Re: What was the last movie you saw?

From Hell IT Came (1957)

A member of a Polynesian tribe is wrongfully accused and put to death, but his vengence returns in the form of an unstoppable murderous tree monster.

I just watched this hard to find, cult classic B-movie and I still enjoyed seeing it again. This was one of my favorite creature films I remember watching as a kid.

The Giant Spider Invasion (1977)

Spiders from a black hole arrive on Earth, grow to the size of a house and eat people.

Unintentionally hilarious monster B-movie, made even funnier with snappy comments made by the crew of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Filmed in Wisconsin and a very cool movie poster, attracted me to see this creature flick at the drive-in long ago. I love it

Iron Sky Black comedy about Nazis on the moon. Looks great and sounds great (lots of Wagner in snatches of Gotterdammerung and Tannhauser remixes). Unfortunately the jokes become a bit cack-handed halfway through and have run out of steam long before the end of the movie.

My advice is that waching this is still better than a kick in the teeth so buy it on DVD but only at a budget price.

A.I. Should have been good. Maybe a more robotic kid and half an hour shaved off would have helped. Jude Law was good.

Men in Black 3. It was excellent, i think it tops the first one and destroys the second one. Great FX and the characters were quirky as usual if not better. Josh Brolin plays K exactly like Tommy Lee Jones does. I hope they make an MIB 4

Madagascar 3 this was great, it is definitely my favorite of the three and I think they do a good job of attempting to bring the story around to a close...

Rodders - I tend to give those chick flicks a miss, the wife loves them but they are all the same especially when the typecast actor like Catherine Heigl plays in them, or even Jennifer Aniston.

Well, neither Heigl nor Aniston were in this one (I agree about Aniston, btw, but Heigl was fine in One For The Money). However, I thought it was pretty entertaining because of Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy. Entirely different types of flick chicks.

Girlfriend dragged me along to Snowwhite and the Huntsman, rated it 6/10 mediocre at best imo. She loved it mind!

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Bridemaids is a totally different chick flick to the sort that have been around for some time. It is a sort of gross out/embarassment comedy but written by and starring women. It made me laugh in several places, I would suggest you give it a try.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

I agree on Bridesmaids; it's a cut above the rest.

I saw Prometheus last night (see dedicated thread). Stunning in its visual appeal, and also in its stupidity.

Stake Land

A low buget vampire horror film, a post apocalyptic vampire film. Sort of Mad Max meets I Am Legend. It was surprisingly good,interesting world and actually creepy. I liked the hunter characters. These kind of films usually suck and you have to forgive anything to enjoy them but this was actual a good film. More like a good SF/Horror vampire book.

Heh i saw it with my cousine who has a dreambox that takes in mostly brit channels so we saw the film in some Sky movie channel.

Im sucker for good vampire horror films because they are so rare. They feel more literary, like reading a good vampire novel i mean the classic ones, the dark ones and not the fantasy hero ones.
