What's the last movie you've seen?

[Gustaf]

Saw New Year's Eve in the cinema, sadly enough. The things one does for women. 

Ouch, bro.

Yup. It was made up to me though. And I made clear it wouldn't be repeated.

[Insula Dei]

Also saw The Fearless Vampire Killers by Polanski on DVD. Pretty weird.

I think it's allright, but it has some really annoyingly slow/clumsy  scenes. I've seen it 3 or 4 times, though, so I may just be overtly annoyed when the awkward snow chase returns for the umpteenth time.

I finally saw City of God the other day.  It was excellent.

[Sibboleth]

Unrelated, but a red avatar now?

[patrick1]

Unrelated, but a red avatar now?

Yeah, I figured I would be unambiguous about where my 2012 loyalties are. I can't stomach Romney and co.

[bullmoose88]

Fast Five

Unrelated, but a red avatar now?

Yeah, I figured I would be unambiguous about where my 2012 loyalties are. I can't stomach Romney and co.

Another sign of the impending apocalypse...

I'm not sure what is a sign of the apocalypse, my fresh red avatar or that they actually made 5 fast and furious movies

I watched Margin Call.  Very well acted. It was a simple "plot" but I really enjoyed some of the more subtle juxtapositions.

[Californian Tony]

J. Edgar

Really excellent.

[Secretary Polnut]

The Iron Lady... great film, the left might hate it because it doesn't demonise her... but doesn't sugar-coat what she did either.

Streep is magnificent.

[5280/East California]

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

[Gustaf]

Bridge Over The River Kwai. Rewatched it with half an eye while studying to keep my flatmate company (he was watching it for the first time). Jolly good.

[Old Europe]

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

Some of the acting was a little stiff and the ending is somewhat predictable but the action is great. It also contains one solid "WOW HOLY F.UCK" scene.

Let me guess, the girl at the ice truck?

Assault is an interesting movie for the 70s, because it features a black guy, a convicted murderer, and a woman as proto-action heroes.

[CathKhan]

The Iron Lady... great film, the left might hate it because it doesn't demonise her... but doesn't sugar-coat what she did either.

Streep is magnificent.

So you'd recommend it?

[Jbrase]

The Devil Inside.

This was the first time I've ever seen the entire theater booing at the end of a film. I tdidn;t think the movie was too bad, but the ending is just awful.

Let me guess, the girl at the ice truck?

You got it!

[State Comptroller Atkins]

Ocean's Twelve. Not bad for a sequel, but it was kind of incoherent, especially in the latter part when Bruce Willis showed up (as himself).

[Gustaf]

Showed my parents Mulholland Drive.

[Secretary Polnut]

The Iron Lady... great film, the left might hate it because it doesn't demonise her... but doesn't sugar-coat what she did either.

Streep is magnificent.

So you'd recommend it?

Sure

[Keystone Phil]

I saw The Iron Lady last night to a packed theater of...three (myself and two friends). The movie was ok. They filmed the movie in far too many separate flashbacks. I could understand beginning the movie in the "present" and having one, long flashback but there was too much jumping around and way too much of an emphasis on Thatcher in the "present."

Funny enough and totally coincidentally, the theater was in the small community of Cardiff. I think our Welsh miner friends would find that appropriate. 

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951, w/ very well built Nancy Guild)



and

The Late John Louisiana (1970, Hawaii Five O, Season 3 Episode 9, w/ Marianne McAndrew as guest star)

[ChairmanSanchez]

The Graduate

I'm 45 years late, but it was an awesome movie.

[angus]

Syrian Bride and Ratatouille.

The boy and I are off for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, so I got us a couple of movies to watch.  Syrian Bride for me, the Rat for him.  Now, we're spicin' it up with GH and PH (because sometimes the letter F just ain't enough, according to The Electric Company.)  Oh, yeah.

[© Tweed the Younger]

watching Moneyball right now.  somewhat hard for the baseball geek to enjoy, especially when at my computer and able to Google sh**t to fact-check, get a jump on the resolution of the upcoming scene, etc.

[angus]

I just picked up Divine Intervention.  Six to eight inches predicted tomorrow for northeastern Iowa, and my administrators are wimps.  They'll shut us down if we actually get that, so I got myself a movie to enjoy at home.  I'll let y'all know how it works out. 

[Gustaf]

Riff-Raff. Very good, manages to very, very narrowly avoid being too preachy. I preferred the lighter, more person-oriented (more bourgeois I suppose ) style of Looking for Eric though.

Guess I want to be more able to ignore the plight of the working man.
