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

Just watched The Woman in Black last night. Only downsides were a few loud-audio-sting jump scares (always a cheat, especially when the director shows, as this one did, that he also knows how to do it properly) and a long stretch in the middle with Daniel Radcliffe chasing and being chased by lots of creepy happenings in the house but no actual plot/character development of any kind.

On the other hand, the creators came armed with a good variety of creepy happenings, and except for the cheap jumps the movie was technically flawless. And by golly was it good to see "Hammer Films" in a credit sequence again.

Bottom line, a well-made and well-acted classical haunted house movie. If you like old-school ghost stories, don't miss it. 8.5/10

I watched Red Dragon for the first time and really liked it. Anthony Hopkins gave a wonderful performance; Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton were excellent too. 7.5/10

Yes, I enjoyed watching it.

I watched Footsteps in the Fog, the lead roles being played by Stewart Granger and the gorgeous Jean Simmons. Made in 1955 it was a fairly routine Victorian poisoning tale in which a kitchen girl discovers that the master has killed his wife and blackmails him into allowing her to become mistress of the house. Granger gives a rather wooden performance but he didn't have a lot to work with.
The production values were pretty good with an authentic atmosphere created for a rather predictable story. 6/10.

A couple of days ago I watched a film that I have waited an awful long time to see again. Some saintly soul has managed to get hold of a copy and has posted it on Youtube, albeit with a few slight sections blacked out for some reason. The film in question being The 1950 version of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. Directed by Hollywood veteran Irving Rapper it's pure magic with wonderful performances by Arthur Kennedy, Gertrude Lawrence, Kirk Douglas and, above all, Jane Wyman who epitomises the crippled daughter Laura Wingfield.
Some viewers posted complaints about G.Lawrence's hectoring of her son and daughter but it's in the script that Williams had a hand in himself. i checked out the more recent remake and there simply is no comparison either in terms of direction and especially the acting. A great performance by Wyman that just breaks your heart. 10/10.

I watched Emperor's New Groove with my nieces last night. I admit I enjoyed it more than they did. 8/10

Morricone's score is superb.

When I worked in the architects division, there were a couple of guys and a woman who used to lunch together and that was their nickname amongst our disreputable gang in the general office. It's a good job they didn't know it, they made the ones in the film look like choirboys.

Last movie I saw... I think it was The Beaver but I'm not certain, probably a 7/10, it was a black comedy but oftentimes you couldn't see the comedy and then it just seemed kind of stupid. Mel Gibson's performance was great though and the film did bring a tear to my eye at one point.

[Buckthorn]

I watched the Dark Knight Rises last night, I really enjoyed it. Not as good as the last movie but still pretty good 8/10.

I got home about 1am and watched the Devils Advocate, damn good movie as well 8/10

[Paulclem]

Last night I watched The Grey with Liam Neeson. A group of Canadian survivors of an air crash in the wilderness are menaced by a pack of wolves.

I didn't hope for much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The photography was great, and the story was made much more interesting by focusing upon the characters in the group. It was also a limited story, but enjoyable none the less. 6/10

Watched the film adaption of McCarthy's The Road and went into not expecting it to impact me like the book and it surely did not but I still had a tear or two. Not a bad film at all.

[LitNetIsGreat]

I’m watching Sideways again, very enjoyable film and certainly the greatest mid-life crisis, Allenesque wine road movie there has ever been.

Watched The Island with Ewan McGregor and Scarlet Johanssun. Not bad - 6/10.

[qimissung]

"Friends with Kids" 8/10 I liked it. I like Jennifer Westfeldt, but I actually prefer a previous movie that she made, "Ira and Abby" which I think is funnier and says more about relationships. However, I did enjoy it.

I finally got around to finishing Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, which was honestly a chore to sit through. What can I say, it's merely a reproduction of most of his films--Owen Wilson even does a remarkable job in impersonating him. 4/10
