What was the last movie you saw?

[dask]

The Monuments Men. Good little war flick.

 

[JunkMonkey]

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger - an enjoyable, if strangely slow, Harryhausen Sinbad flick enlivened, when things were starting to flag, by some mild gratuitous nudity.

and a 'Double Who' in the game Daughter Number Two and I are playing at the moment of trying to link EVERYTHING to Doctor Who:

Lessee... while doing other things I ran thru Meet The Robinsons, not bad, Planet 51, okay, and A Town Called Panic, a bit hyper for me.
Oh, and Dinosaur, in which the monkeys and dinos chat and get along rather well, quite believable. *

 

[Rodders]

Europa Report. Very, very good movie. Nicely done, with a great ending.
Love. I don't think I understood this, one. A slow burner with a 2001 like ending.
The signal. Interesting movie, but a dissatisfying ending.

Finally saw The Big Lebowski - enjoyed it but not quite as much as other Coen's films such as Barton Fink and A Serious Man. I can see why it has cult appeal though, and a spinoff with Jesus Quintana is surely worth a watch!

 

[J-Sun]

Europa Report. Very, very good movie. Nicely done, with a great ending.

Yeah, loved this one, too. Still one of my favorite films of the past several years thought I still need to watch it again to see if it holds up.

Jurassic World (2015)

A dinosaur-sized B-movie, with a cliched script. Thee only thing I liked, were the special effects. I found this film so boring and totally disappointing, until the ancient animals showed up to eat. I didn't like any of the characters, they were all cardboard cutouts of the same-old-same-old stereo types, and painfully sickening to listen too. I'm so glad I didn't see this lame monstrosity in the theater.

 

[J Riff]

Wreck-It Ralph, yes, haha, good take on vidgame characters as conscious wisecracking critters... and Ernest and Celestine, which is the nicest Bear/Mouse aminated movie I've seen this week.

Monsters vs Aliens (2009)

Lame animated film that I kept hoping it would get better, but I lost interest near the end and fell asleep. I chuckled only twice. The first time was when the US President played the Axel Foley theme (Beverly Hills Cop - 1984) on a keyboard, and the second was when a lady kept screaming when each monster was introduced in the Briefing Room. I suppose kids will like this flick.

Krampus (2015)

Surprisingly good X-mas horror flick that delivers more than just a lump of coal if you're naughty. This wonderfully gift wrapped movie had a treat for me, one of my favorite comedic actors played in this, David Koechner. I haven't seen him in a while (he's been in a lot of movie and TV shows I haven't seen). I remember him when he played on the TV show Saturday Night Live back in 1996. He was hilarious in a sketch where he was an prison executioner, and had to throw the switch on a criminal played by Christopher Walken.

Anyways. This movie made up for the last two awful movies I reviewed earlier.

Everyone's Going To Die (2013)
Tale of two lost souls looking for a way out against the backdrop of an English seaside town. Typically British humour with a hint of depression, although some it was genuinely funny.

 

[Cylon_ Sympathiser]

Last movie I saw... straight to sky box office movie starring Nicholas Cage.. PAY THE GHOST.
Not going to win any awards but certainly worth a look.

 

[REBerg]

The Martian What an incredible testament to human ingenuity. And what a perfect choice, despite the genre, of Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, to accompany the credits.

 

[Rodders]

I rewatched District 9 last night. A very enjoyable film. Sharlto Copley is eminiently watchable.

 

[Alex The G and T]

Lucy.
That whole bit about humans only using 10% of their brain is disproven old hat... but if you can suspend your disbelief on that one; this is a pretty fun flick. It's all transcendent 'n' sheeit. Weird superpowers and mind bendery. Lots of action.

The best part were the Easter-eggy tips of the hat to a ton of classic, great Sci-fi. Watch for 'em: 2001, ET, Contact, Matrix... I'm sure there's more. Maybe a little Jackie Chan and Lucy Lui in Kill Bill. A fun frolic if you tuck your thinking cap under the couch.

ATM (2012)

Awesome horror movie that had me on the edge of my seat with eyes locked onto the screen. Fantastic independent film that is something far from typical. I'm so glad I had never seen any trailer for this, because that made it fiercely gripping. I highly recommend this one to horror fans!

 

[Gonk the Insane]

Range 15

A zombie horror comedy starring real-life special forces veterans. It was cheesy as hell, but entertaining despite that.

 

[WaylanderToo]

Blood Father - violent and enjoyable return of Mel Gibson

 

[WaylanderToo]

Bad Moms - gross out comedy, if you enjoyed The Hangover etc you should like this (I loved it)

 

[JunkMonkey]

Space Fury (aka In the Dead of Space) - dear gods! A straight to video SF movie of immense ineptitude which consisted mostly of reaction shots. Endless chunks of this 'movie' were close-ups of people listening to what someone else is saying off camera followed by a close-up of that person listening to what the person just (but no longer) on camera says in reply. Actually, after a while, I looked forward to these weirdly-cut, hiding-the-fact-that-we-had-to-dub-the-whole-movie, sequences because they're far more interesting than those moments when we do get to see some terrible actors delivering their lines.

Just to relieve the tedium often the characters would just stand still for a bit. Sometimes they would open and close their mouths as if deep in thought and unable to say what it was they are thinking. Lisa Bingley, being female and photogenic, gets to do this a lot. If you are into watching a reasonably attractive woman standing in coveralls wondering when the director is going to call "cut" - this is the movie for you.

Michael Pare has fun gurning his face all over the screen as a psychotic astronaut while Lisa, as the only female astronaut, takes her bra off (with obvious reluctance) for no other reason than it was in her contract and they had to get tits in the trailer. Though, given the lighting and angle, they almost certainly used a body double. (That must have put a big dent in the budget.)
