What was the last movie you saw?

[Hilarious Joke]

Go and buy Into The Wild for five bucks. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I second that.

I watched Stephen Kings dreamcatcher last night, my parents have it on VHS (I know they live in a time warp) and it caught my eye, so when it was shown on TV, I watched it. I wasn't very impressed to be honest.

I thought Dreamcatcher was one of the better SK books to movies version second to the green mile

[Oskari]

IMO, the best SK book to movie was Stand By Me (or have I got the writer wrong?)

Just to add weight to my opinion.

Stephen King indicated, on the special features of the 25th anniversary Blu-ray set, that this is the first successful translation to film of any of his works.

Stand By Me was King, yes. Novella.

Dreamcatcher always confused the hell out of me at the end, maybe the film would help.

I turned on the telly earlier, had my back to it and heard some music and thought, "Huh, sounds like Edward Scissorhands". Turned around and sure enough, it was.

Nothing wrong with VHS. Second hand tapes are so cheap these days I can afford to watch all sorts of stuff I never got round to seeing - for pennies. Sometimes I find things that have never been (and probably never will be) released on DVD. Most of them godawful ***** that defies watching in any format but, as I like godawful ***** that defies watching, this is hardly a hardship.

We have a VHS player in our house. Actually we have two. One was given to us, the other we actually went out to buy. We gained a few vuss tapes from friends and we often buy others from charity shops for about 25p -- entertaining, old films that we can just stick on when we want to watch something. We have an entire standing bookshelf of them now.

Well, with things reaching 110°F today, and the air conditioning in the front part of my house having gone kaput... it was just too bloody hot to do much of anything save ask for somebody to baste me now and again.... So, following AE's comments on Matheson's novel, as I had pulled out the film The Legend of Hell House for a rewatch, I spent some of this afternoon doing that, in the one truly cool room I have at the moment....

Once Upon A Time In The West

It's still genius.

Green Zone with Matt Damon and have to say it was very gripping. Much better than the Hurt Locker, better story and high octane action.

Stealth was on again the other day. This has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I have to say that it's a better movie than people give it credit for.

Watched "Priest" on DVD last night and enjoyed it. The train reminded me of Rodney Matthews' work, though admittedly his train is somewhat more massive! http://www.rodneymatthews.com/hmhero.htm Maybe that's just because so much of my head is in the 70s haha!

Just been thinking, how can this thread be relevant when there's so little time to do anything else but click, refresh, on my browser every other minute on this forum. :P

Celll phone while on the couch for the win! Movies AND keeping up with events and news in the Chron Realm. Gotta love tech!

EDIT this also applies when in clothes stores while wife and son look for school shorts for him, like just now for instance. Never be away from Chrons again!

Got round to watching Red Riding Hood last night, was really disappointed to be honest, was expecting something in the way of Company of Wolves but was a little too Twilight for my liking. Shame though becuase he set desig and general atmosphere was spot on...
