What was the last movie you watched?

Pan's Laberynth.....great movie....I even enjoyed the proper spanish spoken by the characters.

I loved it!

Smokin' Aces -- I enjoyed much of it, but it went off on too many tangents (the kid, Alicia Keys' character), and ended up ultimately tripping up as a result. I also didn't like the ending.

The last movie I watched was "The Brown Bunny" on Thursday. Despite being touted as having a real oral sex scene (which it does), this was the most pretentious, boring, waste of film stock you will ever see. Being in a coma is more interesting.

I was in a mood for Classics this weekend so I watched:

"Pigskin Parade", 1936 with a cast that includes Betty Grable, Jack Haley and Judy Garland (in her first film) Fun Musical about a small town football team invited to play Yale by mistake. Judys singing voice at 14 is incredible!


Next up was "The Sniper" 1952, an absolutely great B movie about a Serial Killer with Mother issues (eight years before Psycho!) I recorded this one off of TCM because it's not on DVD for some crazy reason.


After that it was "The Last Angry Man" from 1959, also from TCM
TV Producer wants to profile a reluctant Brooklyn Doctor but the Doc has too much integrity for Television.

Thanks to the San Jose public library the last movie I watched was Bee Season. Although not an outstanding movie, my wife and I gave it . A plus for those who live in the San Francisco Bay area, the setting is Oakland.

From the jacket:

"Richard Gere stars in the gripping tale about a father obsessed with training his talented daughter for the National Spelling Bee. Eliza Naumann (Flora Cross) demonstrates such an amazing gift for spelling any word given to her that their father Saul (Gere) insists on coaching her himself. But as Eliza's success continues, Saul's newfound devotion grows...causing huge changes for the entire family."

Amadeus.
Terrible movie - if you are a fan or descedent of Salieri.

Its made by Judd Aptow,the same director/writer of The 40 Year Old Virgin,and its another home run.So much of the film is funny because its funny,and funny because its true.There are a few classic fall down laughing scenes,including one with Rogen and Rudd going to Vegas to see Cirque Du Soleil while on Mushrooms.
This is warm,honest,often mature,and very,very raunchy.Definetly not for the kids.

I agree with all you said. Great movie. Definately one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Synaesthesia -- meh. Not too bad. My friend with whom I watched asked about 1/3 of the way through if it was just him, or if the movie started off really good, then got real slow. I'm actually really glad he said that, because I hadn't noticed, and it allowed me to mentally pace myself more slowly, in line with the film. And there's a problem with lifelong synaesthetes, as they can't draw the sorts of analogies that were conveyed in the film -- that's only meant for us non-synaesthetes, in an attempt to help us understand. They didn't do as good job of conveying Synaesthesia, so much as romanticizing the concept.

Other than that, it was an okay film. I did enjoy the unraveling of the mystery part.

i just watched '1984' again...a 'gentle' reminder that there at least 25 cctv cameras on my street alone...and one per every 14 citizen in the UK...
if only the film was fictional instead of true...i'm nervously waiting for my neighbour to report me for my 'individual' thought crime of 'analog sounds better than digital' so i can be undergo 'newspeak' therapy...
as the movie says..two plus two sometime equals four..but then again it might equal 3 or 5..depending on who you answer to...or are afraid of

I am currently watching the first season of The Unit on DVD. It is a good show if you watch it in long sittings and minus commercials.

Children of Men. Fantastic.

[Eric H]

This pre-code version is excellent and very very violent!

[WhiteSE]

Shrek 3...for Jr. mainly..this series is out of steam.
Mr Brooks...oh it could have been so much better...

I loved:

Apocalypto
The Fountain
Pan's Laberynth

Silent Hill -- excellent movie for the genre, better than Darkness or The Grudge, methinks.

"Last King of Scotland" on DVD. Scary stuff and not a gorefest as it could have easily become in other hands. Well acted all around.
