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

[Niamh]

Niamh, they showed all of those here, but I kept forgetting that they were on. So I never got to see any of them.

I didnt see them on TV either. I just got them on DVD.

[Nasser]

i watched "Big Fish" last night. it wasnt quite what i expected, but i did enjoy it. rate it? i would have to say seven out of ten. there were some disjointed scenes that were hard to follow, and some of the acting was a bit shallow. however, it starts with five, just because it was a Tim Burton film, and because it was all about fantasy.

I love the movie...
I respect Tim Burton

Just seen High School Musical 3 with the kids. Not much different from the first two but the kids loved it.

Thanks for the info. You seem to have an endless "stock" of information on films So, it was based on a true story? Very interesting! I haven't seen those films you mention but i do remember watching a film with the same subject matter..not an old film, though and very inferior to rope but quite interesting.

Yeah, well, I always say that my head is full of useless information. Though I suppose I was able to use this info now to tell you about it. I just figure I need to get a life and then I won't have the time to absorb all of the nonsense that I know.

I wonder if "Swoon" was the film that you saw. Was it a black and white film? I don't know any other movies based on that particular story, but "Swoon" is the one that isn't an old film. It was filmed in black and white, though. I liked that touch to it.

Last night i watched "Psycho" well this one is definately 10/10. This film never gets old

"Psycho" is great. Now I think I might put that second on my list of Hitchcock films. Anthony Perkins is just downright creepy in there.

I didnt see them on TV either. I just got them on DVD.

So they are on DVD? Well, you can guess what is going to be put on my Netflix list now.

Haha! I always say something along those lines about myself. I have a really bad memory and i only seem to remember useless things. So i write everything down on little scraps of paper..and guess what..my office is full of little scraps of paper but i never seem to find the one i want
Anyway, information on films is never useless, at least not to me

I checked out swoon in imdb, yesterday and it isn't the one i've seen. The one i was talking about had a similar subject. It's about two school kids who plan the perfect murder just for the sake of doing it, just because they think they are briliant. The movie is definately influenced by Hitchcock's film (or the other film you mention - which one is older?) but like i said it's nothing special. So they choose a girl for their victim -if i am not mistaken- and kill her and i think they tape the whole thing...ermmmm..in the end i think one is killed and the other is caught, not sure about that last part .

"Psycho" is great. Now I think I might put that second on my list of Hitchcock films. Anthony Perkins is just downright creepy in there.

He is creepy! I've been in a Hitchcock mood lately and i've been rewatching films or seeing some of his films i have never seen before. The next one will be "Family Plot". I have never seen this one before

Sorry to barge in like this, manolia, because I realise this is directed to LadyWentworth. I have to say though that I do this very thing in front of my computer and then I can't ever find the one I want to find. A good idea for that is if you do find the information online is to copy it to a document file. It is a little better but sometimes, even in there I can't find what I am looking for....helps to keep in folders.

Did either of you see the really creepy film he is in - "Crimes of Passion" with Kathleen Turner? They always show the worse scene on Youtube. It is funny, I have seen the film years ago; now I wonder if that scene was cut from the version I saw.

[LadyWentworth]

Haha! I always say something along those lines about myself. I have a really bad memory and i only seem to remember useless things.

That is funny. It reminds me of what my brother said to me once. He wasn't happy with me because I couldn't give him an answer to something that I should've been able to remember. He said something like "You can't remember something as simple as what you had to eat for supper last night, but if I asked you what the 5th word of the 2nd paragraph of the 3rd chapter of A Tale of Two Cities is, you would remember that".

Anyway, information on films is never useless, at least not to me

Yeah, I suppose not. As long as you find someone that you can actually share that information with (and that person actually has interest in what you have to say ). So I guess my info wasn't useless.

Is this the one with Sandra Bullock? I think Ben Chaplin played her partner and Ryan Gosling was one of the students. Is that the one? If not, the story is very similar. The title has completely left my mind right now.

He is creepy!

Honestly, I have never been able to understand how he didn't even get a nomination for his performance in this.

The next one will be "Family Plot". I have never seen this one before

I have never seen this one either. I watched "Dial M for Murder" again not that long ago. I think that is one of my top Hitchcock films. I love Ray Milland.

I know what this film is, but I have never seen it. Isn't Anthony Perkins in this with her?

Just watched the new Indiana Jones film.

Never been a fan of Indiana Jones and now I'm quite glad of it because the series just got butchered in my opinion.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 4/10

[Epistemophile]

i watched a film called 'the number 23' with jim carrey in it. the concept is quite interesting but it could have been a better film. the second part of the film just let me down. poor acting too.

LadyWenthworth, Was the film "The United States of Leland?" - just a wild guess really....

Honestly, I have never been able to understand how he didn't even get a nomination for his performance in this.

Believe it or not (and now you will all jump on me), I have never seen "Psycho". Not long ago I went to my library; thought they had it, but they did not. Years ago I would not watch it, because of that creepy stabbing scene in the shower. I would watch it now, but then I was too freaked out about the knife and they would always show that part in a preview.

I have never seen this one either. I watched "Dial M for Murder" again not that long ago. I think that is one of my top Hitchcock films. I love Ray Milland.

I love "Dial M for Murder"....one of my favorites. I tend to like the ones that take place basically in one or two rooms, like a stage. I like "Rope" for that reason and "Rear Window".

I know what this film is, but I have never seen it. Isn't Anthony Perkins in this with her?

Yes, and he plays some creepy and dangerous minister - very fanatical. You can see the cuts on Youtube, but as I said this may be from an uncut version I had not seen years back when I first saw that film. I recall Kathleen Turner being great in it. I don't even remember Perkins being in it...which is strange.

I actually saw Anthony Perkins in person once in a disco bar in Philadelphia (about 1980). My friend said he brushed past me. I said she was crazy and sure enough, we worked our way through the dance crowd, to the bar and thought it was him. He was with a young lady and they left together after a few minutes and his friend stayed at the bar - my friend, Lynne, asked him if that was who we though it was and he replied "yes, he's in a play in the Playhouse in Fairmount Park this week". Geez, if only we had asked him for an autograph. He was much shorter and slighter, than I envisioned him on screen. He seemed really nice.

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress -- worth all the awards it won -- character study, nostagic ending

[djy78usa]

I've decided to go through the AFI: 100 Years... 100 Movies (2007) list to see if the "experts" know what they're talking about. I own #s 1-4, so first up was Singing in the Rain. I'm normally not a big fan of musical movies, but I have to admit, I really enjoyed this film. Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds were very good, but Donald O'Connor stole just about every scene he was in. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the fifth best American film ever made, but I'd definitely recommend seeing it if you haven't already.

Next movie: (#7) Lawrence of Arabia

"burn after reading". funny as hell.

Boy A - 9/10 Favorite DVD so far this year (not saying much!)
Hannibal Rising - 6.5/10 Not as bad as I anticipated.
