What was the last movie you saw?

[Wybren]

I saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" and I really enjoyed it. Was going to see Batman last week but was really ill and couldn't go.

I think Pulp Fiction is by far Tarrantino's best film, Though I did enjoy the Kill Bill movies, True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn. I have yet to see Resevior Dogs, even though I have it on DVD and I thought Jackie Brown was average.

I entirely second what jezelf says. I liked RD, PF and JB but his latter day films have an undesirable quotient of "Look at me the (obnoxious) film geek who has seen so many obscure/cult movies and am referencing them".

Took the kids to see Wall E today,what a cracking film,great on so many levels. Katie fell asleep on my lap half way thru. Will definitely buy it on DVD when it comes out.
Oh look out for Ice Age 3 next summer!

It's those kinds of things that impress me (I like the technical bits of films).

My fave is True Romance but Pulp and Dogs are close seconds

Jackie Brown is good, From Dusk till Dawn is wonderful in schitzophrenic way(a Tarantino/lost boys/a-team hybrid, Deathproof was fun, enjoyed the kill bills, don't actually think there is one of his I haven'[t enjoyed on some level

Just watched Poltergeist on DVD,a classic,even tho there's a bad edit part way thru with about 30 seconds missing in this 25th anniversary edition.

I do like Tarintino, Kill Bill is a good film but I think Pulp Fiction is his best. The dialouges in Pulp Fiction are a bit more diverse, I do agree that a lot of his work could be taken as him ranting, but I love the style and execution of his work. He does pastiche (Kill Bill) so well. Though I couldnt sit thorough Resevior Dogs, which I still find odd as I like all the other films I've seen he's done. Not sure if it was the swearing or the violence or a mixture of the two.

Watched Sleuth with Michael Caine and Jude Law. It was just ok for me.

[Wybren]

Watching Alvin and the Chipmunks at the moment.

[Hilarious Joke]

Watched Wanted today.

I really enjoyed it.

[Happy Joe]

Watched "Legend" ultimate edition director's cut last night ... Boring, the fast forward button got a real workout. It may not be the worst movie ever made but it certainly deserves honorable mention as a contender (I don't remember the theater version as being this bad).

Enjoy!

Finally saw The Dark Knight last night. Waited a couple days after the premiere to wait for family and friends.


It was sick, it was so much better than i expected despite the hype. I kept thinking before hand that Nolan couldnt make an awesome Batman movie to someone who wanted Batman translated well to movie.

Its hard to believe to that the people behind Begins and who IMO ruined Falcone,Ras and other batman villians got Dent,Two-face,Joker,Maroni and co almost perfect.


One of few movies i have ever had the urge to see more than once in theatre.

Ledger was awesome. He was perfect as sick part of Joker but what impressed me most what when he made laugh and smile cause he was funny to in some parts too. They focused too much on the sick Joker but it was nice seeing he could be funny too.

How he looked when he walked out the hospital and blew the hospital again. Plus at the end when he was talking upside down to Bats and truly laughed like the Joker.

Only thing that wasnt so hot was sometimes they went too far with the talk about heroes,shining in armour. Things that was made you cringe of hollywood cheese. That isnt anything at all compared 2,30 awesome movie.

I liked how Batman was done too, the bike was typical superhero fun stuff. Totaly Batman coolness when he took down the Joker truck with the lines.

The fact that he became outlaw and he had to take down Swat and look even more like an outlaw was awesome. The tragic,dark ending was surpsingly fresh. Its totaly right that Batman doesnt end to happy. Its not Superman or spidey.


Speaking about Rachel im glad she is dead maybe im a Batman purist but i thought it was pointless to make up a love interest for him. Bruce isnt Clark/Supes he doesnt need a Lois. Specially not one that is made up when there are many others from the comic like Catwoman.


I dont care if Nolan does a Batman 3 or not it must be done with the same actors minus Ledger of course ,it will still be awesome if its done in similar vein. More Batman this time though. Hoping for Two Face too.

Saw Peeping Tom, which is one of the most genuinely intense and creepy psycho/stalker films I've seen. Preceded Hitchcock's Psycho by a few months and IMO betters it in the amount of discomfort the lead character raises.

[Talysia]

I saw Spiderman 3 last night. Not my favourite of the three, but not bad, either.

I watched Dark Knight last night and although I loved the film, I felt that much of the violence was heavily cut to accomadate the 12A rating. The film could have been much better if it was released at a 15 or even an 18 rating. I just think it's a shame that some of the film was cut just to sell more tickets and to be honest if my daughter was 12 i doubt i'd alow her to watch a film that so dark in places, Ledger was awesome and frightening.
I hope there'll be a directors cut version when comes out on DVD.

The last film I watched was Next with Nicholas Cage. Thought it was a good film, too.
