What was the last movie you watched?

Horrors Of Spider Island - While I don't know if it was ever featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000

You are correct, it was:


I'm not sure how this movie escaped being on MST3K, I think it would have been perfect (they did some other old Mexican horror films, but not this one, curiously enough):


(The actual movie starts at about the 8 minute mark.)

Funfact: the movie was directed by a Mexican actor who played the old villager who says "In Mexico, senor, these are the times of sadness" in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch.

I watched the posession again recently. Great movie. I dont know how true it is though. I also watched tall man with jessica biel
Great sad movie. Great ending to it. You should see it.
 
I watched American Mary. really gory horror movie about a girl in med school who does underground body modification surgeries for people. she gets raped then the man who does tha tto her she gets revenge on that man in a bad way.
 
I liked American Mary too. One thing that it's kind of notable for is being directed by a pair of twin sisters (who also appear in the movie).
 
"Conspiracy"

About a policy meeting held on a very nice lakeside estate outside of Berlin. Complimented by the serving of wine and fine food. Where conniving bureaucrats, politicians and the military came together to decide the fate of European Jews in 1942. Better known as the Wannsee Conference, and the "Final Solution" which the Nazis formally crafted there.

Historically based on actual minutes of the meeting in possession of one of the persons in attendance. Scarier than any monster or slasher movie having been based on actual events.

I recommend Monsters University. Best Pixar film since Up. The Croods is also excellent.

The Croods was actually a big surprise, was not expecting to like it as much as I did. Monster U is also BOSS!

Just watched Oblivion, The Dark Knight Rises and on The Jungle Book now (after finally finishing all of Game Of Thrones series III)

Oblivion was ok, could have been better, the story wasn't exactly clear a lot of the time.
 
Just watched R.I.P.D. and thought it was great.
Along the same lines as M.I.B After a fashion, which was also a great trilogy. Here's hoping for R.I.P.D. 2
 
Only God Forgives. I liked it, but I understand why lots of people didn't. If you're expecting something like Drive: Part 2 because it has the same lead actor and director, you'll probably be disappointed. The tone is very different, it has much more of a nihilistic Takashi Miike-like thing going on. If that sounds like your cup of tea, you might like it.

Oh yeah, the soundtrack by Cliff Martinez is great.

Takashi Mike? I'm in now!
 
Two days ago I watched Rain Man again. It was incredibly emotional even after the second time watching. I want to watch Boston Legal next - a customer suggested it to me when I was serving him at Chevron a few weeks ago.

I never saw Boston Legal despite being a fan of William Shatner, but I am slowly but surely making my way through The Practice (which Boston Legal was a spinoff of). I had to download The Practice because there are no DVDs (some nice person taped the entire run of the series off of FX so they could share), but Boston Legal was completely released on DVD. Figure that one out.
 
I want to watch that, although I remember hearing about some issues that Ursula K. Leguin had with the film. Or am I thinking of Diana Wynne Jones (may she rest in peace)? I know she wasn't entirely pleased with Howl's Moving Castle. I like the film too, but it does change a lot from the book. And the book is better.

But first I need to finish Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I recorded it along with the first sequel because I'd never gotten to see any of the Pirates films after the first one. I would've recorded the fourth one then, too, except my dad wouldn't let me take up any more space. I also recorded the Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland.

I've been on a bit of a Johnny Depp/Tim Burton kick lately. :laugh:
 
Yeah, I like Johnny Depp too. I can't wait to see him play the Big Bad Wolf in the film of Into The Woods next year ("Hello, Little Girl!").

I understand a lot of the criticisms. The storyline, at least as conveyed in the film, was hard to follow. But I absolutely loved the moods that were conveyed by the animation, the music and the sound design, and for whatever its flaws, it was, for me, a first-rate cinematic experience, one that I relished from start to finish.
