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

I watched Prometheus last night, my first visit to a cinema in about 5 years. I was somewhat taken aback by the price of admission and a handfull of nibbles! I think I might go back to waiting until films are released on DVD before I watch them. The 3D effects were subtle - not so much leaping out of the screen at you; more like peering through a window into a room. It was very loud. The film itself was very enjoyable though. As a devotee of Alien films I wasn't disappointed as I was able to make sufficient connections with the established mores of the series and the plot development of the new film. The story's diegesis was logical and I think Scott was right not to make the connections with the first Alien film too obvious.

So, was it worth driving around the carpark for 20 minutes looking for a space and shelling out £25 for a seat and some sweets? Hmmm, tricky. Yes, I enjoyed the film but I'd rather have only spent a tenner. I think I'll be buying the Blue-ray when it comes out. Definitely one for my film library.

8/10. I think it has to be at least that, if only for the cameo clip of Lawrence of Arabia in 3D

The amount of money you had to pay is shocking! If I pay full price for a movie ticket and get a drink, popcorn and a small pack of Astros, it will still cost me much less than ten pounds. That being said, the amount I have to pay as it is, is still quite expensive.

I'm on a bit of a Dirk Bogarde kick at the moment and have watched The Spanish Gardener with Bogarde, Michael Horden, Cyral Cusack and a cast of British stalwarts from the days when scripts were well written and understated. Taken from the novel by A.J.Cronin it's central performance of the gardener, played by Bogarde, is overshadowed by Michael Horden's perfectly nuanced acting in the part of an embittered diplomat who is overprotective of his son and becomes jealous of the boy's friendship with the hired gardener.

Horden's performance alone is worth an 8/10 for this excellent adaptation, as is seen in the film's opening.

I saw Prometheus last night, and was rather disappointed with it, which surprised me as I had fully expected to find it brilliant. The cast was great and giving some incredible performances, but the plot made absolutely no sense - the film felt like it had no idea where it was going or what it was doing, and simply ended without tying up a huge number of plot points. Lots of things seemed to happen for no reason, and huge amount of technical stuff passed unexplained.

The shots of Iceland at the start were probably the best thing for me, even if it was supposed to be pre-historic Earth (I think? That wasn't explained either, come to think of it...). I've stood at the top of that waterfall (Dettifoss) myself.

Sorry Qimi - meant to respond earlier.

The Thin Red Line is a philosophical war film that intersperses the action with the inner dialogues of the characters including the dead. It's quite an unusual film. it does have lingering shots - some of which are quite beautiful, but then there's the contrast of the war and the horror.

Watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Very good - understated, in that drab 50's British style. 7/10

I will need to watch it again as I was zoning in and out with fatigue, but - you know - when you want to watch something good...

Thank you, Paul.

New Year's Eve. It was on tv last night. Despite the fact that I have a high tolerance for average movies, this wasn't very good. 3/10

last night I watched Sin City, saw it a few years ago and thought it was time to see it again since they are gonna make another one. It is so good, so very good. So many great actors and so many bad bad guys. It's just wonderful. 9/10

I just finished watching Indiana Jones and the temple of doom and it's OK, not the best Indy movie but OK, now I am ready for number 4 and apparently they are gonna make number 5 soon.

I've heard that as well. Apparently there is also going to be Ghostbusters 3 and a remake of Stephen Kings IT.

I just finished watching "It's a wonderful life". I've always loved it 10/10

Today I concluded watching The Riddle of the Sands, a British film from the novel by Erskine Childers. Set a few years before WWI, it concerns a young British sailor who accidentally discovers a plot for the invasion of England by Germany using barges carrying thousands of troops that will land at a poorly protected part of the East coast of England.
It's pretty much a schoolboy yarn about Brits foiling the dastardly Germans, but quite well done and very well photographed on location along the North German coast.
Ironically, the author was involved in smuggling German weapons to Irish nationalists but was executed by the Irish Free State after he refused to support the partition of Ireland and continued to fight for the complete removal of British sovereignty.

7/10

Just watched Zeppelin in which Michael York plays a British spy inserted into Germany during WW1 in order to discover German plans for the enhancement of airships to bomb British cities. The Germans are developing a giant ship to be used in a special operation to steal historic documents from a Scottish castle where they have been stored for the duration of the war. This unlikely premise gives rise to the usual explosions and gunfire associated with war films but as a 'ripping yarn' it has its moments.

6/10

I saw 'Super 8' last Friday. I loved it. I really liked the dialogue and the characters' interactions with each other. The kids who played in the movie were great.

9/10.

I watched Shrink and I wasn’t disappointed with it. Performance of Kevin Spacy was absolutely brilliant. 8/10

[qimissung]

Die Hard for the gazillionth time. 10/10 It came on about 10 and I stayed up late to watch it. A perfect movie for a perfect summer activity when you don't have to get up the next day! Yippee-ki-yay!

[tonywalt]

I watched "A Woman under the influence" directed by John Cassavetes. Brilliant film.

[Jordan770]

Hamlet starring Kenneth Branagh. Honestly I wasn't a fan of Branagh's portrayal of the main character.

Paul - again, bought it today and my son hadn't seen it so we watched it very funny and Simon Pegg is always awesome.
