watched Amytiville,the 2005 version. I was expecting it to be rubbish but it was actually sacrier in parts than the original,especially the ending! And the thing is its all based on true events!
 
During my sixth form years, I saw many new horror films at the cinema. Most were utter crap, to put it bluntly, but Amityville I saw twice in less than a week; enjoyed it a lot. As you say, very scary in parts.
