I saw Coraline last night. Superb animation but the story is Alice in Wonderland with a few modifications.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Paranoid Park with a friend last saturday. I'll give it a 6/10. Not special at all.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

i really enjoyed that movie when i saw it!

last movie i saw was The Inside Man

Re: Last movies you saw
 

What did you think of it?
I was a fan.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Pearl Harbor. 7/10. Way too long... and where were the kamikaze attacks??

Re: Last movies you saw
 

not anywhere near that stage in the war yet.....


They only started that when the realized that losing the war was the probable outcome.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

well we had to write the paper on how each of us would have went about preventing the spread of infection, using techniques that we learned, like PPE's, Personal Protection Equipment (i think? i don't pay much attention, too boring of a class) and things along those lines.

and, it was the second time that i had saw the movie, but i thoroughly enjoyed it, even the second time around. i actually paid close attention to what exactly was going on in the movie, and i loved the different twists and turns in it, it made it stand out.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just watched Let The Right One In. Really, really good. 9/10 probably. It's just a very good film.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Germy, do you watch any other European movies? I'd like to know what people here think about them.
Not that I watch them so often... 80% of what I watch is from Hollywood.

Oh and Fox, thanks, didn't know. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I'll watch any European or foreign film which is recommended to me or that is easily accessible here in the States.

It mainly just depends on what kind of becomes a "hit" over here, and I say that lightly because despite how many awards Let The Right One In has won, last time I checked it was still only playing in about 6 cities in the whole country.

Some classic European films I enjoy are Der Letzte Mann (The Last Laugh), Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel), Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) which is one of my favorites.

Of course I love Amelie, that's a great one. In the end, I still end up watching mainly American films, but subtitles don't bother me in the least and I'd say the % of quality European films is much higher because if it makes it to theaters over here, it's probably pretty good or else no one would have picked up the distribution rights.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Wow. Good call. I went to check your facts because I know kamikaze attacks date pretty far back in Japanese history, but yeah I guess Pearl Harbor was kosher.

It's like...I'm learning stuff on GT, lol.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Kind of a WWII whore :P

Though I am interested in WWI and Vietnam also.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched Outsourced last night. Really great movie, I enjoyed it throughly.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yeah Outsourced is a great happy end movie. Kind of like Amélie, Garden State and Im Juli.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Lakeview Terrace and Step Brothers on wednesday when i stayed home from school. I thought Lakeview Terrace was decent, Samuel L. Jackson does a good job as Abel Turner. Step Brothers was pretty funny, the part of the movie when the two "boys" were sleepwalking was hilarious.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

And I saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. Another great one, but somehow it wasnt quite as good as I was expecting...I dont know, maybe I had this one too hyped up in my head? Still great though.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Slumdog Millionaire today as well. I'd agree with you in that it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to me. It was pretty well done in many ways, but it's definitely not the best movie I've seen this year. It kind of reminded me of a more tame and not as good City of God in it's own way. Anyway, I was glad to see it.

I also got done watching Bottle Rocket a little while ago. It's Wes Anderson's directorial debut starring Luke and Owen Wilson in their first roles as well. I liked it a lot, it kind of goes well and shows Anderson's style. Probably not his best, but pretty damn good for a first film...

Oh yeah, I also watched Zach and Miri make a Porno last night...It was okay. It had be laughing out loud a few times but the story was just silly. I know I shouldn't expect much more from a film with that title, but Kevin Smith has shown better before.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw He's Just Not That Into You. It was pretty awful....or maybe it wasn't. Women's only goal in life is to get treated like shit until someone will marry them, right?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw The Interpreter. Was pretty good, 7.5/10 or so.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Madea Goes to Prison.
Sure someone will make a joke, but er it was decent.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Street Fighter Alpha.

Some nicely animated fights.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Dead Like Me: Life After Death

Meh. It was nice to reenter that world again but the story wasn't so great and the best character wasn't even in it. No waffles either.

It did have Desmond from Lost...but was weird hearing him talk for so long without saying "brotha" once.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

A few days ago I saw Happy Go Lucky. It's a pretty cute British film and it really got me in the mood to back to the UK (where I'm reporting from now, whee)

A few hours ago I watched the Wrestler. I expected to like it and I did. There was nothing bad about it, really.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

gran torino + slumdog millionaire + friday 13th = win

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Mononoke Hime. 8/10 Great atmosphere/world, nice story, good drawing.

Across The Universe. 7/10 A musical-drama thingy loaded with Beatles songs.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was just what I expected, a go-nowhere romantic adventure. It was pretty good..

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Doctor Who the movie

Really liked that Doctor. Shame didn't continue into the tv series.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just saw Slumdog Millionaire with Fox.


Was quite good. Reminded me alot of City of God, but not as good.



As well I found an extended scene on youtube from the movie. See if you can guess where it was from

Re: Last movies you saw
 

it was a ripping good yarn I must say

Re: Last movies you saw
 

That peanut butter fetish is so creepy.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Still amazing, one of the best movies I have ever seen in terms of both story/animation. One day I will show my kids The Nightmare Before Christmas, and they will probably think I am a weirdo. In fact, by then The Nightmare Before Christmas will probably be so old and outdated and yeah....

The Pineapple Express

Okay...movie was pretty bad, but I laughed my ass off at a few parts.

It wasn't Cheech and Chong or Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle though.

Actually, Dude Where's My Car was better than the Pineapple Express. But it was still good enough that I would recommend it as a renter.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Wonder Woman

It is a fairly good movie (I fell asleep during the middle, I think not because boring movie but because it was like 4am so eh)

From the parts I did see, awesome fight scenes and cool movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

We went on a mini Bale-a-thon on the tour bus and watched both The Prestige and the Machinist.

They both had their good points and I liked the Machinist a bit more though I wasn't completely blown away by either.

We also indulged in the Wicker Man remake. Now THAT was absolutely horrible. Nicolas Cage should be ashamed of himself.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Acting aside, I thought that it was really creepy. I hated that movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Slumdog Millionare. The romantic part was a bit weak, but I loved what it tried to get across.. (or what I got from what it tried to say :)) 9/10

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw Planet Terror for the first time this past weekend. Ridiculously stupid fun movie. But I love those ridiculously crazy shoot everything in sight action flicks.

Saw The Wrestler too. Amazing, especially since named after the Springsteen tune.

And Slumdog, I enjoyed, but I didn't think it was worth ALL of the awards it got. But meh. That's me.

In other news, gonna catch the midnight release for Watchmen. I read the comic, and although I know they altered the plot a little bit, I want to see how it did.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Das Leben der Anderen. 8/10. Wow, what a time that was in east Germany.

We started Mean Creek, but halfway we got bored and ffwed through the rest of the movie. From what we saw, I'd give it a 5/10. Too much swearing and dirty humor.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I always meant to see that but haven't got around to it. Thanks for reminding me :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Dark City. Can't believe it took me this long to finally watch it.
