A very young Jenny Agutter. This was one of the first of the wave of Aussie films to hit the international circuit. In the same mold as Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock. Both excellent.

Saving Private Ryan was on the tv this weekend, so I ended up watching it. It's been quite awhile since I've seen it, but still a good movie.

Yea she was 16 when they were filming,(18/19 when it was released) thus allowing the director to exploit her coming of age for the nude scenes,which she objected too when she saw the film later.

Ahhhh Jenny Agutter. One of my first crushes after seeing Logans run for the first time.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Watched Quantum of Solace on Sat. It was good but wasn't as good as the previous one IMO. The action was good but a bit hard to follow in places. I do like the no-nonsense, direct action Bond that Craig plays, but this one felt a bit too heavy on the action.
3 out of 5.

Also the constant scooter references were beyond me?

Watched Kill Bill Vol.1 this evening. Love the Kill Bills.

Quentin Tarantino, I would sell my soul to have your job...

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

The Matrix: Reloaded... again. I'd forgotten how much of a come down from the original this was.

The lowlight had to be the Pagan Goat Dance (see Dragnet). That was funny and embarassing... we're about to be annihilated, so let's have a rave, no under 40s allowed.

Other nonsense was the philosophical nonsense; and perhaps worse of all the sudden emergence and irritating following of secondary characters, all in all an elevator to tedium.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

My husband and I watched Watchmen last night, and I have to say I wasn't impressed. I really just didn't enjoy it. I have never read the comic, so perhaps I would have liked it more if I did.

Watched Mrs. Brown. A 12 year old film about Queen Victoria. Well acted and well presented. For those who've never heard of it:

Mrs Brown (1997)

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Mrs. Brown is a fantastic film! Dame Judy was great, as usual, but Billy Connolly's performance was absolutely amazing.

I'll always wonder if Brown knew my great-grandfather, as he was a coachman at Balmoral during Queen Victoria's reign.
