What was the last movie you watched?

Oh, just watched Errol Morris' "The Thin blue Line".

Great piece of work.

Saw Pan's Labyrinth a few days ago. Wow. It's a film where the director wants you to come to certain conclusions and isn't afraid to let you know that. It's too intense and violent for children and probably many adults. There is a lot of beauty and imagination on the screen (along with some grotesque characters and behavior). Overall it is easily worth checking out, even though you have to read subtitles unless you understand Spanish.

I just saw Army Of Shadows,a French film about the Resistance.Grim,powerful stuff.Never before released on dvd here,and rarely seen in the states,period.The director,Jean Pierre Melville also directed Bob The Gambler,another classic.If you dont mind subtitles,I highly recommend it.

Watched The Last King of Scotland this afternoon the performances where all round powerful tense scary that made my skin crawl highly recommended.

Dolby six-track sound with centre back height added a claustrophobic wrap around that was closing on me atmospheric crowd scenes seemed incredible realistic dialogue was clear even when (Forest Whitaker) “Amin” playing the genocide mad man placed me on edge knowing this someone who will snap in heart beat his tone reverberated with chilling class. (James McAvoy) “Dr. Nicholas Garrigan” was most defiantly in over his head and picked the wrong country at the wrong time.

Framed at 2.35:1 scope was clear rich tones of colour easy on the eye.

Film 10/10
Sound 9/10
Picture 10/10

JBL sound system
THX
Dolby 5.1 with centre back and height surrounds
Fader level 0db

It’s also defiantly on the DVD list to buy soon.

Good mix of original and hollywood film.

Pretty good, even the kids liked it, they usually don't like "dated" movies.

That’s one of my favourite films from 1983 it’s a film that you don’t what to end even at over 3 hours its full of great dialogue music and an incredible six-track Dolby mix that won best sound, sound effects editing music and film editing.

I watched Pan's Labyrinth last night and it is a great film!

I have Army Of Shadows and am very much looking forward to it but tonight I might just go for something mindless like Exterminator II

"Breach" wasn't available at the local video outlet, so I rented "Bobby" and "Little Children."

Enjoyed both, the latter is quite riveting and slightly disturbing. A fine film.

I have to wait until June 12 for Breach.

June 12 can't come fast enough.

Last Night, the Lake House. Surprisingly good. Not amuch os a Keanu Reeves fan, but it was well done. SWMBO really liked it.

The "Time travleing mial box" created a lot of confusion about timelines, but very effective once you accepted it as a a fact for the storyline.

Two weeks ago we watched a Japanise movie called "Death Book", Subtitled, and apparantly very popular in Japan. A fun flick, but sort of stupid at times. the Subtitles were sometimes difficult to keep up with.

Some good twists, and hard to decide who were the bad guys at times...

Pan's Labyrinth -- ditto to what everyone else said, great film, but may be too dark/violent/whatever for some. I actually thought it might be too dark for the wife of the friend of mine, but she still managed to enjoy it, so I was wrong about that. But back to the movie: just one of those movies where everything comes together -- the acting, the story, the direction, the special f/x -- everything was just top notch.

Shrek the Third.I really enjoyed the first two movies,so this one was really a disapointment.Not many fresh ideas,the jokes just werent very clever,and the story was pretty lame.A thumbs down for me on this one.

Once Upon a Time In The West (1968-69). Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale (Whoo-Hoo-Dee-Do-Da!), and Jason Robards. Epic spaghetti by director Sergio Leone (same guy that did the Clint E. westerns). Rave reviews by pretty much every critic in the world. And why not. Sex, viloence, gun battles, murder, , horses, cool vintage trains, surreal music & plot, spectacular Arizona scenery, a real family film.

Kung Fu Hustle, which has been likened to a mix of Kill Bill & Looney Tunes.
I'd add a bit of The Matrix in there for good measure, but it had me and the lady in tears at times. Hilarious, one that is now on my "must have" list.

If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, you should also check out Shaolin Soccer (same director).

Reefer Madness, just this evening as a matter of fact.

Thanks for the tip Dusty - our library system also has that dvd and
I just placed a reserve on it. I guess I should do a Stephen Chow search and get everything out there that I can borrow !
