What was the last movie you saw?

[JunkMonkey]

Lobos de Arga (aka Attack of the Werewolves, Game of Werewolves) Ok Spanish Horror Comedy which has one genuinely laugh out loud moment involving the hero's severed finger that has just been cooked with garlic by two of his friends.

 

[AE35Unit]

Amadeus (1984)
Superb bit of fun and even tho I know its pure fiction it always makes me angry and sad at the end!

 

[Rodders]

Automata.

A cheap robot movie with Antonio Banderas. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

 

[Starbeast]

I Saw the Devil (2010)

I was given a recommendation for a horror movie.....and man........did this one deliver.

Outstanding Korean film that is only for a fan of horror movies. I watched it in it's original language. DON't SEE ANY MOVIE TRAILERS FOR THIS ONE, JUST WATCH IT.

 

[Rodders]

Maggie.

Too slow in my opinion. Still, a good ending.

 

[dekket]

Just took my son to see Dr Strange. He loved it. Was enthralled the entire way through.

 

[Gonk the Insane]

The original Magnificent Seven. Total classic

Just took my son to see Dr Strange.

I've been looking forward to that for months, but now it's out I haven't made it out to the cinema yet!

 

[Hilarious Joke]

I also saw Dr Strange. Enjoyed it! Amazing special effects, love Benedict Cumberbatch.

Love to see fresh takes on superhero movies.

 

[Gonk the Insane]

I also saw Dr Strange.

The supermarkets have jumped on the bandwagon. I saw an old (70s/80s, I think) film of Dr Strange in among the DVDs. Next to it - and looking rather more tempting - was a 72 minute cartoon version of Dr Strange.

 

[Steve S]

Re-watched V for Vendetta - hadn't seen it since release. I did enjoy it and, if I might say it, the concept of a future Britain ruled by a hard right-wing government is starting to feel a little less fictional...

 

[Rodders]

Saw Doctor Strange yesterday. Great fun.

 

[J Riff]

War of the Worlds, the one with Gary Busey.... I found the DVD... I put it on... it was arful, quite crummy indeed, but I watched it.

 

[JunkMonkey]

Pieces (1983) - Spanish/American Giallo garbage about a black-gloved killer stalking a university. Many aficionados of the genre seem to find its dreadful dialogue(of which there is a lot), logical shortcomings (of which there are many), and brutal on-screen chainsaw murders (of which there are many) hilarious but it left me wondering why I was watching it.

 

[ErikB]

The last three were DVDs but,

Prometheus

John Carter

Paul

I was in a space/alien mood.

 

[Gonk the Insane]

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Saw it at the cinema tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've discovered the way to reconcile Tom Cruise as Reacher is not to think of him as the same character as the books. Maybe his teeny tiny cousin with the same name or something. Weird? Yeah, but it works.

 

[Vince W]

Doctor Strange. I'm not very familiar with the character, but this was a genuinely enjoyable film. I could easily watch more about Strange.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

The Asphyx (1972)

Despite some lapses in plot logic and a couple of poor special effects, this is an effective old-fashioned Gothic chiller. A Victorian scientist (who must be pretty bright; he's invented a movie camera in 1875) discovers that the title entity, a spirit of death, comes to a person at the moment of death. He also finds out that a special light beam can trap it so that the victim does not die. This leads to a quest for immortality with, as you would expect, very bad consequences. It's a modest little film, with only three main characters, but well worth watching for fans of this kind of thing.

Snowpiercer

This one came in under the raider a couple of years back. It has a brilliant cast. Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris and Song Kang-Hoo. Directed by a South Korean and based on a French comic book the movie is a post-apocalyptic vision of the last remnants of Earth who live on a train which continuously circumnavigates the Earth. This is visually stunning, well acted, and gripping. Well worth a look.

Oh, my!
As one of the few who actually saw this one in the theater...well, I despised it...
I'm rethinking that opinion, based on your remarks. And it's hard, because my opinion was formed some years back, and I haven't thought about the movie since.... But I definitely recall coming out of the theater filled with dissatisfaction -- above all, dissatisfaction with the sheer implausibility of the film (for a fan of F and SF, that's saying a lot!).
But dissatisfaction, most of all, because I believed that they could have done so much more with this setting and concept -- but they went with depicting crazy people acting crazily...dystopia, indeed -- kind of like On the Beach, in some ways: last survivors roaming the world in a technological vehicle. But at least the people in the older movie had a plan, were searching for something; Snowpiercer was simply winding down in despair.. I guess I react badly to things like that.
Chris Evans was in that?! I did not remember that...

 

[svalbard]

He was the guy leading the rebellion. I actually agree with you on the implausability. However everything else outweighed the madness of the plot. For me anyway.
