Re: Paranormal Activity 2 - apologies . Obviously my expectations were sub-zero going into it, so that may have helped a little, but as sequels/prequels go I'd stand by it.

Just seen V for Vendetta, which I liked despite hearing mixed opinions. Still, there's always something heartwarming about seeing the Houses of Parliament blow up!

Would like to check out the graphic novel, which I daresay is likely to be better (and probably darker).

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Sanctum 3D. While being a half decent adventure film, was held back by unlikeable characters, woeful acting and atrocious over use of Aussie accents and vernacular. This was the second 3D film I have seen, and it was just too much 3D for my liking. Tron, being the other 3D movie that I have seen, was more an accentuation of the film rather than the gimmickery of Sanctum.

I'm still not watching Paranormal Activity 2. And the V for Vendetta graphic novel was excellent, probably why they made the flick. Too bad about Judge Dredd.

Rear Window - I hate to be negative but if Hitchcock made a worse film, I haven't seen it.

Marmaduke. Good for a laugh even if I find the american treatment of such dogs very disagreeable!

Watched Batman Begins last night. Mmm, Cillian Murphy. Seems to get more attractive the sketchier he got. I have issues, according to my housemates.

I really liked the film too but yes, the graphic novel is better.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

The V for Vendetta film is a Pee-of-Ess in comparison to the comic book. The characters in the film appear to be leading very cushy lives watching their nice Sony flat-screen televisions all the time, and you really wonder if boring programming was cause enough to go about wearing masks of revolt

I saw a few old favorites I recent acquired on blu-ray:
Kagemusha
Enter The Dragon

and a few episodes of the BBC series Life.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I find it a little weird that people think Guy Fawkes masks are V masks. A reference to a reference, like singing along to that wretched Kid Rock song about singing along to Sweet Home Alabama. Brr. The 21st century, who needs it.

Salt. Pretty good action film even though you could pretty well figure out what was going on and who the bad guys were from the beginning.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

El Cid I've always found the man intriguing and having really enjoey Ben Hur some years ago I was looking forward to this. Whilst undeniably epic, with some gorgeous on location scenes the film itself sent me to sleep.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Watched the Bruce Lee docu, A Warrior's Journey, and frankly all the "found" footage for his abruptly cut short magnum opus Game of Death only adds up to a very boring movie with a stupid plot and incredibly crappy not-even-lulz-worthy dialog. Terrific Nun-Chaku duel scene with Dan Inosanto, though.

Just watched RED, hugely entertaining... a comic adaptation apparentlly. Karl Urban (Star Trek's Bones) played a CI A op. and I couldn't help thinking he'd make a James Bond!
