What was the last movie you watched?

[donoghue]

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

Lost in translation: I avoided this for years due to the fear of it being too awkward, pretentious, or something 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

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

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

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

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.



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

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.

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

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>?

My wife and I just returned from seeing The Lives of Others. We both agree that this is the best movie we have seen in the past twelve months. This is a powerful and gripping drama that is very thought provoking. The majority of the story is set in the German Democratic Republic in 1984. A popular playwright becomes the target of a Stazi investigation when a high ranking official takes a liking to his actress woman friend. German with English subtitles. Most highly recommended.

I just watched Cimmaron as I am an Irene Dunne fan. This movie sucked.

Cast: Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Andrew Simpson, Max Lewis and Juno Temple

Four Academy Award nominations for this thoughtful movie that constantly reveals the complexity of the characters lives. We saw this on Saturday. Judi Dench's performance is outstanding. Recommended.

Broke out Little Big Man for a family night of movies, Kids started out like, Awwww...

They were loving it by the end. After a few years you forget how funny parts of it are.
