What's the last film you watched?

I watched The Illusionist, Edward Norton, Jessica Biel... It's a period romance steeped in conjuring - more than a little far-fetched but pleasing nonetheless. Rufus Sewell and Paul Giamatti stole the show. Plus a Philip Glass score, always a bonus. :smile:

Just watched this:

I know I should have watched this years ago. It's a lot funnier than I expected, that's mainly the re-dubbing though.

Bruce Lee is exceptional at fighting, he makes it flow brilliantly. Acting isn't his forte.

Can't believe iTunes only has one Bruce Lee film.

Watched Snøhulemannen (The Snow Caveman), a documentary.
http://vimeo.com/user3294786

The Snow Caveman has lived in snow caves high up in the icy Norwegian mountains for 30 years. Like Nietzsche’s Zarathustra he has invented his own morale and hard hitting humour. His life is far from the bourgeois materialistic life in the new Scandinavian welfare states. He is a true ecologist, living amongst the blizzards and reindeer high in the Norwegian mountains.

Very interesting indeed, gives you a look into our society from another perspective.

Just watched the Basil Rathbone version of The Hound Of The Baskervilles. Some delightfully cardboard stiff-upper-lip 'acting'! Could have sworn the villain got sucked into the mire at the end - must be confusing it with another version. :ask:

Flags of Our Fathers

Deserves another watch, I think. I was tired so I didn't give it my all, but it is Clint Eastwood after all so I'll need to try it again sometime.

Course, ya gotta follow it up with Letters From Iwo Jima. Otherwise you've only done half the job. :dopey:

Have you seen The Prestige? Another period romance steeped in conjuring, with a wonderfully twisty plot and dash of sci-fi thrown in for good measure :-)

No Philip Glass score, however it does have David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla. How could you go wrong!?

Untraceable. I'm watching it now.

I see Lynn Redgrave has died.Here's the news item.

Just saw Kick-ass. It was kick-ass.

It's interesting how the Hit-Girl and Big Daddy have some of the funniest moments, but you find out they're a fucked up bunch.

Summer Hours on blu-ray. Beautiful film about the family unit as it moves through time, examining the gaps and bridges between the generations; how we are forced to give up our physical ties to memories yet move into the future with hopes of collecting new ones. 8/10

The Squid and the Whale.
A movie about parents divorcing and how their two sons handle it. My parents are still married, so I don't have any personal experience with divorce, but I watched people around me go through it.
The film, I thought, was beautiful, and kind of sad.

Yes, a much better film than The Illusionist. Big fan of Christopher Priest, so I'd read the book of The Prestige years earlier. Interesting changes made (Priest has written another book about the transition process), notably the dropping of the modern framing tale; but good decisions, excellent movie.

I got out the DVD of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Fun, but what's with the purple Hutt that talks like Truman Capote? I mean what the fuck?

Onyx8 · **#894** by **Onyx8** » May 05, 2010 5:05 am

I have so not read 90 odd pages of my esteemed co-forumites wonderful movie tastes. Perhaps I will in a loose moment. However, I watched:

Baby Snakes

I had forgotten just how talented, and intelligent, and outside the box that man was. He is sorely missed.

Put up with the indignity: get your prostates checked. (all who have them...)

That movie was a disgrace. Apart from the fact that it looked like a two-hour intro-sequence to a N64-game that Ahsoka-character really got on my tits. "Skyguy"... :nono:

Bloody hell.

I've never seen that one. I boycotted it after the first one was so shit. I only saw the third one after lots of people told me "No. This one is actually good". It was ok.

I finally watched "District 9", which I thoroughly enjoyed.

No it wasn't.

It wasn't that bad comparatively. It was better than The Phantom Menace (but so is necrosis) but far short of any expectation.

The Dead with Talk, starring Anne Heche, boring.
