What was the last movie you saw?

[DeepThought]

Watched these last week:

Iron Man - Not what I hoped it would be but what I thought it would be...

Dark Floors - Boring. Apparently antagonists in this movie were members of a Finnish heavy metal band...

Shutter - Very much like The Grudge though with enough twists and turns to stump anyone familiar with the cookie-cutter-structure/template of such movies.

There Will Be Blood - Religion, Politics and Oil; what better ingredients to cook up a nasty explosive plot and some phenomenal acting to boot. Really enjoyed this one.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Shows the back story of the gruesome but shadowy characters of the first movie; Leather face (guy with the chainsaw), the "Sheriff" etc. sadistic, perverted, depressing and of course graphic but fortunately does not go overboard...Not the kind of movie I usually watch but it ain't that bad.

Cheers, DeepThought

Watched Jumper over the weekend. I was not overly impressed.

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane

That girl is hottttttt!

Heard nothing but bad comments from people I know who watched the film. But as a fan and not a total critic of films I said "I'll find that out for myself".

Watched it and I was decently impressed. Not the greatest film but no where near as bad as what my friends were making out.

The tv is finally doing something right for once! Two of my favourite films are on tonight. First, about to start shortly, is The Grudge. And a little later, From Dusk Till Dawn (a favourite childhood film....what? Surely you've come to expect this from me now? )

Yes I have to agree Lady, I thought this would be good and I was actually quite disappointed and what a waster of Samuel L Jackson's acting ability!

I would almost say this was my favorite movie. almost!!!! Its just brilliant and Daniel Day Lewis should make more than the odd movie every once in a few years, he is just sooooo talented.

You mean, used to you coming out with statements that make me feel old? Yes.

A friend lent me The Machine Girl yesterday, a very wierd, very over-the-top Japanese schlock horror film that owes a debt of gratitude to Planet Terror. Except it's far gorier.

Watched The Cleaner. Fairly predictable (figured it out by halfway), but presented well enough that I enjoyed watching it.

Ah, Till, what's ten years between friends?

Black Hole. Much better in a lot of ways than I feared, and a quite interesting take on the human condition. The FX hold up pretty well too.

Generally speaking, it's a decade.

Specifically speaking, it's the entirety of my 20s.

I saw it a couple of days ago. Thought it was even worse than i expected. It was alittle dump, not even one normal,quiet scene. It was almost 90 minutes action scene after another.

Only thing i thought was interesting was the british jumper.

[Tansy]

ah the kid out of Billy Elliot and King Kong.. Jamie Bell is it?

Bf wants to watch Jumper - might have to dissuade him

[Talysia]

Watched Final Fantasy: Advent Children last night, and really enjoyed it. Mind you, I am a little biased, though.

I saw last night on tv a really good and very dark Film Noir calledDetour (1945)

It was very dark and how things only went bad for the main character and his bad luck. Alot of inner dialouge made it clear it was a novel before.


New York nightclub pianist Al Roberts hitchhikes to Hollywood to join his girl Sue. On a rainy night, the sleazy gambler he's riding with mysteriously dies; afraid of the police, Roberts takes the man's identity. But thanks to a blackmailing dame, Roberts' every move plunges him deeper into trouble.
