Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Proof Wouldn't say it was a great movie by any stretch, I did however enjoy it and think all the actors put in pretty strong performances.

Rented There will be Blood but not got around to watching it yet.

Huh. The book looked so much more than that. Really can't judge a cover.

Watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Once again, extended, of course.

TRON needs the big screen. It gets a lower rating than the original from most critics. Great frisbee action, tho, and motorcyles.

The Wolfman.
Great cast, good acting, superb SFX, but still a load of old phooey!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw Nadunisi Naaygal aka Midnight Dogs yesterday. This Tamil language Indian serial killer-filler about a sex-obsessed psychotic is stupefyingly prosaic and dull, a hodge-podge of Psycho and Sivappu Rojakkal aka Red Rose (another Tamil language Indian psycho killer movie), both infinitely superior. The characters are so cut-and-dry I don't feel any shock or revulsion whatever nasty thing happens to them and the director seems more concerned about which unlikely ass-crack he can place the camera.

Saw Psycho itself with the commentary track on blu-ray. Movie looks great on the BD format, with awesome contrast and shadow detail - And did you know Bates' jacket is actually pinstriped? The commentary has a lot of interesting anecdotes, like how Perkins was allowed by Hitchcock to bring in a lot of his own suggestions on how to play Bates, the various manipulations he achieved to obfuscate the audience's perceptions of Mother and why he included that shtoopid psychiatrist explanation scene at the end.

Also saw Sympathy for Lady Vengeance by Park Chan Wook (Oldboy), a very good looking and reasonably well made revenge movie, but has a climax and epilogue that go on forever.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Area 51
A bad SyFy movie about, you guessed it, aliens in Area 51. Bruce Boxleitner is a suitably gruff army colonel. The CGI is so-so. Don't waste your time.

Cronos
The 1993 film by Guillermo del Toro, about Jesus Gris, an antiques dealer, who discovers an ancient mechanical device that turns him into a vampire. Mainly in Spanish with English sub-titles, the film also stars Ron Perlman (one of my favourites). I enjoyed it very much and appreciated that del Toro used few of the usual vampire themes. Gris is the most human vampire I've encountered so far in film. The girl who plays his grand-daughter is in some ways scarier than he is. Highly recommended.

Monsterwolf
Another SyFy movie. Not as bad as Area 51, this just about qualifies as a so-bad-it's-ok movie. The CGI wolf was laughable and was much scarier when it could only be heard and not seen.

Breaking and Entering
A drama set in London, starring Jude Law, Robin Wright-Penn and Juliette Binoche. Martin Freeman is also in the cast but is criminally under-used. Law plays an affluent architect who opens new offices in the Charing Cross neighbourhood. The office is burgled (twice) by two young thieves working with a criminal syndicate.

One of the thieves (who has a talent for parkour) is given Law's laptop. (This is a magical laptop because it seemingly has endless battery life.) The burglaries set off a chain of events that culminate in Law becoming deeply involved with the young thief's mother, while still trying to negotiate a complicated home life with his partner (Wright-Penn) and her daughter, who is on the Autism spectrum.

This is not a bad film but neither is it as good as it thinks it is. It makes for rather pleasant and undemanding viewing. I didn't become emotionally invested enough in any of the characters to really care what happened to them.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I finished the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and now I am watching the appendixes and secret clips. I think I enjoy the appendixes just as much as the trilogy, so much detail. I really love it.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Have you seen the Easter egg of Dominic Monaghan winding up Elijah Wood, Arkose? Hilarious.

I agree though, the extras on TLotR DVDs are brilliant.

Last film I saw... I can't actually remember. I saw snippets of Knight's Tale. Does that count? Love Alan Tudyk.

Ooh, actually, the last film I saw was a mini-film called 10 Things I Hate About Camping. Funny.
