what was the last movie you saw? - Page 184

**The Flying Mouse** · 02 Feb 2010, 20:38

Be Kind Rewind had a really great idea, but then they spread the gags too thin, and tried to insert a sub plot that didn't work.

Watched Hannibal last night, then Flatliners.

**RadioMaster** · 02 Feb 2010, 22:20

just watched Almost Famous. Very good, actually even better than I expected.

I prefer High Fidelity to school of rock, though he only played a supporting role in that one.

Inglorious Basterds.

Film seemed to drag quite a bit for me.
Also the story didn't quite mesh.Was more like a series of scenes than a flowing story.

Found it ironic that if it were a film commiting war crimes against prisoners instead of the other way around, the film would be taken in a completly different context.
As it was, Brad Pitt's charachter is a hero for killing prisoners.

The scene where the sergent refuses to give up the other squad is a prime example.
If it were a German threatening to kill an American if he didn't give up his comrades, then the German would be the typical Hollywood nazi bogieman (invariably he'd be a black uniformed Gestapo officer, even though the Gestapo were plain clothes and the Allgermeine SS who DID wear black uniforms were more pencil pushers than anything else.Much more likely to wield a rubber stamp than a gun.But Hollywood can't do without them.There's even one in Basterds) while the prisoner would be portrayed as heroic and self sacrificing for not handing his friends over to the enemy.
As it was, the German is shown as a convinced nazi who refuses to comply because he's a fanatic.

The character change of Zoller also made no sence.

All in all, not a film i'll be dashing to see again.

Depends if you've studied military history, and in fact used to collect military antiques

Shall we discuss Napoleon next?

Watched Jackass The Movie last night.
Still funny stuff.

quite entertaining, good acting by Mike Myers

... i watched a film made for HBO titled Temple Grandin ... it's based on the life of Temple Grandin ... a high functioning autistic who got herself through to getting a master's degree ... she works in the field of animal behavior ... particularly cattle ... i heard her interviewed Friday on NPR... i find her speech pattern and thoughts annoying ... but was curious to know more about her ... the film left me in tears... of joy for her ... a curious thing in the film ... Grandin was diagnosed with autism at the age of four... in 1951 ... i was surprised to find it was that early ... as my brother wasn't diagnosed until he was in his early 30s in the early 1980s ... he's deaf as well and was said to be unable to be educated due to his attention span ... but then i suppose that's a catch 22 of the autism... perhaps if he had been diagnosed earlier things would be different for him ... he's pretty much genius in my eyes... he did learn to write the letters of the alphabet ... taught himself the cursive version... and went on to write words ... street lights always facinated him and he would draw pictures of them... and make models of them out of clay ... and then get small lights and hook them to a battery to light them ... this all with no education ... if only ...

Do .. it's brilliant

. Saw it yesterday.

**RadioMaster** · 08 Feb 2010, 21:39

the dark knight on blu ray
excellent!

*AndyK* · 09 Feb 2010, 11:04

Not a film, but a feature length DVD of Steve Coogan's most recent stage show: "Alan Partridge and other less well known characters" Funnier this time round than when I saw it live in Manchester. Worth watching this for the encore alone.

it is indeed, quite possibly his best performance...next to the second Austin Powers film!

**The Flying Mouse** · 09 Feb 2010, 22:12

The Talented Mr Ripley.

Not a bad movie.

**RadioMaster** · 10 Feb 2010, 08:12

Angels and Demos (on blu ray)

quite forgettable, in fact I hardly remembered anything from watching it at the cinema.
IMO they relied too much on the popularity of the book. They worked their way through the plot step by step but didnt really try to make a good movie.

*AndyK* · 10 Feb 2010, 10:37

From Hell

Mr Depp is usual brilliance, a supporting cast of well known UK TV actors prompted repeated cries of "What's he/she been in before" and some shocking special effects / prosthetic makeup (What is John Merrick doing in the Jack The Ripper Story anyway?)

Boogie Nights
actually a lot deeper than I expected

Sue K · 12 Feb 2010, 01:28

... Iris ... throughly enjoyed ... Judi Dench and Kate Winslett ... genius ... Kate Winslett ... one of the bravest out there actresses in the universe ... imo ... i find myself as i get older straying away from the popular films to the more independent ... my love of the works of Johnny Depp and Vincent D'Onofrio didn't hurt either ...
