whats the latest movie you have watched?

[Srbo]

i watched Zodiac the other night with jake gyllenhal and robert downey jr. i really enjoyed it

Zodiac is a masterpices, IMO.

I`ve watched so many movies in the last two weeks or so that it would take me at least half an hour to list them all ( that`s what you can do when you are currently unemployed )...mostly newer ones and there isn`t one single movie that I can single out and say " wow, this was not too shabby at all ".

[AngelZ]

I finally got around to see Slumdog Millionaire. Beautiful movie, but some parts hard to watch especially the brutality endured by the children.

[DelvianBlue]

I saw Star Trek last weekend. It was totally different from what I expected, but very good.

[Jojo87]

Watch Child's play last night. That was a really good movie. So scary.

[KeyboardSamurai]

Watch Child's play last night. That was a really good movie. So scary.

I love that movie! Child's Play 2 is just as scary.

[plb6977]

Taken with Liam Neeson was very good

[darkjediprincess]

The Devils's Backbone.

[jacobtlong]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. I've seen bits and pieces of it, but never the whole thing. I really loved it. It had just the right touch of weirdness to win me over.

[Srbo]

Well, last night I`ve watched

The Express - ( Dennis Quaid ) a pretty emotinal movie about a young football star

The Midnight Meat train ( Vinnie Jones ) - a very brutal horror flick base on Clive Barkers short story

and

War, Inc ( John Cusack, Marisa Tomei ) - a polital satire, pretty funny in some parts...

All three movies would get six stars out of 10, IMO.

[Perse Jr.]

Over the weekend, my kids watched Ratatouille for the first time. I fell in love with it! I don't know if it was the colors or the characters, but I actually watched it, from beginning to end, BY MYSELF, last night after everyone went to bed.

[Sms231]

Saw Up last night. Was an awesome film! It kinda goes without saying though, since everything that Pixar has done has been awesome. Those guys can literally do no wrong when it comes to films. Wish I could have seen in 3D, but my friends didn't want to wait for the showing. Gonna go again this week and see it in 3D :-)

[Matthew.Degnan]

Stand By Me (For the millionth time lol)

[LisaNH]

Don't laugh......LOL....:rolleyes: The last movie I watched was Jesse Stone: Sea Change. I just like the setting of the films and I have always liked Tom Selleck. He is so down to earth and seems like a genuinely nice man.

[JRLauer]

I took my daughter to see UP yesterday. Another Pixar hit.

[strange]

Angels and Demons and I have to admit I hate that sort of conspiracy stuff...the film was great and the plot was flawless.

[Vuja Dae]

dogma.

[Natjen26]

Lost Highway and I didn't like it. David Lynch just doesn't do it for me, besides Twin Peaks that is.

[Agincourt Concierge]

Just saw the newest Terminator flick w/my younger son....
I was really surprised w/this one...

Much better than terminator 3......I loved it...!! Definately pleasantly surprised...!!!
Definately recommend this one......!

[Insomniak]

i finally got around to watching mirrors this weekend i enjoyed it good movie all in all
ps
(thought i would post this instead of putting them up individually easier on ms mod and us to find:)

wish I could say mirros

[LF-Me]

My wife and I just saw Angels & Demons. It was real good with Tom Hanks playing his usual real good role. The end is awesome in two ways, which I won't divulge here. You have to see it.

[ticktock]

Drag Me To Hell....absolutely brilliant film. Very rare to find something that can make you laugh out loud and cringe at the same time but this movie manages it. 10 out of 10 from me:cool2:.

I saw it too! It was a good movie and sounded great in theater. They really tricked me in the end.

[Matthew.Degnan]

Ghost. Thought it was okay, maybe wouldn't recommend it though

[BlackThorn]

TERMINATOR 4 BIACHES!!!

BWA HA HA! I swear you could hear me sighing for the beauty in the theater, every time they showed a scene of what used to be L.A. It gives me chills now, just brushing upon the memory.

I LOVE the way they show the war. I didn't like the way Terminator 2 and Terminator 3 both just tried to untie a time paradox. FORGET THAT. If a paradox exists, RUN WITH IT! Don't try to figure it out, don't try to not be your own grandfather. Go with whatever works! Take for granted, that you're only some player in a story, ON EVERY PLANE OF EXISTENCE, and PLAY.

Oooooo, Kyle Reese was a KICKASS child. "Come with me if you want to live..." And seeing that Terminator stalking L.A., old and beat up, when the main character shouted at it, garnishing its attention... ooooOOOOooooOOOOOooooOOOOO...

And the female lead warrior! By the GODS I get tired of not having powerful female leads in these movies. Women make better warriors than men! Get one pissed at you, and you'll know it instantly. Not only that, but a female body was designed to take more pain than a males, because their bodies are designed for childbearing. I hate having to put in 'Resident Evil' or 'The Fifth Element', _just_ to see a hot chick kicking ass.

THIS MOVIE ROCKED!!! YAYYYYYYYY FOR OUTDOING MY EXPECTATIONS!!!

I never go to the theater really, but I might go again today, and then again, just to catch it a few more times.

http://bespokecashmere.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/terminator_salvation__the_future-1.jpghttp://downwith.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/terminator-salvation-bale.jpg
(And NO INTENTIONAL STUPID ARNOLD JOKES! YAY! They got serious again, like in the first one!)

[LongTallSally]

I giggled my way through 'Starsky and Hutch' yesterday afternoon. I might slap in a horror movie of some sort today. Or perhaps, The Order. I've been wanting to draw Heath Ledger for a while and there are a couple of scenes in The Order where his face is absolutely beautiful. Who knows. I've got a bunch of DVD's that I haven't watched yet, but they are being reserved for movie nights with my man so I won't crack 'em open yet.

[Kim L.]

Star Trek, which was even better than I'd hoped. Looking forward to the remake of "The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" (never saw the original but I'm told it's great). It's supposed to open 6/12.

[BRUMMIEYID]

The Contract starring John Cusack and Morgan Freeman

Good thriller, I really enjoyed it.

[Wendy Capps]

The Descent was awesome. I'm a caver. Not sure how I'll feel next time I go under.

[karend3]

Watched Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian. It was actually pretty decent.

[Wendy Capps]

Home: The Wrestler

Movie Theater: Milk, I think. It's been awhile.

Loved them both Yeah, The Wrestler was great. It's really good to see Mickey Rourke in movies again. This was a very good performance. Especially the relationship with his daughter.

[Wendy Capps]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. I've seen bits and pieces of it, but never the whole thing. I really loved it. It had just the right touch of weirdness to win me over. Oh one of my FAV Cult Movie of all time. I watched it when I was 13 years old. No wonder I'm such a Freak. Love Tim Curry, he actually put out a few albums years back and was pretty good music.

[Wendy Capps]

Underworld, The Rise of The Lichens - If you liked the first one , you'll like this one. It explains how the Lichens became. Very Good Movie!!!

[MyLife4YouSK]

Taken, starring Liam Neeson was an excellent thriller. It was hardly noticed when it was in theatres recently, but is very much worth seeing.

Long Days and pleasant nights

I concur.... great stuff!

[morefutility]

7 Pounds. Could have been a tad better scripted, but all-in-all I feel it was one of those rare things: an original premise. I am sure I could quickly be disproved of this notion, so I will say that it is simply the first of its kind that I have seen. A nice film, if your not dependent on action and gore to fulfill your movie going needs.

[seanryan]

Going to see Salvation tomorrow. Haven't been at the movies (outside of home DVD land) since Dark Knight (what a movie), so looking forward to terminator.

After your comments, looking forward to it some more....

[CaptainHowdy]

Saw Angels & Demons a couple nights ago, funny thing was I wached it on one of the free movie sites and I guess it was foriegn or something because when they would speak another language it would subtitle it in some other language I didn't know. Don't quite get that since the rest of the movie wasn't subtitled. But maybe it was somewhere that English is common enough but no one would speak Latin (I'm assuming thats what I was hearing) Anyway I didnt think I'd like it but I was glued to it beginning to end, Solid 9/10

Also watched the new Star Trek which being a 10 year old Trekkie back in 76 I really did not expect to like it at all. Was I surprised! I never warmed up to Kirk but the rest of them I really felt like it could have been the originals in their younger days. One thing that impressed me most about these young actors was their ability to get the little actions and movements that defined the original cast. You don't think about those things but when the new kirk comes into the bridge and slings himself in the captains chair it was done just like Shatner! And the new spock, I can not say enough good things about him!! Amazing! I look forward to the next one.

Another one I saw in the past couple weeks that I really liked although I don't think it got good reviews was Knowing with Nicholas Cage. I cant even say why it did but it left me with that sense of wonderment that the last time I remember getting was as a kid watching CE3K. When the movies over you just sit there for a moment and go "WOW"

Oh and I also watched "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" again :)

[Insomniak]

Batman -The Dark Knight

[BlackThorn]

T4 again. ;)

And it's been a lonnnnnng time since I've even dragged myself to the theater. Other than the fact that they sold frosty mugs of Guiness there, you should never do a follow up movie in a crappy little theater, when the first time you saw it was on an amazing theater with stadium seating and above average DTS audio systems and extremely high-def video systems.

The movie was great though.

Oh, and I fell asleep watching 'The Toy' last night. I didn't make it up to the point Richard Priors character got his clothes all bit to shreds by the piranha and he ran across the water to get away. Hehe. But I did get to the point where Richard Priors character crashes the car in the living room with Master Bates, and he starts making all those loud hyper-ventilating noises at Berkley and the kid.

[Cerralin]

I just watched Night at the Museum 2 on Friday with the kids. It was ok but I liked the 1st one better.
Just before that I saw Angels and Demons, I hadn't read the book as I hadn't been able to get into it but I thought the film was great. =)

[BlueCeleste]

I Saw Gone, Baby Gone, The Affleck brothers did a wonderful job, it was intense and thought provoking and Morgan Freeman was his usual spectacular self!

[~Ally~]

12 Rounds...a pointless mind numbing action movie which doesn't require a lot of brain work to watch, but enjoyable all the same...if you like that sort of thing, luckily I do:laugh:.

BlueCeleste I watched Gone Baby Gone when it was released and I thought it was fabulous, good script and actors.

[Tery]

I finally saw V For Vendetta tonight. Quite good. I liked the parallels to certain real-life incidents. Natalie Portman did a fantastic job.

[Matthew.Degnan]

I seem to be on this thread a lot lol - this time i watched 'Barton Fink' - absolutely fabulous movie- i highly recommend any of the Coen Brothers films.

[smooth operator]

I saw the new Star Trek yesterday. My Mom and I really enjoyed it. Especially the guy that played the young Spock ans Simon Pegg as Scotty.

[Perse Jr.]

I watched A LOT of movies over the past few days (and it was awesome).

Stardust - starring Claire Danes, Michele Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro; not bad! Sort of predictable, but still very entertaining. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. It's funny and lightly scary, with lots of characters, big names, and twists and turns.

Juno - starring Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman. AWESOME movie! Ellen Page is great.

Waitress - starring Keri Russell, Cheryl Hines, Andy Griffith. OK movie; good for a rainy day. It was definitely predictable, but I enjoyed it.

Smart People - starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Dennis Quaid. Ellen Page was great in it (dark and brooding), but it was boring, and Quaid's character was too annoying.

[jacobtlong]

The Pursuit Of Happyness

Gangs of New York

[Natjen26]

Cloverfield. Second time and it's still great. Allthough the beginning can get a bit boring, when you've seen in already.

A view to a kill. I fell asleep, so 'nough said. But I am a fan of Christopher Walken. :smile2:

Street Kings. A decent action flick, with Keanu Reeves, who can't shake of his matrix character (Sorry Keanu, you aren't THE ONE in every movie you make, show some emotions!!!):laugh:

[themadone06]

In the past month I have watched Star Wars and The Hangover. Both movies were very good movies, even though I disliked the Star Wars plot.

The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. Period. Everyone needs to see it.

Also Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is coming out in two weeks and I can not wait. I am a huge Transformers fan (even thought the movie has flaws I still find it entertaining) and Megan Fox is hot.

[Matthew.Degnan]

Apocalypse Now

absolutely fabulous- if you haven't seen it I have no idea what you've been doing for the last 30 years.

[Speedy2]

Up - I do have a four year old.:smile2:

[Countrygirl_sass]

My husband and I recently went to see a couple of movies, Star Trek + Terminator: Salvation. I loved them both and was so glad to get out of the house ALONE, it had been quite a long time since we seen a movie in the theater that wasn't something to do with kids. And I love to take my kids to see movies, but I love movies myself, adult movies.

[jenboxer77]

I watched Up too and was surprised at how sad it was! It was funny, too! The kiddos just loved it!

I also watched The Running Man and boy Arnold cracks me up!

[J.P.]

Up was great. So much of that film was shown and not said which, as a filmmaker, I really respect and enjoy. One of the few animations that ever got me to tear up a little!

[Matthew.Degnan]

The Bourne Supremacy, I watched Bourne 1 yesterday lol

[blunthead]

My latest movie is 11:14, which is currently available at Comcast's On Demand (Free Movies). I was impressed by the direction accomplished in this independent movie, and there are several big name actors/actresses (Barbara Hershey, Patrick Swayze, Hilary Swank, among others).

[boogerb53]

I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons this weekend. I loved it.

[sheba41]

The Hill's have eyes:eek2:

[Perse Jr.]

I watched Jeremiah Johnson again over the weekend; I've seen it at least 20 times and it's still awesome.

[Scorchen]

Most recent movie would have to be Australia. And I thoroughly agree with Ally88 - Hugh was hot!!! I actually watched it twice, well certain parts anyways. Checking out the scenery for my trip there next year! That's my story anyways.

[Natjen26]

I watched Some Like It Hot last Friday and I loved it. It was the first time I saw it, but it will be the first of many..

[opeth]

Easy Virtue. I saw it 3 times.

[Jojo87]

Solstice. That movie was really creepy.

[dawnde]

Does anyone like to watch Ghost Hunters? (TAPS)

[Perse Jr.]

Does anyone like to watch Ghost Hunters? (TAPS)

"ON TO THE NEXT!"

Great show!

[seanryan]

Watched "Watchmen". Visually very stylish and well shot. But story left me cold.

[Mr. Jingles]

"The Hangover"
Immature, senseless crude humor....
LOVED IT!!!

[jenboxer77]

I watched the new Transformer movie on Friday! I thought it was great! There were a few parts that got a little "CGI" for me, but overall, highly entertaining and funny, too! I really like Shia Lebeouf! :love:

[yog-sothoth]

I just watched The House of Usher (2006)

[dsurrett]

Saw Rise of the Lycans last night. I thought the first Underworld movie was great and thought the second was pretty good. Lycans was too much blood for blood's sake in my opinion so I didn't like it as much.

[michal]

The new Terminator and it was pretty awesome as far as acting and effects go. Unfortunately it seemed to me that they were saving on screenplay and the ending was beyond farfetched.

That's a pity because I think the casting was great and I was really waiting for this movie for literally years now. So much wasted potential for a good story thrown away for the sake of cliches...

[seanryan]

"I really like Shia Lebeouf!"

I agree, his energy and enthusiasm are just infectious. Fun movie. Very entertaining. Megan Fox did herself a lot of harm in it though - poor acting and pouting (not that I'm not a fan of pouting lol!), but Lebeouf just left her for dust.

[Brian]

Saw "Pubic Enemies" this weekend. It was pretty damn good. Most importantly, it was a "real" movie. It think there was only one CGI shot in the whole thing.

Amazing Cinematography and Art Direction. -Anyone else love the giant flares at the airfield and at the end? So haunting. We haven't seen cinematography like that in ages.

PS: Does anyone remember my rant about "120 minutes and that's it." I was bitchin' about the length of modern movies. Public Enemies *was* a bit too long and needed some editting. But I still enjoyed the extra time. Thats saying something.

[Cowboy]

Transformers 2.....pretty good, better than the first one, but I was disappointed at the amount of language when it is geared for kids with the whole Hasbro Toy Line.

[Jake Featherston]

Sorry Srbo, I am not saying that she isn't beautiful, I just think she looks a bit like an alien. :blush::eek2:

One of the reasons she's so beautiful is precisely because she doesn't look like everybody else. Kate Hudson is a good looking woman, but she looks like she was assembled at a factory specializing in Standard Issue Young Skinny Blonds. Or that Miley Cyrus person, granted she's underage, but there's no denying she's pretty...but she has such a generic pretty-teenage-girl appearance, that I can't even remember what she looks like five seconds after her face pops off the screen. But Angelina Jolie, you remember.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Anne Hathaway in it, but just from from what I've seen in commercials and movie posters, I've selected her to be my new bride after civilization collapses....Won't she be surprised!

[BRUMMIEYID]

Took my little princess to the cinema on Sunday to see Ice Age 3
Hilarious. however it was in 3D and did make a couple of young-uns next to us jump a bit!!!

[jenboxer77]

Knowing with Nicholas Cage. I thought it was great, pretty chilling.

The Unborn. I have to admit I jumped a few times and some of the imaging was very gory. Overall, worth watching!

Gonna watch The Haunting in Connecticut and The Burrowers next.

And I wonder why I have such vivid horrible nightmares! I can't help it, horror is my favorite! :laugh:

[Natjen26]

Watched "Watchmen". Visually very stylish and well shot. But story left me cold.

Felt the same way. I couldn't find the effort to watch the entire flick. Yawn!

[Kim L.]

Loved "Public Enemies." What a gorgeous film, and the score was fantastic. Johnny Depp did a great job and so did the actress who played Billie, Marion Cotillard (she won Best Actress for playing Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose").

[Raistlin]

Just watched The Shawshank Redemption. I think that makes about 20 times :D

[Terry B]

Just saw "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage. Pretty cool way to end the world.

[Magoo2]

Can't spell it -- Rattitoughe w/my kids:eek2:

[Raq]

'Storm of the Century'...quite a good flick, I liked the characters, the setting, music...I just have to say that I would leave out some scenes and I woud make a few changes in the script. BTW I could see Randall Flagg as the main eveil charachter, could you? I mean of course there would have to be a few changes in the script to adjust them to this guy but still..I wouldn't change the guys image (he is sooooo cooool) and that wouldn't be necessary (if you've read The Stand you know why) but I think he would have acted differently in some situations.
But after all it was a good movie...4 hours in a row that was something

[Jake Featherston]

I just watched a very obscure (and very good!) horror film from 2008, called "The Uninvited" (not to be confused with the more mainstream, 2009 horror movie of the same name). The ending was sadly weak, but the movie as a whole was extremely good. It scared me. The last movie to do that was probably "Children of the Corn," and/or "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch," due to my being a 'fraidy-cat 12-year old when they came out. Its presently available on IFC On Demand at Comcast (Pay-Per-View, alas).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942904/

(I was only the 57th person to rate this fine film at IMDB, so almost no one's seen it, which is a shame)

I also watched a 1972 film, starring Gene Hackman (my favourite actor) and Lee Marvin, called "Prime Cut," which is about organized crime in rural Kansas, and touches on all sorts of interesting themes, such as cannibalism, sexual slavery, etc. Definitely worth seeing (downloaded it off the 'net).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069121/

[Dhasek]

I watched "Death At A Funeral" last night. It was hilarious!!! I highly recommend it!

[Raq]

Am I the only one that thinks that The Uninvited is a remake of A Taleof Two Sisters? A Korean horror/drama flick? I could bet that it's a remake...anyway AToTS is VERY good, and i mean very very good. I say that as a person whose fed up with asian horror.

ok just read the desription, and it seams that it isn't a remake of AToTS..but the cover (the one with the window) is definitely from the remake, so they have something wrong at the imdb

[~Ally~]

The Proposal...I have an addiction to Ryan Reynolds and he was predictably gorgeous. Also saw Bruno last night...not for the easily offended but I enjoyed it:laugh:.

[jacobtlong]

The French Connection - a great movie, IMO.

Lethal Weapon 2 & 3 - I hadn't seen them in forever so I decided to raid my brother's DVD collection. Both were funny and better than Lethal Weapon 4.

[sheba41]

Metro with Eddie Murphy....last night....it was nice

[Samantha_]

The Wrestler

[Jake Featherston]

Am I the only one that thinks that The Uninvited is a remake of A Taleof Two Sisters? A Korean horror/drama flick?

That's the 2009 "The Uninvited." It IS a remake of that Korean film. I'm referring to the far more obscure, 2008 film, also called "The Uninvited," which is totally original ie., not a remake of anything.

[Samantha_]

I remember the rant and that is saying something :grinning:

[Felipe]

I watched Angeels and Demons, sorry that I did not like.

[Natjen26]

I've watched three films this weekend..

First Death Race It stars Jason Statham. Some kind of future prison film, but I'm all in for action when there's some hot driving going on (and I know it's all staged, but still), but I've seen better.

Then Friday the 13th Part 3 God, that was just horrible. Not even laughworthy horrible, just freaking waste of my time.

At last Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves As a child I've seen this film a thousand times, it was my Indiana Jones in some way. It was nice as sentiment, but I laughed a lot (most thx to the parody of Mel Brooks 'Men In Tights').

[jacobtlong]

I just watched The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. It's much better than the 2003 movie!

[Raq]

Public enemies with J. Depp and Ch.Bale
Cool but not as good as I thought it would be. Some scenes (like the shootout in the woods) look so crappy that you cant keep from wondering how they convinced Depp to stay in that flick..
But a good flick after

[Jake Featherston]

I last saw a 1996 film called "Hard Eight" (also apparently released as "Sydney"), which I quite enjoyed. Of course, I'm a big Philip Baker Hall fan (you may recall him as "Lt. Bookman" from arguably the single best episode of "Seinfeld" ever).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119256/

[aussiewonder]

I just watched Legally Blonde parts 1&2, really!!:biggrin2:

[Natjen26]

I've watched 'Goldeneye' yesterday for old time's sake.

And today I've watched 'Happy Go Lucky' which was great. It's a very feelgood movie.

[Cowboy]

At The Circus....The Marx Brothers.....loved it.

[jacobtlong]

I watched The Orphan last night with a few friends. I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't filled with over the top violence or an incredible amount of sexual imagery. Some parts of the movie were even funny. Other parts even made me jump. It's worth seeing.

[Jojo87]

Dr Dolittle 5 and Hannibal Rising. They both was a really good movie's

[Perse Jr.]

I watched 21 Saturday night and really enjoyed it. I knew something was up though when Laurence Fishburne's character was shown punching Ben with all those rings on his hand, but the kid walked out of the casino with no extra gashes or bruises, but I didn't know what, and it was a great flick.

[delysa]

I just watched "Push" and was pleasantly surprised about how much I actually liked it. It was trippy. If you're into SciFi and well written action films then I highly recommend this.

[Bryan James]

Two plus two equals four.

Thank you.

Long gays and pleasant frights.

~BJS

[suzieb]

Just saw G Force with my eleven year olds yesterday. It was cute. The kids really liked it. I would not sit through it again though.

Saw Orphan recently - I thought it was worth paying to see. The end was a little long for me and I didn't like that a certain somebody died. The orphan (the little girl) was wickedly frightening though. I give it a thumbs up.

[dawnde]

I just saw "The Ugly Truth", honestly I don't really go for that kind of movie but this one was pretty good because it was so funny.

[dawnde]

Good to know because I really want to go see it.

[jacobtlong]

I just saw the 1932 Scarface movie with Paul Muni and Boris Karloff. I loved Brain De Palma's version, but this movie is almost just as good. Of course Paul Muni doesn't say the classic phrase, "Say hello to my little friend!" But this movie is great if you want to see how the 1983 version borrows from the older one. Not to mention you can watch this one with your kids. It's only PG. :)

[Natjen26]

I've watched Crybaby yesterday, with Johnny Depp.
Thought it was good.

[Natjen26]

This afternoon I watched 'An American Crime' and was heartbroken by it. It was devastating, at the end I couldn't stop crying.
I tend to symphatize easily and this sort of movie gets under my skin. I'm still not my usual self, still feel dazed by it. The fact that it is based on true events, doesn't help.

It has a great cast, with a wonderful performance of Ellen Page (Juno) and Catherine Keener (40year old virgin).
I highly recommend this movie. It makes you think twice before you close your eyes to something.

I caught the Lifetime version of this story as well and it was equally horrific. My mother suggested the movie to me and when I finished sobbing my way through it, I felt so conflicted! On the one hand, it was an extremely well-done movie but at the same time I was crying to her on the phone "Why did you make me watch this movie?!" Heartbreaking and tragic....but I agree...everyone should see this one....

[smooth operator]

I just watched Appaloosa yesterday. Great movie. I love Westerns. I also loved the pairing of Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson. These two guys played off each other very well. And I loved the attention to detail in the costumes, etc. If you like a good Western, then I highly recommend this one.

[Perse Jr.]

Two plus two equals four.

Thank you.

Long gays and pleasant frights.

~BJS

What tha....?

[Perse Jr.]

Last night I watched Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon and it was very, very good. I don't think I moved or blinked the entire movie. The beginning was sad; actually their was a sad tone to the entire movie, but the action and suspense was fantastic.

[Samantha_]

Harvard Beats Yale - The film is a nice take on perception is reality in an interesting story (if you like sports and, maybe, even if you don't).

[sena]

I watched Children five days ago..

[Perse Jr.]

Forgot to mention yesterday; over the weekend I also watched "Carolina" starring Shirley Maclaine (sp?) and Julia Stiles, and also "The Nanny Diaries."

Carolina was a really good movie. There were a lot of stars in it, I enjoyed it and it had a great message. The Nanny Diaries was a bit boring and totally predictable. I watched the whole thing to see how it ended, but I wouldn't recommend it as a "must see."

[Andreas89]

Public Enemies was the last film I had seen.

[jenboxer77]

I watched Obsessed with Beyonce and was surprised. It was pretty good, but not as good as Hand the Rocks the Cradle.
Then Backwoods, cheezy horror, that was okay, but not as good as Timber Falls or Wrong Turn.
Race to Witch Mountain was a good movie for the family. My 10 year old son loved this movie!

[Jake Featherston]

Just watched "Tropic Thunder." Not very good, in my opinion.

Re-watched "Tron" recently as well, which I hadn't seen since like 1984 or '85. What can I say? It doesn't hold up well over the years.

[sena]

I have just watched Donnie Darko ... .. it is a great movie.. No tomorrow , No tomorrow..

[Natjen26]

Last night I watched Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon and it was very, very good. I don't think I moved or blinked the entire movie. The beginning was sad; actually their was a sad tone to the entire movie, but the action and suspense was fantastic.

Thx for the recommendation. I've been putting it off watching it, not sure what to expect.
Going to watch it soon now. :grinning:

[Perse Jr.]

It was a great movie! I really adore Kevin Bacon (even from his Footloose days!).

I just watched Eagle Eye last night starring Shia something (guy) and Billy Bob.... It was pretty good. The story line was interesting, but it dragged on a bit and the ending was a little dull. Good movie all in all though.

[jenboxer77]

I watched 17 Again, with Zac Efron, with my two teenage girls, the story line is old but I was surprised at how much we laughed!

I've watched it today, and liked it indeed. I also don't have trouble eying Kevin on the screen. :grinning:
During my screentime with Mr Bacon, my parents-in-law dropped by, saw pieces of it and have let me know that they were going to watch it tonight too.

Perse, you are one heck of a critic! :cool2:

[sena]

i watched the terminal last night.. it is really funny :)..i had not watched any comedy movie for a long time ..

[Natjen26]

This isn't exactly a movie, but it's something I watched lately, so I'm putting it here..

I've watched season 1 & 2 of Californication, starring yummy Duchovny. I can't wait for season 3, that says it all there. But I always had a thing for David, seen the X-files too many times to be healthy.

Well, thanks! :blush: I'm really glad you liked it!

As for what I watched last night...well, let's just say, "only parts of a very disturbing movie." The Strangers. Whoa. All I can say is, how do people come up with these movie ideas? C r e e p y . . . .

[Perse Jr.]

I watched The Knowing last night starring Nicholas Cage. The first half was great, but I have to admit I got kind of antsy watching the last 1/2 hour. The movie took a turn and progressed in a way I wouldn't have done. Those darn Whisper People! :)

[Natjen26]

Over the weekend I've seen two movies..

Angels & Demons
This was entertaining, but there it also ended. It didn't leave any kind of impression afterwards, and the ending was kind of farfetched and I suspected him to be the one behind it from in the beginning. It wasn't a waste of time, but not worth a second time.

The last house on the left
I thought the beginning was good, the girls who are taken against their will, but as soon as the parents found out, the movie went haywire. I think they could of thought of less gory methods, but then it wouldn't be a slasher movie. And the final scene? WTF? No, also not a keeper.

I hope next weekend brings better movies.. :grinning:

[Jojo87]

Dolan's Cadillac. That movie was great.

[jacobtlong]

The Firm, Carlito's Way, And Justice For All, Das Boot, and Gladiator.

[~Ally~]

Ah Natjen I really enjoyed Last House On the Left, retribution always goes down well with me though:wink2:.

The last two movies I watched at the cinema were Taking of Pelham 123...loved it, and Time Travellers Wife...another keeper in my book. I was surprised with Time Traveller as I thought it would have been very slushy (which usually makes me retch), yet it managed to steer away from attempting to just tug at the heart strings...and of course Eric Bana is a hottie, so BONUS!!

I enjoyed Pelham, yet the ending disappointed me. If I had written it then it would have went one of two ways...neither of which was the actual ending. Ah well, a girl can't always have everything her own way.

[tak113454]

Watched the new Harry Potter movie...
a little disappointing :-(

[Terry B]

The last two movies I've watched (thanks Netflix) are Cinderella Man and A Mighty Heart (based on the book by Marianne Pearl). I highly recommend them both.

[Natjen26]

Ah Natjen I really enjoyed Last House On the Left, retribution always goes down well with me though:wink2:.

Still love me?? :grinning:

[jenboxer77]

I, too, just watched Last House on the Left and at times thought the violence would be too much for me to take, but, overall, I really liked the movie. The family getting revenge in the end and the son getting away to make a new life for himself. The ending scene with the microwave was a little far fetched for me, but I liked all the gore with the hand/garbage disposal scene. Sorry, I like the special effects and blood and stuff. :blush:

[Charms7]

Shawshank Redemption

[dumakeykate]

it's Film4 horror week / season thingy on cable at the moment, they have been showing some corkers... not so good was The Breed - anyone seen it! Killer German Shepherd Dogs attacking a teenage group visiting the island! Predicatble at the least. I watched it with my own GSD, we were both howling at the screen!!! DKK

[~Ally~]

it's Film4 horror week / season thingy on cable at the moment, they have been showing some corkers.

Yeah I have caught some of them. They started out with Wolf Creek last week which is one of my favourites so I had to watch it (for like the 50th time)...wonder what they have on tonight?
I know BBC1 have Needful Things on tonight so I will be watching that later.

Ooh and Natjen...you better believe I still love you baby :cool2:.

Ally honey, I'm so disappointed!
That movie made me so annoyed I had to turn it off.
Rip off of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
:p

I like the gore too, like any other girl. :laugh: But when we saw the hand/garbage disposal scene, me and my husband looked at eachother and laughed. We agreed that we could've handled it less bloody and screamy, but I guess that's why they call it the movies and not real life! :biggrin2:

There's hope for us yet,Ally! :grinning:
I loved Wolf Creek. I only watched it the one time, but bought it on dvd since then, and it's been waiting to be seen again. :cool2:

1408

I watched the film, for the first time, over the weekend.

[jenboxer77]

1408

I watched the film, for the first time, over the weekend.

I rewatched 1408 last weekend and had forgotten how good that movie really is! Loved it!

[Natjen26]

I rewatched 1408 last weekend and had forgotten how good that movie really is! Loved it!

Same here! I even dare to say this time the movie is slightly better than the story.. :oops:

[Samantha_]

I rewatched 1408 last weekend and had forgotten how good that movie really is! Loved it!

I liked it ... and that's a little surprising as adaptations of Stephen King books (with a few exceptions) usually don't work that well. IMHO (and it is humble as I have not seen all of the adaptations).

The film 1408 wasn't exactly like the story. Then again, I don't see how it could have been given the length of the film.

Guess, that's why it's based on the short story; and the story left plenty of room for interpretation.

John Cusack did a good job. The lamp in Samuel Jackson's office didn't look the way I thought it would... Lol

[aliphil]

the reaping...thought it was great i love all that bibical stuff

[Autumnlyn]

I rented The Rocker.

Too funny, talk about reliving the 80's. Recommend it to anyone for a feel good chuckle.

[~Ally~]

I rewatched 1408 last weekend and had forgotten how good that movie really is! Loved it!

Have to agree, 1408 is brilliant. I have seen it far too many times already...but John Cusack is a doll, so I excuse myself this guilty pleasure.

I watched Let The Right One In earlier.
I have been eagerly anticipating this ever since people recommended it here a few months back so I bought the DVD today.
I found it very enjoyable yet my mind is still trying to assimilate an actual formative appraisal, so I will no doubt be spouting on about it properly in a couple of days :eyebrow:.

[IfSoGirl]

julie and julia...i loved it

[Natjen26]

I've seen two movies over the weekend.
The first would be
An affair to remember
First time seeing it and I loved it so much. It's timeless.

The other is something quite different, something oldskool, taking me back to my childhood. I loved that movie then, and afraid that I might still like it today, although now the 'action scenes' really seemed ridiculous, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia. And before I forget I'm talking about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flick made in 1990.

[Jake Featherston]

I watched the movie "Inglorious Basterds." Didn't really care for it. The scene where they beat to death that Wehrmacht officer, because he won't betray the position of the other German patrol, is truly horrific. But my principal complaint is that the movie is just plain dull.

I also watched the made-for-t.v. version of "The Tommyknockers." I'm sure people here could have warned me off of doing so, but at least I wasn't disappointed; I didn't really expect it to be very good, but was hoping for a surprise. I wasn't surprised. The way they altered the last scene, from "warp speed," to an explosion, was extremely lame.

[JosephDurham]

I watched The Last Supper with Cameron Diaz last night. This movie is very good, but I do not believe it was very popular when it came out. A lot of people never heard of it before, but commical, and interesting at the same time.

[Nero]

I went to see District 9 a couple weeks ago... what a creative take on the alien genre! The characters were believable and well-written, the effects were spot on and it left me wanting more. Highly recommend this one!

[Charms7]

Made In America with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson.

[Jake Featherston]

I'm the only person I know who saw that movie in the theater. There must have been some others....(well, there were a dozen or so other people in the theater at the time).

I have mixed feelings about it, but it is a clever little film worth seeing, overall.

Geez-Louise, how could I have forgotten to mention I saw "District 9?" Very good movie, very unlike most other sci-fi movies. Much better than most, for that matter.

And anyone who didn't think that little alien boy was cute must be devoid of a soul. But not cute in a Disneyfied, "E.T." kind of way, but more like cute the way an actual human child can be.

[jenboxer77]

:y: :y: I watched the new Disney Earth movie last night! I have to say I love, Love, LOVED this movie! It documents 3 harrowing stories of Polar Bears, Elephants and Hump Backed Whales! This is a movie that is 5 years in the making! Disney is using cutting edge cameras and technology that brings dynamic footage to the screen! Stunning, beautiful, amazing, captivating, this documentary moved me! That's all I can say! I highly recommend this one for the family!

[JosephDurham]

Watched STORM OF THE CENTURY last night. it never matters the time of year, this movie is always a good one to watch.

[Perse Jr.]

Goodness I haven't been here in this thread for a while! I loved TMNT back in the day!

Over the weekend I watched a bunch! Next, starring Nicholas Cage. It was just so-so for me. Julianne Moore was way too droll, and I could NOT get past Cage's hairdo!

Then I also watched Max Payne starring Mark Wahlberg (I adore him). Pretty good movie, but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Sunday night my kids and I watched Nanny McPhee! LOVED IT! I just love Colin Firth (and anything he's in...Love Actually was fantastic), and the movie had great messages and learning lessons throughout. The ending was so romantic to me too. A must see.

[Perse Jr.]

Interesting! I'm in the middle of the book right now and am really enjoying it. I never like movie adaptations as much as the book itself, but I'll have to watch it to check it out. My MIL liked it, but she said it was too violent for her.

[BRUMMIEYID]

I watched Bolt this afternoon with my daughter.

There's a great line in it where a cat is a little confused with Bolts apparent weirdness and says... "Hey Cujo"

[Perse Jr.]

I watched Pride and Glory last night and it was a really, really great movie. I don't really like Colin Ferrel (sp?), but he was fantasticly crazy. Not a huge fan of Ed Norton either (sorry!), but he played his character amazingly. John Voight was awesome too. I don't want to give too much away...is was A GREAT "cop flick!" :y: :y:

[~Ally~]

500 Days of Summer ~very enjoyable. If you watch it just remember it is NOT a love story. Well written with good actors.

Final Destination 3D ~ I absolutely loved it!! The effects were amazing, I was actually surprised how good they were for a FD flick (obviously we all know the storyline isn't going to be up to much)!
The only criticism is the ending seemed a bit premature, but I would watch it again, just to have the heart beating fast when something flies towards my head :laugh:.

[Natjen26]

I've watched Drag me to hell just now.. and OMG how severely awful that was.. They lost me when she decided to kill her kitten and say a few scenes later: I killed my kitty! WTF but earlier she stated that she didn't want to kill any chickens because she was a vegetarian.:eyebrow: Seriously wasted my time with this one. I blame it on the husband, he persisted. :grinning:

[Kitten]

I watched "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" today. My brother and I first saw this movie at the drive-in movies when we were little. I used to watch it with my girls when they were little. We must have memorized all the songs. "Truely Scrumptious ... your truely truely scrumptious. Never ever ever go away!" Old movies are great! :)

[ponygirl01]

well, last movie i watched was on TV, "Wild Hogs". Seen a few times. Just thought it was cute.

[IfSoGirl]

district 9, it was amazing.

[Perse Jr.]

Over the long weekend I watched Armageddon and Baby Mama.

I have to admit I really enjoyed Armageddon. It had a ton of action and humor even if it was a little corny at times. I loved the suspense and the heroism; and I even shed some tears. :up: :up:

Baby Mama was pretty funny, but I probably wouldn't watch it again. There were a lot of stars in it; Steve Martin was such a weirdo! :)

[Sawney Beane]

Final Destination 4.:sleepy:...boooring..

[Natjen26]

I watched 'Loft' just now, it's a foreign movie, Belgian to me more precise :) and it was entertaining.
It's about five guys renting a loft together where they can bring their mistresses, but then something goes wrong. It has a nice twist in the end.

[bluespider]

I watched Spread with Ashton Kutcher and i have too say i didn t know anything about the movie before, i thought it was one of the usual funny comedy he does and i was a bit surprised, pleasantly surprise i have to say. It s more about superficiality and learning what s real in life apart from a pretty face and nothing more behind it. At least, that s the way i read it. Only thing that left me thinking is How in hell Demi could have watched it, i d be mad as hell seeing my husband with his hands all over someone else!! I know it s only a movie, still....Well done Demi, you have B---S!!!

[bopropadop]

Rose Red. Recently purchased on DVD and well worth it. More comments over in the Rose Red threads...

[Natjen26]

The haunting in Connecticut.

And it was good. I'm a fan of haunted house movies, but have seen so many that I don't expect to be surprised. This movie did. It had a well developed sub plot with the illness of the boy and how the family copes with it.
When the visions started and it was known that he would be rejected a treatment when he had hallucinations, I had a tiny worry they eventually would walk the path so many had before: Someone seeing stuff, but afraid to tell anyone.
But to my surprise and delight it never went that way.

In the end I even cried. I've never cried with a haunted house movie before. :)
So I recommend it.

[constantreader1313]

We watched 'Fast and Furious'- very good and in my opinion Vin Diesel makes every movie beautiful! The other one we watched is 'The Last House on the Left', it was a rough one to watch, especially if you have kids. Don't know if I'd recommend it or not.....:confused::confused:

[Jojo87]

I saw Creepshow 3 and Eden Lake on Saturday. Creepshow 3 wasn't so good. I'd like Stephen's and George's Creepshow better.

[Perse Jr.]

Over the weekend I watched "Jumper" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Jumper was entertaining, even if it was really far-fetched. Samuel L. Jackson was his usual wide-eyed self (don't get me wrong...I love Samuel L.).

"Journey..." was a movie that indulged the kid in me; a fun, fantasy-type movie. Not something I'd watch twice, but it was never boring and had a great "Goonie-esque" type ending.

[Natjen26]

I've watched Terminator Salvation this sunday. It was entertaining, but nothing more. Felt like I've been there and seen that. :)

[dawnde]

I went last nite and saw District 9. It was crazy! I really was'nt expecting the way it went and I also did'nt know that Peter Jackson directed. I would'nt recomend it if you don't like alien movies, these guys were up close and personal, and the main human character was so intense. I liked it for what it was.

[Perse Jr.]

Over the last few days I've watched:

Confessions of a Shopaholic - I really like Isla Fisher (even if I don't like her taste in men), but this movie was a stinker. Just watch a preview and you've seen all the funny stuff.

The Alphabet Killer - Another disappointing movie. Eliza Dushku is a favorite of mine; her role as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was awesome, but I actually fast-forwarded to the end after about 40 minutes, it was so boring!

The Haunting in Connecticut (thanks for the great review NATHALIE!) - this was a great movie, and I too cried at the end. Nathalie gave a good review of it a few posts back; it's hard to explain it without revealing too much. Two thumbs up!

[lpeckyno]

I would'nt recomend it if you don't like alien movies, these guys were up close and personal, and the main human character was so intense. I liked it for what it was.

We saw District 9 at the beginning of the month and I have to say that it was depressing. I really enjoy Peter Jackson's movies but this one left me feeling just about the way I did after King Kong - I left the theatre wondering why I just spent $30 to feel like I got punched in the stomach.

By the way. I can't stop watching your avatar!

[TheHardcase]

Saw Inglorious Basterds about a week ago. Quentin Trentino was right, killing Nazis was never this much fun before.:laugh:

[Terri]

I watched "Crank 2" last night ... to be honest it was a waste of time ... too "Quentin Tarantino" for my liking :oo:

[Natjen26]

I've watched a couple of movies this last weekend.

The first if them was Blindness, of which I recently read the book. Well, again a case of the book being way better than the movie. The movie centered too much on the stylistic way of filming, and instead it should have focused on the plot, the decay of human society when worst comes to turn.

The next evening I watched District 9, and it was entertaining.. It isn't my favourite genre of film, but I did enjoy it. A refreshing film. And a main character, you have to feel respect for at the end.

[jacobtlong]

I watched A Face in the Crowd starring Andy Griffith and Walter Matthau the other day. I was just surfing through channels and found the movie by accident. I thought it was terrific! Andy Griffith gives a truly remarkable performance!

[Natjen26]

The weekend's over and I've seen two films during it.

Grace which is a little disturbing movie about a woman and a pregnancy that's gone badly wrong. The whole atmosphere was eerie, not one I want to see again, but I think it's worth the watch, although the last five minutes were kind of unnecessary, much like the last scene in Last House On The Left.

The Unborn was the other I watched. Well tried to anyway. I turned it off after a good half hour, I just couldn't bear to waste any more time on that flick. Not good, and that's me being kind.

Seems like I saw two movies, related to child birth, must be a hormone thing. :cool2: I'm off to scare the husband :laugh:

[Charms7]

The Man With Two Brains with Steve Martin and Kathleen Turner. It's just a scream every time I watch it! "Man, your drunk tests are hard!" or something to that effect.

[JosephDurham]

Just finished watching The Breakfast Club. What a great movie!

[jenboxer77]

I watched 500 Days of Summer. It is a Sundance Film Festival movie and I thought it was funny and artsy. Many of the movie-go-ers clapped after the movie. It's worth watching.

[Becks19]

Hello, I watched Mirrors and thought it was pretty good. I have to agree about the bathroom scene as well "Ick". Also, just watched the Uninvited and was disappointed with that one. On the other hand The Unborn made me jump a few times.

[scarywriter]

anyone seen Cold Souls with Paul Giamatti? He's such a great actor. It had a fantastic concept and I think was well done.

[AngelZ]

The Wrestler (2008) starring Mickey O'Rourke. It's Mickey O'Rourke like you've never seen him before all pumped up. This movie had a documentary feel to it and it tells the life of a professional wrestler. Behind the steroids, the meds, there is glory but also pain and isolation. It was Mickey O'Rourke at his best and he should have gotten the 2009 Oscar for this one. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Gran Torino (2008) Although I liked the curmudgeonly Korean War vet, Walt Kowalski portrayed by Clint Eastwood, this movie did not meet my expectations. There were scenes where I said to myself, "This isn't realistic." Some of the scenes in the beginning were over the top. I am still a huge fan of Eastwood and I had a good time watching it, but I've seen better Clint Eastwood movies. What was interesting about this movie is that most of the Hmong actors if not all were novices.

[Becks19]

I forgot about the wrestler My husband rented that last weekend. I thought Mickey Rourke did a great job, but overall I thought it was depressing. He sure didn't lead a happy life. I ended up feeling sorry for him.

[nikkij124]

I loved mirrors 10 out of 10 for that movie :eek2:
most recent i watched jennifers body what a load of rubbish :glare:

[Perse Jr.]

I've watched a bunch of movies lately, but the best ones to mention are.....

The Changeling with Angelina Jolie. I'm not a big fan of her movies, but I really enjoyed this one. It moved quickly and had a lot of surprises (though many were predictable). It had heartbreaking undertones, such sadness, but it's definitely a "must see."

Also, a classic, Night Shift with Henry Winkler. I've seen it a ton of times, and love it every time. The colors, the music...great, old movie.

Also saw 88 Minutes recently with Al Pacino. BORING! It tried so hard to not be predictable, that is was overly predictable, and I wouldn't be surprised if Pacino regrets making the film. He seemed a wreck physically, and the supporting cast brought him down (IMHO).

Liked this one too. Predictable, but in a good way!

Last night I watched Last Chance Harvey.

I love Dustin Hoffman and especially Emma Thompson (even though they seem an unlikely pair, that is kind of what worked in the movie), and although it's not something I'd likely watch twice, it was a nice movie with great messages, and I truly enjoyed it.

I agree, it was nice.

Something else that I liked about it - no one in that movie looked like they spent any more time in "make up" than I spend, on average, in getting ready to go somewhere. Thompson & Hoffman are not only two of my favorite actors, but they also look like the people I see every day.

[Jake Featherston]

I just watched "River's Edge" from 1986. The events of that movie occurred about ten miles north of here, in the town of Milpitas. I recall reading about them in the San Jose Mercury News, probably back in '84, but I never saw the movie until today. Its an OK film, but I'm not certain I'd generally recommend it, but I was curious to see the cinematic depiction of events that I recall from my younger days (while at the time, I was so sick & tired of hearing about those events on the local news broadcasts, that I thought the idea of watching the movie was absurd).

[sam peebles]

I watched The Rocker. I like Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) but this movie suuuuuucked. It was like a Jonas Brothers movie, or two hours spent with some cheesy emo band on MTV.

[jacobtlong]

I raided my brother's DVD collection again and finally watched 300 for the first time. I thought it was okay. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

Perhaps I kept thinking about Meet the Spartans and that made me think less of 300 itself....

[Becks19]

I just watched Space Buddies with my daughters. The movie range in this household is very diverse. From cuddly to creepy in a flash. It keeps it interesting.

[Jojo87]

Fear of the dark. That was a very scary and a good movie.

[Natjen26]

Transformers - Rise of the fallen.. Too much of the same recycled stunts, forced jokes and bad acting.
It put me off watching movies the rest of the weekend.

[Turd Ferguson]

Predator.

[ComeUntoSweetDeath]

Predator.
Awesome movie :cool2:

Last Movies i watched was District 9 and Children of the Corn (remake)

[sam peebles]

Adventureland.

This was a cute movie about a kid working the summer at a carnival after graduating college. I think it was advertised wrong--it was depicted as a comedy a la Superbad (it's by the same director), but really, its a coming of age romance with some comedy sprinkled throughout. Two of the stars are very likeable, awkward twenty-somethings. Three stars. It's rated R, but it's not very crude compared to other similarly rated comedies, and features a more mature storyline. Lou Reed is used heavily throughout, and that's always a good thing.

Kristen Stewart is the love interest in this movie, and I gotta admit, I developed a huge crush on her while watching this. I was so disappointed when my friend told me this weekend that she is the star of Twilight. What a shame. In two days that girl made me rediscover that I had a heart, and then she stabbed it with a stake...

How could you Kristen? How could you? :down:

[Lina]

The last movie I watched was Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets. I suddenly found that I enjoyed the stories about Harry. Sure, it was not the first time I watched this movie, but this very time I really enjoyed it!

[jenboxer77]

I saw the new movie Whip It directed by Drew Barrymore and I really liked it. Ellen Page did a wonderful job! It may have helped that there was a huge local crowd of girls from the Sick Town Derby Dames. This little theater that I went to serves beer and wine, so the roller derby girls got a little excited during the movie, which wasn't bad. It made the movie really authentic! ;)

[Jake Featherston]

The last movie I saw was supposed to be a comedy, called "Observe and Report." It was a stupid movie, not very funny, and it left me feeling soiled after viewing. It also seems to glorify police brutality, of all things. My wife mainly only likes comedies, and she didn't care for it either.

[Perse Jr.]

Over the weekend I watched Away We Go with Maya Rudolph. It was an OK movie; the supporting actors made it IMO. There were some really hilarious parts, but I wouldn't watch it a second time.

Monday night I watched Seven Pounds starring Will Smith, and I loved it! Fantastic! I cried so hard after the last scene, and I'm really not sure why. It was a moving movie, and Rosario Dawson was incredible playing a person with congenitive heart failure. It was a sweet, sad, inspirational film, and I plan on watching it again.

Last night I watched 27 Dresses starring Catherine Heigl (sp?) as a "professional bridesmaid" and James Marsden (who I love from Enchanted) as a wedding/wedding party "reporter/journalist." I was not prepared to like this movie, but couldn't find anything else to watch. It was great! Funny, sad, irritating; there were even some laugh out loud moments. B-B-B-B-B Benny and The Jetts......!!!

Monday night, desperately needing something to watch for which thinking was not necessary I chose to watch Nights In Rodanthe

Got only one response to the movie .. Yawn!!

[Charms7]

Secret Window with Johnny Depp

That robe he wears in much of the movie so fits the character!

I just watched Boy A! In one word? SUPERB, but I elaborated in its own thread :)

[DaveN]

Let the right one in- honestly one of the best movies ive seen in a long time

rec.- scared the crap out of me! i usually dont really like the 'blair witch' handheld camera stuff...but this movie was great!

ratatoullie- ...this movie's cool.

step brothers- histerical...so far hasnt gotten old!

Thanks for the review! This movie's been on my radar for a long time, but I just haven't been motivated to watch it. I'll cross it off my list. :)

[Perse Jr.]

Every night when I search for a movie to watch, I go by The Bucket List with an eye-roll. Last night, I finally watched it, thinking it would be predictable and annoying and cliche. It was wonderful. I laughed SO HARD in some places. Jack Nicholson was an absolute riot at times, and yet broke my heart in places too. What a wonderful movie. It was a little cheesy in places, but overall, it had a wonderful message about family vs. solitude and money.

[Rhett]

Just watched Baraka. Incredible. It's a visual documentary - whatever that means. It's 90 minutes of the most stunning images (filmed in high def) from around the world with wonderfully adapted music. Don't know how to describe it well, sadly, and haven't seen any other movies like it. It made my wife cry at one part (poor baby chicks!) and then wake me up in the middle of the night with something else that inspired her.

[Beatbox]

Children of the corn remake.
Boourns!

If you want you can read more reviews on IMDB, but in short.. The movie lacked credibility and may I add, Richard Gere and Diane Keaton kissing was awkward. You would expect more of two such veterans.
If you want a super romantic movie, which I have seen a couple of times, go see the Notebook. Same author, but much better. Actually the movie is better than the book, IMO, the book is way over the top.
Have a great weekend! :smile2:

And if you want something more serious. Seriously go see Boy A, it will leave an impression.

I've got that one in my list too. :) Seems like it's time for me to finally watch it. And I got the same feeling with Bonneville starring our lovely Kathy Bates. Want to see it, but afraid it might disappoint.

[Natjen26]

Okay, I didn't really see a movie, but glanced at two. Luckily I didn't waste anymore time.
The first was Crank 2: High voltage and again only one acronym come to mind.. WTF? Seriously, Jason Stetham, you disappoint me!

The second was Valkyrie. I've read a novel recently dealing with the same slice of history as portrayed in this movie and the book was a real struggle to get through, but worth the fight. This movie on the other hand was sleep inducing. Literally, my husband didn't make it, and was snoring next to me. And Tom Cruise did NOT pull that off, IMHO.

Jeez, I hope I'll see a decent movie tonight. :)

Good for you for watching the original Spanish version, rather than that stupid U.S. remake, "Quarantine," I think it was called. And yes, it was an unusually good horror film, a movie genre that generates a lot of garbage, alas.

[Smikes]

Just watched Lifeforce, a 1985 film about space vampires. I remember watching it on my little black & white TV on a late night horror show (Dr. Madblood in Virginia Beach) and not quite getting it. Watching it again years later I now understand why...the head vampire chick (who is completely gorgeous, I mean, REALLY friggin gorgeous) walks around naked throughout most of the movie, so the edited for TV version lost most of its glue and charm. The creature FX were above par for their day.

Live, love, laugh & be happy,
Smikes

Ah, great minds like the same movies! :biggrin2: I ADORED The Notebook! I've seen it too many times to admit. That kiss in the pouring rain! Oh my goodness, what a fantastic love story. Noah was the ultimate man....*sigh* Those little arrows he left for Allie to follow to her very own art studio. OK, I'm waxing a bit too much here...*sigh*

"I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough...She had come back into his life like a sudden flame; blazing and streaming into his heart. Noah stayed up all night contemplating the certain agony he knew would be his if he were to lose her twice."

[Natjen26]

Okay, quick update while movie night is still in progress. The first choice of the day was a good start.

Star Trek was entertaining, I had a few laughs and the lead was a treat for the eye. ;) Not a masterpiece, but good enough. :)

[dejolane]

The Surrogates and 9

[pawnman]

The latest movie I watched was Zombieland. Not a bad flick for something fun.

Wanted to see Paranormal Activity but it wasn't showing in my area. :(

[Jake Featherston]

The last two movies I viewed were both long-shots that I almost didn't bother to watch, yet they surprised me by being surprisingly good.

The first was "Criminal," starring John C. Reilly. Its a classic conman shell game-type of a film.

The second was "Hamlet 2," which is a freakin' riot. Also, it co-stars Catherine Keener, one of the world's most appealing women.

I highly recommend both.

[Perse Jr.]

Last night I watched The Brave One starring Jodie Foster. It was a little predictable, but I love Jodie Foster. There is one long, brutal scene in the beginning that was a little hard to watch, but the rest was very good.

[Perse Jr.]

Oh man, I almost forget to mention Marley and Me! I watched this Monday night, and it was so good. I'm not a huge Anniston fan, but she was great in this. Owen Wilson is good too, but gosh, won't someone make him get a hair cut!?

It was a really heartwarming story about family, but especially about the love of and for Marley, this awful dog who is bad to the bone (but not really "bad" bad). I cried so hard at the end...OK...enough said.

[Nutty Bavarian]

I saw The Surragates with Bruce Willis last week. Not too bad if I say so.
I've heard alot of people saying Bruce is too old for action, but I think he's holding his own.
At least his characters get hurt in his movies, makes it more realistic IMO.

[Matthew.Degnan]

Changeling, I didn't think i'd like it but it was actually very good.. I've always liked Eastwood's directing.

[Bryan James]

"House of Wax" yesterday.

Normal cable television with commercials...but it was unedited for gore even though it aired at 11:00 a.m. EST. That was a bit strange.

It wasn't a horrid movie, and I enjoyed when Paris Hilton's character took a javelin to the skull. Ahoy! That almost sounds like her other infamous video! A bit different..

[Mr Nobody]

Outpost. Group of mercs escort a boffin to an old bunker. It's a straight-to-DVD effort, but IMO it was OK. Sort of Dog Soldiers meets The Bunker, so obviously not incredibly original. Ray Stephenson (Titus Pullo from 'Rome') is the lead, and is pretty good. Again, IMO.

[constantreader85]

I haven't watched a movie in a while, bit I was watching the second episode of true blood, very graphic and violent but interesting premise and generation kill. I don't know much about HBO, but all their programmes are good, but they are graphic and violent, ie. deadwood.

[Jake Featherston]

Yesterday, I watched 1974's "The Parallax View" (starring Warren Beatty, and several people we've all seen in small parts in other films, without ever picking up on their names, in most cases) which is a political thriller I hadn't seen since about 1980, when I was too young to really understand it, but I always intended to watch it again when I got older, and yesterday, I finally did. And I'd say its very good; definitely still worth watching, 35 years after it came out. In some ways, it seems just as relevant today as then, if not possibly more so. Of course, these days, the quality of political leadership is so low, that there's no one they need to shoot, but if such a person should ever again emerge....

On a vaguely related note, I also saw "Taxi Driver" about two weeks ago, which is definitely one of my all-time favourite films.

Yes, that was much better than I expected.

[Lina]

Yesterday I watched "Orphan". I can't say I liked it very much. It's just a usual movie, a typical thriller. There is nothing special in this movie, so I don't think I would recommend to watch it. No, I don't regret I've watched it, but I guess I will never rewatch it.

[Perse Jr.]

Last night I stayed up wicked late and watched Pearl Harbor. What a fantastic movie (IMHO). It was alarming and moving and although it was super long, I was riveted the whole time. I've never been a big Affleck fan, but I have to say, he was great in this. There was some great humor in the movie too (I couldn't stop laughing, though it wasn't that funny, when Affleck's character Rafe popped a cork into his broken nose). Pearl Harbor was a terrible incident; those lost men in the Arizona...haunting.

Again, we seem to have similar tastes. I've watched that movie a gazilion times, and this time I'm not exagerating. I adore this film and I cry, everytime I cry in the end..

Me too, every single time!!! Fantastic movie.

I watched Zomieland the other day. I had a blast watching it. The four leads were pretty good, especially Woody Harrelson. :cool2: I loved the Bill Murray cameo.

[Nutty Bavarian]

I admit it. I sat down and watched Princess Bride with my niece. I still laugh like crazy at this movie.

"Inconceivable!!" :laugh:

[jnote]

Michael Moore's Capitalism.
Looking forward to seeing Zombieland!

[tak113454]

This weekend I tried to watch the Postman and quit two hours in.
Also saw Takashi Miike's Visitor Q -- anyone seen it?
Also watched a Japanese movie, recent release, called Lalapipo (Lotta People) ... it was alright, kind of funny...

Anyone have any good movie recommendations next?

[tak113454]

Btw, has anyone seen Angel Heart?
What do you think...?

[Natjen26]

I've seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again!
Still loved it!
