What was the last movie you saw?

[Nesacat]

Watched Painted Skin with Morpheus (he went back on Oct 12 ). It's based on the old legend of the fox spirit and was rather nicely done.

Had a bit of a zombie weekend.
Saturday watched Resident Evil. Was thinking Milla Jovanovich would be great as a running partner in the event of a zombie attack. But then remembered that evenone around her gets infected, so maybe not. This was followed by Land of the Dead. Still tosh.

Sunday the zombie theme continued, with Shaun of the Dead making the end of the world a riot of laughs. This was followed by [rec], good hand-held camera stuff, and a really scary little girl. And a nice take on the cause of zombies. Recommended.

Somewhere in the weekend I also managed to fit in five episodes of Stargate SG-1

 

[AE35Unit]

Last one we watched was THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Waste of time,load of rubbish,hour and a half of your life you'll never get back!

 

[BookStop]

Went and saw Eagle Eye last week - it was alright, wasn't expecting much, so wasn't disappointed at all.

Watched the entire Back to the Future Triligy with my sickly son this weekend. He's feeling better today, and now we can say we watched them all.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Watched Mirrors at the cinema. Started off well; nice atmosphere, the burnt department store was particularly eerie and the lighting was effective. There was a jumpy moment every five minutes or so, too. Then the plot started up and was pretty good to begin with...but then unfortunately fell flat on its face. Not a good explanation for all the mirror business, really.

But just for the first half alone, it was definitely better than some of the new horror crap I've seen over the last few years.

 

[christyrocks99]

Watched Cloverfield at my sisters. It was better at the cinema but still good on the small screen!!!

 

[ravenus]

The Eye 2, a sequel to a pretty decent Asian Horror film that is much better in almost every way. This one was quite gripping and easily kicks the *** of those boring Ring and Grudge series.

Hellboy 2 (this one was at the cinema screen). While I wasn't jumping out of my seat in joy, it was a decent action-oriented film with some great CGI sequences. It also had a good conflict motivation for the 'bad guy' - In fact I'm not sure we had a 'good' ending at all.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Burn After Reading. Bizarre, but hilarious. Brad Pitt is fantastic.

 

[Talysia]

Independence Day.

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

I thought Brad Pitt was great in that movie too HJ. I think he made me laugh every time he was on screen.

Saw it at the weekend and thought it was ok for a scary movie - they usually make me laugh but it was quite atmospheric

Last film I saw was HellBoy, I didn't think much of it.

rewatched Interview with the Vampire on the plane. Some very good role playing by Brad Pitt.

 

[ravenus]

Just got Spl Ed DVD's of Jackie Chan's Police Story 1 & 2, so I watched the first film last night (Of course, I have already seen it several times as a kid)...still good fun with massively kickass opening and closing action sequences.

 

[Simian]

Wanted. Violent, puerile and oddly misogynistic. The sort of film an angry 15 year old might make if he'd just been dumped by his girlfriend.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Watching A Bug's Life at the moment.

 

[tangaloomababe]

Watched Predator last night, havn't se this movie in ages but I was wacthing it with my son and partener and they seemed to know the movie word for word, all the one liners

'COMMON KILL ME"

"IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT"

" THEY GOT YOU PUSHING TO MANY PENCILS AT THE CIA"

I don't think I have laughed so much even watching a comedy.

 

[jezelf]

Watching 'Cape Fear' on TV. Haven't seen it for years.

Last film I saw that I loved was 'Pans Labyrinth'. Great tale. I love a fantasy adventure with a good story is set just within or out of living memory- makes it keep it magical.

Saw "Zathura - A Space Adventure" which reminded me of Jumanji. Also took me back to other films of the same feeling when I was that age. Liked it.

Last film I saw recently I hated was 'In the name of the King' - how bad is that? I missed that it was a Dungeon Siege tale until it was too late. Thats what you get for watching a trailer of the good bits cut quickly to make it look better than it was.

Im tempted by the genre, but should had listened to my instincts when I found out the cast. Burt Reynolds as a king and Jason Statham as a farmer who happens to farm with a sword strapped around him at all times. John Rhys-Davies was the best actor in it, but he couldn't save it. I like Reynolds and Liotta in their more familair roles, but not in this. Matthew Lillard was awful as the King's nephew.

If I ever make a film, I'll make a point to check the credits - to know who not to hire for casting...and screenplay. It bugs me when period films have 21st century slang words or phrases....I better stop or I'll rant for ages.

Ghost Town looks good though, might make the trip to the cinema for that and always tempted to go see James Bond.

2010, again - finally replaced my VHS with a used DVD. This doesn't seem to be a highly esteemed movie, but competing with 2001 is a tough job. I love it myself.

Talysia mentioned Independence Day. Wil Smith just had a little spaceship. Regarding the Monolith, I'd say I got to get me some of these!

I thought the technology took a jump backwards in that film.
Keyboard !!!!
In 2001 the crew just talked to HAL.
