What was the last movie you saw?

[ravenus]

Saw Amores Perros, which had some decent moments (I quite liked the first plot about the guy who pits his dog in fights because he wants to elope with his sis-in-law) but at 2 1/2 hours is freaking long for a narrative that in several parts is too predictable and doesn't have the substance to offset its predictability. At maybe an hour less this would have got higher rating from me.

Watched one of the Star Trek Next Gen movies the other night, can't remember the specific title, but it's the one where they chase the Borg back in time.

Anyway, a little observation for one of our members. There is a scene outside the enterprise where Picard, Worf and a disposable ensign are trying to release the comms dish before the Borg do something evil with it. As usual there isn't just a big red button they can hit and its done, its the usual routine of programming a computer and then having to move a big heavy switch. In triplicate, of course. You get the picture? Strangely I noticed that the units referred to when they were programming the computers were called AE35 units. I got to verify it twice, so I'm pretty sure. Obviously a little nod to 2001.

Just saw Kill Bill 1 + 2. I've seen them before but thoughrly enjoyed them again.

Just as a aside i saw the boys and girls who played the main bodyguard element of the crazy 88 at the Edinburgh festival under the name of Chunbarra. Good stuff!

Watched the first half of The Fifth Element last night. Every time I watch this, I watch a little bit more of it, but I'm still yet to see all of it. One day, perhaps (at this rate, it'll take another five viewings until I do...)

Oh excellent film,worth watching! Multi pass!
Sounds like Ryan at work who falls asleep every time he tries to watch Hitch Hikers Guide!

[Tillane]

Yeah. My mum's like that with The Hunt For Red October. I've lost count of the number of times she's fallen asleep halfway through it...

And as a Luc Besson fan, I'd have to say The Fifth Element is well worth watching. I'd watch it for Gary Oldman's performance on its own.

[HoopyFrood]

It's not like I fall to sleep during it (well, OK, last night I stopped watching to move upstairs to bed), I just seem to be unable to watch it all the way through. But as I say, one day I shall! If only to find out what the hell happens.

[Tillane]

Hmm. I'd have thought all the silliness and latter destruction and general mayhem would have appealed to you...

Oh well thats quite understandable with that film Till

Just watched Jet Li's the One, quite a nice piece of nonsense, incredibly violent but inventive with it. Now watching a Beatles pastiche called "The Rutles"

Ah First Contact. Well, such safety procedures are highly sensible, you don't want 3 people going for an evening stroll on the deflector dish and accidentally ejecting it into the final frontier now.

And sleeping through The Hunt for Red October is a stoning offence!

[BookStop]

Got Three Kings from the library. Was really good.

[HardScienceFan]

Yo Bookstop
i liked it
it's a weird movie,with an unexpected message
for me that one got four stars out of five
it starts out uncomplicated,but then...

[BookStop]

Oh, I know what you mean. It had unexpected nuances that entertained the heck out of me.

[HardScienceFan]

personally i think that might be due to the Cloonster.
Interesting hypotheses,innit?
George likes movies with a message,and so do I
