View Full Version : what was the last movie you saw?
Yep...couldn't you tell that the same research was used for both and A&D was written just to make some quick buck to support himself for Code?
Intersting point! One of my biggest passions in life (bar Meat Loaf!) is art history, so when I read Da Vinci code I was absolutely in heaven! A friend recommended Angels & Demons, describing it as 'religion and science' whereas it was religion and art in Da Vinci, so I really didn't think I'd like it...was hooked almost instantly. The descriptions of the Bernini sculpture is superb, if it hadn't been for tour this year I think a trip to Rome would definitely have featured!
And to stay on topic the last film we saw was Hitch :))

Awful I thought. Looks like it was made by amateurs and Jack Black just happened to stroll along. A few interesting ideas and just a very, very few laughs. Definitely do not recommend this. Disappointing.
Terrible cinematography btw, countless shots where you don't see the person on screen who is talking. Crazy.

The Exorcist 3
thought it was quite watchable, but more as a crime movie, than a horror movie, with the exeption of the (strange) ending.
The connection to the original movie was a little far fetched though, and hard to believe or even understand completely.
After seeing all the 5 Exorcist movies I can say that the first one truly is a great film, with a unique idea, but to milk the same idea to make 3 (4) sequels was not a very good idea. They should have rather come up with some more original ideas, instead of (more or less) copying the first movie every time.

Flight Plan
very good, had no idea what to expect at the beginning.
followed by: Panic Room
disappointing. Especially for a Fincher movie. I'm usually a fan of his films, as youve got this dark, nightmare-ish atmosphere, and an incredible camerawork, but nearly nothing of that was noticable. Instead of that you had tons of unnecessary computer animations, that didnt do anything for the story or the mood (see the torch scene). Would have expected more from DF.
IMO it would have been a lot better (and more atmospheric) if they hadnt told the (back)story of the burglars. If they had just been some dark, silent menacing people, the atmosphere would have been a lot darker, and better.
Idea: great, execution: lame
Forgetting Sarah Marshall...could have been a good and funny movie...could have been that is...

have yet to watch that one.
My understanding (from the reviews) is that it is something like Streets of Fire: Great mood/atmosphere and editing, but lacking a good story.
Withouth spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, Lady In The Water originates from a bedtime story...in my opinion the story is very good, but it's as though Shyamalan decided to turn it into a film, realised it was too simple for an adult audience and had to go about making it more complicated and appropriate for the audience, but in doing so the story is lost

Casino Royale was awful, I'll probably catch QOS on tv some Christmas, no rush
Whatever happened to Bond eh? I watched QOS on Wednesday and fair enough the action is fantastic but there are absolutely no gadgets and there is no humour. I thought that along with the good action were the 3 main ingredients of a Bond movie? Not some unbeatable Jackie Chan / Terminator style action figure anyway. :-(
There is no Q and Daniel Craig doesn't even have one liners in this movie (a la Roger Moore). There is actually very little dialogue and Craig doesn't mention "Bond, James Bond" once as far as I remember and where was the shaken vodka martini? Apparently in Casino Royale (which I have not watched yet) he says when he is offered exactly this drink: "Do I look like I give a damn?". That may be funny to a lot of people but to me it is sad that they resort to this. It's a bit like ripping the S off Superman's costume in my opinion. You have to live with it as it has been done like this but why?? No Moneypenny either.
Also why is the gun barrel scene at the end of QOS and not at the beginning?! To some these details may be forgettable but I think it is quite cheeky to make a movie and forget about those little details. Previous Bond films were much more a specific style, now it just blends into the background of all the movie garbage that gets released. Moreover a movie like QOS is not something I would want to see over and over again, which is exactly what I did with the older Bond movies (up till "Die another Day"). I don't like this new style at all, the little details are gone. :?
They could have continued with Brosnan for several more films. I really didn't see a problem with Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and Die another Day. All great movies (The world is not enough looked rushed and lacked a good story).
As far as I am concerned they may as well now get rid of the opening song / graphical introduction. Why not if you are going to forget everything else?
A shame.

Hmmm.... let's see.... Sunday afternoon while cooking: School of Rock. Sunday night: The Bourne Identity. This morning while studying: The Queen, followed by Carrie. And now we're watching The Bourne Supremacy... Will probably follow it up with The Bourne Ultimatum tomorrow night....
I actually saw a movie...it was Maid of Honor or something...it was better than expected
Watched M Night Shyamalan's latest offering The Happening last night. Not quite up to the standards of The Sixth Sense, but on a par with The Village and well worth a watch.

Watched this last night, it's about the 3rd time I've seen it and I like it a lot. Very much my kind of film.
Watched M Night Shyamalan's latest offering The Happening last night. Not quite up to the standards of The Sixth Sense, but on a par with The Village and well worth a watch.
Shyamalan always puts certain elements in his films, you could almost make a Shyamalan film recipe book of all the things he includes in each film, which some might say makes for boring/samey films...this film is definitely worth watching but this time he's taken out just a couple of those elements and for me it didn't work so well :? Some jumpy bits and absolute comedy lines in it though!
No movie but some episodes of my favorite British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances. I just love the snobbish "Bucket woman". Patricia Routledge is hilarious. :lmao:

You dont have to compare every animated film to Shrek you know!! Shrek is different to the rest just accept it lol!!

As promised, I finally finished watching Closing the Ring, but I don't know how to explain it. I can't even place it into a particular genre - not strictly a chick flick, but maybe a drama with spiritual undertones.
It stars Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine and traverses from 1943 to present day, from USA to Belfast, Ireland.
A good movie overall.
Last night's movie was, "The Killers" - 1947 original version - not surprised it has developed a cult following of sorts. Later, I hope to watch the 1964 version.

Easy Rider - love the way Jack Nicholson was elevated to higher than Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 30th anniversary DVD.
Still, he was the one who actually played a *character* as opposed to Fonda and Hopper, who could have just as easily been playing themselves at that time.
Bloody waste of a good looking bike in the end.

Inspired by actual events that occurred in 1920s-era Los Angeles, Clint Eastwood's "Changeling" tells the story of a woman driven to confront a corrupted LAPD after her abducted son is retrieved and she begins to suspect that the boy returned to her is not the same boy she gave birth to. The year was 1928, and the setting a working-class suburb of Los Angeles. As Christine (Angelina Jolie) said goodbye to her son, Walter, and departed for work, she never anticipated that this was the day her life would be forever changed. Upon returning home, Christine was distressed to discover that Walter was nowhere to be found. Over the course of the following months, the desperate mother would launch a search that would ultimately prove fruitless. Yet just when it seemed that all hope was lost, a nine-year-old boy claiming to be Christine's son seemed to appear out of thin air. Overcome with emotions and uncertain how to face the authorities or the press, Christine invites the child to stay in her home despite knowing without a doubt that he is not her son. As much as Christine would like to accept the fact that her son has been returned to her, she cannot accept the injustice being pushed upon her and continues to challenge the Prohibition-era Los Angeles police force at every turn. As a result, Christine is slandered by the powers that be, and painted as an unfit mother. In this town, a woman who challenges the system is putting her life on the line, and as the situation grows desperate, the only person willing to aid her in her search is benevolent local activist Reverend Briegleb (John Malkovich).
Taken from IMDB. Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich were brilliant, if you have a chance I urge you to go and see it.

That was scary...
Hot Fuzz...very funny and I've learned something useful...there are 2 policemen in Paris and none in London! Party time!
Horribly censored German edition of Pelts. They deleted all the splatter scenes, yet the movie is "suitable only for persons of 18 years and over". :nuts: Let alone that someone who does not know the original will hardly get what the story is all about due to numerous missing scenes.
Fortunately, I own the U.S. DVD which is fun watching.
