What was the last movie you saw?

[HoopyFrood]

Watching A Bug's Life at the moment.

Watched Predator last night, havn't se this movie in ages but I was wacthing it with my son and partener and they seemed to know the movie word for word, all the one liners

'COMMON KILL ME"

"IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT"

" THEY GOT YOU PUSHING TO MANY PENCILS AT THE CIA"

I don't think I have laughed so much even watching a comedy.

Watching 'Cape Fear' on TV. Haven't seen it for years.

Last film I saw that I loved was 'Pans Labyrinth'. Great tale. I love a fantasy adventure with a good story is set just within or out of living memory- makes it keep it magical.

Saw "Zathura - A Space Adventure" which reminded me of Jumanji. Also took me back to other films of the same feeling when I was that age. Liked it.

Last film I saw recently I hated was 'In the name of the King' - how bad is that? I missed that it was a Dungeon Siege tale until it was too late. Thats what you get for watching a trailer of the good bits cut quickly to make it look better than it was.

Im tempted by the genre, but should had listened to my instincts when I found out the cast. Burt Reynolds as a king and Jason Statham as a farmer who happens to farm with a sword strapped around him at all times. John Rhys-Davies was the best actor in it, but he couldn't save it. I like Reynolds and Liotta in their more familair roles, but not in this. Matthew Lillard was awful as the King's nephew.

If I ever make a film, I'll make a point to check the credits - to know who not to hire for casting...and screenplay. It bugs me when period films have 21st century slang words or phrases....I better stop or I'll rant for ages.

Ghost Town looks good though, might make the trip to the cinema for that and always tempted to go see James Bond.

2010, again - finally replaced my VHS with a used DVD. This doesn't seem to be a highly esteemed movie, but competing with 2001 is a tough job. I love it myself.

Talysia mentioned Independence Day. Wil Smith just had a little spaceship. Regarding the Monolith, I'd say I got to get me some of these!

I thought the technology took a jump backwards in that film.
Keyboard !!!!
In 2001 the crew just talked to HAL.

Be Kind Rewind, which was surprisingly pleasant. The critics here panned it, but it was okay for a friday night dvd.

[HoopyFrood]

Ah, forgot...watched Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark t'other night.

[Overread]

how could you forget that?
carrots eating your mind away?

and only film seen recently from me is only a semi film - Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society

[Wybren]

Pineapple Express, It was a great laugh! I recommend it if you enjoy movies in the Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar kind of style.

[Foxbat]

Grand Prix starring James Garner, Yves Montand and Eva Marie Saint.

An oldie but a goodie

I was thinking they only did that prior to HAL's voice recognition being re-jiggered, but I may not have noticed all of it. I did notice the monochrome text mode-looking display when Floyd was checking Discovery's orbital decay before the mission, though. And, naturally, the giant "chip closet" of HAL's doesn't look like what you'd figure a third-millenium computer would look like, but that was a necessary holdover from 1968/2001.

I watched Galaxy Quest the other night and found it quite enjoyable.

and it works on so many levels with jokes about SF conventions and the casts and writers of SF shows.

[ravenus]

Saw Samurai I - Musashi Miyamoto, the first in a trilogy of films about a character who goes from being a wild fighter to a disciplined Samurai. A little on the melodramatic side, but still good with a powerful lead presence from Toshiro Mifune, the star of so many Kurosawa films before they fell out of each other.

[Wybren]

I loved Galaxy quest, I saw it when it came out at the cinemas years and years ago, and I still would watch it today over many other movies.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Was pretty good. I am a big fan of Indy films. The storyline wasn't as good as the previous three but still enjoyable. The only character that really bugged me was the one played by Ray Winstone (Mac).

Ironman: Hands-down one of the best superhero movies ever. Not overdone but not underdone either. Robert Downey Jr. was prefectly cast for this role. "Truth is...I am Ironman!" Just awesome!. Remember to keep watching until after the credits for a surprise.
