We saw The Avengers on Friday. Took forever to find a show that wasn't sold out...we ended up getting tickets for a 9 pm show, but it was worth it!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

A bit passe now with everybody watching The Avengers, but Invictus. I expected to be cynical but I got a chill down my spine at the end. Even the rugby scenes were pretty authentic. Freeman was, as ever, tremendous.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Just saw 'safe' with Jason Statham. The kill count is higher than usual, and there were real attempts to give the character some depth, but I'm getting really fed up with the shaking camera which (supposedly) enhances action scenes. The girl steals the film, and I'm sure he's left one bad guy alive for a sequel...

Save the Green Planet.

Arguably a slightly cumbersome mix of really good humour and more than a tinge of darkness in this S. Korean film, but it's only the second time I've seen it and I enjoyed it even more this time round.

Avengers [HATES adding this bit] Assemble

Simply the greatest super hero MOVIE of all time (for super hero FILM I still have to favour X-Men 1 or First Class though.)

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I saw Life of Brian for the first time, it was fun,good intro song and i like the satire about things like the different parties. I would rate it 8/10, very good and fun but not the best i have by Cleese and co. Mostly i have seen only few eps of the show and Fawlty Towers. Im not old fan of theirs.

I also saw Moon, the 2009 SF which i thought was smart,emotional and showed me how much you can storywise with so little. Not many characters, different scenes but good SF thriller story. This is the kind down to earth,smart SF i want to see more today. Sam Rockwell, Spacey did really good job.

I hope to see more films like Moon from the director and less american generic SF like Source Code.....

Did you notice that "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" as sung by Eric Idle while being crucified is the same tune that Jack Nicholson plays on the piano in As Good As It Gets?

Mario Bava's (1968) Danger: Diabolik - one of the best scores Morricone wrote. And the sexy as hell Marisa Mell never looked better too. Love it.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2012)

I was curious about this film. Later I discovered that the movie is a remake. But...yikes! It was an intense, shocking, dark film, and definately not for everyone. I like these weird crime solving films. Now I must see the original.

Planet Hulk (2010)

Great animated feature with the incredible HULK. It reminded me of a few of his comic tales from the past where Hulk would be else where other then Earth battling in gladiator-styled fights to the death. Another fantastic adventure for the green superhero.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

CLOVIS - That's not the wierdest cross-film musical link... The song Mark Whallberg is singing in the recording studio in Boogie Nights is the same song from the original animated Transformers film when Optimus Prime arrives to save the day... SO wish I hadn't lost the CD soundtrack to that I had when I was a kid

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I finally watched Tron: Legacy and was pretty blown away by the special effects. I also loved that they had a younger Flynn, it was sort of creepy in a cool way. Daft Punk did an amazing job with the music. That's what I was most excited about. I loved the scenes where Flynn's son first gets into the grid. It is truly a film unlike any other, despite it's often uninspired script and bland character development.

Firelight (1997). Not new, no starships or elves, no obvious special effects, but an awesome production.
