What was the last movie you saw?

Watched one of the Star Trek Next Gen movies the other night, can't remember the specific title, but it's the one where they chase the Borg back in time.

Anyway, a little observation for one of our members. There is a scene outside the enterprise where Picard, Worf and a disposable ensign are trying to release the comms dish before the Borg do something evil with it. As usual there isn't just a big red button they can hit and its done, its the usual routine of programming a computer and then having to move a big heavy switch. In triplicate, of course. You get the picture? Strangely I noticed that the units referred to when they were programming the computers were called AE35 units. I got to verify it twice, so I'm pretty sure. Obviously a little nod to 2001.

Ah First Contact. Well, such safety procedures are highly sensible, you don't want 3 people going for an evening stroll on the deflector dish and accidentally ejecting it into the final frontier now.

And sleeping through The Hunt for Red October is a stoning offence!
 
We watched Fool's Gold over the weekend. I enjoyed it, thought it was a cute movie. Also watched The American President last night, and I did enjoy that one as well, although I have seen it before.
 
I think was ... The Incrdible Hulk 4/5, good :) , enjoyable but not great...
 
I watched The Black Dahlia last night. Not a good movie, really, I didn't think. But it was...I don't know how to describe it. Intriguing. I thought a lot of it was either overacted or underacted, but it seemed like DePalma was trying to make a movie that looked like it was made in the 40s, and that seemed to sort of fit.

Hollywoodland, which came out at about the same time and was also very noir, was much more successful in seemingly trying to do about the same thing. Maybe I'll watch that tonight.

Also, it occurred to me that while I was on vacation I saw a couple of good movies that I wouldn't have otherwise, simply because the motel cable had HBO.

The Queen was much better than I had expected, and so was We Are Marshall. I wouldn't have watched either of them if I hadn't been in a motel room with nothing else to do, but I'm glad I saw both of them.

I also saw some of V for Vendetta. It was on late at night, and I fell asleep not because I wasn't interested in it, but just because I was really tired. I'd like to see the rest of it at some point.

Edited to add, for Lady of Winterfell: I really love The American President. Good movie.
 
Watched:

"The Ruins" - crazy film but pretty good.

"Pathology" - Really enjoyed this film. Absolutely loved the ending:d
 
Just got back from the pictures.

Watched Hancock with Will Smith

Really enjoyed it:D
 
Transformers, for the second time. The plot could have been a lot stronger and I really wish they'd stop giving Michael Bay these movies but still I thought it was enjoyable enough, they waited till the technology was there to do it right and I thought they got a good balance between updating it for today and paying tribute to the 80's cartoon. It's a shame that (imo) with a few tweaks it could have been a good movie rather then a good CGI blockbuster... but I'm still looking forward to the sequels, if only for more giant alien robots jumping about the screen, so I suppose it did it's job :).

I think I have to agree. Could have been better but thought it was still an enjoyable film.

Also think Shia LaBeouf is a brilliant actor.
 
Errrm Bender's Big Score, the Futurama feature length episode. They were playing it as regular episodes on the telly here, but I saw it at the video store and madame Foyle told me to get whatever I wanted, so I did. I'm glad they're back.
 
1_Jake Kasdan's Orange County
2_Harlin's Exorcist: the beginning

1: mediocre;even Jack Black and some guest appearances can't make up for
a cliche -ridden script,lack of chemistry between Hanks and Fisk,and an ending you could see coming from miles away.
some cardboard supporting roles didn't help either
2: so bad,it is laughable.
Lots of pointless gore,violence,all the horror cliches ever invented regurgitated once more,the supposedly cataclysmic/eschatological battle with the demon good for a belly laugh.

Peeps,when you see this one in the video rental store,run.
Don't be tempted.
They should give you money with this one

Everyone in it probably needed money for the rent.
The director must have been possessed by a cinematographic devil,to think that he could make this one and get away with it.
Tar and feathers,please
