| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Took the kids to see Cats and Dogs 2:The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Fabulous, very well done, great for kids and adults. The opening sequence is done in a James Bond film style with Shirley Bassey singing a Pink song-great stuff! And I want a GSD even more now! |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? The Ghost Writer, finally got the DVD from the rental! I can't believe the media gave this excellent political thriller such a low key treatment, is it because of Polansiky's case or something more? The film received a Silver Bear in Berlin IFlm Festival in Feb. but premiered quite late in the US and UK. Compare to the book The Ghost by Robert Harris which I'd recommend to anyone, the film is quite faithful to the main storyline, some dialogs are word by word. A few changes are well done especially the end. The cast is great, I can't think any better choices for the main characters. Ewan McGregor's leading role played flawless. The tension, atmosphere and music are all very Polanski. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? "Clash of the Titans", enjoyed it quite a bit. much better than the original with Harry Hamlin, although i am a big fan of Ray Harryhausen. Good to see the owl from the original do a cameo. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Salt. Saw it last night. Not exactly Science Fiction I know, but it could have been in regards to some of the action sequences (i.e. our heroine might actually have been a space alien--at least that's the only way I could have bought some of the circumstances she survived without a scratch). This movie included just about everything that I hate about action movies starting with the indestructible hero. Seriously, after thirty minutes of the film you realize an army could not put a scratch on this woman. No suspense whatsoever in that regard. She jumps from one moving truck top to another and never so much as twists an ankle. I like action flicks, but this was a cartoon. |

| The Wicked Sword Maiden  | Re: What was the last movie you saw? The Golden Compass   Oh I know it's a childrens film but I was recovering at the time and anything would have done!I was very disappointed with Kidman's acting. Certainly didn't portray an evil woman very well. Was quite happy with the story line though. |

| Keep Moving Forward!  | Re: What was the last movie you saw? Have you read the book, Rosemary? I was really disappointed with the film, I expected a lot more. I did like Sam Elliott as Lee Scorseby, but I thought Ian McKellen was miscast as Iorek. Kidman, well, she hasn't really impressed me for a loooong time. |

| The Wicked Sword Maiden | Re: What was the last movie you saw? No I haven't read the book, Cul. No doubt I will enjoy it more, as I usually read the book first for that reason. Yes, I must admit I liked Sam Elliott's acting in it. Some of the animation wasn't too bad either. |

Blog Entries: 3 | Re: What was the last movie you saw? I saw that a few years back, Ace. I wasn't paying much attention and didn't rate it too highly in the end, but there were some brilliant bits - "I'm so rone-ry" and "MATT DAY-MON" spring to mind. Indeed, I can't hear Matt Damon's name without repeating "MATT DAY-MON".  --- Splice. The trailers make it out to be a terrifying horror, but in fact it's more of a look at the moral implications of playing God with human DNA. The long and short of it: two scientists splice human DNA with animal DNA, creating a chimera. Not a brilliantly ground-breaking film, but it's decent, if a little freakeh (you know, the freaky kind of freaky) in parts. |

Blog Entries: 3 | Re: What was the last movie you saw? And I've just finished Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. Not as confusing as the first GitS film, but I can't work out if that's because I've seen the first series, or if it's just less... confusing. Either way, I didn't really enjoy it. The art style really put me off and the story could easily have been done in a stand alone episode in one of the series. At least the voice actors were the same as those in the first series. |
