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

[Janine]

It is his latest film (2006). Do watch it and we can discuss it for months (trust me )

Hi manolia, Oh, now I must see it! I looked it up on Amazon and see is is available on DVD. Any chance my library will buy it, do you think? Maybe I will break down and go rent it. I still haven't seen "Lost Highway" yet either - I could make it a double feature Lynch night! Wow, talk about mind-boggling - now that really would be. I would probably mix up the two stories.
So yes, I must see it and then we can discuss it for months on end!

Hello Lady Wentworth, .....and when was your birthday??? I feel just dreadful and so embarrassed I think I missed the party. I was trying to find the thread just now....I will get there and post something nice for your B-day, belated of course...so sorry Please forgive me. Hope it was a great day!

Yes, I agree about Jessica Biel - something about her seems false and I can't put my finger on what it is, quite. Do you think she is a bad actress? I felt she was stiffling and so was Ed Norton in that film. Just something wrong with both performances....or maybe I was stiffled and it was just me.

Did anyone see "The Painted Veil" with Norton and Naomi Watts? I am just curious to know what others thought of it. I am still mulling that one over and can't make up my mind. I don't think I was that pleased with the acting.

Oh, that is Ok about being late for my birthday. After all, you made up for it by all the gifts that you bestowed upon me!

Do I think Jessica Biel is a bad actress? I suppose not. Would I classify her as a good actress? I don't know. Not really. I don't know. She is another person that I just consider kind of average. I really think she was an incredibly odd choice for "The Illusionist", though. Edward Norton wasn't as good as he could've been. His accent kind of irritated me.

No, I've never seen "The Painted Veil". I know it, of course. It just isn't one that I have seen yet.

[ahsiam]

[Niamh]

Perfume. It was an alright movie. I'm sure i would have injoyed it more if i hadnt been so tired. 6/10

[amalia1985]

No, Janine, although I like Edward Norton, Naomi Watts was the reason I didn't see "The Painted Vail"...

[DeathAngel]

I'd been dying to see 30 Days of Night,
gorey, weak, hero-like movie,
i'd forgetton it was based on comic book, gosh-dern,

they never make any good vampire movies anymore; time to start watching reruns o teh darcula seqeuls i guess,

to be generous i'd say 3 STars

though i really wish i'd seen american ganster...

Amalia, well, manolia likes her and I can't decide. I don't seriously think this movie was her thing - wrong casting altogether. She was good in "Mulholand Drive"- the strange/weird David Lynch thriller, but "Painted Veil" had a lot to be desired, in my opinion. I thought that Norton again, was kind of 'wooden' in this role, but worst of all was when I saw a preview, or actually was listening to it, when I was waiting for another DVD to get to the menu; it was then I realised the script was really, really lame - it was just poorly written and delivered - you know it is so, when you can't listen to it and enjoy the lines without the picture. Maybe that can be the new litmus test for rating a film.

I've just seen "the hills have eyes". I really wonder who comes up with these ideas... I mean, the hills have eyes is just about the most bloody, gory and messy film I've ever seen. Are the people who make films like this really alright, mentally? It was better than many films of it's genre (ultra violent zombie/horror/freakshow), since had something that actually has a faint resemblance with a plot... It isn't good, and I would definately not recommend it to anyone but people who are obcessed with blood and gore.

I watched London yesterday. I came across this film by accident. There is a lot of drug use and crazy sex situations. It's about this guy Syd, played by Chris Evans, who is still in love with his ex girlfriend. He uses a lot drugs in the film and the movie keeps flashing back to key moments in their relationship. The character shouts a lot and really seems to have issues and it's no wonder he has no girlfriend.

I guess out of 10, I would give it an 8 just because it actually held my attention. All the characters were flawed and the film's conclusion was bittersweet, assuming you can muster any sympathy for this character Syd. Even if you can't muster any sympathy for Syd, the film's conclusion is satisfyingly plausible, given what we know of the characters.

Well, i liked Naomi Watts in Mullholand Dr, 21 grams and The ring. She was great in these films . But i haven't seen the one you are discussing about

[Dark Muse]

I just saw Lions For Lambs, it was depressing but good.

[vheissu]

A good year (2006, Russell Crowe)

Well, it's a feel-good film, simple plot, good actors, France, impossible to happen in real life, nice ending....

7/10

3:10 To Yuma

I loved it. It has to get a 10/10 for me. The acting was good, and it is the first really good western I've seen in a long time. Maybe it will start a trend, and there will be more like it.

[amalia1985]

I loved that movie!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE CHRISTIAN BALE!!!!
