Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Was that the director's cut, Woodsman? I've heard Ridley Scott argue that it's far better than the cinematic cut he was allowed, though I've not seen it myself.

Just watched Flyboys. A real popcorn flick, favouring Hollywood over historical accuracy, but enjoyable for all that. And better than the similarly themed Pearl Harbour, though that's not hard.

Hot Fuzz, and I loved it. It was even funnier than "Shaun of the Dead".

Hah, jinx, I watched that last night. I agree - top film. Some very well observed bits about the police force (my sis is a bobby) and village life in England.

Just watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Even though it deviates from the book, and you just can't beat the book, no way no how, as a film it's very entertaining. I love Zaphod and I love the scene made of wool!

Hot Fuzz for me as well. Superb, just as good as Shaun of the Dead.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Ah, I absolutely love Hot Fuzz, it's easily one of my favourite films. I love the simplicity of the plot as well! It could be something devious and complicated, but no! It's simply because "well, she did have a very annoying laugh", or because of spelling mistakes in the local newspaper. Awesome.

I just saw Hot Fuzz as well. It was funny. Some bad slasher movie bits in it. But bad in a good way. I didn't regret renting it.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw The Wild Blue Yonder made in 2005 by Werner Herzog. Splicing together documentary footage from a 90's NASA space expedition and an underwater shoot in the Antarctic, Herzog doctors a story about the discovery and exploration of another planet called The Wild Blue Yonder. Brad Dourif gives an enjoyably hammy performance as an alien from TWBY.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Well, due to the way the last week has gone, I felt like watching something presenting some serious emotional carnage combined with an apocalyptic theme.... So a rewatch of Romero's Day of the Dead... it's really surprising how well that film holds up... it seems to become better (to me, anyway) with repeated viewings)....

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Sorry Culhwch I'm not sure. Hot Fuzz is amazingly good IMHO.

Rewatched the Hunt For Red OCtober last night.

Something very shocking...I've just realised I haven't seen this film! I am appalled, appalled!

Anyways, just watched Blades of Glory. Ah, a funny film. Chazz and Jimmy are so lame, it's hilarious.

Hoops! I don't believe it! Oh, you've just shattered my world, child! Bad Hoopy! Bad Newt!

If you've not seen it, and you like Romero's films, you definitely should see this...

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw two movies back to back on Sunday at the cinema.

Knocked Up and Die Hard 4.0. Both really excellent (I'd never seen a Die Hard before).
