If Hollywood chose to remake it, I'd hope they'd hire M. Night Shaymalongadingdong to direct!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Saw Super 8 a couple of weeks ago.

Decent film, but one that was pretty anti-climactic. In fact, the movie sort of started going downhill after the alien kidnapped the girl.

And speaking of which, when will Hollywood get tired of shoving pre-pubescent puppy love down our throats? Am I supposed to be touched or impressed by the 'love story' between the kids? At least when it's adults, we can pretend that they "lived happily ever after"; am I supposed to kid myself into believing that these two even made it through high school?

Note to Hollywood: enough with 13-year-old lovebirds who risk their lives for each other. We're not buying it.

6.5/10

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Dead Man's Shoes from 2004 by the english director famous for the film This Is England. This film is better than the more famous one of his. It was one of most real,brutal revenge stories i have seen. Hard to watch emotionally because you know people are to terrible to weaker people all the time. A calm film that was so toned down it became much more.

Knocked Up. On telly so missed the first part. I usually don't find these sorts of films funny, but this one had me giggling. Plus Alan Tudyk automatically makes any film awesome.

That does seem to be on tv a lot of late. Watched most of it the other night and noticed, for the first time, "Omguh! It's Wash!"

It put a grin on my face as soon as I saw him!

Oh Thanks! I didn't need to know that. Are there guidelines for spoilers on this thread / forum?

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Whoops! My bad. That was stupid of me. I can't even edit it out, anymore...

Sorry about that.


(Although in my defense, it doesn't ruin the movie. You could tell that would happen after 17 minutes and 34 seconds into the movie.)

You should see him in Transformers 3, a brilliant character and the best film out of the trilogy. Even Patrick Dempsey plays a role he is not used aka the romantic comedy.

Hanna


A really smart take on spy/action thriller that is the best i have seen in the genre in years along with Bourne Ultimatum. The young Irish actress Saoirse Ronan was surprisingly good in her role, Chemical Brothers music in the action scenes was just awesome.
