Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which is a very different film from its predecessor and a pretty darn entertaining one in its own right. Detailed review here

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Tonight I watched Airplane. Absolutely loved it! However many decades on, it might be a bit out of context, what with disaster films not being the craze, but the gags are still brilliant, and the film itself is very good.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Lady Vengance in vengance series with movies like Old Boy and Sympathy for Mr Vengance.


It was not as sick those two movies cause this movie deal with how to plan and get the vengance than why like the other two movies.


Still it was a great movie. Very dark and alot great action,great camera work.

The Postman with Kevin Costner. Great film! It's based on the novel by David Brin.

The Good Shepherd. Quite good, although not quite what I expected. I guess I expected a bit more action, this was quite cerebral.

You must really love this movie, i saw it in your fav SF movie list.


I thought the premise of the story was alot better than the actual movie.


The movie that killed off Kevin Costner's career. Cant say im sad about that never liked the guy except in Wyatt Earp movie.

V for Vendetta - Cant compare it to the comics as its at least 15 years since I read them last but it was better than I was expecting, the ending was a bit preachy though.

Children of Men - I thought it worked as a look at a society in meltdown and some of the action sequences were pretty good. Apart from that there wasnt a lot to it, very weak storyline I thought. Never really understood how Clive Owen keeps getting all these leading roles.

Now that's something I didn't know - the film was based on comics.

Brilliant film, I thought. I especially loved the fight scene in the Underground station. Some amazing filming there.

I own the comic, the movie was pretty good movie version except the lame preachy ending. Much darker in the comic.


Clive Owens i cant stand either. Specially how he ruined Sin City for me....


I only liked him in one movie, that was one he played a croupier that tries to write a book. He was great in that. Always thought he should have done dark crime or spy stuff cause it the style suit him.
