Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I saw Casino Royale last week [late, i know] It actually was a lot better than I had initally thought it would be... :]

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Casino Royale was quite possible one of the best Bond movies I've seen in a long time. The actor (his name has slipped my mind) is very good in playing James Bond, lady man with a license to kill:cool: . My favorite scene was the free running part, that, or the torture seen... I could feel the blows on that one *cringes*

To keep on topic, a movie I just finished (for the 100000000th time), was V for Vendetta. Awesome movie. I highly recommend it.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

just recently i watched Borat and did not think it was worth the money to go watch it in theaters

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

There is a TON of lawsuits and controversy over that film... I heard it was funny, but there's a lot of offensive material. Just a warning.

Sliding Doom into the DVD player. As a fan of the game, this movie rocks.

(it even stars The Rock)

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

"Who killed the Electric Car"

Gotta love Documentaries.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I watched Blood Diamond on Sunday night with my girl friend and it was a really good movie great action scenes and is pretty historically accurate according to a co-worker that watched the movie and was also a medical relief worker where and when the movie is made to look like.
The best part is after watching where diamonds can come from my girl friend doesn't want anymore so now I can finally afford that new iPhone!
Great Movie 5 stars by my vote.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

last night i watched Clerks II ^^

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Has anyone seen Curse of the Golden Flower? I love foreign films, and this was one of my favorites. Great drama about the Imperial family; it was amazing! Lots of blood and nightmare-inducing scenes, though o___o.

It's not playing in very many theaters because it's subtitled... But everyone go give it a try anyway! ♥

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Night at the Museum

Meh, it was alright. I wish they had decided on their audience so they could have focused the jokes better. If they were aiming for the kids then we had an incredible load of unnecessary back-story-love-triangle-poor-divorced-dad. If they were aiming at a more mature audience, then the gags with monkeys peeing are completely uncalled for. It's a very unique plot, I was just disappointed that they didn't do more with it.

That stuff aside, it's a fun plot (w/ holes), and there are towards the end of the movie there are some genuinely funny scenes.

===
Bad guys speed off. "Oh great! How are we going to find them now? They could have gone anywhere!" They rack their brains out, argue, and then get a brilliant idea, rush back into the museum enlist the help of indian guide Sacagawea. They rush back outside. Looking at the tracks she says "They traveled north... obviously they were in a great hurry... and then they crashed and continued on foot..." "WOW! You're amazing! How did you possibly figure that out just from looking at the tracks?"

(Camera pans to the left where a black van has crashed about 200 feet away, Sacagawea rolls her eyes)
==

Final score? 6/10

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Last night I watched Children of Men, it was a very good movie and a even better book I don't want to give away any of the story so you should just go and see it your self.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Over the weekend at our church retreat, we watched What Dreams May Come. I would recommend anyone to see it (even though it might confuse you a little, it's still great!).

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Finished "10 Things I Hate About You" and a few others. It was good, but it was a chic-flick. Not saying that chic-flicks are bad, but it's ackward if you're watching it with four other guys... no girls were present... And now I ask myself, "WHYYYYY?!?!?!":ahh:

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Just watched Invincible, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans, and Little Man w/ some of my friends form football last night

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I just watched The Gods Must Be Crazy 1 and 2. They (especially the first one) are really funny.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Finally watched the Pirates Of The Carribean 2 (Dead Man's Chest) which I bought the day it came out but never watched until last night.

I didn't like it as good as the first one. idk...

And I hate movies that don't end and leave it wide open for another one when I forget they are making another one.

I should have just waited till the other one came out and watched them together.

Blahhh.. Oh wells.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

The Aristocats.

No, I'm not joking. A friend and I had a craving for some old-school disney. You know, the kind where you can appreciate the art behind it? Yeah, that.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Terminator. And Elgin, I didn't like the 2nd Pirates as much as the first, but then again, do you like "The Empire Strikes Back"? :D

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Well I used my vacatio time after the champs (and upon my return home) to catch up on some of my moviegoing.


300
I saw 300 with my little brother Byron (who hated it). It reminded me alot of Black Hawk Down. Good looking and exciting with too many charceters to keep track of and outside of the king and queen none of them stood out. The Pesians (just like the Somalies in Black Hawk DOwn) were nothing more than props to be disposed of. C

Grindhouse
Part I Planet Terror was silly as all get out and familair (Resident Eveil anyone?) but it was fun. The second movie Death Proof was better made but it was very uneven and made an awkward transition form one set of charcters to a whole other set of characters. It was like the movie was starting all over.
The previews were amusing but nothing special. B-

Hot Fuzz
A quite amusing and clever parody of American action films. From the one liners to the over the top violence (and it's quite violent). It's only crime is it runs a bit long. B+

Ghost RIder
Probably one of the most bland movies I'vs have ever seen. Not bad. Bland. Cage is just going through the motions. Eva Mendes character and performance is so one note she could've been named Love Interest. The effects are cool looking but pointless and the action is shrug worthy.
Meh. D

The Host
A loopy oddball monster movie from Korea that is pretty scary, has good visual effects, strong characters and surprising emotion.
I reccomend it. B+

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

ok you gave grindhouse a better grade then 300...wow...i know its your own opinion but all i have to say is wow..haha

well if you want to go as far back as 300 here it is:

smokin aces
23
zodiac
black snake moan
300
hot fuzz

those are just in theater movies that i watched, my family has ondemand for comcast cable and theyhave hundreds of movies so if we want to do that, oh and there was like 2 days were thats all i did..i watched movies all day, (that was last week by the way):

revenge of the nerds
blade
stealth

serenity
v for vendetta
sean of the dead
cool hand luke
encino man
titan a.e

and that is just the tip of the ice burg
haha

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I saw Smokin' Aces on my 40th birthday. Confusing Mayhem would've been a better title.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Norbit. :D

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

The Condemned

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Friday night I saw Spider-Man 3 in IMAX...It was awesome

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I just watched Dr. Strangelove again... A true classic! Who doesn't love a spoof of the Cold War?

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Gentlemen, there’s no fighting in the war room!

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

28 Weeks Later - Was good, but doesn't compare to the original. I'm looking forward to a third movie hopefully, Danny Boyle says he already has an idea of where he wants to go, so hopefully FOX will buy in.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Alright saw a few movies...

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon the Movie Film for Theaters-Definitely for fans of the show only. It is mind numbingly stupid, and I loved every minute of it.

Spider-Man 3-Not as good as SM2 but better than 1. It is better than most movies though. The scene where Peter Parker is walking down the street, was the worst part of any of the three movies.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I watched Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny last night and is set to queu again right now. It is absolutely hilarious, if you don't mind the f-bomb. People that know me personally know that I've been known to drop a few in my time... religiously. I should probably break that habit.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I was dragged to that movie against my better judgment, and thank god I didn't pay for my own ticket, or I would have been unhappy. I thought it was totally unbearable.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I just watched The Ringer, something to kill the time

Some great movies that are out to watch now are
Blood Diamond and Children of Men

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

On Sunday I went to see Knocked Up alone... It was the greatest movie I have seen in a very long time. Non-stop laughs throughout the entire thing.

I also watched Mr and Mrs Smith for the first time lastnight after midnight... I have owned it since it came out. LOL. It was pretty good.

I forgot to mention, I got carded at the movie theaters when I went into Knocked Up... that's a first.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

The Importance of Being Ernest- pretty funny, takes a little bit to get into it... but totally worth it

But in theaters... the last two movies I saw were Pirates #3 and Kickin' it Old School

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

the illusionist............pretty cool stuff.:cool:

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

The World is Not Enough (James Bond).

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Yes! That is a very good movie. If you liked that, then you should see The Prestige... I think that is an even better movie.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I'm a fan of the show and the movie annoyed me endlessly.
I prefer them in short, concentrated doses.
90 minutes of them are too much.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

So, I've gone to the cinema more times this year than the rest of my life combined. The best film I've seen in 2007? BEE MOVIE!!!! :) The worst? That's tough. How about The Comebacks. The only way a person could possible enjoy that movie is if they were deaf, blind, and psychologically addicted to really bad popcorn.

BTW, hooray for the person way up there who said that they saw "My Best Friend's Wedding!" Julia Roberts is fabulous.

And, to answer the actual question, lately I've just been watching Pan's Labyrinth over and over again. I cry every time. Check it out. Definitely. (Don't worry, monolinguals, you can turn on subtitles on the DVD.)

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Last movie I saw was RENT. I'm about as much of a RENT-head as I am a robotics geek.

Last movie from theaters was Enchanted. Was pretty funny in some parts.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I just saw Superbad! 2 nights in a row! (for the 2nd & 3rd times)
Good movie, but not for everyone. That's for sure. :yikes:

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Beyond the cops and McLovin, I thought it was a total waste of time.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I just saw The Golden compass. It was okay, obviously you can never compare it to the book, but good to watch.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I heard things about that movie. Things that are... things.

Anyway, finishing Jack Frost on ABC Family.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

haha, nice critique. Yes, the movie has many things. Anybody know when the next ones are coming out from the awesome trilogy?

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

My Summer veiwing so far:
The Forbidden KingdomShould have been awesome seeing Jackie Chan and Jet Li square off. Surprisingly it wasn't. What was the purpose of the white kid? It's like they added him in at the last second so they could sell the movie to American audiences. Kung Fu Panda is a hundred times better.C-

Iron Man Alot of fun. Mainly because of Robert Downey Jr.'s sardonic and smart performance. A-

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullLike Harrison Ford the movie felt old and tired. Disappointing. C

Kung Fu Panda The most fun movie I've seen this year. Really well done action scenes. A

The Incredible HulkNot a bad movie just one that never needed to be made. I may be in the minority but I actually enjoyed the 2003 movie. So why did this one have to exist?C+

You Don't Mess With the Zohan LIke an overextended SNL skit. It gets really tiring after a while. D

The HappeningBetter than what most people thought of it. Very spooky. B

Wall-ETypical Pixar effort. Plain brilliant. A

Wanted Ultra violent actioner that is fun if you don't take it too seriously. B

Hancock A movie that was far better than it was at the end where a twist sent it reeling off in some out of left field direction that drained the film of any momentum it had. C

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Just saw hancock. I agree, the second half felt like an extremely poor sequel.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Just saw The Incredible Hulk. Personally, I kinda disliked the 2003 version. I mean, this one was better, I thought, but I agree with Ed, too. Maybe they could have waited more than 5 years to do another remake.

*Spoiler-ish*
Still, it had a nice tie-in to iron man man in the end. That was pretty cool.
*End Spoiler-ish*

(Still waiting to see that(Iron Man). And Wall-E.)

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

That's because there are big plans to make an Avengers movie in 2011.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I saw it a few weeks ago with my girlfriend, and we both enjoyed it. It's an Adam Sandler movie, which should explain it all. (Fortunately, I enjoy Adam Sandler movies.)

Other movies I've seen since graduation include:

WALL-E You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that this movie is made of win and awesome.

Enchanted Alright, so it was on DVD (and I saw it six months prior in the theater with my girlfriend--it's our movie, as it were), but it's the kind of movie that anyone who ever saw a Disney movie can enjoy. The right balance of poking fun at itself without becoming a total spoof. Watch it.

Iron Man Also a highly enjoyable effort. I was unfamiliar with the storyline before seeing it, only watching on a recommendation from others. It was a great origin story, letting even the newbies in for a good time.

I haven't been burned yet on movies this summer--we'll see if my luck holds out.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I saw Hancock earlier today (or yesterday, if you want to get technical about it). I liked it.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Just saw Wall-E, cuuute movie :3

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Just watched 2 movies this past week. I'm sooo bored these days.

Dave in Real Life
Scared the bejibbers out of me. I'm not ready for my daughters to be teenagers. Liked the movie, just darn scary for a dad of 3 daughters.

Margo at the Wedding
OK... this may be one of the worst movies ever. Seriously. I believe think that Nicole Kidman, Jack Black and Jennifer Jason Leigh improvised lines that continually got more and more ridiculous as the movie went on. It's one of those "train wreck" movies that it is so bad, you wonder what they will think of next. Kidman and Jason Leigh tried to one-up each other, seeing who can say the most irresponsible things they could think of to their teenage kids.

Gave in Real Life = good, but scary to me
Margo and the idiots (that should be the title) = waste of a polycarbonate DVD

AB

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?

I believe its Dan in Real Life- Which was what I thought to be a great movie.

Just saw Hellboy II and I thought it was right under Iron Man this summer. It had a great mix of comedy and action without turning into an action-comedy. 9/10

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

The Dark Knight - Amazing movie. If you have any doubts about this movie, don't. If you go for no other reason, go to see Ledger's performance. You will surprised by what happens.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Ledger WAS the movie. I just saw that movie yesterday.

But I just watched Ocean's twelve

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Batman was a great movie. Honestly, it could have been made into 3 different movies because of all the action it had.

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

Batman has the record. I wonder if this one is gonna break it?

Re: So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?
 

I was very happy with the previews before The Dark Knight, especially for Watchmen, new James Bond, and new Terminator. Going to be a good year for movies it looks like.
