So...What Movie Did You Just Watch?

[MrAmazing]

Yesterday I watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico...

Serenity
This was the first movie I've seen in quite a while. Definately the best TV to film adaptation I have seen. Sure it's like an overbolown episode of Firefly and I thik the show would have been better served getting picked up by the Sci Fi network the movie is fresh and fun and captures the essence of the show without feeling it has to sacrafice everything to "go big" for the big screen. My wife who is not a fan of the show and had no interest in seeing it went anyways and enjoyed it alot as well. A-

The Gospel
An enjoyable film with great music, they don't surgarcoat that there are problems in the church even amongst the parishoners which these kind of movies tend to do and the scenes in the chapel are quite high energy but the acting ranges from stilted to bad and the story is heavy handed and cleans up too nicely in the end.C


The Corpse Bride
This stop motion curiosity is much more charming than Burton's previous stop motion venture The Nightmare Before Christmas which I admired more than I liked and the same goes for James and the Giant Peach.
WHat makes this one work is the three strong characters who form the lovers triange at the core of the story. Emily Watson's demure bride to be Victoria who in spite of her mother's controlling attempts to suppress her will still burns within her, Johnny Depp's Victor a meek but thoughful and resourceful fellow and most of all Helena Bonemah Carter's Emily who is the heart and soul of the film. She is vibrant, elegant, sensetive and sweet and would be perfect for Victor if she wasn't dead.
THe most interesting set up of this film is that there is no way the story can resolve itself with an absolute happy ending which most mainsteam aniamtion films desperately try to do. Someone is going to lose out and get hurt badly and I like to see a bittersweet aftertaste once in a while instead of a forced happy ending where everything turns out alright and everyone is happy. B+

I just watched Disney's National Treasure.

Pretty good movie, even though it is two hours long!

What is really cool is that some of the scenes were actually filmed at the historic sites this movie contains.

"Robots" on DVD

storyline is a little weak

animation is super. Watched it twice already. Some of the humor I didnt get till after I watched it twice, and then got some of the puns the day after.

House of Wax (2005)
Batman Begins
Herbie Fully Loaded

Yay for 99 cent 1 day rentals!

Anyway, of the above three, House of Wax was by far the best.

Very creepy, weird, and crazy horror movie.

Great for Halloween!

Zorro. The little kid and the monk totally made the movie worth watching even though there was no plot. And I'm sorry but there is no way that nitroglycerin doesn't go off rattling down a train track.

Mystic Pizza...on my way down to Mystic, CT for a field trip today..

There were two movies that I love that were mentioned before in this thread, Thirteen and Léon. Thirteen was an unapologetically blunt, honest, and frightening look into the lives of teenagers and young adults in our society. I thought it was an incredibly well done movie. Léon is another great movie, in a different vein than Thirteen, where someone with not the most admirable of occupations / lives becomes the hero that you root for throughout the movie. That, and Gary Oldman is just plain awesome. I recommend both movies to anyone who doesn’t find the descriptions of these movies on IMDB to be morally reprehensible or otherwise offensive.

Within the past 2 weeks I’ve seen Good Night, and Good Luck, Doom, and The Legend of Zorro in theatres. I strongly recommend Good Night, and Good Luck to everyone on these boards.

I liked The Mask of Zorro back in 1998, but I found this more recent movie to be pretty weak. So much so that my brother, our friend, and I ended up pulling a “Mystery Science Theatre 3000” of our own while watching it in a sparsely occupied theatre. The best part of the Zorro movie was the trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I played the original Doom video game like a madman when I was younger, and was really excited to see the movie, despite my low expectations for the movie. I saw a 1am showing the day it came out and found it to be entertaining, but was disappointed I had paid $10 to see it at our local theatre. I was especially disappointed in the differences in storyline between the games and the movie regarding the demons’ origin; there was no need to change that much. I mean, if you’re going to take liberties with regard to things like that, you might as well title the movie something else and just credit the game with "inspiration for the movie" so as not to disappoint Doom geeks

Movies Mentioned…
Thirteen
Léon
Good Night, and Good Luck
Doom
The Legend of Zorro
The Mask of Zorro
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

i just saw saw II on Saturday and Ive been watching a whole bunch of horror movies the newest Freddy, zombie the original one, JasonX, child's play, jaws, and a bunch others

[wilshire]

MS Gundam : Miller's Report
in my opinion one of the best made for the MS series

[henryBsick]

Saw II GREAT movie.
Legend of Zorro. DO NOT SEE THIS EVEN IF YOU GET IN MOVIES FOR FREE!!
I cannot WAIT until Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes out 2 hours and 45 minutes long, without each theaters own choices of previews!
King Kong (another amazing looking upcoming film) is even longer at a staggering 3 hours.. or so I am told (may be an estimate).
