What was the last movie you saw?

Just watched Spiderman 3, and well, apart from Harry I didn't really like it, too much going on, tioo many bad guys/possibly good guys. I want one big bad to be afraid of..good special effects but there seemed a lot, and I can't be the only person who can not follow those sequences without getting a headache trying to work out whos where etc.. Oh and I get it-forgiveness is important. I did like the black suit though..

Oh cool. I've got a movie by him called Violent Streets on my stack of movies to be watched.

Just watched Notes On A Scandal. Rather interesting movie. Everyone has a urge to do something not fully thought about. It so happens her desperation for sex lead her to being with a fifteen year old. (That her i mentioned she is a teacher, the fifteen year old is her pupil).

Last night I watched M. Very good film, kind of makes you uneasy while watching it. Peter Lorre is so young in it too, I almost didn't recognize him.

[Winter Lord]

Pirates 3: At World's End

[Antares]

I just watched "300."

Wow, is all I can say: Gritty, bloody, violent...And a lot of hot ab shots.

Yeah, I liked it!

Just watched Hostel 2...way better than hostel 1!

[DarkIntentions]

Watched POTC 3.

Silly and pointless film.

[Stenevor]

Just seen Mother Night based on the Kurt Vonnegut book. No idea how it compares to the book as its one I havent read. A bit dark and depressing but worth a watch, Nick Nolte was very good as Howard Campbell Jr.

Saw Magicians at the cinema tonight. I think I saw Hoopy in the audience, so that was all good


Good fun film - Mitchell and Webb are funny guys, when they're not working as demon-spawn for Apple. The ending was a bit predictable though.

Last movie I saw was Bridge to Terabithia. Not exactly what I expected it to be, but certainly not bad.

Watched Children of Men earlier today...

*Spoilers*


Which I thought was pretty good, though I liked the premise/idea more than the actual story. Great cinematography and style, nice choice in actors and I liked that they left it fairly vague about how the fertility rate had dropped to zero. But if your going to do that and leave the end goal dark and mysterious, you need to add something otherwise there's the risk of it just being characters going from A to B which is what CoM felt a bit like to me.

There were a couple of things, particularly once they got inside the refugee camp that broke the 'suspension of disbelief' for me. Was that a really easy birth for a first time? Also the scene as they're leaving the building and the soldiers stand aside stunned as the baby passes but when the shooting begins again they all totally ignore the group leaving, if you had been shocked enough by the sight of the first baby born in 18 years surely some of them would have tried to help or at least shield the baby as they left?

One really big plus for me was that despite all that was going on, I don't think Clive Owen ever picked up a gun which made a very nice change from the standard everyday-man turned rambo heros.

Overall (IMO) a good movie, well above the usual sci-fi fare but maybe a bit short of what it could have been.

Edit: Just had to add that CoM also contains the best car chase scene that I have seen in a long time
