What was the last movie you watched?

[Lain]

Watched Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Looked and sounded great. Made me rather sad-face at the end though D:

The Cooler. Mediocre.

I just finished watching 1408.

That was one weird film. In fact, as big a fan of Stephen King as I am, this is only the third film based on his written work that I've ever seen which I actually enjoyed.
I won't go into details, but I will say this: John Cusack absolutely carried this film. Over 70% of the screen time is him in the room alone and he made it work.

See it.
And you'll never hear the Carpenter's "We've Only Just Begun" the same again...

Kudos to King and director Mikael Håfström for this one.

I don't watch many movies (very little TV actually) but my wife is addicted. I bought her a BlueRay player for Christmas and bought our first BR disc a couple of days ago and watched it. The movie was CRASH. Very good movie. I had never heard of it, but for $10 (at WalMart) it was a good purchase. My wife had already seen it, but was glad to watch it again.

The Bucket List. It was funny, and touching.

[Andyman]

"The Dark Knight"

Very good all around. Ledger was excellent as The Joker and certainly deserves Oscar consideration.

Is it just me, or did others get some Andy Rooney stylings in some his monologues....

"Slum Dog Millionaire", I thought it was a really good movie...!

[caddisgeek]

Tropic Thunder - very funny

[2DualsNotEnough]

Gran Torino-Good performance by Clint Eastwood.Good,if somewhat predictable script.I really enjoyed it.

[JerryM]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Strong performances by Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt (and terrific make-up effects.) But too long. I think at the least, some scenes of Ben and Daisy's early married life together could have been cut.

[Cosmic]

The Danish film "The Inheritance"
Four thumbs and several bananas...

Very powerful drama of man who inherits his father's business, and all the family problems attached to it.

Stripped down and honest, with great acting.

I watched a 1997 film entitled "Cube" About 5 people who suddenly find themselves in a gigantic Rubiks Cube type environment, and the different rooms are booby trapped in one way or another.

The rooms move to a different position, at certain intervals. The trick is trying to get out of the enormous cube. Not an easy task. But, the rooms are numbered, and these numbers hold the key to escape to the "outer shell."

This is an Indy film, but well worth your time. It plays on IFC from time to time. Very high production values, good acting, and a ponderable ending.

Yes Man, with Jim Carry...I enjoyed it quite a bit!!

[donoghue]

Windtalkers, I didn't learn a lot but John Woo's direction was fun and over the top. I enjoyed Adam Beech's performance. The violence and gore was crazy and the subject matter is anything but light but I was entertained despite it all.

Valkyrie

Its a different movie than I expected, very odd way of laying out a movie, but once you get to the end, you start to realize why they bothered with near an hour of back-story. Very good movie, and not overdone.
