| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Salt - suprisingly it was pretty good not Bourne,Taken level but still. The story was a bit generic too big scope but the main actors fit their roles very well and the action was enjoyable straight to point,not too flashy like Bourne movies. I dont like Angelina Jolie but she impressed me in this movie and i look forward to the sequel. The music was pretty cool, i actually thought many times i wanted some of the songs. Specially the one screaming Salt ! |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Hehe, technically they just took the 1st movies screenplay and added more crap to it especially screaming ex-agents and friends. I thought it was terrible as well. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? I've just watched The Terminal where Tom Hanks plays the leading role. That's a great movie. Getting into the difficult situation he didn't start to despond, he found friends, he found a job ( besides no one job ). He wasn't holding a grudge against the boss of security department. People, his friends, followed him for his kindness and perpetual positive attitude. even though this movie is drama I woldn't call it in this way. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Cloverfield. Let's see.......... that would be The Blair Witch Project (1999) meets "9-11" meets It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955) . Okay, it was moderately scary. But the message being delivered via the medium got a little tedious after a while. |

| Luna tick  | Re: What was the last movie you saw? The 'His dark materials' books are actually quite good, for childish fantasy. I enjoyed the three novels, I especially liked the last one and the scene with the *spoiler* Death of God *spoiler* but the movie was, as it almost always the case a highly distilled version of the book. Some of the main points were kept quite well, but it got caught up in being a fantsy epic instead of a good story. I heard that they are having problems turning the following two books into films in hollywood because of the anti-religous slant that they have and the well known chrisitan influence in Hollywood. I read somewhere that Hollywood is changing the books so much that Phillip Pullman (the author) has stopped the films being made. On that note. I watched Percy Jackson and the lightening Thief last night, and although it was cheesier than a Domino's pizza it had some good moments and Greek mythology is always good for a story. the lead actor (some young lad) was terrible and was so bad at portraying any kind of emotion that I couldn't really emphasise with his character. The casting of Steve Coogan for Hades was also pretty bizarre, as he doesn't really have the evil edge to him, well that and I will always think of him as Alan Partridge. An enjoyable family romp of a film, but no substance and mostly filled up with special effects. I think there are more books to the series, but I don't know. Actually just looked them up there are 5 books (i think) called PJ and the lightening theif PJ and the sea of monsters PJ and the titan's curse PJ and the battle of the labyrinth PJ and the last olympian So looks like we might have four more cheesy films with an awful lead actor. There were also some terrible plot holes in the film, like the cow that flips the car (somehow) and the fact that three 16yr olds (or at least PJ is only about 16) can get into a casino in Vagas and gamble!!!! I didn't like the pronunciation of Minotaur, I have always said it as Mine-Oh-Tour, but they said it as Min-a-Tar! |

Plus, I'm one of those guys that can really act braindead at a film that has all these shiny things moving around and punching each other. If it's fun to watch, I enjoy it. And on the other spectrum, I've watched 'Kingdom of Heaven', the Director's Cut yesterday. I must say that when I've watched this back in 2005 I was a little bored halfway through. It wasn't bad then, I was just too young to appreciate it. But now, the Director's cut really impressed me. I may not remember the film well from when I first watched it, but this was totally different. A nice historic based epic film, with a great cast of characters and fantastic performance all around from the actors. I really enjoyed the story, and it had a lot more emotion than 'Gladiator' (another of Ridley Scott's greatest films) and a lot more of the human element. It's insane to see just how different these Director Cuts can be at times. | |
