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

But...the ending's great. The way Deniro smiles...it's perfect!

Maybe we are talking about different endings? This movie is said to come over in 3 versions. The one ending, the alternate ending, and the Director's Cut. I have no idea which is mine. In the end, the Max Renn guy turns out to be alive and asks Noodles to shoot him but Noodles doesn't, so I didn't exactly get what happened to Max, either he jumped into the waste disposal car or I don't know why they would show the waste disposal car.

Hey, my nick and your avatar are sort of from the same director, haha.

'Take the Money and Run' - Woody Allen, 1969

This movie is hilarious, to put it simply. Really quite inventive humor. Of course, it's obviously not realistic at all (it involves an incompetent bank-robber who keeps winding up in jail and escaping - only to fail at another robbery and be imprisoned anew), but, for a film made strictly for comic purposes, it seems far more creative than anything being produced at the moment. I'm also slightly in love with Janet Margolin's character; I just kind of wished she talked more...
Anyway, 8/10. Absolutely worth watching. Just under an hour and a half, and full of memorable scenes.

HiJamesian, You know I loved this movie when it first came out. I recall that I could not stop laughing. I must see it again. Recently, I realised I had taped it from a TV broadcast. I hope the tape is till good. It is, as you say, much funnier than half the stuff they come out with nowdays. Isn't there a scene were the record goes flying out of the sleeve across the room, or am I thinking of another Woody Allen film?

Last night i saw an Italian movie "cinema paradiso" directed by Gieseppe Tornatore.Its became one of the best.i liked it immensely.i think i like the movies which make me cry and this is the one.Brilliantly acted by all the characters,the story of a filmmaker salvador (toto)- as a child how he looked around,how he sensed his people,how he drastically fall in love and cheated(blessed!)by his elderly friend Alfredo.255 minuites' film telling toto's mischievous attraction by cinema,the young toto's passionate first love and at the end the successful filmmaker of the world but unhappy in personal life,still seeking his losing love.the last half an hour was extremely dramatic.The question arising in me-is it true that one has to lose something for achieving his\her desired thing? and who said the adolescent cannot love maturely? its not true,at list toto and elena prove it.The movie reninds me of my passing time, the universatility of transitoriness of life, the effect is immense.the movie won academy award in 95.

Not sure which version I have either, it's 3h40m long and I'm quite sure it's Leone's cut.

I saw the third Pirates movie twice recently (I'm a junkie). Basically, it was fantastic, and Orlando Bloom reaches a whole new level of hot that I never though a man capable of. I think it's actaully better than Dead Man's Chest.

Was Fracture really a disappointment? I have been meaning to see it for a while, because Anthony Hopkins is my favourite actor EVER. I've been told by others that it wasn't good, but I thought maybe they just didn't get it or something. I don't think its possible for Anthony Hopkins to be a bad movie.

I also saw Bobby recently (stars A.H. again haha). I thought it was soo well done. The cast was rediculous!

I like A. Hopkins too and Ryan Gosling.
Fracture was not that bad, just not as good as i expected it to be.
While the plot was interesting the movie was kind of slow and sometimes boring .... but you should give it a try.

I think that may have been something else... I cannot remember it, at any rate.

I just rented "The Lost Language of Cranes".

A very compelling British film about (here he goes again...) a closeted gay man that has to come to terms with and be honest about his double life when his son comes home to announce that he (the son) is gay.

Jamesian, You probably are right. I think now that scene is in "Annie Hall". I know it is an early Allen movie. Sorry....
I must see "Take the Money and Run" again. I do recall it being a very funny film!

I stayed up late last night and watched Hannibal Rising (and i was late for work because I overslept )

It wasn't as good as the first but not as bad as the second. I thought it did a pretty good job of explaining why Hannibal Lector is the way he is. Gaspard Ulliel was a good choice for the role --- the way he spoke reminded me of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, and he looked the way you'd think a young Anthony Hopkins might.

I give it 8/10.

Ocean's 13

So far it's the best movie I've seen in for 2007....
