What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

A History of Violence. A surprisingly good film based off a graphic novel. The only things that detracted me from completely enjoying it were the raunchy sex scenes and the partly unsatisfying climatic scenes.

Overall: 8/10

I just saw A History of Violence yesterday, I'd also give it a 8/10. The sex scenes didn't surprise me coming from Cronenberg, and they make sense. I found myself laughing throughout the film, even the violence was so over the top that it was comic in a sick way.

I also rewatched Ran; definately 10/10...Kurosawa's masterpiece.

Well I saw Edward Scissorhands for the first time a bit ago and wept when he came from hiding and said "I'm not finished." I of course would have taken him home straight away also which was not wise. The contrast between that insufferable same same suburb and the castle is fabulous and Tim Burton's skills are superb in this. Faerie tale to the max.
I also just saw Murder on the Orient Express with Albert Finney. Flawless. Lush and magnificent. My father was both passenger and freight conductor for CPR and many are the memories of travelling in posh comfort on the train when I was little. loved it.

Good Night, Good Luck! -- A+ film in all ways, but not for those looking for explosions and car chases. (Also, a perfect smoker's movie, if you follow.)

Doom....My son pleaded with me to take him.

....Do not go!...run away...avoid it like the plague.
The Rock may be nice on the eyes, but even that did not help.

I think I lost some brain cells.....the dumbing is setting in

I love films directed by Roman Polanski. They have an eerie or edgy visual quality that adds a second dimension to the story. In many ways Polanski's work reminds me of the great films by Alfred Hitchcock.

I don't even believe in the Devil, but "Rosemary's Baby" really creeped me out. The rape/sex scene, the old couple from a coven of witches tiptoeing through the background unseen to Mia Farrow, the look of horror when she first sees the face of her baby, which slowly assumes a motherly expression. Yikes! Made my flesh crawl.

"Chinatown" is the best PI mystery ever made -- period. Who can ever forget Faye Dunaway blathering: "She's my daughter/my sister/my daughter/my sister" while Jack Nicholson slaps the hell out of her because he thinks she's lying?

This week I saw Polanski's 1988 film "Frantic," starring Harrison Ford (before his face turned decrepit-looking like Clint Eastwood's) and the gorgeous Emmanuelle Seigner.

Ford is a doctor who arrives in Paris with his wife (Betty Buckley) and checks into a fancy hotel to relive their honeymoon 20 years earlier. While Ford is in the shower, his wife receives a telephone call and tries to tell him she is leaving the room, but he can't hear what she says over the running water. Ford finishes his shower, notices his wife is gone and falls asleep on the bed.

When he wakes up hours later, he realizes his wife has vanished. The hotel staff is of no help and he begins checking nearby businesses. A drunk at a bistro confirms Ford's worst fears: a man forced his wife into a car in an obvious kidnapping.

The plot thickens when Ford discovers the suitcase his wife claimed at the airport is the wrong one. It contains clothes and an assortment of innocent-looking items from the young woman played by Seigner. She is a mule hired to smuggle a mysterious electronic device from the U.S. to Paris. The dope dealer who hired her as a middle man is found murdered in his apartment. The money behind the smuggling operation comes from a group of angry Arab men who collected the wife's suitcase from an airport locker where Seigner stashed it. This suitcase doesn't have the electronic device they want.

Ford and Seigner hook up to see if they can ransom his wife without involving the police. From that point on the story takes several twists, some predictable but most not. The ending is poignant, particularly the last scene with Ford and his wife clutching each other desperately in the back seat of a taxi.

Another Polanski film (whose title I can't remember but starring Peter Coyote) has the most mesmerizing dance/music scene I ever saw in a movie. The song is "Avalon" by Roxy Music and the girl teases Coyote as they glide around the dance floor as if in a dream.

Pulp Fiction....Second time I saw it (now on DVD). I love it then and I love it now. The movie wich makes me fall in love with Tarantino.

Last week we had few days off for public holiday, so I took the time to watch The Godfather trilogy. Love the first and second, and quite enjoy the third one.

The Worlds Fastest Indian. An NZ production with Anthony Hopkins as the main character playing a NZ'er called Bruce Munro who races his motorcycle in the US.

i would give it a 8 or even a 9 because it was just an awesome movie, and i recommend it to anyone and everyone!!

i also watched Frailty, sort of horror thriller movie, which was also pretty cool. id give it about a 7.

I just watched Sisterhood of traveling pants a few hours ago and really liked it very much. I will give it 10/10.

The last moovie I saw was a manga. I'v never seen such good graphism. I give it 10/10. Final Fantasy VI.

Fellowship of the Ring (once again!) 10/10 I've finished re-reading the trilogy and am now working on the appendicies. Now I know where Peter Jackson got a lot of his inspiration for things not found within the narratives. I'm also learning quite a lot about The Hobbit. Anyone know if he's actually going to do that one?

dunno, but he should. would be a great production

his house it about 30mins away from mine. i could go ask him if you want..:p wish i could, but security is huge there.

Two days ago I saw Doom. No comment, neither good nor bad.

Trainspotting

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a big ****ing television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electric tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage payments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite and higher purchase a wide range of ****ing fabrics. Choose D.I.Y. and wondering who the **** you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting in a large couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows stuffing ****ing junk food in your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish ****ed-up brats you've sworn to replace yourself. Choose your future, choose life. But why would you want to do a thing like that? I choose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin?

Please excuse the "words", but I need to copy those lines from the movie as I think they summon up the whole movie.

A very stylish movie by Danny Boyle, which is based on the Irvine Welsh's novel. A story of the life of Mark Renton with his "on and off" effort to be clean, which is a very hard thing to do especially if the person is does not really cut him/her self out out from the black world. After managed to freed him self from drug addiction, Renton tried to start new live, including by moving to London where he tried to live the common life. But as his friends, 2 junkies and a high tempered loco, come along and move with him, he realized that starting a new page was not as easy as he thought would be. Some viewers may consider this movie extreme and explicitly prmote drug abuse among youth. However, I think that the messages are very thought-provoking (junkie, AIDS, family roles, society). Additional points which make me enjoy this movie are the Scottish accents and slangs.

9.5 out of 10 http://www.websmileys.com/sm/cool/1245.gif

Just finished rewatching Deep Impact. Not my favorite, but entertaining. It has action (for him) and a decent story (for me). Though he still hasn't learned to keep quiet during the story parts. :mad: To him he has to kill time before the next action scene. One day, I'll learn him! :cool:

oh, 7/10
