300 was the last movie I saw. It was great a true visual feast!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

But not historically accurate. Bah! Since when has that stopped me? My friend said it was good as well.

Has anyone seen the Bean Holiday movie? I want to know whether it's decent enough to watch.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

On DVD, it was Sentinel-(Why I don't really know)
On TV, it was the Bourne Identity, haven't read the book so Matt Damons fine by me!
At the cinema, it was ages ago, and Da Vinci Code, which is the first film in a cinema I have ever wanted to leave before the end. The Hair!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

When my friend visited me over the weekend, we watched The Grudge. I love it purely for it's silliness value (scary woman with loads of hair rolling down the stairs, woo!) but my friend didn't seem so amused...she jumped about five times and kept cowering behind my pillow. Some people, eh? Useless

Hoopy... have you seen the Japanese original, Ju-On? I'd say it's much more effective, because of being so understated...

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Hang on...let me think...Hmm, I'm not quite sure. All these darked-haired women, they all start merging into one! I know I've definitely seen The Ring 1 and 2 in the original...

I'll have to dig it out from somewhere and watch it...then I'll know if I've watched it or not

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Let's just say she came across as much more menacing (to me) in the original... more like an elemental force, completely unstoppable, completely without compassion or even, necessarily, intellect.... sort of the hate version of the spirit in "How Love Came to Professor Guildea"....

Support your Local Sheriff.

A good chuckle film for easy viewing - apart from the prospecting scenes - they just seem a waste.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I also recommend Big Fish.

The last film I saw was Mr Bean's Holiday. My son really wanted to see this and I drew the short straw. It has awful reviews, and I can tell you they are all correct. One reviewer said "Why was this film made?" which I can't answer.

I admit to smiling a few times, the forged security pass I found funny. I thought that the video-tape alternative ending to the film was clever, as was the final walk to the beach. It was really a series of sketches like those, bolted together. Some worked, some failed, some have been done before on the TV show. The Oyster and Langustine restaurant scene is very similar to the Steak Tartare episode.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I saw 300 yesterday.

It was an amazing movie despite the hollywood crap with the over the top stuff that made the battle look like a joke sometimes. You know what "beasts" i mean


300 and Casino Royale are the only great hollywood movies i have seen in almost two years. The only ones you think damn thats something new from hollywood and that you count the days for the dvd to come out.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Black Snake Moan........

My hubby liked it, but then again, men are pervs.

Definetly NOT NOT NOT a movie for kids under 17. Not.

The first five minutes after the monologue intro had me about as red faced as this guy and doing this at the same time and this while covering my eyes and peeking through my fingers. Pretty much the way I watch all adult movies.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I do not get much time to watch movies since my work hours are awkward, but the last movie I saw was Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone But I did also see before that 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonder which is such a intelligent and thought provoking movie.
