What movie did you watch last night?

herobear

right so theres a somewhat big list, but havent posted here in awhile:

mysterious skin - absolutely amazing!! im SO in love with this film, amazing story, performances....the lot!!

friday night lights - for a film about something i have absolutely no interest in(american football) this was surprisingly good, great sympathetic actors(especially billy bob thornton) and engaging story(nice little cameo by christian kane too)

palindromes - not too sure what to think of this, it flip-flopped between great and really poor acting and narrative.

trouble with sex - awful, AWFUL irish film, painstakingly bad, with some of the worst dialogue i've ever heard. has some ridiculious sound effect too every time there's sex

strings - fascinating. yes the story is fairly average, but its a fairy-tale after all, and its successful in what its trying to achieve.

its all gone pete tong - like palindromes in that it flip-flops in quality

cocaine badger: wtf ??

i still found it enjoyable enough

brothers - interesting danish film, about a man returning home from war in afghanistan after being presumed dead, haunted by his memories of the POW camp. it's a little too long and the pacing sucks but still pretty good

The Return. A very moving and quiet Russian film that, even though it lacks meat in many ways, is worth a look by foreign film buffs. Lovely camera work and photography, there are many beautiful shots throughout the film.

M. Very impressive German movie from 1931. A real classic and I recommend it even with its flakey acting because it must one of the first serious modern like films made. Very nice.

CrimE

Forrest Gump again

Its about 10 films in one! still a classic. every single one of his adventures are usually by themselves the plots for films.

Legendary film. Amazing performance by hanks

kaimera

watched 'Saw' d'other night.

very very ****ing good movie!!

last night >> season2 of Family_Guy.

LoneGunM@n

Tuesday night - Team America [funny in parts ... cr@p in the rest]

Last night - Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. Dear god, lucas can't write dialogue to save his life. Bar that, fantastic movie [except for the choice of final scene]

koneko

Dodgeball

woot

Sweetness!

Leon. First time seeing it and what a great movie it is

Zukustious

Rounders. Pretty deadly poker movie, though I don't know how many poker films there are.

Rabies

The whole ten yards.
One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Heard it was **** but still watched it.
Painful

OfflerCrocGod

American History X. Excellent movie featuring a strong and very well acted leading role by Edward Norton. There is very little in this movie to complain about (even the slow-mo black and white moments are fine and not that jarring), simply excellent and very impressive.

Easily_Irritated

Fight Club

A bit of Brad and a bit of Ed, ya can't go wrong!

VDe

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.

Unit00

Mr & Mrs Smith. It was good enough.

disillusioned

I watched "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD" - it was hilariously bad.

leeroybrown

La fille sur le pont - A great film. It looks beautiful, it sounds good, it's paced very well and it's got a lovely wit about it. Definitely one of the best films I've seen so far this year.

TerrorFirmer

Assault on Precinct 13

And

The Isle

First one was pure entertainment, worth a watch, as for The Isle, its one of those movies where you have to just sit there and go...."Wtf..?"

Goodshape

I ♥ Huckabees.

Interesting concept, story and very funny in parts but I couldn't help feel that the high concepts were a bit watered down to suit a broader audience (smacks of being just another American teen/indy film even despite it's profound questioning).

Good, but sadly not great. Recommended viewing all the same.

LadyJ

"Goodbye Lenin"
Hilarious!

OfflerCrocGod

Hotel Rwanda. Makes you ashamed to be a well-off Westerner. It also shows you the consequences of all those vetoed votes in the U.N. Very good movie, very good and relevant story; a must see in otherwords.

boogie man

Sin City - it was excellent, especially mickey rourke (and of course jessica alba )

BM.

kaimera

EP3 at the weekend. excellent

HHGttG before that. ...meh

RuggieBear

I had to ensure Oceans 12 on my flight home from lanzarote a few weeks beck and my god it was difficult on the eyes.... was not impressed.

Other than that watched Van Helsing last night (well actually only managed half of it) on the recommendation of a 'friend' who shall never be listened to again!!

Not my thing at all.

Metropolis. The scope of the story and the film was huge and I can't see how silent, black and white technology could have ever done it justice - it's just too constrained as a medium. I watched the remastered version with subtitles which explain what is happening at various parts of the film and also fill in the parts which have been lost to time; without these explanations this movie would have been dire to say the least but with them I could see that this film really was an amazing and impressive work.

This is recommended to all those people who are interested in films as an art form and not for people who purely want to be entertained by modern blockbusters. It makes you thank the Gods for sound Classic

RuggieBear

man on fire....not bad but a bit slow

Rabies

Sin City
Loved it

garred

Hide & Seek...good tension throughout (the little girl is a good actress) but the ending was a big let down.

koneko

Team America, woot

SoupyNorman

RAY

YeatsCounty

The Shawshank Redemption.

garred

Hellraiser - Deader...it was alright

electrode

Watched Pulp Fiction.

QT is a Genius.

grimloch

Watched "Meet the Fockers"

An allright laugh.

OfflerCrocGod

Se7en. Totally brilliant, everything works perfectly and the acting is simply amazing; even with less then 5 minutes spacey is able to make a lasting impression. Freeman and Pitt are great together. Love this film

Easily_Irritated

I watched Gothika, talk about a disappointment. When we were in xtra vision, some random came over and told me it would be really scary. And I stupidly thought deadly, it must be real terrifying.

It wasn't even remotely scary! Huge let down...

Can anyone suggest a real good honest to god scare the bejesus film to watch?

Rabies

Last night: The Shawshank Redemption.
Tonight: Batman Begins

Two good nights of movies

CivilServant

Batman Begins.

Excellent movie, I loved how they delved into the bats character, his persona, his gadgets and his training. But unlike previous movies, they made everything more believable. Eg. they could have that type of batmobile vehicle nowadays. And the villians were believable with Liam Nesson giving another outstanding performance. Top movie, best of the year. 9/10

*Angel*

Last night Body Shots absolutely terrible.

Ishmael

Was watching that movie that was on TV3 or rte last night, not sure of the name.

The one with the pothead that got sent to a prep school, It was pretty good.
"we laughed like bastards", best line i've heard in ages.

Anyone know the name of it?

koneko

Mean Girls. I have to admit I kinda like it.

Thumper Long

Batman Begins

without doubt the best film of 2005, at last batman the way it should be, bale is excellent as is murphy and neeson, rock on

kaimera

Coach Carter - good storyline but Jackson as usual brilliant

grimloch

Watched batman begins a few hours ago, not too bad.

Chinafoot

Dodgeball...............again

OfflerCrocGod

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Umm not really that interesting to be honest I'm not certain why it's so popular on IMDB it just strikes me as a mediocre film with the very gay John Wayne saying "pilgrim" over and over again and a very dull bad guy who says "dude" a lot and doesn't really act that mean. I mean I could have also killed him if I hid in an alleyway while he stumbled about drunk, blah, pass on this folks.

BlitzKrieg

busy day:

1. Howls moving Castle: entertaining, but the plot wasnt brought over well enough


2.Mr and Mrs Smith: The War of the roses with guns and a stupid plot.

3. Ed Wood: Entertaining Burton film, but ignorance is bliss for the most entertainment.

4. All That Jazz: One of the best films i have seen in years, Bob Fosse has captivated me, the ending scene is amazing and the film has alot of energy created by the actual filmmaking and not special effects or CGI.

order of prefence:

All That Jazz

Howls moving castle

Ed wood

Mr and Mrs Smith.




oh and i saw The Passion of Joan of Arc a few nights ago...WOW! powerfull stuff (the back story of the actual film is almost as amazing as the film itself.)

grimloch

Watched Darby O'Gill and the little people yesterday. Fantastic stuff.
