The Official What was the last movie you saw??

Yeh the Conan movie was a HUGE dissapointment. I wanted to like it but it just fell flat.

 

My long-time friend Peter Piper agrees with that sentiment.

 

Does this have to be new movies? I watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure last night. For some reason it is nowhere NEAR as good now as it was 20 years ago. Maybe I should have "enhanced" prior

 

Yeah, enhanced for sure, lol. A movie like that these days would mos def be PG-13 or R. It did seem a lot funnier when I was in 10th grade.

 

Watched 'Cowboys & Aliens' last night. One of those movies that wasn't terrible, and wasn't awesome, but entertaining enough to keep me occupied on a Saturday night without feeling like I wasted time. The contrast of a western movie and a science fiction movie was interesting. Worth checking out if you have nothing to do.

 

Finally got around to watching MoneyBall.....enjoyed it (even with the small changes from the actual book)....guess Pitt is getting best actor recognition from it.

 

X-Men First Class....amazing!

 

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Surprising. Really enjoyed it. I've seen them all...even the one where a school bus is used as a machine of war lol. This film is arguably as good as the first one, mostly because of the use of special effects. They let you see the mind of Caesar.

Highly recommended and you don't need to see the previous movies to understand it. This is more of a reimagining than a sequel

 

Just saw two great movies.

The first was RED CLIFF

Over 4 hours long and I could have watched another 4 hours.....it was that good. One of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Epic war movie set in China 200 AD. The cinematography, the music score, the battle scenes (both land and sea) are epic, simply epic. The acting is great. A must see. Buy the DVD. It's a movie you'll want to watch again

The second movie I saw was Kurosawa's Ikiru which is about as night and day from Red Cliff as possible. About an old bureaucrat in Japan who finds out he has cancer and decides to achieve one lasting legacy before he dies....build a park for children. As boring as that sounds, it's one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen and speaks to Kurosawa's brilliance as a director in that you become captivated with the person and his last days. Brilliant story telling techniques are used by Kurosawa in this movie. Great great movie

 

I've had Red Cliff for so long now, and I've yet to watch it. I know it's great, I just haven't popped it in yet.

Also, never suggest someone get the DVD unless there isn't a HD alternative.

 

Ok, just watched Red Cliff yesterday (since the NFL games started late) and it was freaking awesome. It didn't seem drawn out or anything, despite it being over 4 hours long. I thought all the choices for the main cast were really good, and the fighting scenes (large and small scale) were very well done. Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yu played off each other extremely well.

I have a limited amount of knowledge about the Three Kingdoms (Wu, Wei, and Shu) but thanks to the Dynasty Warriors games (and Kessen) I had pre-existing ideas of what each person should look like and how they should act (the games have a surprisingly large historical database on each person), and I thought it was all pretty spot on.

Now I need to see when I can get my hands on 1911.

Edit: Takeshi Kaneshiro who played Zhuge Liang is also Samanosuke from Onimusha = MIND BLOWN.
I don't feel as bad now for thinking he was an attractive man.

 

akira is one of my favorite directors.

 

Just to add to the endorsements for Red Cliff, I saw it about a year ago when I first noticed it on Netflix and I concur that it was a great movie. It's well worth watching for anybody who is worried about the length.

 

4 hours is just too f*cking long.

 

It's two parts. There's a smooth transition between them and an obvious point to take a break.

 

Another Earth. cool premise

 

Watched 'Hostel 3' last night. Starts out in Vegas like 'The Hangover' but ends up badly. It was meh, because Eli Roth had nothing to do with it (he created the franchise). Ending was pretty stupid.

 

Finally saw Apocalypto. Lived up to every bit of hype I'd ever heard about it.

Mel Gibson can do no wrong lol

 

13 - I thought it was pretty good, but it certainly wasn't what I expected going in (not that there's anything wrong with that). Worst part was that you could kind of predict how it'd end.

 

I saw "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead", a documentary about an out of shape Austrailian trying to heal himself by going on a 60 day juice diet. It'll make you want to go buy a juicer (I know I am). The results were astonishing...






He basically saves this truck driver's life.



A truck driver from Winslow, AZ. He not only loses weight but really increases the quality of his life. Very well done documentary, flows nicely and draws you in...

Apparently the key to the juicer diet is that it condenses a ton of micronutrients that would normally take you forever to consume. If you're in midlife and are serious about changing your life for the better, it's a must see.

 

Just saw it...then rewatched it from the hospital scene on...OMG GTFOOHWTS...Greatest movie of all time, You kids get off my lawn!

 

Moneyball and the saw The Losers. Enjoyed them both, though I was unfamiliar with the Losers comic before I saw the movie.

 

I saw Rescue Dawn.
How the hell does Christian Bale lose so much weight and get it back again? And when he regained the weight he got all shredded.

 

Guess you've never seen The Machinist.

Smoking and eating only apples while jogging 10 miles a day. No thanks.

 

I watched 'The Thing' earlier. It's the prequel to the 1982 version with Kurt Russell. If you remember the '82 movie, when the Americans go to the Norwegian camp and find it destroyed, this one explains how that happened. They paid very close attention to details of the Norwegian footage from the '82 movie when they filmed this one, so it explained what you saw in the '82 version. Being a big fan of the previous movie, I really liked this one.

 

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

9/10

 

"Hook" I love this movie due to childhood memories from watching it. RUFIO! RUFIO! RUFIO!

 

Movie: 50/50

I give it 5/5 for quality

I give it 0/5 for the pain it gave me. I felt like I was looking in the mirror for the majority of the movie. Its been affecting me for the past two days. Never had cancer but I have had serious surgery and the relationship withbmy mother is about the same. In a way I wish I never saw it. It has opened a can of worms

Show us on the doll where the movie touched you.

I saw Red Tails.

I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

The Usual Suspects

I've seen it many times, but it's still entertaining as hell each time I watch it.

 

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - I'm not sure if I like the 1st one more or not, but either way I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Watched "In Time" and "The Big Year" yesterday

 

Moneyball 5/5 What's the equivalent to runs on base in football? First downs?
Warrior 4/5 Good story...not just about UFC
Sherlock Holmes 2 and Mission impossible:4 ....3/5 for both movies...both were entertaining.

 

"Ondine" - a cheesy romantic story that I actually enjoyed.
