What was the last movie you saw?

The Expendables! Mindless, mindless, mindless.....but I still loved it.

[Rodders]

I watched Pandorum last night. A bit dark, but a very enjoyable film IMO. Great ending.

U-571. Very good movie, I preferred it to Hunt for Red October

[Happy Joe]

Robin Hood; more of a drama than an action flick.
Since I was expecting more action I didn't like it all that much on first viewing (although it wasn't terrible)... I'll give it another chance when I'm in the mood for something a bit dramatic.

I hate historical anachronisms; the pheasant is an oriental bird introduced into Europe and the Americas as a game bird (you have to be watching, near the beginning, to see it).

Enjoy!

Ok, I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine last night. I was not a fan. I like stupid humor, but this was just beyond stupid!

Okay, not particularly well-versed in Russian films, but 2002's Russian Ark was more than interesting.

Without going into too much detail it's set in St. Petersburg's Winter palace/Hermitage museum and uses various rooms and themes to represent different ages, epochs and rulers throughout Russian history (no doubt with a host of involved symbolism that I'd like to throw at a certain bear ). Suffice to say, it's more than a touch surrealistic, but the sequence of endless grand rooms and crowds is more than impressive.

That said, basically nothing happens in this film that could be filed under conventional drama. I don't imagine it would be to everyone's tastes - or really, anyone's for that matter.

Except mine apparently. I like uniqueness in films and this is unique. Ergo, I like.

Oh, and the entire film is a one-shot.

I found La jetée at my local video chain store and watched it as a curiosity. This was the film that inspired Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. It is mostly a photo montage with a voice over. Interesting.

Death at a Funeral, remake, tho I can't remember the original! Very funny film!

[FireDragon-16]

Resident Evil: Apocolypse. Pretty good, but I thought they were trying to end the series...this just sets it up for another movie. Not that I'm complaining!

[Rosemary]

Serenity: to be honest I thought it was rubbish. Apart from the character, River, the acting was terriblel.

[BookStop]

Not a fan of Firefly Rosie?

[Rosemary]

No, I'm afraid not, BookStop. I watched the first 15 minutes before giving it away. Just not my sort of film I'm afraid.

I love Firefly and Serenity! They seem to be a bit polarising though; I think Joss Whedon is like that in general. I can't help but automatically love anything he does though.

Just saw Easy A. While I laughed in parts it wasn't as funny as I expected, but I still really enjoyed it. Emma Stone is quickly becoming one of my favs.

Even The Tudyk?! I'm afraid The Tudyk and terrible acting don't go together, Rosemary.

I love Serenity. And Firefly. And Alan Tudyk. And I love that his surname is Tudyk.

Same.

On topic, I actually can't remember what the last film I saw was. Probably Scott Pilgrim.

I think she meant the tv series, not the movie.

In any event, Serenity is easily my fav movie. I loved the tv series and while the movie is in some ways very different from the show, it was everything I could've hoped for and more. In a sense, it's the movie the Star Wars prequels should have been. That said, if you didn't care for the show or have never seen the show, I can't imagine the movie being all that engaging.

Last movie I saw was Fantastic Mr Fox, which I watched the other night. Pretty entertaining really. Not as funny as Royal Tenenbaums or his other movies, but the animation really helped him move forward a bit I think.
