What was the last movie you saw? - Page 220 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Three recently:

The Simpsons: I know most say it's just a long episode but I laughed all the way through the movie. Classic line: "Blessed penis."

The Kingdom: Cannot believe a talented actor like Chris Cooper was in this garbage. Felt like watching an episode of CSI:Riyadh. The short timeline of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was the best part.

Shrek the Third: Well, for a third time around it wasn't all that bad. Some very funny scenes.

Finally saw 28 weeks later last night - perhaps didn't quite have the impact of the first film but I still really enjoyed it. There were some powerful shots of a ruined London (it's easy to forget what a cinematic city it is!) and some impressive set pieces, all underpinned I thought by an intelligent subtext. Sadly there were a few plot holes but I didn't think that detracted too much - looking forward to 28 Months Later!

Cloverfield - Lived up to my expectations, and a nice long over due scratching of monster movie itch

I watched the epic and completely man-tastic (as my friends would say) Commando starring the one and only Governator last night. Truly a film of my childhood, I watched it so many times when a young lass!

Tillane · 19th January 2008, 11:22 PM

Ah, yes. Commando. Whatever happened to Rae Dawn Chong anyway?

And of course, Jenny grew up to live an, ahem...Charmed life.

Just finished watching A.I. Not bad, I suppose. Except in places, where it was bloody awful. Still, Jude Law was good fun.

Fave line from Commando:

Arnie: "You very funny Solly. That's why I kill you last."

Later, while Solly is being dangled over a cliff:
Solly: "I thought you were going to kill me last!"
Arnie (in best deadpan Arnie voice): "I lied." Drops him off cliff.

Saw the Hitchcock version of The 39 Steps, the man was a master of suspense and cinema (and blonde leads).

Good Night and Good Luck - I thought it was a great film, well executed and the topic very interesting.

Carry On Camping...
I know, I've absolutely no taste in films....will watch anything.

Adasunshine · 20th January 2008, 10:08 AM

There be nothing wrong with the Carry On films... I was raised on the damn things... they are my dad's humour to a T!

I have a soft spot for Cowboy, Matron and Jungle meself!

Unfortunatly is was Alien V Predator: Requiem which is a mess of a film once again sullying 2 great franchises.

No plot, No characterisations, lousy dialogue, low budget casting and effects, Only 1-2 half decent scenes in the film.

3/10

Oh, there's nothing wrong with them, but in these PC times....

Khyber's my own favourite..the dinner scene in the Residency, with lumps of ceiling falling on the table, and the stiff upper lips...priceless.

I saw two action thrillers by John Woo and Chow Yun Fat full of melancholy.

They were also great and full of hardcore shoot out scenes alà classic Yun Fat and Woo

They were shown in a row the two movies called A Better Tommorow I and II

Forget being PC, that stuff gets on my wick!
Carry On brought me up on humour. Theyre not all great but when theyre good theyre very very good!

Hoopy ... yay ... thanks ... am so going to get this. Giant octopus

And yes ... always a bonus having something like a head that talks.

Last two were Alien V Predetor. Not a bad film.
Then turned over and enjoyed THIRTEENTH WARRIOR again. Great film.
Does any one know if T.W. is based on a book and if so who is it by?
