What was the last movie you watched?

Indeed it was! Seeing it on the big screen was a unique experience because the audience was packed with old-timers who grew up watching the original TV series and they loved it. It's too bad everyone else ignored it 'cause it was Disney's best film last year. It seemed like exactly the kind of film Walt would have made if he were still alive.
 
Bedevilled (2010)
Rekindled my love for world cinema. It was so real and gritty. The storyline was pretty amazing, too. As usual, the gory scenes were a pleasure to watch. The revenge element isn't new but it's a different take on it. Highly recommend it for those who like Korean cinema and horror films.

Drive (2011) Radio 1 Rescores
I was very apprehensive about watching this. The original soundtrack was completely flawless so to hear Radio 1's concoction added to one of my favourite films was rather perturbing. Amazingly, I was happily surprised to find that it was rescored very well. Bastille kind of marred the experience for me though, I just think his voice doesn't suit LA at all. The rest of the music fitted superbly.
 
I watched Mortal Kombat again last night. I ended up putting it on my netflix queue after seeing the MKX stream on twitch the other day.
 
Tusk

Went in with zero expectations... and at the end I was kinda wondering what I just saw, lol. Couldn't help but draw some paralells to The human centipede.
 
The last movie I watched was ADAM - a film about a grown man with the Asperger syndrome. I rarely watch movies about this topic, so it was just a coincidence. It was a good movie, though. I recognized myself in quite a few things.

A week ago I saw the movie Adam at Future Shop and I bought it because I heard so much about it. The last time I read about it on a forum everyone slammed it saying it was unrealistic and very predictable/generic. I don't think it was generic and predictable at all, I never expected some things. I actually thought it was pretty good.

Well, well.. Seems we've been watching the same movie. :eek:
 
I finally had a chance to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and was pleased to find out that the first film wasn't a fluke. I never read the books, but I thought the first film was a brilliant, thought-provoking piece of cinema with a lot going on under the surface. I was slightly afraid that the sequels would be done by-the-numbers as a way of cashing in on the first film's success, but those fears were completely unfounded. Catching Fire is just as brilliant and I can't wait to see Mockingjay.
 
In theaters, Birdman. I highly recommend it. Here is the trailer.


It is definitely one of the better movies that I have seen in a very long time. Note, if you are sensitive to strong percussive sounds, you may not be able to watch the movie as the soundtrack can be very intense and possibly disturbing to your sensory system.

But, yes, a great film with great talent. It made me finally appreciate the actress Emma Stone. Before watching this film, I really couldn't understand the hype around her. But, she's good at what she does. I respect her as an actress now and look forward to her future films.

Also, it was really interesting that they chose Michael Keaton to play the lead role as when I hear his name, I think of his role as Batman (watched it as a kid). I have a lot more to say on it, but I don't want to add any true spoilers.
 
No offense, but I turned it off as soon as I saw the disclaimer. Fat shaming is a disgusting enough practice as it is, we don't need self righteous jerks using this film as a bludgeon, which you know they will, even if that's not what the director intended and therein lies the problem with giving something away. The director might feel it's right to give their film away (and I'm not saying I wouldn't do it if I were in his shoes), but no matter how well intentioned his film is, if he relinquishes all rights to it, he has no recourse if people use it for purposes he may not agree with.

EDIT: I skimmed through the film to make sure I wasn't being hasty in my assessment. My opinion is unchanged. Sorry.

No problem, everyone is entitled to their view. I had a similar issue with the 2nd Amendment when I lived in the States.
