What was the last movie you saw?

[Phyrebrat]

I've found myself thinking about Lake Mungo all weekend, so it's clearly accomplished what it set out to do.

Wonderful movie. So eerie.

 

[Toby Frost]

Definitely. It's hard to know what to compare it to: it's so low-key but so unsettling. I think there's a kind of "scary fun" horror film that's often very gory but says nothing. Lake Mungo is at the opposite end of the scale to that. And the mobile phone bit is really frightening.

 

[KGeo777]

I think the Police Squad! series was best. The gags didn't wear out their welcome.

Presumed Innocent

Great movie right up until the last 5 minutes when we get a step-by-step explanation how and what happened. Unrealistic and unnecessary; the film could quite easily stop at a certain moment, and leave the viewer to decide. A pity, but still a superior courtroom drama.

 

[Vince W]

Red Planet (2000). Not a stellar film by any means but a few different choices and it could have been much better than it was. Still, it scratched my Mars itch pretty well and not surprisingly The Martian goes over much of the same territory only in a better fashion.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Watched 2010, brilliant sequel to 2001.
9/10.

 

[Guttersnipe]

The Night House, a new horror movie that focuses on a woman's grief over her dead husband, and the questionable things she learns about what he did in his lifetime. It gives you little insight into the mystery of it, to the point where a lot of the plot needs to be deciphered or divined.

Watched 2010, brilliant sequel to 2001.
9/10.

It's a different kind of movie eschewing music for dialogue. I was a little disappointed by what the 'something wonderful' ended up being. Still a great film , and Roy Scheider was a great actor

 

[JunkMonkey]

Space Milkshake - a low-budget Canadian SF Comedy which had a couple of good lines but will linger longest in my memory for having Amanda Tapping play a tender love scene with a rubber duck voiced by George Takei. One of those films.

I was very disappointed by 2010.

I remember that list.


2010 is a quasi remake of THE BAMBOO SAUCER-a 1960s film--about a US and Soviet mission to recover an alien spaceship that crashes in China.

Reminiscence
HBO's Westworld Lite.
Built on a love story, propelled by a film noir-style mystery, this film held my interest. Also notable as a future look at a coastal city flooded by rising seas.

The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991)

Carries on in the same fashion as the first one, and it's about as funny. Casting Robert Goulet as the villain gives it the made-for-TV movie feeling it needs. My favorite joke is the completely random, non sequitur reference to a famous Twilight Zone episode near the end.

 

[KGeo777]

I think Leslie Nielsen's problem was that he wanted to be in on the joke and that hurt it.
He was so funny in Airplane! and Police Squad because he didn't act as if he got the joke but in his later movies as comedies-Repossessed and Spy Hard and the others--he was goofing around and he was more hilarious when he acted completely straight. He was good as a big jerk. Day of the Animals especially.


DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS 1971 - I had seen this before. The director pulls a clever fast one in that you assume the main actress is playing two roles. But it turns out not to be the case when they enter a room together. He picked two actresses who looked very much alike in order to throw some confusion into it.

 

[AE35Unit]

Watching Lake Mungo now, I thought it was the wrong film at first because its like a documentary...

 

[AE35Unit]

Well Lake Mungo was summat and nothing, hour and half of my life I'll never get back. Yawn

 

[BAYLOR]

Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines 1965 I wish they still made.films like this.

 

[KGeo777]

I liked it. Watch it now and then.
Catchy song.


Robert Morley: The trouble with these international affairs is that they attract foreigners.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)

Pretty amusing, although not as much as the first two, probably due to 1) more slapstick 2) raunchier sex jokes 33 1/3) celebrity casting.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

And speaking of lesser threequels:

The Brady Bunch in the White House (2002)

Inferior made-for-TV follow-up to the theatrical features The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel, which I enjoyed. The main problem is that we no longer have the absurd Bradys, living in the television version of the 1970's, confronting something that (more or less) resembles the modern world. Instead, the "real" world is just as goofy as they are, as Dad and Mom Brady become the President and Vice-President of the United States.

 

[KGeo777]

I didn't know they went to the White House.
I think they should do Weekend at Bernie's set in the White House.


INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN 1961 --An early Sonny Chiba film with some decent SPFX. The story is kind of out there with a prominent role for a group of kids.


THE TERROR BENEATH THE SEA 1966 Sonny Chiba is a reporter in this one -- involving a plot to establish a one world government conspiracy starting with an ocean base where they turn humans into aquatic cyborgs. Holds your attention despite some terrible facial acting from a Navy submarine crew.
