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

I finished watching the first three episodes of the first series of Dr Who. It is about as much as I can handle in one setting.

This was from the ninth set of episodes with the doctor played by Christopher Eccleston starting in 2005: tardis.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_television_stories.

I found out about Dr Who a few weeks ago. It was more entertaining that I expected. Score 7/10

For an idea of the heights Doctor Who can reach, I highly recommend "Blink" from the third season. If you like low-budget B-movies, you might enjoy much of the original series (1963-1987) as well.

Thanks! I was wondering what the best ones were. There are way too many on the list I found.

Update: I finished the next three shows in the series I rented and found out how a Dalek climbs the stairs.

Just saw Catching Fire for the third time (I have issues). I think they all did a great job with it. Good acting.
There were a few parts that I feel they should have put in, because they were important and non-readers might have trouble not catching on (like Plutarch's gold watch and explaining D13 more).

9/10.

The World's End: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213663/

This was about a pub crawl where not only the quantity of alcohol but also aliens kept getting in the way. At the end the heroes save the world, but it depends on your perspective whether the world was saved or not, so I'm not really spoiling the ending by saying that they "saved" anything.

Score 9/10

The latest iteration of Superman. 7/10 It was alright.

Nice to see you're not wasting your time.

Nice to see you're not wasting your time.

Watching Billie Piper as Rose Tyler made the time pass quickly. I liked the way she'd not pronounce clearly the "t" in many words such as "later". Or at least that's how I heard it. She would say something like "lay-er" and the "t" in "not" would seem to get de-emphasized or combined with the next word to the point of not being there and the "o" sound made long.

Serenity, 10/10.

Serenity is the movie conclusion to the short lived, cancelled-in-its-prime Tv show, Firefly. They're both epic and amazing and fantastic pieces of science fiction that reject the classic views of shining spaceshippy utopias or post-apocalyptic dystopias and go for something in between, portraying a 26th century humanity with a huge class division between the haves and have-nots. It's got great dialogue, 9 extremely well written characters, and it's the only movie I've cried at since I was a little kid.

I saw Stuck in Love. It had Jennifer Connolly in it and I remember seeing her long ago in Labyrinth. I guess the acting was OK, but the story line seemed like it needed a touch of Woody Allen humor to liven it up. Score: 5/10

I saw “Twelve Years a Slave” last night. It’s directed by Steve McQueen, whose last film, “Shame”, highlighted the horrors of being a rich, white suburbanite. This one is different. It’s about a free black man who, in 1840, gets shanghaied (is that a racist term?) and sold into slavery in Louisiana.

Based on the evidence of this film, slavery generally involves getting whipped, hanged, humiliated and raped. I’m sure this is all correct, but the film appears to have concentrated 12 years of torture into a two hour titillation for sado-masochists. McQueen obviously has talent. The movie combines oppression with natural beauty. It’s gorgeously shot. In one scene, our protagonist gets hanged for defending himself against an overseer, with his toes barely touching the ground. All around, the other slaves go about their daily tasks, ignoring what appears to be a commonplace torture.

If McQueen’s goal was to make his audience feel the oppression of slavery, he succeeded. Nonetheless, after about two hours, I felt like I’d been tied to the whipping post myself. Perhaps being beaten is, in some ways, enlightening. But it’s not very enjoyable.

I picked up Johnny English Reborn from the library, wondering if I had seen it before or not. After watching the opening scene in the Tibetan monastery, I remembered that I had indeed seen it before and would probably not mind seeing it again.

Score: 9/10

Prisoners (2013)

Not bad, not half as good as Zodiac either. Hollywood cannot compete with South Koreans in this genre. Case in point: Memories of Murder. Jackman and Gyllenhaal have matures as actors, but the latter's annoying blinking, Cyrillic tattoos, and masonic ring reflected a half-arsed attempt at character development, on the pretense of giving it some depth - a past. More than a couple of scenes remind of the excellent, excellent Spoorloos (1988), which is a much better film.

7/10

Worth watching once.

I saw Butterfly Room last week. It was very disappointing. 2/10

[krishna_lit]

I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967)

Typical 1960s nonsense directed by Michael Winner and starring Oliver Reed as a brilliant advertising director with, mistresses, money, a wife and child and all the trimmings, who gives it all up to work for a literary magazine. But leaving the rat race doesn't prove easy because his former boss, played by Orson Welles, is determined to get him back and buys up the magazine.
Quite well done in a flashy sort of way but it sinks beneath its attempt to be with it. It's meant to be hip but turns out to be hype. 5/10
