Ondine - My sister had this one. It was ok for a love story.

7th Voyage of Sinbad - Remember that crazy stopmotion!! Adventure. I liked The Golden Voyage of Sinbad more though. Going to watch Eye of the Tiger next.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Shutter Island. I suppose the fact that I knew there was a twist ruined it for me, because I spent most of the movie trying to figure out what the twist was and if my guess was right (it was). Still, a well done movie and very entertaining. Scorcese has become the master of formalist cinema, taking up the gauntlet from Kubrick.

For a great example of this, watch The Aviator. My favorite Scorcese film.

The Crazies:
-I was expecting something entirely different from this movie. I enjoyed the direction they took it in, and how they portrayed it. I'd advise a solid rent.

Hot Tub Time Machine:
-This movie had some pretty hilarious moments mixed with a lot of "enh" and a little bit of bromance inbetween.

The Box:
-It's a fun movie to watch if you're not one of those people who likes answers. Even then, it's not that bad. It's made by [I think] the same guy who made Donnie Darko, so that says a lot about it right there, in a way.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The A-Team
Wasn't as action packed as I expected. And I don't think ever seen every ep of the show, but do they ever explain the crime? Always thought not knowing was cooler.

The Losers
Pretty similar set-up to the A-Team but most of the characters tend to have more fun with it, the action was okay, but felt for a comic book movie could have pushed it more.

Cars-
Finally saw the last Pixar movie, and it was okay.I think the problem lies in the fact that Lightning McQueen isn't a likable character, and I know he grows and develops over the course of the movie, but I feel like most Pixar movies give you characters to like and then throw obstacles in their way for you to feel sorry for em.

Mystery Team

Funniest movie I've seen in a long time.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Kate & Leopold. 6/10
A romantic comedy with a time-travelling twist. Pretty average.

Toy Stor 3. 9/10
Great movie, much better than expected. Maybe it wasn't as funny as it could be, but the story/theme was great.
I saw it in 3D btw, but it didn't add much.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

In Bruges

Loved this movie. Just the right amount of cursing, violence, and humor.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Book of Eli:

It was the second time I've seen it, and I still really enjoyed it. I've seen it with 5 different people so far, and all 5 have liked it a lot. The only negative about the movie is that it has religion in it. To which I say "Tough titties, so did Indiana Jones." I suggest watching this movie. Suspend belief a little bit for a couple hours, and enjoy a good movie.

30 Days of Night:

I didn't really like the movie. The only good part of it was towards the end, and it involved Josh Hartnett's fist, and a Vampires face.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ya, Book of Eli entertained for sure. Oldman is pretty good at villainy.

I just saw Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2. The first one was pretty good. By the end of the second I was getting tired of the donkey laugh. I enjoyed 1 more than 48 Hours.

Safety Last (1923) - Cool ancientness. I liked the Battleship Potemkin more.

I liked Duck Soup (marxbros) and Monkey Business was good. I'm going to see A Night at the Opera soon.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Usual Suspects. First time seeing it. Great cinematography.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

RocknRolla

Quite liked...though there hasn't been a Guy Ritchie film I haven't.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Swept Away?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Funny enough that's the only one I haven't seen. And it looks like it should stay that way.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I've seen Swept From The Sea and Cast Away, but not Swept Away...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Whiteout. 6/10. I'd rate the first hour with a 7, but the ending came too sudden and was boring.

D-War. 6/10. Fun monster movie. :) Great to see a huge serpent ravage a city. Sadly the story was sillly, the acting sometimes bad. Oh and it has a lot of clichés.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I Love You Phillip Morris

I quite liked it, but after reading up on his exploits, some of his actual cons seem much more interesting than how they were handled in the movie. Nice to see Jim Carrey again. Can't recall the last time I saw a movie with him.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

A few recent watches...

Kick-Ass: I had wanted to see this in theaters but never got around to it. Pretty great little twist on the superhero movie. The action scenes were fantastic. Fun movie.

Night of the Living Dead: I'd been meaning to watch this forever and I'm glad I finally did. I liked this even more than I thought I would. There's great tension and the depressing nature of the ending is satisfying in its non-Hollywood way.

In the Loop: Incredibly funny political satire. It's constantly moving and the dialogue is hilarious. Gives a pretty interesting take on what may be going on behind the scenes leading up to a war.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Toy Story 3: I Think Pixar enjoys making people cry.

Meet the Robinsons: Hyperactively fun and positive.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

"Bigger Stronger Faster"

Hilarious and informative documentary on the use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs, as well as other commonly and not so commonly used drugs, in American society. Definitely worth the watch if you're into lifting, sports, or just curious about the insides and outs of the steroid debate.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

Some great fighting scenes. Definitely the best superhero fights outside of comics. Um, plus a cute Supergirl shopping montage.

And if have no intention of seeing the movie, can at least watch a couple of the fights:

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Being John Malkovich

Wow. I Can't believe I've never watched this before, considering it's by one of my favorite filmmakers. It was incredible. I loved Inception, but this was like a more well-thought out Inception. I'm actually not sure if these films are comparable, but they definitely connected in my brain while watching them.

<3 Charlie Kaufmann + Spike Jonze

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I really can never remember who recommended what, but to whoever recommended Swimming with Sharks, that was a solid movie.

It kind of made me think of Ari Gold on Entourage, but in a much darker manner.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Lilo & Stitch. 7/10 Fun family movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Batman Gothic Knight
Probably the best batman movie.

Coco Chanel & Igor Travinsky
I didn't care much for this one. Some great directing touches but overall the movie fell far short of the opening scene's drawn out magnification.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I think you mean Gotham Knight unless you are talking a fan made movie?

Anyhow, Disney's Princess and the Frog its nice to see Disney get back to what made them Disney. Such a fantastic film.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Manhattan

My Netflix queue is full of some Woody Allen I've been meaning to catch up on. Manhattan looks beautiful and is obviously one of the classic Woody Allen flicks. I understand the love/hate on Allen, but I find his movies pretty charming...At least the good ones, he's got a lot of bad ones too. Manhattan is a good one.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Manhattan is my favourite Allen film.
I actually quite liked What's New Pussycat - Allen's first screenplay. It's hard to dislike anything involving Peter O'Toole though. It's got that crazy 60's inhibition, boundary pushing kind of flavour that devolves in its revelry until the last frame. don't hurry to see it unless you like silly 60's humour. A funny homage to Chaplin made it worth it to me.

dunno why I was thinking Gothic Knight. The opening part done by the Mind Game guy was f'ing brilliant. Love his flexible style.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Termininator Salivation. 6/10.
Wasn't as bad as I expected, but still not a worthy Terminator movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Science of Sleep

Took me a while to get to this one for some reason. I love the dream world that Gondry creates. Some of that stop animation was just so beautiful that I wish there was more of it. Still a really good, heartbreaking, but funny movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Did you watch it in French?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Well, the movie switches between French, Spanish, and English throughout. I obviously had subtitles for the French parts.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Love Exposure - Japanese flick that I absolutely loved. 4 hours. Felt like 2. It's over the top. Japanese cults and voyeurism. Filmed with a handheld so there's a poorly lit indie feel but it works wonderfully. The original cut was supposedly 6 hours long! Studio required a shorter film so the director took it back to 2 hours...but it didn't make sense so it got rolled out to 4. I really enjoyed the alternative cultural take on Christianity and cultism.

Tai Chi Masters - Produced by Jet Li. Set in old China, rebels vs army. There's some cool action. Michelle Yeow from the early 90's!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ah ok I forgot about that. I was just afraid you watched a version with voice-overs, although that's probably not your style.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Get Him to the Greek

Hilarious. Sean Combs is a comic genius.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Twilight: New Moon.

Wasn't as bad as expected. It had transforming werewolves and some decent fights, but all the emotional stuff was just stupid, boring and too obvious. Oh and Jacob > Edward. He looked so bad in this movie that I wondered if the actor was on drugs.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Social Network.

Not as great as I had hoped, but still pretty good. A lot of quick, witty dialogue and general intrigue. A pretty fascinating thing to be the world's youngest billionaire. Dude is a year older than me. Crazy.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Zombieland

Pretty funny that Eisenberg says the best thing about living in Zombieland is the lack of Facebook statuses and now he's playing Zuckerberg.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

A Streetcar Named Desire

Pretty great in that classic Tennessee Williams as cinema kind of way. I hadn't actually read this play, so some of the stuff the censors take out is kind of confusing and important. It's good to know a couple of those details now. Young Marlon Brando is pretty great...Vivian Leigh too.

Waiting for Guffman

Hadn't seen this for whatever reason. I've always been a fan of the Christopher Guest stuff so I assumed I'd like it and I did.

The Cove

Oscar winning documentary about dolphin slaughter in small Japanese town. Pretty enlightening. I didn't know that most of this was happening.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

How graphic is The Cove? Would I as a vegetarian want to see it? I've heard good stories about it, but there's stuff I just don't want to see.

Transformers 2
Pfff what a weird movie. Boring, illogical and confusing story. 10% of this movie is in slow motion... Seeing those huge robots fight is cool, but not thrilling enough for 2h30.
Oh and I thought Megan Fox was no big deal.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

There are a few very graphic scenes where the water is literally turned red from all the blood. Otherwise it's a lot of talking heads and happier dolphin scenes. If you can get by the gruesome stuff it's certainly worthwhile to watch.
