| Re: What was the last movie you saw? I saw Sunshine. Highly recommended! Sol is dying so we send a ship to try to jump-start it. I liked how it shows the mental and physical stresses of what that kind of journey creates, and how the characters respond to it. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? The Corpse Bride... flawed here and there, but I find it a somewhat perverse but charming tale... Okay, when it comes to things like this, I'm a big kid... so sue me....  |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Saw Roman Polanski's Chinatown which is a damn good film noir with great performances by Jack Nicholson, Fay Dunaway and John Huston, although the way it ends might not be palatable to those who look for a more wrapped up conclusion. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Saw Painting with Fire, a documentary of the life and work of godlike fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. It's rather full of talking head interviews, which can get occasionally dull for a feature length piece, but there's a lot of interesting stuff to be garnered about Frazetta's life and his influence on the genre. Alongside several illustrators (I don't know anyone other than Brom), we also have lots of input from Ralph Bakshi (who made a Frazetta inspired animation film called Fire & Ice) and John Milius (who made the Conan the Barbarian movie) Frazetta himself comes across as an interesting man, aware of the importance of his work as an artist. He's had a varied life (at one point of time was a champion baseball player), and at a later stage also suffered setbacks (multiple strokes, pun unintended) but came back from them, even teaching himself to draw with his left hand. And of course there are numerous displays of Frazetta's awesome artwork presented quite nicely.  |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Watched Freedom Writers last night, and I liked it. Very inspirational, and Hilary Swank didn't aggravate me as much as she usually does. Good film. |
