What was the last movie you saw?

[Quokka]

The Karate Kid a black hole of eightiesness.

[Lady of Winterfell]

Ratatouille. Quite a cute little movie.

I watched Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull last night. It had some somewhat illogical parts all the way through, but they could be forgiven, it was an Indiana Jones film after all. But by the end I was clutching my head and thinking "Why! Why!" The ending -- no, not good.

oh --- is it that bad then?

[HoopyFrood]

Well, without giving anything away, it's not that it's not good in the bland, boring sense. But it was just...ah, it's hard to say without saying what happens, but as I said, it's a case of "Why! Why is this happening? What, you who made this film, possessed you to have this kind of ending?" I suppose others probably enjoyed it -- judging by the reaction of others in the cinema, some certainly did. But personally I didn't like the plot, it was just a little too outrageous (which is certainly saying something, seeing as he's already been after the Arc and the Holy Grail -- which, as I was saying last night, is perhaps why this was the only thing they could do to beat them, this plot in this film. This will seem like rambling if you haven't seen it, but will make more sense if/when you do).

I think directors in america should only be allowed to make something like 7 films then stop - seems the more that they make the more "creative" and "inventive" they get -- and the worse the films get

The wife and I saw Iron Man today. Loved it. So many films lately have been promising so much, but this one actually delivered. Perfectly cast, lovingly directed, a superhero film to equal Batman Begins and X-men I and II. I'll look forward to the inevitable sequels...

I saw El Orfanato last night on dvd. I really enjoyed it, altough it's not really scary like the previews make it out, at least, not in the traditional sense. The cinematography was gorgeous, the mood tense and creepy, and it kept me glued to the screen even when my drink needed refilling. I definitely recommend it.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Decent film nearly ruined by bloody stupid ending.

Just watched Amytiville,the 2005 version. I was expecting it to be rubbish but it was actually sacrier in parts than the original,especially the ending! And the thing is its all based on true events!

[HoopyFrood]

During my sixth form years, I saw many new horror films at the cinema. Most were utter crap, to put it bluntly, but Amityville I saw twice in less than a week; enjoyed it a lot. As you say, very scary in parts.

Saw [Rec], a Spanish horror movie that takes a reality show style shaky cam perspective on a contagious virus spreading through a quarantined apartment building that turns its victims to blood-crazed animals that attack the other human beings. It takes chunks from Romero's Crazies and NoLD and Neil Marshall's The Descent,and is pretty effective and claustrophobically scary in the first third but I thought that the rest of the film suffers somewhat from not having many more ideas and being predictable enough to even estimate in which approximate frame the next zombie pop-up will occur. Not that its ever bad, but I'd give this a 3/5 than an unreserved thumbs up.

Apparently it is to have the mandatory crappy Hollywood remake, called Quarantine.
