What was the last movie you saw?

[katiafish]

I just saw Wanted, quite liked it in pure eye candy kind of way, not deep but pretty with lots of action. From the same Russian director who did Night /Day Watch, so some pretty cool camera action. Day Watch was waaaay too long in my opinion, good, just too stretched out.

Watching Labrynth at the moment

Quantum of Solace

I saw on tueday and it was a dissapointment. It was just an action scene to another from the car chase to the end.

Only saved by the actors Craig,Dench,The russian actress etc

Lame a so called drama director making an action movie without any real good action scenes even. The camera was always too shaky.

Casino Royale was 10 times better in action scenes and story,characters,spy,cool scenes.

Solace gets from 6/10 simply for the actors and not for the lame backward drive to Brosnan movies....

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

We watched Leatherheads last night. It was alright, nothing special.

 

[Simian]

Grave of the Fireflies. One of the most profoundly moving animated films I've ever seen.

Watching Labrynth at the moment

love that film, love that sound track.


Watched 'Human Traffic' again, Ah the memories of Early 90's clubbing

 

[The Ace]

'The Forbidden Planet,' again.

A re-watch of John Carpenter's The Fog. I still find this one (despite flaws) to be a rather well-told old-fashioned ghost story, with a great deal of charm, atmosphere and genuine tension, and with a minimum of gore and almost no gratuitous violence....

The original will always be my ultimate teen sleepover horror movie. It was doing the rounds on video - VHS or Betamax - when I was about 13 and it was very popular to watch at sleepovers. Needless to say it was so terrifying that one watched it thru your fingers and had nightmares for months afterwards. We all used to vacation at a beach town down the coast that had fog banks that would roll in off the sea just like in the movie - it would scare the pants off us.
I had the opportunity of watching the original a few years ago on TV, and cannot believ how hard I laughed at the whole thing - plot (come on!) execution, leper acting etc. Being now in my mid thirties I could not get back in tough with the inner creepyness, but willl never forget the terror it inspired in me and my friends back in the early 1980s.For that reason alone it must be in my personal top 10 films of all time.
- Did anyone see the "Devils Triangle"?

Finished up the Samurai Trilogy starring Toshiro Mifune, my review of it HERE

 

[katiafish]

Just finished watching City of Women by Frederico Fellini. I will have to think about it, first impression - mildly disturbing.

 

[Tillane]

Watched Regeneration last night. Very harrowing, but such a good film - great performances from Jonathan Pryce and James Wilby in particular.

 

[sloweye]

M*A*S*H , cant help it, still love it.

 

[Foxbat]

Just watched Iron Man. It was OK entertainment but, frankly, I don't see what some folk were raving about.

I'd been led to believe that it was the best thing since sliced bread. The bread wins hands down.

 

[katiafish]

Iron Man rules. It may not be the BEST thing since the sliced bread, but it still is well fun. Watched it last night for the 3rd time, still like it a lot.

 

[sloweye]

Rewcorded the second part of 'Sharpe's Peril' last night so i could watch the whole thing as a movie, it was brilliant. They didnt stray to far from the format of old, 3 hours well spent

[AE35Unit]

Watched the new Indiana Jones film last night. It was OK,very predictable of course-indy finds the skull,gets outside to find Men With Guns. It was entertaining tho-you can't be too critical of what is after all a boys own adventure type story. Its fun!

 

[Simian]

Quantum of Solace at the cinema. Not a patch on Casino Royale I'm afraid. The story and direction were all over the place, and after the bar had been raised so high by Bond's last outing this one seemed like a step backwards. That said, Craig was very good and there was enough to suggest that the franchaise still has some legs in it.

 

[afroelf]

Frankly I would watch Daniel Craig mow a lawn. Comes out here on Friday - so I guess next week will be when i will mosey down to our local cinema to see it.
Saw Elizabeth - the 1998 one- on TV last night. Still a very good film.
ALthough I do hate the tendancy of many filmmakers to film the tudors as living in maginificent palaces but with no furniture.
Have'nt they heard of how famous English furniture making and wood carving was before the reformation? How most of it was burnt which is why there are so few examples of it left? Or is history a step too far?

Finished up the Samurai Trilogy starring Toshiro Mifune, my review of it HERE

The Musashi tales are classics and for the time they were filmed, the cinematography was quite good.
