What is the last film you watched?

[Just Bob]

Here's a nice long-runner to keep the Multi-Media forum busy. State what film you watched most recently and, if you want, describe it or say what you thought of it.

Last night, I saw Dark City on TV. It's a sci-fi film starring Rufus Sewell and Jeniffer Connelly, and it's not half bad, if it weren't for the fact that it reminded me of so many other films. Just off the top of my head, the plot had a lot to do with The Matrix, the setting rather reminded me of Brazil and the dark look of the characters was more than a little reminiscent of Sleepy Hollow or Edward Scissorhands.

[Jax]

I didn't like Dark City the first time I saw it, but for some reason I watched it again with someone else and liked it - go figure!!

I am currently watching The Abyss and the last few movies or mosts of movies I've seen in the last 2 days or so are; Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (man I so can't wait for the sequel to /that/ movie!!) Chronicles of Riddick, Wimbledon, Peter Pan and Dumb and Dumberer (note, I didn't watch all of all of those movies! But most :blush: )

[Wolfegar]

I watched The Lathe of Heaven. It was the original made by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) in the U.S. in 1979. (Well around 1979 anyway.)

After the original broadcast, it was not permitted to be shown again for some reason. Anyway, the DVD also had a very interesting interview. Bill Moyers interviewed Ursula K. Le Guin for the DVD release.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

The last movie I was was The Clearing, with Robert Redford and Willem Dafoe. It wasn't anything spectacular, but I really liked it, and had a real surprise ending. The one before that was Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Oh geez, I was sorry I spent $4.50 on that. The previews looked sort of funny, but the entire movie I was watching thinking, ok, when is the actual movie going to begin?? I almost shut it off when it came to the cheetah part :roll:

[AnnMarie]

LOL The very last movie I watched?

"Bambi", with my daughter last night. And despite having marvoulous artwork, I cringed.

[Yonuh Adisi Fiend Jedi]

The last movies I have watched recently were Taxi starring Queen Latifa (I WANT her cab in that movie) Very funny. and Underworld. I will go into detail later, right now I have to get ready for work.

[C_ris]

I watched the Lion King. :blush:

its just easy to watch! (and I like the songs)

I also watcged White Noise just a bit ago... not very good really. The ending was TERRIBLE! But the suspense was quite good. :D

[Dawn]

The last movie I watched was The Pacifier (http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/pacifier/). I took my 2 nephews and a friend to see it on Friday night. :D It was pretty good - not as funny as I hoped it would be, but cute anyway. ;) It was worth it just to see Vin Diesel play Mr. Mom. :laugh:

[granath]

The Indiana Jones Trilogy and the LotR trilogy. :erm:

[Jax]

Dawn I saw an ad for that the other day - I /so/ can't wait to see it! :D but it'll be months before it's out over here!! :roll:

[Kitsch]

Last film I watched was my Extended Edition of Return of the King.

Finally.

[cewp]

Ok...The last movie I watched was Category 6: Day of Destruction...Liked it so much I bought the DVD...a CBS Made for TV movie about two storms colliding over Chicago. Really cool if you're into the whole disaster movie thing (PICK ME PICK ME!!!!!) :D

[Mausey]

We saw The Pacifier as well and really enjoyed it. Great movie for the family. Vin did a pretty decent job of playing a fish (or should that be frog :D ) out of water. The look when he saw the mini van. :laugh:

I liked it a lot more than Kindergarden Cop. They kept the entire movie kid friendly and didn't throw in a lot of violence at the end to let the hero show off and save the day.

[McClance]

The last movie I watched in the theater was The Incredibles last November (I don't see movies in the theater much). I thought the movie was really good and held up Pixar's great reputation for excellent movies.


The last movie I saw on video was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.


The last movie I saw on DVD was Babylon 5: In the Beginning.

[AnnMarie]

Last night I watched "VAN HELSING"

Hugh Jackman.... :bow:

[Bob12]

I just finished watching The Incredibles on DVD. Really enjoyed it.

[Dawn]

Jax - Hope you enjoy it! :ok:

Cewp - I enjoyed watching Category 6: Day of Destruction when it was on tv. I'm a big fan of disaster movies. :good:

Mausey - I think my favorite part was the scene when the nanny tried to leave. :laugh:

[Ez]

The last movie I saw was The Motorcycle Diaries, on Friday at the Moonlight Cinema. It was very, very good, despite the problem of white subtitles being unreadable against a pale background.

[Jax]

Today I watched Alien 3, it's one I haven't actually seen before!! I never watched them before because they were just never on and I wouldn't watch the 2nd without watching the 1st etc, though I think I did see a fair bit of ressurrection or whatever it is, and over the last few months have seen the 1st 3 :D
Going on sale on Thursday again after being sold out before xmas /finally/ is the LotR extended edition trilogy and it's $30 than before so I'm going to buy it :bouncy: I never bought the 3rd extended by itsdelf because I wanted the set so I will finally be able to see the ext ed of ther RotK at long last!! :D Have seen the other 2 though thankfully!

[C_ris]

I just finished watching The Incredibles on DVD. Really enjoyed it.
ooh, I watched that a little while ago *slaps forehead... well, there IS a reason why i'm a Sievehead!

[j_mercuryuk]

well the last film i saw was card captor sakura, the first movie.
but the last new fio i saw was oceans twelve.

[Keita]

Under a Tuscan sun....

I liked this film! It's a different take on the types of love one can have in one's life...This woman is just divorced and goes to Tuscanny to clear her head. While there, she wishes for a wedding and a family in her house...and gets it, but not in the way she expected! A lovely film!

[Faren]

I watched "Without a Paddle" this week. It got some bad reviews, but I enjoyed it and thought there were some really hilarious scenes. :ok: Actually, the scenery was breathtaking (filmed in Oregon and British Columbia), the plot was a bit thin, but I laughed several times.

[Jax]

Ooohh I wanna see that Without a Paddle one, saw it advertised at the DVD shop but it's not out yet!

I just finished watching RotK ext version which I finally bought 2 days ago!! I got the triolgy cheaper than everyone else did when it came out, by almost $20!

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I just bought the Incredibles. I saw it in theaters and just had to get it, laughed out lous just as many times the second time around :rofl:

[Mausey]

The Day After Tomorrow. Pretty good except for the lame CGI wolves. :roll:

[Hans]

A classic: Live and Let Die (James Bond) on TV earlier this week and yesterday night The French Kiss (a comedy that was nice but didn't really made me laugh)

[AnnMarie]

Watched "SNOW DOGS" on Disney last night. Loved in the theaters, love the DVD...they didn't cut it too bad last night.

[Purpura]

Last Film I saw was Constantine.

[McClance]

I watched Dragonheart a few nights ago. I can't say how much I love that movie! :D

[Jax]

Hmm I watched that a couple of weeks ago Purp, Costantine, I loved it :D

Lastnight I watched most of Star Wars: A New Hope, that was on telly - so it had ads and I couldn't stay awake so I went to bed :roll:

[Anareth]

I just came from seeing "Ice Princess". Yes, I took myself out to a Disney movie. It is not actually as cheesy-dumb as the trailers make it look. A few technical problems, but not bad for a feel-good figure skating film.

[Dawn]

I watched The Wedding Singer last night on tv. I love to watch it - makes me laugh every time. :ok:

[Faren]

I just came from seeing "Ice Princess". Yes, I took myself out to a Disney movie. It is not actually as cheesy-dumb as the trailers make it look. A few technical problems, but not bad for a feel-good figure skating film.
I have to find a film to take my daughter and a couple of friends next week. I think this might be a good choice. :good:

[granath]

I watched Return of the Jedi last night on TV. It was the version with new special effects, but with the original actor as Anakin Skywalker at the end (FYI Sebastian Shaw, David Prowse was just the guy inside the Darth Vader suit). The only change to the originals I really hated was the way Shaw was replaced by Hayden Christensen on the box set dvd. I was feeling a bit down, but when that came on I cheered up. I'm really going to have to buy the box set for myself... I borrowed it from a friend a while ago, and during the month I had it, I watched the movies 3 times, and during that period we also saw A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and on another channel, Phantom Menace. I wonder if Lucas is letting TV's show those for a lower fee if they do it just before the Episode III premiere in May? TV channels all over the world seem to be showing them now.

[Lady Legira]

The last film I saw was Proof of Life (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228750/) . A film with Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan.

Plot Outline: Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America.

I enjoyed it, slow moving but I think it works with this to build up the tension.

[Jax]

I watched The Day After Tomorrow again lastnight (well, I tried yesterday but needed a nap part way through :angel: I so love that movie and am very glad I got it on DVD! Been too busy with work to watch 3 movies a day lately ;) :razz:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I really loved that movie Day After Tomorrow, some dazzling, mind-blowing special FX, but I just have a very difficult time watching it after that Tsunami in December :cry:

[NeouofPern]

"Be Cool", I believe. Do NOT see it. It was horrible, and confusing.

[Dux]

The Godfather - last night
Bourne Identity - the night before

[NeouofPern]

I just realized I saw "Ten Things I Hate About You" two days ago. I loved it. :ok:

[jamnar]

Watched The Incredibles ,saturday night. Loved the dvd extras, Jack-Jack Attack very funny.
Last film at the cinema was Meet the Fockers, still laughing. :bouncy:

[Nefermiw]

The last film that I saw in the cinema was "Sophie Scholl". It was really really good. You can read about it here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426578/). For the last half of the movie tears were pressing on real hard, but I just wouldn't cry because I knew that if I let the tears fall then I couldn't see the movie for tears :cry: . As I said: a really good movie :good: .

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I just finnished taping 'Conspiracy Theory' from tv. Oh how I love that movie, hilarious and sad at the same time. "Hmm, I can't remember the combination for the lock on the coffee. Want some grapefruit juice instead?" :roll:

[Mayhem]

Last film I watched was Pitch Black. Coooool film! Vin Diesel 'makes' it *grins*

[Jax]

I watched Tank Girl and The Bourne Supremacy yesterday :D

[Ez]

Went to see Be Cool at the cinema on Tuesday. It was really quite enjoyable, and very funny in places. I went into it with absolutely no expectations, and not even especially wanting to see it (there's nothing currently on that I really want to see) but it was $5 Tuesday so I thought, why not? Glad I saw it though, a good bit of amusing entertainment.

[Ez]

Ooohh I wanna see that Without a Paddle one, saw it advertised at the DVD shop but it's not out yet!


I saw that when I was in Christchurch. It was a lot of fun. Very funny film.

[Jax]

Lastnight I watched Hideaway, with Jeff Goldblum and Alicia Silverstone, it was ok, a tad boring in the middle but action enough at the end :D
Today I watched several :blush: I love days off, I watched Sleepover (a reasonably recent release I think), A Cinderella Story - with Hilary Duff, and Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back - cools :D
Just FYI I went to the DVD shop today and got out 10 weeklies and some new releases so I may remember to be posting more in here soon :roll: :blush:

[Ez]

I watched (for about the zillionth time) Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone this arvo. I love those movies...

[Jax]

Hmmm let me see if I can remember, I watched Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, Mooseport, The Prince and Me, I watched parts of King Arthur
(oh yeah and if anyone wants to make comments about the types of movies these are, it was Good Friday and everything was out and I've less choice now as I've seen a lot of the ones that were there! :razz: LOL not that I don't like the cheesey teenage movies cuz I love them I do!)

Without a Paddle is out now but there were none there when I went to get one :( I think the person in front of me took the last one while I was busy saying something to my Ma!! :roll:

[Dawn]

I watched most of Alien Apocalypse last night on SciFi Channel. It was interesting... ;) :laugh:

[Faren]

I saw "Robots" last Friday with my daughter and her friends. It was a predictable storyline, but the animation was excellent and of course having Robin Williams as one of the voices added to the comedy.

BUT, I watched "Finding Neverland" on DVD Friday night. Besides the fact that Johnny Depp was lovely to watch, it was an excellent movie. The child who played the boy Peter practically stole the movie IMO. Keep some tissues handy. :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I just watched Brother Bear for the first time. I love that movie, I want to buy it! Hilarious, but very heartbreaking at times too :cry:

[Jax]

it is a sad movie and I like it but it's not one of the greats for me for some reason...

I watched Comic Book Villains today - it was good, dunno if I'll watch it again anytime soon though! I love the guy who plays one of the characters though (apart from Cary Elwes who I :heart: ever since The Princess Bride and Robin Hood) I'm not sure of his name, but he was the geeky guy who's car they used to go on the road trip in Road Trip, and he was the main character in the movie The New Guy - he's funny :laugh:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Oooh, I gotta see that one! If it has Cary Elwes in it, I'll definately watch it! :good:

[Jax]

:D Bronze just FYI he's not the good guy in this movie ;)

[Tony]

The Core.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298814/

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

:D Bronze just FYI he's not the good guy in this movie ;)
ok. The only other movie I've seen him play a bad guy is in Ella Enchanted, oh btw, thats the other movie I saw recently :razz:

[Lali]

I watched The Bicentennial Man today (being a fan of Asimov's stuff).

It wasn't too bad. Very sentimental... Robin Williams was quite funny, but I do think that there are other people who could have played his part better...

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

You're probably right, songbreeze, other people could have played the part better, but it's still a dang good movie if it can break me down to tears every time :cry: And thanks to that movie I always think of Aivas as having Robin William's voice :D

[granath]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone yesterday. Fun movie.

[Jax]

I just watched Joan of Arc, the one with Leelee Sobieski in it - is cool :D

[Kitsch]

I watched The Bicentennial Man today (being a fan of Asimov's stuff).

It wasn't too bad. Very sentimental... Robin Williams was quite funny, but I do think that there are other people who could have played his part better...

Plus, if you could have yourself any human body in the world, why would you choose to look like Robin Williams?

;) :evil:

[Bob12]

I just watched Joan of Arc, the one with Leelee Sobieski in it - is cool :D
I agree with you - I've never seen a better portrayal of Joan.

[GoldriderAria]

*smirks* Last night...I rewatched all of 'Pete's Dragon' for the first time in about 15 years. And I admit, I couldn't help comparing Elliot to various other dragons out there (Pern, medieval european, etc)...though especially comparisons to Pern dragons came to mind. *chuckles* Invisibility seems to be a good dragon trait! Too bad more don't have it.

I also hadn't even *realized* that Red Buttons was in that film! (last time I saw it I was too young to know who Red Buttons *was*). So I thoroughly enjoyed myself rediscovering it.

For *new* movies, the most recent was 'Ray.' It was a heartbreaker! But Jamie Foxx did *SUCH* a good portrayal of Ray Charles! It was a deeply moving film. It was also nice to see Warwick Davis acting in a role that allowed for regular human clothing (as opposed to Nelwin, Ewok, strange Hogwarts' professors, etc).

~Aria

[Jax]

Who is Red Buttons?!?!? :confused: Actors with weird names are cool :cool:

[Monkeysrule]

Reign of Fire. Two days ago. Cool movie about dragons (even if they are the bad guys)

[Dawn]

Who is Red Buttons?!?!? :confused: Actors with weird names are cool :cool:

Red Buttons (http://www.amdest.com/stars/redb.html) :)

[Jax]

Hmmm thanks Dawn, don't think I've ever seen of anything with him in it, which is why I'venot heard of him :D cept maybe Pete's Dragon, and I barely remember that!

[granath]

Red Buttons sounded like an assumed name, and checking his bio I found he was. Real name Aaron Chwatt.

I agree about Warwick Davis. The only time I've seen him actually play a human was in a cameo in Phantom Menace (in the crowd cheering at the podrace).

The last film I saw was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. No sorcerers for me! :devil:

[GoldriderAria]

*nods* Though Red Buttons fits him so well! The things I've seen him in that I loved were Pete's Dragon (obviously) Hatari (with John Wayne. They catch African animals for zoos...back when this was acceptable practice. Romantic comedy at times), and he voiced Robespierre (small black kitten sidekick) in the animated movie Gay Purree (also starring Judy Garland). All of these I recommend unless someone has a distinct hatred of any particular genre. I will note that Hatari is probably the best John Wayne movie I've seen. The women get the better of him a few times. *chuckles* And it's not a traditional 'western.'

~Aria

[Danae]

Last movie I watched was last night, The Incredibles.

[Monkeysrule]

Ooh, I want to watch that!! I just saw Open Water, that one with the stranded snorkelers and the sharks. Kinda stupid.

[Jax]

Hmmm s'been a while since I posted in here and I'm not sure if I'll remember the movies I watched, but so far off the top of my head;
Soul Plane (so-so)
Hero (wasn't what I was expecting but the fighting was excellent as usual!)
Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse (good but I liked the first better)
Shaun of the Dead (was pretty funny, but gory in places, I enjoyed it, not scary at all)

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Hero (wasn't what I was expecting but the fighting was excellent as usual!)
I LOVED that movie! Wasn't what I was expecting either, quite confusing with shifting plots and everything, but it had some gorgeous cinematography and some of the most realistic martial arts fight scenes I have ever seen. Most fights usually look choppy and choreographed, but here it looked very real and natural.

[Berd]

National Lampoon's: Van Wilder
It was pretty darn funny. ;)

[Dawn]

I watched Fried Green Tomatoes last night on tv. :ok: I've always liked that movie.

[Jax]

I watched The Incredibles which I bought the other day, I so love that movie :D
I also watched Starsky and Hutch

I saw most of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and Phone Booth as well.

[pern_queen_rider]

I just saw Saw..if there was ever a flipped up movie, that was it...

[Nenwen]

Van Helsing and I'm gonna copy it off the satellite dish in a few more hours when it comes on again.

Gotta admit, for a younger guy, Hugh Jackman looks kinda sexy with the scruffy rugged look...not really attracted to his RL look tho.

[j_mercuryuk]

finding neverland. very good film.

[Jax]

I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine Mace :heartbeat

I'd love to see Finding Neverland JMerc, wish I'd been able to go see it at the theatres!

[McClance]

I saw most of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade,...


I just watched that movie a few minutes ago. :)

[Monkeysrule]

The Incredibles. Last night.

[j_mercuryuk]

sword in the stone, for the first time.

[Cherry]

Last movie - The Forgotten, with Julianne Moore. Good movie, but stupid, kind of fell apart at the end.
Also just bought Dumbo because I love it, especially the crows :ok:

[JayEgo]

Enjoyed a wee tipple :wine: and watched 'Prisoner of Azkhaban' for the third, or fourth time again last night :ok:

Ja¥son xx

[Danae]

the last recently come out movie I watched was "Ice Princess" The last movie I watched though was the 2nd Matrix movie.

[jamnar]

Donnie Brasco- last night on TV, because of Johnny Depp :heartbeat

[Crysania]

Matrix 2.

Hopefully sometime this week I'll be going to see SinCity! :bouncy: Finally!

[granath]

Backdraft. Silly but entertaining pyro movie about two brothers who're also firemen. How could I resist when the brothers were Brian (William Baldwin) and Steven (Kurt Russell) McCaffrey! :devil:

[serrin]

Movies?? Movies?? Who has time for movies? It's BASEBALL SEASON!!! Yaaaaayyyy!!! oh alright, I watched Dances with Wolves the directors cut on tuesday cuz the Mariners had a day off!! And the next time they have a day off I think I'll watch Sleepy Hollow just cuz its a good dark movie!

[McClance]

I just watched Dr. No a few minutes ago. :)

[Dawn]

In the last two days, I've watched: The Day After Tomorrow, Black Hawk Down, Open Water (well, we watched 45 mins of it before we decided it was the worst movie EVER and turned it off. :roll: We started rooting for the sharks.), The Forgotten & The Chronicles of Riddick.

Yep, movie marathon. :D

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I just finnished watching 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. I really like that show. It seemed so natural and realistic in the dialogue and development of characters. Of course, there were a few silly scenes with Jim Carrey as a little kid hiding under the table and bathing in the kitchen sink, but I think it was funny :D

[Jax]

I just finished watching Seabiscuit for the first time - way cool movie :cool:
I love Tobey MaGuire :heartbeat

[Faren]

I watched Sideways last night. It had several LOL moments, but was a lot darker than I expected. Beautiful scenery though...it's set in California's wine country. And if you love wine, you will probably get a big kick out of the movie. It definitely needs the "R" rating though...there's more male nudity than female. :eek:

[Keita]

The Chronicles of Riddick - :erm:
Timeline - :good: :good:
Shark Tale - :rofl:
The Forgotten - :roll: :banghead:

[McClance]

I watched Apollo 13 last night. Beautifull music! :)

[Jax]

I watched Anchorman with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, and Vince Vaughan :laugh: it's funny :D

[Jax]

I just watched Taxi, with Queen Latifah, I forget the guy's name :blush: Man that is a hoot and a half :D

[TamTam]

Saw Sin City last week. Boy, talk about gruesome. If you're sqeamish, don't see it. But it had a read comic book feel, and they seemed almost proud about the amount of film noir cliches they could trot out.

[Jax]

I watched Saved lastnight, with Macaulay Culkin (and I have to say, I'm glad he is making movies again!) and Mandy Moore, I don't know who the main chick was though. It was very much into religion and prayer to start off with - and it was funny at the same time, I rather enjoyed the movie. The main girl finds out her bf is gay and she thinks jesus tells her to help him, by having sex with him, to try and turn him to the right path, and she ends up getting pregnant. A good watch!

[Dawn]

The Chronicles of Riddick - :erm:
The Forgotten - :roll: :banghead:

I think those were my responses too, Attraio. :laugh:

Riddick was okay, but I much preferred, Pitch Black. :ok:

And I was just so mad that they ended The Forgotten that way. :irked: I wanted more explanation.

[Flinx]

The last movie I watched in the cinema was Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow.

The last movies I saw on DVD was The Italian Job (1969), The Italian Job (2003), Wayne's World & Wayne's World 2.

[Keita]

I think those were my responses too, Attraio. :laugh:

Riddick was okay, but I much preferred, Pitch Black. :ok:

And I was just so mad that they ended The Forgotten that way. :irked: I wanted more explanation.

Exactly! :good:

[Jax]

:eek: I LOVED Riddick!! :D I had to buy it on DVD as soon as I could too! :heartbeat

[Keita]

I made the mistake of reading the book first.... :roll:

[Just Bob]

Last night I saw The Hunchback of Notre Dame (http://imdb.com/title/tt0014142/), my second ever silent movie (after Metropolis).
I knew that it had to work extra-hard to get past the technology limitations when viewed by a modern person like me, but it did okay. I was moderately impressed with the acting and pace, and the score. The only problem was that the characters were a bit 2D, with little acknowledgement of moral relativity or internal justifications for seemingly unpleasant acts. It always disappoints me when the "goodies" are good because they're the goodies, and win because they're the goodies, and vice versa for the "baddies".

[Jax]

Ooohhh you should watch that silent movie by Mel Brooks, I've only seen part of it and have heard that it's rather funny, I /think/ it is called Silent Movie, but I can't be sure, the part I saw was funny anyways :D Old school humour, but still good :D

I recently watched Without A Paddle - that was pretty funny most of the way through!!! :ok: :ok:

[Just Bob]

Ooohhh you should watch that silent movie by Mel Brooks, I've only seen part of it and have heard that it's rather runny, I /think/ it is called Silent Movie, but I can't be sure, the part I saw was funny anyways :D Old school humour, but still good :D
I told a friend I'd seen Hunchback, and he immediately reccomended Silent Movie too. I really need to watch some Mel Brooks stuff.

[Jax]

rather runny!! :roll: LOL ditz me!

Hmmm, if it were at the DVD shop i'd be interested in getting it too, but I've never seen it there :-/

[Dawn]

Pretty in Pink :D It came on tv the other night. I used to watch that movie all the time as a teenager. ;) Had a crush on Andrew McCarthy. :heartbeat

[Jax]

I liked Andrew McCarthy too Dawn - especially in Mannequin!!
I always wondered though, if he was gay, something didn't seem quite right about him... :-/

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Just finnished watching Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones. I very much regret missing out on seeing this film for 3 years! It is SO much better than Episode I. It could have been improved and explained better if the deleted scenes had been kept in though. It was a long movie already, but what's 15 more minutes? Nearly all the deleted scenes were character driven, and they chopped that out in favor of action *sigh*

[Faren]

I finally watched Sideways on DVD. It definitely deserved it's "R" rating, and was a much darker film than I had expected from the previews. Still it had some very funny moments, and a hopeful ending. The scenery was gorgeous too...made me want to go driving around in California's wine country. :ok:

[TamTam]

Last night I saw The Hunchback of Notre Dame (http://imdb.com/title/tt0014142/), my second ever silent movie (after Metropolis).

Oh, Bob, how did Metropolis end? I took it out of the library, and the last part of the tape was all messed up. I got to the part where the robot was dancing in front of everyone, and that was it. :sad: Now it's bugging me bad. Help!

[AnnMarie]

Right now, I've got "The Secret of My Success" on TV. I love Michael J. Fox!

[Just Bob]

Last night, I saw The Star Wars Holiday Special (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0193524/). See my seperate thread.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Latest rental is The House of Fyling Daggers. Wow, that is such a stunning movie. It is so complex both emotionally and visually. It is without a doubt my #1 favorite foreign film :good:

[Jax]

Just watched Bridget Jones 2, it was pretty cool, I'd held off seeing it cuz I thought 'meh' but it was good :ok: :D

[Keita]

Just watched "The last emperor". Don't know how accurate it is historically, and some of the acting was really bad, but I enjoyed it nevertheless!

[Flinx]

This weekend watched The Cat Returns, Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind, Porco Rosso & The Incredibles.

[Jax]

I just watched Anacondas, it was pretty cool, and one time the snake came out it gave me a fright... ;) I don't often get frights from movies - unless I go to watch with my best friend who gets massive huge frights, and in jumping, gives me a fright :D
It was kewl :ok:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

It was kewl :ok:
I saw that a few months ago. was ok, but could never measure up to the original :good:

[granath]

Just watched X-Men again. Ahh, Wolverine! Mindless entertainment perhaps, but it was a lot of fun.

[Just Bob]

This weekend watched The Cat Returns, Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind, Porco Rosso & The Incredibles.
Yay! Ghibli marathon! I'm a big fan of Ghibli and Miyazaki (although The Cat Returns is my favourite out of those 3).

Last night, I saw the original 50s House on Haunted Hill, and I am now convinced that Vincent Price is an absolute dude. He owned the whole film and everyone in it. The other actors weren't that bad either, and the story was interesting, although the sets were a bit dodgy.

[Dawn]

Watched The Running Man on tv last night. :runaway:

[Flinx]

Saw The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy at the cinema.

Watching The Fifth Element as I type this. Also recently watched on DVD What's Up, Doc?, Monsters, Inc., Love actually & Blow Dry.

[granath]

Girl With A Pearl Earring, The Stepford Wives and Dirty Dancing 2. In that order, getting increasinly tipsy on the way. GWAPE was decent, I wouldn't've known Colin Firth could be that sexy, and I like Scarlett Johansson more each time I see her. I'll need to watch Stepford again when I'm sober, really liked it. Dirty Dancing 2 was an utter waste of time (see the horrible movies thread).

[Jax]

I just watched National Treasure - that is a pretty cool movie :D I loved the clues and stuff and how he figured them out :ok: :ok: two giant thumbs up for me

[Just Bob]

Saw Legalese a couple of nights ago. It seems to have been a TV movie, and I watched it solely for Melissa-Joan Parker. She's not that well known because she does most of her work on stage, but she's had strong supporting roles in several films, and an ongoing run in TV's The West Wing, where I first noticed her. I love the fact that everything she does has has multiple levels to it: when she smiles, there'll be an undercurrent of mischief, or confusion, or she'll be angry but with a touch of sadness.
Oh yeah, and I'd also really like to go out with her. :bow: :roll:

[granath]

And another brilliant performance by Sean Bean as the villain. I just don't understand how they could pick such a totally uncharismatic leading man. That's one movie that had me rooting for the bad guys all the way!

[j_mercuryuk]

I THINK the last film I saw was H2G2, either that or half of the EE FotR, with my mum.

[Bob12]

Phantom of the Opera - the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. Outstanding adaptation. 16 year old Emmy Rossum was very good as Christine and has an incredibly pure voice.

[NeouofPern]

I saw "The Interperter" last week. It was predictable, sadly so. But there was happy African dance music randomly in the end. And a good whore scene. XD

[Just Bob]

Phantom of the Opera - the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. Outstanding adaptation. 16 year old Emmy Rossum was very good as Christine and has an incredibly pure voice.
Interesting. I thought it sucked. Okay, the singers were not bad, but I had no sympathy for any of the characters, especially the Phantom. I just kept thinking "How bad can it be if he only needs that tiny little mask to hide it? And he's pretty handsome otherwise." And _nobody_ picked up on it! Also, every time they burst into song, their voices suddenly got three times as loud and much more echoy. How can a voice suddenly develop masses of echo, when standing in exactly the same spot?

[Crysania]

I finally saw Fight Club for the first time last night. Can we say totally bizarre? But also totally :cool: I love weird movies like that.

[maygirl]

The kdis and I went to see The HItchhikers Guide to the Universe last Saturday. What a laugh we had, great fun. I love ALan Rickman as Marvin he sounds soooooooooooo right.

THe film before that at the pictures was National Treasure. Pure and great escapsim. I will be buying this as soon as I can, it is out on dvd now.

I love The Dish.

[Bob12]

Interesting. I thought it sucked.
That's why there are so many different movies made - can't please everyone.

[Jax]

I watched The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind and boy is that a weird warped kinda movie - very strange, but entertaining! :D

I also watched Against the Ropes, with Meg Ryan and Omar Epps, I don't know why, but I thought that Meg Ryan was going to be the boxer :roll: even with Omar in the boxing gear on the cover, and Meg in a red dress - go me :laugh:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Today I was invited out to see The Man In the Iron Mask. I'm not a fan of Leo DiCaprio, but I love any movie having to do with the Musketeers :D

[Jax]

Cools Bronzie, I quite like that movie and i'm not much of a fan of Leo either!

I watched The Golden Child today, old school special effects!! :laugh: made in 1986 with Eddie Murphy in it. I so don't know how people find him not funny at all!! :laugh:

[Kitsch]

I last watched King Arthur Extended Edition on DVD. This got panned by critics pretty much but I enjoyed it.

[Bob12]

I've found that when critics don't like a movie, it's a "must see" for me and I almost always like it.

[Just Bob]

So you like Gigli?

Last night I saw another movie from my cult horror box-set: Carnival of Souls. It has a couple of good moments, but on the whole it was very much second-rate. It looked to me like the low-budget first movie of a director who would later be quite good. I'll have to check up to see if it is.
Over the weekend, I also saw Kingdom of Heaven (in the cinema, of course) and American Graffiti (on TV).
The former impressed me. I thought it was good, but not as good as Gladiator; at times the sentiments were a bit anachronistic, but it was especially interesting on an educational level. I watched it with a friend who has studied this period of history in uni, and he says the succession of events is pretty accurate, as far as he knows. If anyone wants to go and see it, I would encourage them.
The latter movie I did not like at all, largely because I didn't care what happened to the characters. Maybe I'm from the wrong generation, or the wrong part of society, but I had no sympathy for anything they did or felt, which is pretty much essential in that kind of rite-of-passage story. The only real redeeming feature is the great soundtrack, full of early 60s rock 'n roll. George Lucas may have gone on to Star Wars, but I see nothing in common between them and this movie.

[McClance]

I just watched Flight of the Navigator on DVD a few minutes ago. :bouncy:

One of my all-time favorite movies. :bouncy:

[Bob12]

I haven't seen Gigli and don't plan to - I don't care for the main cast. i just finished National Treasure and enjoyed it though.

[geishagirl]

DOn't remember the last mowie I vatched! :D :roll: ;)

[Just Bob]

Saw The Outlaw Josey Wales (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075029/) last night. It was pretty good, although not my favourite Clint Eastwood movie (directing or starring). I thought it was only okay until the scene between Eastwood and the Comanche chief, which was superb and pushed the whole filom up a notch in my estimation.

[Jax]

Ooooohhh, let me see, I watched, The Stupids (I love that song, I'm my own Grandpa), The Golden Child, Sleepover... uhhh I think that's it :D

[Ez]

Went to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night. I really enjoyed it. A couple things were different to the way I have always imagined them to be, that's to be expected. I kept expecting to hear Marvin take points from the Gryffindors or something, because he's voiced by none other than Professor Snape, Alan Rickman. :)

[Dawn]

Just went and watched Sahara (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318649/) tonight. :ok: I really liked it. Lots of action and more humor than I thought it would have.

[Faren]

I liked it too, Ez. I though Snape...I mean Rickman, was wonderful as Marvin. :ok: :laugh:

[Paulita]

Last film I saw was the hitchhikers guide too. It was better than expected but then I have read the books, seen the TV show and listened to the original radio series so I was bias in some respects. The ending was a bit corny however.

[Jax]

Hmm, I've seen Mean Girls, again, Terminator 3, again, Calendar Girls.... am about to head off to the DVD shop but am not holding out too much hope since it's Saturday night already and there're never any DVDs around :roll:

[Jax]

Hmm, had to keep my DVDs a day over when they were supposed to go back because of the power cut, but I watched Ella Enchanted, which is pretty cool, and rather funny :D I also saw Bride and Prejudice, which was actually pretty cool too, but I had to watch it in a weird way (with a lady doing a voiceover of what everyone was doing when there was no talking - turns out one of the speakers cords had come out of the back, the centre one, and I could hear all the other sounds, but not the voices/talking :roll: but we got it fixed anyways - the tv is in front of the window and the puppies like to race behind there when someone visits, or the neighbour's cat is out there teasing them)
Aaaanyways, it's so cool seeing Martin Henderson (kiwi actor) doing other movies, like Torque (though I've not seen that and have heard it's crud), The Ring, and stuff.
I also watched my copy of Shrek 2 - gotta love that movie :D

[Crysania]

Last movie I saw was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night. Kinda disappointing because I've read the books but a pretty good movie over all. Before that I was forced to watch Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. :roll: Oh my gosh, I don't think I have ever seen a worse movie. And yet, it was all the more hilarious for being completely horrible.

[Just Bob]

I saw The Jacket (with Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley) last night, and it was very good. I won't reveal any of the plot, as it's a bit intricate and it may spoil the impact if you don't have to work it out for yourself. Suffice to say it's one of those movies that messes with your head a bit, like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but, in this case, with a rather more Stephen King feel to it. In fact, at various points I did take to wondering whether it was based on a Stephen King short story.
Going to see the new Star Wars tonight... at half past midnight!

[j_mercuryuk]

'Prefect Blue', it's actually quite clever, though I knew which two people were involed from the begining. I can see why it would freak you out if you happened to be stoned at the time (don't worry I wasn't). :D :cool:
Good film.

[Jax]

I watched Eurotrip again today, just for the halariousness factor!! :cool: :D :ok:

[McClance]

The last movie I saw...

STAR WARS III: REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!!!

[j_mercuryuk]

I watched Eurotrip again today, just for the halariousness factor!! :cool: :D :ok:


It had good bits, like the whole mobile phone thing. But there were so many unbelieve bits e.g, London looked clean!!! :D :shhh: :fiend: :devil:

[Just Bob]

Patriot Games, on TV last night. It was okay, but the plot wasn't entirely clear. I was never sure enough of the situation to identify with the characters.

[Dux]

The last movie I saw...

STAR WARS III: REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!!!
heh heh! Me too, today! Excellant!!!!

[geishagirl]

looooove your Avatar Dux!!! Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was also the last one I watched :bouncy:

[Nenwen]

X-Men and X-Men 2 in that order... :applause:

And you better believe I was tired having to drive all the way to Denver the next morning on only an hour and a half of sleep.

I blame my uncle of course...he made me wait til midnight before I could watch both of the movies because he wanted to watch golf :redfruit:

But it was worth it and now I can hardly wait to get my books and videos in the mail which should arrive in early June :cool:

[Maira]

Last movie i saw in the theatre: Kindom of Heaven (though i'm going to see star wars III on tuesday)

Last movie i saw at home: Lord of the Rings: Two Towers.

[Yonuh Adisi Fiend Jedi]

Last movie I saw in a theater. Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

Last Movie I watched at home. Star Wars Episode V Empire Strikes Back.

[Crysania]

I haven't seen Episode III yet. Hopefully I'll get there sometime next weekend :crossfingerssmilie:

The last movie I watched though was Save the Last Dance and right before that it was Not Another Teen Movie which was playing on Comedy Central. I had never seen it before. It was... interesting...

[Keita]

Just this morning before I went to Uni I watched "Star Trek II: The wrath of Khan"

[Jeffrey555]

Went to see Star Wars III yesterday.

[Purpura]

Star Wars III on Friday the 20th of May

[Dux]

looooove your Avatar Dux!!! Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was also the last one I watched :bouncy:

Thank muchly! C_ris did it for me when I became a Jedi Knight!

Hey! That's the same as me! :bouncy:

Tonight, I plan to watch Star Wars VI. :D

[Dux]

swishing light sabre sounds, eh?! :rofl:
:squintyeyedsmilie: You're laughing with me, right?

*swishing sounds get quicker and louder*

[Anareth]

Theater: Revenge of the Sith.

Home: Return of the Jedi.

[j_mercuryuk]

Revenge of the Sith. I thought it was very good. It would have been fantastic if it wasn't for the first part. It was still cool, but it just seemed to be trying up lose ends and that was it. No other purpose.

[granath]

Oceans Eleven on TV last night. Is 12 any good?

[j_mercuryuk]

Quite good, I think worth watching.

[Just Bob]

I stayed up until 2:50 a.m. last night (or this morning, depending on how you look at it) to watch Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy, and I was actually very impressed. People vilify Ben Affleck in general, but I still think he does good comedy, and in this film the romance worked as well, unlike Jersey Girl, for instance. It was funny, and touching and, above all, convincing. Jay and Silent Bob also did not grate as much as they have in other Kevin Smith films I've seen, possibly because they only had a short piece late on.

[Harper X]

The last One I saw was Life Aquatic. A very wierd film that most people wouldn't like.

[wulfin]

i saw Crash this weekend.

I thought it was.. interesting. They gave Sandra Bullock top billing and i believe she had maybe 10-15 minutes of screen time. I guess they just wanted her name in the flick.

As to what i thought of the movie, i found the pace rather slow and the subject very annoying. (one of my pet peeves is prejudice and thats what the whole movie revolved around, but had it to such extremism that it really just ticked me off.. i'm sure it could be like that in LA, but to me it's like nails on a chalkboard).

The movie was artistically done. It tells several different stories, but then they all come together in the end with a "ohhh" moment.

All in all..if it's something you'd want to see, i'd say..wait til video, but don't pass it over completely.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

First I saw Star Wars IV, V, VI, and last Saturday went to see ROTS with my cousins :D I LOVED it, but (don't impale me for this) I thought alot of the dialogue totally sucked. It was still by far the best of the newer ones, and Amidala had some of the best acting, especially when she sobs, "You're breaking my heart" I could really feel it. :cry: And the Effects were absolutely phenomenally MINDBLOWING!!! :good:

[Jax]

I've seen Lemony Snickett's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, which I thought was quite a cool movie, if different! Can anyone who has read the books tell me whether I should be expecting a sequel? :angel: :D
I also saw Team America: World Police and I thought it was pretty halarious! (Sorry Maus!!)
Also the quality of the puppet's expressions these days!! Boy o boy o boy!

[Crysania]

Last night I watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I thought it was really funny dispite the fact that almost everyone was killed in it. :roll: It had a very convoluted plot.

[granath]

Greenfingers, with yummy Clive Owen. :blush:

[Dawn]

Inspector Gadget. :D My nephew spent the night.

[Faren]

Last night I watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I thought it was really funny dispite the fact that almost everyone was killed in it. :roll: It had a very convoluted plot.
That was the prequel to Snatch (Brad Pitt!! :heartbeat ). SOme of the characters cross over. And you are right about the plot.:crazy:

[Faren]

And I just finished watching "The Fifth Element" for the umteenth time. I love that movie...Chris Tucker is sooooo funny!!:laugh:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I just rented 'In Good Company' with Topher Grace, Dennis Quaid and Scarlet Johansen. Wasn't quite what I expected, but still very good and amusing :D

Also saw The Horse Whisperer. Horses, Robert Redford, Sam Niel, Scarlet Johansen... how much better can you get? :applause:

[Yonuh Adisi Fiend Jedi]

Aliens was on T.V. tonight and before that Galaxy Quest also on T.V. and before that La bamba. raided my mother's movie cabinet.

[Dawn]

Watched Madagascar at a (theater) birthday party for my two nephews. :D It was pretty good. Had a few inside jokes that were funny too. :ok:

[Faren]

Ohhh I want to see that! It was pretty funny??? Excellent! :ok:

Yeah, it was pretty funny. ;) Especially all the references to other movies that they put in.

[Crysania]

Oh, they were talking about Snatch too but I didn't realize it was a sequel. Yay!! :bouncy: Now I have something else to watch. I love british humor. (at least I assume it's authentic british humor, correct me if I'm wrong please...)

[Crysania]

OH! And I finally saw Star Wars last night! :bouncy: It was soo good. I actually got tears in my eyes when Obi Wan and Anakin were fighting. :( I thought that part was really sad for some reason...

[Just Bob]

Oh, they were talking about Snatch too but I didn't realize it was a sequel. Yay!! :bouncy: Now I have something else to watch. I love british humor. (at least I assume it's authentic british humor, correct me if I'm wrong please...)
Oh, it's definitely British humour. I knew Snatch and Lock-Stock were from the same director (Mr. Madonna, unless I'm mistaken), but I didn't realize it was actually a sequel. One of these days I'll get around to watching Snatch. I thought the range of characters in Lock-Stock was especially good and especially amusing. :)

Last night, I saw A Fistfull of Dynamite, described as the last of the "spaghetti westerns" from director Sergio Leone. It had all of the style of the earlier woks, and an interesting plot well acted. My biggest problem was with the soundtrack, which had some backing singers going "Shom Shom Shom" over and over again for large sections. I thought better of Ennio Morricone.
Before that, I watched Father of the Bride, and found it to be great light entertainment, a nice and undemanding hangover cure. :shhh: :ouch: :wine:

[Jax]

Hmmm, I watched Scrooged, and then Cocoon, couple of old movies. Cocoon made me really want to watch Batteries Not Included again - I so love that movie!! :heartbeat

[NeouofPern]

I saw Madagascar on Friday... Eh, overall it was pretty bad, but it had moments. I love the penguins, and those chimps. And that stupid song the lemurs sing that gets stuck in your head... "I like to move it move it..."

And yesterday I saw the new Star Wars. Blech. Don't see it. It's pretty awful.

[granath]

All but the climax of Sith. Had to go to the loo in the middle of the Obi-wan - Darth Vader battle, after having sat through about an hour's agony. So I got less out of the movie than might be expected. However, it did blow the two other prequels right out of the water, and I'll definitely rent the DVD, even if I don't buy it.

[Bardmaiden]

Just seen Revenge of the Sith

Thought it was really :cool: :good: :ok:

[-H-]

Just seen Revenge of the Sith

Thought it was really :cool: :good: :ok:

What a coincidence !!! me too !!!!

i went and saw the revenge of the sith too ... and i went bowling afterwards ... i won 2 games out of 3 :devil:

[SFAHarper]

It's been so long since I've seen a movie... The last one I watched, I think was Disney's Peter Pan, and only because we had just watched Finding Neverland.

:note: SFA :note:

[Crysania]

My aunt and uncle just purged their DVD collection so Danae and I ended up with 14 new ones between us. We're working our way through National Treasure at the moment.

[granath]

I hope it's not too arduous with NT. I loved it, for the sexy villain played by Sean Bean. :heartbeat

[Dawn]

Watched Double Jeopardy tonight on tv. :ok: I'd forgot how much I enjoyed it the first time I watched it.

[JayEgo]

Watched Donnie Darko last night... Strange film! Not sure abour what it was about? **SPOILER?** Was he mad? Was he simly time travelling? I'm not completely sure! :crazy: Worth a watch IMO :ok:

Revenge of the Sith :D

Ja¥son xx
Definite SPOILERS below

You could fill a couple of threads with all the theories as to what Donnie Darko is actually about. I reckon he's just looking through the tunnel to the future, and as he changes it (having seen it), his past self views the new, adjusted reality through the tunnel. Hence, the decision as to the shape of the future ultimately rests with him.
Or something.

[Crysania]

I watched the last half of American Psycho the other night! :eek: Talk about a freaky movie. I wouldn't have figured out the end if I hadn't had someone there who'd seen it before. Very strange.

[Dawn]

While my computer was down for a few days, I watched "Atomic Tornado" on tv. :laugh: I was desperate. :roll:

[Crysania]

I saw One Hour Photo tonight. Another super creepy one. Oh my gosh. That guy was insane. But the movie had Michael Vartan in it. :bouncy:

[granath]

I loved One Hour Photo. It was great to see Robin Williams tackle such a nasty, creepy character so well.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I wonder how many people switched to using digital cameras after watching that movie? :evil:

My newest rental was Napolean Dynamite. That was so pointlessly hilarious :rofl: He's such a spaz... GOSH! Hehe that deserves a place in my sig :D

[Harper X]

I just watched TITAN A.E. on television. I have wanted to see that movie for years. I am glad I finally watched it.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I LOVE that film :D One of my favorite movie lines of all time - "I think I'll name it.... Bob" :rofl:

Yesterday I recieved my Stargate Ultimate Edition Extended Cut in the mail. I was a bit put off that it had only ONE short scene added at the beginning, which I never even KNEW was added, I thought it was always there. But I still love the movie :bouncy: One thing I don't get... what's with that odd looking alien that inhabited Ra with the cleft in it's mouth?? WHERE ARE THE GOA'ULD???? Looks like the SG-1 series changed some things.

[Just Bob]

On Thursday, I saw The Birdcage. It's a remake of the classic French film La Cage aux Folles, which could be reasonably described as the original French farce. It starred Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman, and it was pretty good. The film was probably stolen by Lane, as a flamboyant drag queen, although the others support well. It also contains a hilariously prescient line about John Major (the film was made in '96, so they could not have known about him and Edwina Currie, surely).

[Jax]

I went and saw Kingdom of Heaven today at the theatre (wish I could have seen Star Wars, but the friend I went with hasn't even seen the other ones :roll:)
It was pretty awesome actually :D Does anyone know if the man that Orlando Bloom plays actually did what he did in the movie, is it actually real? Or just a story made up based on historical events?

[Just Bob]

I saw it with a guy who has studied the Crusades in general at uni (although not very specifically), and he said that it is pretty accurate, as far as he can tell. His only query was about what the main female character did at the end of the film.

[Jax]

Thanks JB! So the character is real, his name and everything he did and stuff? Am contemplating buying the movie when it comes out... :D

Just Bob, down to 18th highest poster on all-time KT. *shakes fist**waves @ JB behind her* ;)

[j_mercuryuk]

Just seen crison tide, hehe it has Viggo motrenson in :D :ok: . It was good, but it's not really my type of film so I did get alittle bored at some points :D

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Speaking of Viggo Mortensen... I got the Extended Edition of LOTR: ROTK :D It is SO much better. I still can't beleive I got it for $16! :bouncy:

[Azarias]

The last movie I watched was Equilibrium. It's definitely Matrix-inspired, and while it's not as good as The Matrix, I think it's better than either sequel. I think it's the only movie I've seen with Christian Bale, and his performance as Cleric Preston makes me more interested in seeing the new Batman movie. Also, it has 17 minutes and 48 seconds of Sean Bean dressed all in black, which would have had me watching it earlier if I had known.

And speaking of Viggo Mortensen: I rewatched G.I. Jane in some Memorial Day cable movie marathon and realized that he was the master chief in charge of training. Very interesting role. Demi Moore had to focus on being strong and capable, while he got to play a more ambivalent character.

[Brenda]

How about you give a short description ofthe movie for those who haven't seen it? Unless it's something like Star Wars 3.

The last movie I saw in the theater was Fever Pitch, with Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon - she falls for him not knowing he's a Red Sox fan - and I mean a FANATIC!!! She only finds out when she sees him on TV painted up for Spring Training! She's a workaholic, and the movie is about trying to find a balance - and the ending was so sweet!!! It's a great romantic comedy - we were laughing the whole time - and you really care about them and hope they get together!

I like that they had to rewrite the plot a little when the Red Sox started winning games last season!!!


I've been renting a lot of videos - most recently the original Singin' in the Rain - I love that musical! and Disney's Anne of Green Gables. The first time I saw that I hadn't read the book; now that I have it's even more enjoyable! A good family movie, especially for kids with really big imaginations! (Maybe not the boys so much... :erm: )

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I watched 'The Core' last night. About when the core of the earth stops spinning and causes the EM shield around the planet to deteriorate and leaves it vulnerable to all the sun's harmful rays etc. So they get a ship with nukes in it to 'jump start' the core of the planet and get it spinning again. SO campy, but surprisingly enjoyable :D

[Jax]

I liked that movie Bronzie :D
Hmmm I've seen a few since I posted here, but I doubt I'll be ab le to remember them all
Most importantly, I have seen Star Wars Episode 3!! :bouncy:
Garden State, Who's your Daddy?, Racing Stripes, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, I Heart Huckabees (strange!), Most of darn what was the title, The House of Flying Daggers? (kind of like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) the action in those movies is amazing! :cool:
And I have Finding Neverland to watch sometime today!

[Kath]

Last film I watched was "The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse". Nothing to do with LXG, thankyouverymuch, and everything to do with a small town named Royston Vasey and its rather peculiar inhabitants.


You'll never leave...

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I finally got ahold of a rental of To Kill a Mockingbird. It did a pretty good job of adapting from the novel, but of course it can't beat it ;) But the most important part, the last speech of Atticus Finch before the Court Verdict, Gregory Peck got that part down to perfection.

[Brenda]

I just watched That Darn Cat - NOT the remake, the original with Hayley Mills! I get a kick out of most of her movies - she's a little meddler in all the one's I've seen!

How the heck did they get that cat to do all that???

[Nenwen]

Just watched Swordfish starring Hugh Jackman last night...was weird to see part of the ending at the beginning of the film but over all a great job as usual by Hugh:bow:

plus we got to see him wearing nothing but a towel :bow: No way he could have packed socks in that! :faint:

[Harper X]

I just watched piglets big movie with some friends

...

long story

[Brenda]

Nothing wrong with watching kid movies!!! How was it, by the way?

I watched The Secret Garden - I think it was by Warner Bros., and they screwed around with the story a bit, but they had some great casting, especially the boy who played Colin and Maggie Smith as Mrs. Medlock.

[Nefermiw]

I watched Finding Neverland the other day :D. It is really good :good:.
This must be one of Depp's best movies ever!

We rented it on dvd and watched it with origibal soundtrack, but the German title of Finding Neverland is: "Wenn Träumen fliegen lernen", which translated means: When dreams learn to fly (cute title :)) .

This is a MUST SEE movie :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

Well, I finally got to see Star Wars on Monday and...great special effects - but no real heart to the film.

[McClance]

Last night, I watched "Crocodile" Dundee II. Good movie. :)

Secondhand Lions - and I know some people can't stand Haley Joel Osmont, but he really did his character perfectly in this one!!!

Anthony DeLongis worked on that movie!:applause: he played the opponent in the sword fight and also coordinated much of the fight scenes in the whole movie, including the swordfight scene.

At a seminar in New Jersey in January 2004, I was one of many who got the chance to learn the elements of that sword fight scene and put it all together into one solid fight. He also taught whipcracking that weekend.

:bouncy: Was loads of fun.:bouncy:

Ooohh I remembered what the other movie I watched was - Elektra, not what i was expecting but still good :D
I watched Man on Fire tonight, it was pretty good too, and I didn't realise it was a true story until the end!
Oh yeah and we watched Spanglish the other day, it was quite funny in places, but am not sure if I like the ending or not *wrinkles up nose* I think it was a bit of a dumb way to tell a story, as a girl who was writing a university application telling the story of her mother to say at the end of it all, that she is her mother's daughter and getting in or not getting into the university would not make who she is :roll:

That's a real shame. I love the movie, but I do see where you're coming from. Although with your nick I thought you'd be a die-hard fan. :roll:

I watched Barraka (sp?) over at my Aunt and Uncles house last night. It's not a conventional movie though. I think it was originally made for Imax theatres and it's just a bunch of pictures (from 24 countries on 6 continents I think) with background music. Parts are funny and parts are just really, really sad. It makes you think that's for sure.

I watched Rabbit-Proof Fence last night - a movie from an amazing true story about three half-aborigine girls who are taken from their mother to protect them from becoming aborigines, and run away from the school they are taken to, travel over 1200 miles to get back home. Really inspiring, really sad.

Then for an uplift I watched The Importance of Being Earnest - it's so funny, and the music and characters are so perfect! Especially Judi Dench as Lady Bracknell!!!

Empire Records - I am SO glad I rented that :bouncy: (sorry for the huge write-up but I LOVE this movie)

It begins with the sort of predictable premise and line of events of a few quirky kids' jobs at stake as their 'Empire Records' store is about to be turned into a 'Music Town' with the rigid policy of NO revealing dress, tatoos or piercings, pretty much meaning all of them are kaputski. But many elements of this movie take a swerve from the norm and are ANYTHING but predictable, with some really memorable characters and serious moments. It doesn't bog itself down with cheesy mushy romantic wub junk, that part wraps up in roughly 3 minutes, but at least it has its own STYLE in it (though theres a real doozie line in that scene :roll:) Some situations border or even cross into the realm of total silliness, but the good thing is that this is unique, it doesn't fit in with the usual teen comedy stuff, for the most part it just lets it be itself. And it just loves MUSIC, this has so much great stuff from the mid-90's and earlier, a clear and enjoyable undertone of the whole movie. Any film that includes 'Vidio Killed the Radio Star' definately goes into my lists!


This movie has all that and, uh....... LIV TYLER!!! :inlove: :heartbeat :whee:

[Jax]

LOL I love that movie Bronzie! It wasn't the first time you saw it was it?
I watched most of The Aviator today, and found it rather boring in places... :erm:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Yup first time. NEED to buy that one. Also rented Robin Hood: Prince of Theives, with Kevin KOstner, but it didn't work in the VCR :sad:

[Keita]

I just saw Sahara. :bouncy: It was one of the most implausible action movies I ever saw but MAN was it fun to watch! :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

[Cherry]

I thought Sahara was fairly good, not a patch on the book, but acceptable by Hollywood standards.
Last week I went to see Batman Begins, which was brilliant.
Saturday night I watched Jack & Sarah, because it's a fave of mine.:frolic:
Booked to see War of the Worlds on Friday, so I hope it lives up to the hype.

ps love these new smilies::dragon2:
