What was the last movie you watched?

Mary and Max, well, at least most of it, couldn't watch it entirely. It had a good message... More or less... The movie was exhausting for me, is there any happy movie about Autism, or Autism permanently equals doom? :) Or maybe I misunderstand something here, maybe it is happy and full of hope, I just don't see it.

I thought Mary and Max was a good movie, but I have somewhat mixed feelings about it since I wouldn't want that to be the movie that people learn everything they know about AS/Autism from. I'm a little worried that people might come away from it thinking that things are that grim for everyone on the spectrum. Of course, I tend to think that the best portrayal of AS/Autism on film is in movies with "unofficial" Aspie/Autistic characters.

The last movie I watched was Chaplin's Modern Times on DVD last night. I still love that movie even after several viewings, especially this part:

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I really like that film. I have watched the Sweedish and American version and find them both very good.
 
Re: What's the last film you watched?

I watched Killadelphia and it was magnificent.

It's basically a film of live shows from the band Lamb of God (brutally heavy metal band), and it's sprinkled with day to day activities that the band does while on tour.

One of the clips from the film is the bands lead singer tackling, then savagly punching the bands lead guitarist. Then a few moments later they both hug and drink a beer.

Coraline. I like stop motion animations and quite enjoyed the somewhat dark story.

Bicentennial man

There was so much that made me think about autism in general... because of the pedantic reasoning the main character had. Even though I did some research on AI, I'm still not really sure if it's that advanced that it could learn both intention and extension of words. To my understanding, even a machine like Watson from Jeopardy, doesn't "understand" it, it just is really fast in looking up all possible outcomes and crossreferencing clues in application.

For a "family movie" it actually gave me a lot of interesting questions to consider, which in my humble opinion a movie should do.

I saw the movie years ago but it didn't stick around as much.. seeing it now I got way more out of it. That might also be that years ago I rather watch a movie with a robot running rampant, instead of one dealing with "life" and all troubles that comes with it.

I went to the pictures to see "Snow White and The Huntsman"

Talk about an awesome take on a classic story, filmakers may have nearly run out of fresh stories but they still no how to twist an old tale!
 
Re: What's the last film you watched?

I watched The dark knight rises last night

And I watched Project X earlier today.

Actually... while I'm not really a party animal generally speaking (I rarely get invited), I'm quite sure that this kind of party would be the minimum I would settle for... in my life the most fun I had in parties and all was when it got really out of hand, it's rather un-aspie I guess... but if I'm partying it better be out of control and utter chaos.

Galaxy of Terror It's a B Sci-fi film with some freaky scenes.
I won't give it away but you have to watch the whole movie to find out!

I saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol directed by Brad Bird. It was a boring, cliche movie. 2/10
 
Re: What's the last film you watched?

We recently signed up for netflix because we are thinking of getting rid of Sky(and having lovefilm & netflix) because all we ever have on is the kids channels or BBC channels that are on freeview anyway.

So far we haven't watched a single film on netflix, haven't had time but our little girl has watched lots and when looking for something new for her to watch(because she was stuck on the bratz film and 2 specific episodes of Ruby Gloom) I came across an old favourite "Hocus Pocus" she didn't want to watch it but then I told her it had Omri Katz from Eerie Indiana in it and she couldn't wait (she LOVES Eerie Indiana). We got about half way through before she wanted Ruby Gloom on again, I haven't watched an entire episode of Ruby yet but I know the opening song off by heart from hearing it in the background all day for the past few days lol
