What was the last movie you watched? Either at home or at a theatre. And rate it!

Give it a thumbs up or down, more indicates bettter

:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

Or

:thumbsdn: :thumbsdn: :thumbsdn:

Or :dunno: For neither good not bad

Or :lmao: For really funny one!

I'll start it off with:

Legends of the fall. (Hopkins/Pitt) :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

I was surprised that it was that good.

"Walk the Line".
Good stuff.

As for "Legends of the Fall," my then GF and I saw it in the theater and i think we left early because we were laughing at all of the scenery chewing. The Anthony Hopkins stroke bit was too histrionic for both of us.
"A River Runs Through It" is an excellent filum, though

I vaguely recall, way back when, one of my then-wife's friends giving her a copy of Legends because of Brad Armpit being the hot rage at the time. After about 20 minutes, I was sitting there babbling WTF over and over. I think the wife lasted about 10 minutes longer before she came to the same conclusion. The only distinct memory I have left is trying to figure out why the movie makers expected me to believe that any turn-of-the-century man walked around with shoulder length hair like Boy Brad.

Black Dahlia.

I screamed.

Not because I was scared.

But because the movie sucked.

I was suprised- and really disappointed- being interested in the Black Dahlia murder, one would expect a movie called the Black Dahlia would primarily deal with that- but no, in this movie, the focus is on a pair of boxers that become cops, Josh Hartnett loving, then hating, then loving, then hating, ect Scarlett Johansen and Hillary Swank, and a small iota of the Black Dahlia murder to tie in this somewhat distantly related story to the murder of elisabeth Short.

My vote?

Last night I saw "Ghost Rider".
I read that this movie cost almost $100 million to make.Couldnt tell by the special effects,the quality of direction,or the quality of acting,or the script,or....well,you get my drift.This is B-grade comic book filmaking,on a par with the Punisher,and I dont mean that in a good way.I was really disapointed with the acting,since they had quite a good cast.Now I know why this film wasnt prescreened for critics.Not horrible,but definetly not a first class film.Your kids might like it,as long as ghosts and such dont scare them.
Guess I gotta wait for 300,and for Spiderman 3.

Breakfast at Tiffany's. :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

Saw The Departed a couple nights ago at home with my wife. The cast was Nicholson, DeCaprio, and Damon. Anything with Jack is good with me.

The movie was full of deception about a police department trying to bust a mobster's ring. Really good movie and I'm no Siskel and Ebert, matter of fact I really don't like movies other than they're fun to sleep to on the couch.
:thmbsp: :thmbsp:

i was watching The DEparted at home, but the quality choice words that they used often made me stop because of Jr...One word, and she was repeating it ad nauseum,,,,I kept telling her Its Hockey Puck...Puck...Puck....You get mny drift...

I also saw at home School For Scoundrels...mildly entertaining.

Went to see "A Night at the Museum" Christmas night w/my sister, cousin, Lauriann, & another girl & her date. Pretty good kid's flick, I guess.Going to a movie on Christmas night is a family tradition Mary Lou-my sister, Julia-my cousin, & I have had for several years now.

I liked NIght At The Museum....that doctoral student was Cuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!! nicest smiles.

Picked up "Cool Hand Luke" last week at a thrift, so I popped it in the VCR last night.

"That ditch is Boss Kean's ditch. And I told him that dirt in it's your dirt. What's your dirt doin' in his ditch? "
:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

dup

Theater: A Night at the Museum -- triple-thumbs-up
DVD: Crank -- DOA done as a comedy in the style of a music video -- triple thumbs-up

Yeah, I should have mentioned that it's not a kid's flick with it's choice of colorful words. I too had to send my kids in search of something else to do.

Departed:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :yes:( Not for the kids.)
Cool Hand Luke :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: ("shakin' the bush, boss")

I always liked Strother Martin. He seemingly always played a character that was a bubble or 2 off level..

Have not watched a movie in ages.

I have Flags of our fathers sitting here waiting on me.

last movie I DLed..Talladega nights....

Never been much of a Will Ferrel fan... and this movie reinforces that ...I mean a grown man running around on the racetrack ...in his undies...thinking He's on fire... sorry ...just dont clik with me...

I give it maybe one thumbs up:thmbsp: ...and one thumbs down:thumbsdn: ...so I guess it's neutral....

Watched the first half of "Flags of our Fathers" and thought it quite good.:thmbsp: :thmbsp: The one befor that was Roman Polanski's " Oliver Twist" and it is an extremely good movie.:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

The Undead.

Scenes stolen from "Night of the Living Dead", Zombies, Aliens, buffoon cops, and acid rain (so the girls have to strip down to their undies).

What's not to like? :thmbsp:

Just got back from the $1.50 matinee of "Casino Royale"

Geez Louise, what a great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I love Bond flicks, especially the Connery ones, but this could EASILY be the best ever, it's that good.

Who'd a thunk it??????

Hi

last night i happened to see a controversed discussed movie:

"Mein Fuehrer" by Dany Levi

Mein Fuehrer: The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler
(International: English title)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780568/

it's a drama and comediantic, with the background of the story a very difficult thing to do...

I was first a bit shocked - by my reaction - i laughed as hell and after some minutes i needed to accept, that i am able to laugh in a story like this, it was a very ok film that i found way too short...

As i find always in the last years - Movie sound was way too loud...

I don't know if such a small german production will ever reach US cinemas, but if, give it a chance...

Flags was a good movie. Specially if your into the history of things.

I tried to read the Casino Royal book and god maybe 20 pages in before i threw it in the garbage. Have not seen the movie though..

KEY LARGO (1948) Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson and Lauren Bacall

Another John Huston Classic...

"We are Marshall". It's a very true story and the movie does an outstanding job of telling it. As I mentioned in another thread, I challenge you not to choke up and I dare you not to cheer.

My son rented Hamlet (Franco Zefirelli version) last night, the one with Mel Gibson and Glen Close; we watched it this morning. The 21 year-old that likes all kind of action movies, really surprised me!

:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: out of 5 thumbs up.

Just watched Friday Night Lights. I had forgotten I had already seen it. Good movie though.

Last night I watched Lost Highway and it is still running through my head.
A bit like Donnie Darko in that you have to concentrate the whole time to try and work it out.
I'm not sure that I have yet but they are both well worth a look.

Saw Ghostrider the other day. It was ok.

I watched Tony Rome starring Frank Sinatra. That was excellent.

I got bored and watched "The Usual Suspects" last night. I forgot how much I liked that movie the last time I saw it. :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

Looking back at my recent borrowing history at our most excellent local library:

Romper stomper: early 90's australian film that put Russell Crowe on the map there and in Europe. about a group of skinheads, its an independent film with tons of energy from the young cast, commentary track revealed how wild they really were: 3 :thmbsp:

Lost in translation: I avoided this for years due to the fear of it being too awkward, pretentious, or something:dunno: But it's really a very good movie about "normal" people in a strange environment making the best of it, Bill Murray still manages to be funny in spots 3 1/2 :thmbsp:

Narc: Ray Liotta is outstanding as usual as is Jason Patric. This is another independent film that managed to rise above its budget, very good and gritty. 3 :thmbsp:

The three musketeers [1974] ; [DVD] The four musketeers [1975]: Liked the first one best, lots of humor and they manage to stay true to the spirit of the book at least part of the time. Raquel Welch and Faye Dunaway in medieval French attire helps. 3 :thmbsp:

Spider: Cronenberg film starring Ralph Fiennes; most would probably check out of this one early on, very slow and quiet really but I loved it: 3 1/2 :thmbsp:

The Harry Potter movies! Hadn't seen any of those until recently, now I'm all caught up. Not a bad one in the lot, the 3rd is probably my fave, than the 2nd, 1st, 4th.

Just wached "The Fifth Element" on TV. Completely off the shelf stock standard sci-fi flick. You know, the one where a huge fireball will crash into the earth with 24 hours? Bruce Willis put in a fine performance, but what made it worth watching was Milla Jovovich.

A strikingly beautiful girl who was completely believable in her role and the actor that really carried the movie.

:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

ps: i see it's out in Blu-ray

Based on a true story Fly Boys, takes place during the 1st WW
The Bi plane fights sound awesome:thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

The last time I went to the movies, I watched Sin City. A good comic book movie.

I like that movie.
I also have the recording of Little lite of love played at the end of the movie by Peter Gabriel

Saw "Music and Lyrics" with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore over the weekend. Definitely a chick-flick but still a good movie with a musical slant. I'd rate it an 8 on a 10-point scale.

:dunno: I watched "Beerfest" at a friends the other nite. I wasn't drunk or stoned so the humor mostly escaped me.


Matt

Been a while since I saw Narc but I remember it being a very good movie also.

"Office Space", one of my favorite comedy's to just kick back with. Great cast, and easy to watch, you don't have to be a genius to get the jokes. The DVD came with some neat extras, such as the history of the red Swingline stapler, which there was never was one made at the time. The prop department painted it red. It became such an icon, that Swigline started making them in red! "Damn, it feels good to be a gangster!"

ANyone noticed that in The Departed there is an awesome looking McIntosh system that the lady plugs her Senheiser headphones into>?
