What was the last movie you watched?

"Frozen" this morning. Wonderful fun to watch. Loved the ice crystals forming and growing. All animation, of course. Disney outdid themselves.

I'm hoping to see that one with my brother. When I was growing up, I thought Disney was a lost cause. But in recent years they've started to make a few good-quality movies.

One from the Heart, though I fell asleep before the end; and The Maltese Falcon, during which I *also* fell asleep before the end.

Not a reflection on the films; I just haven't had the mental energy for anything at all these days.

 

[LikeyouToMe]

All the Pirates of the Caribbean, Beautiful Creatures, Now You See Me... and prob a few others, I can't keep up haha

"North Face"

Almost finished watching this one...if you love Nature or climbing, then watch this film. Fantastic scenery. It's about 2 competing teams of climbers trying to be the first to climb the Eiger's dangerous North Face. The lead actor is from an award winning WW1 movie where a professional singer [true story] helps create a temporary truce between the Scottish, British & German lines during Christmas.


"Based on a famous 1936 attempt to climb the Eiger north face, the film is about two German climbers involved in a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps."

[Judge]

"In The Name Of The Father". Starring Daniel Day Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite.

The true story of Irish suspects convicted of an IRA bombing they didn't commit.

Worth seeing.

1) "The Messenger" heavy sh*t Army personnel telling parents their children died in Iraq/Afghanistan

2) From Spain= "Mondays in the Sun" unemployed workers

"Storyline
2001: men without jobs, in the port city of Vigo. Six men worked in a shipyard, now shuttered. They pass the time at La Naval, a bar opened by one of them after the yard closed. They face their futures in makeshift ways: Rico has his bar and a sharp 15-year-old daughter, Reina has become a watchman and a moralizer, Lino fills out job applications, Amador drinks heavily and talks of his wife's return; José is married to Ana, who works at a cannery and tires of being the breadwinner amidst José's emasculated moodiness; Santa, the group's conscience and troublemaker, occasionally fantasizes about Australia. In truth, all are joined like Siamese"

The Adventures Of Tintin

I hadn't seen it since the theatrical release and it was just as good as I remembered and in some aspects, it was better than I remembered. Rather than adapting just one of Herge's books, they combined elements from three different ones to make a bigger, more epic adventure. While this does mean that some major plot points were changed or dropped, the resulting film is a marvelous piece of work that can easily stand alongside the original books and the excellent 90s cartoon series (which is often thought to be the best adaptation of Herge's work). Last I heard, they definitely are going to do the other two films they had planned from the start, but they're waiting for Peter Jackson to finish The Hobbit so it'll be awhile longer.

The reason people think that it's unrealistic is because Hollywood has the nasty tendency to exaggerate EVERYTHING as long as it is profitable for them. Unfortunately Asperger's Syndrome is one of those things they usually exaggerate, but so far this might be the most realistic portrayal of the syndrome i've seen from Hollywood by far (As realistic for Hollywood standards, that is) Also sorry for english, i'm Italian

Now you see me

Actually one of the better movies I've seen in a while... I don't know how I could've missed that movie, especially with a few bigger names acting in that movie.

 

[arnoldmcguire335]

Mine would be Identity Theft, you know, the fat woman you took the main guy's identity and stuff? funny stuff there.

Anything with Sandra Bullock in it

"John Q" an old Denzel Washington movie about how an HMO denies a heart operation to a working fathers kid. Def worth it if you haven't seen it.

 

[Kelly]

A film called Bullhead, not a whole lot of anything happened in it and alot was left unexplained, they could have gone darker and more brutal which I was hoping for, the ending was just 'meh';

 

[Yoshi08]

watched Haunting in Connecticut 2. Its okay. Pretty good death scenes.

Horror sequels can be pretty goofy sometimes. Like The Last Exorcism 2. How can there be a part 2 if it was the LAST exorcism? :giggle2: That's one of the things I like about horror films, though. They almost never take themselves seriously, so plot holes and logic flaws that would be bad in other films fit right in with this genre.

Yeah, I totally agree - that's the wonderful thing about them; they're so unrealistic that they're almost comedic. The last horror film I watched was Insidious Chapter 2. Love horror <3

I watched Chronicle yesterday. I've seen it a few times before, it's probably among my favorite movies

To me that movie actually seems like a more realistic representation of what would happen if someone suddenly had superpowers in the real world

I just watched both versions of The fly back to back (1958 and 1986)

 

[Dustman319]

I watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey before I go see Desolation of Smaug next week. I liked. I do want to see what happens next.

I saw Tangled and loved it. It was adorable, and also as innocent as a children's film should be, funny so that both kids and adults could appreciate the jokes without their being crass or without condescending to either audience. I didn't care much for the songs, even though I generally like Alan Menkin, but that worked too as I didn't feel like it was trying to take itself too seriously as a musical.
