I saw Forbidden Kingdom too. Agreed with Ravenus for the best fighting scene of the movie. The story is so stereotype, you can guess almost the whole story plot.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark on BBC1 - possibly the worst print that I've ever seen of the film - all crackly, and thin vertical white lines...
But still the best Indy film, IMAO.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw Harold & Kumar 2 (Escape from Guantanamo Bay [or something similar]).

Even if you're into stoner comedies, wait for the DVD because it's basically the same story/jokes as the first movie. Not that there wasn't a bit of originality in this, but I wasn't laughing nearly as hard as when I saw the first one in theatres. (Maybe my smoking 'tabacky' wasn't as good as it was the first time around.)

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Yes it was good, looking forward to meeting Neil tonight. I'll see if there's another film on the horizon, I heard Good Omens may be a goer.

EDIT: I saw the first 2 episodes of The Crow:Stairway To Heaven TV series (22 episodes) and I thought it was quite well done. Having commentary added made it omre interesting to view.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw Howard Hawks' 1946 film version of Raymond Chandler's novel The Big Sleep. The script which uses a lot of Chandler's original dialog is smart and brisk, but I personally felt the film suffered a bit from not having a stronger emotional focus on the moral decay described in the novel.
