Last Movie You Watched

[child of Lilith]

Whatched Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Forgettable cheese but I'm still glad I watched it.

There's also added hilarity to be found for anyone familiar with the actual people/events depicted in the movie. Personally I'd been hoping for an appearance by Salmon P. Chase, but it never happened. Oh well.

A weekend or two back I watched The King's Speech (2010). I'm curious on what parts they dramatized and what parts were factual. (I think a bonus feature discussed that in length but I didn't watch the whole thing.)

I loved the background scenery and set designs. It's an inspirational film, I recommend it.

Finally saw Hana-bi.

Back to the Future : One of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. I have actually visited the mall were they filmed the initial time travel scene, I'm such a geek.There have been rumors of a remake in the works, but in all honesty remaking this film seems very unnecessary. Can you see anyone see someone other than Michael J. Fox in the role of Marty?

It's a classics film that I recommended to anyone who hasn't watched it.

Just got back from Wreck-It Ralph. It was fantastic! The story was engaging and suspenseful, the characters and voicework were vivid, and the jokes/references/meta were amazing.

And there were moments where I realized "THAT is genuinely terrifying. Well done, Disney."

I'm definitely going to get it on DVD.

Now excuse me while I go find Sgt. Calhoun fanart. ;)

Since the 1080p copy of Pulp Fiction I have saved on my computer is too much for it to handle, I decided to watch The Mask last night for the first time in over 10 years. It felt great to actually get all the jokes and innuendo this time around. It's still one of my favorite movies ever. I think I was about four years old when I first saw it. Jim Carrey's first transformation literally scared the shit out of me back then....

[Gus Hanson]

Saw Pocahontas for the first time in years and i grew to like it even more. My favorite musical bits were "Colors of the Wind" and "Savages".

[bobbyfischer's ghost]

Watched Forrest Gump last night, it still holds up well even though it's been 4 years since I watched it last. I still find the story very appealing,and the use of Free bird in the movie was great. High recommendations on this one.

[Gus Hanson]

Saw The Animal last night, it was a funny flick and enjoyable. Also nice to see the nice girl from the first season of Survivor since i'm a reality tv buff.

[MassiveInvader]

The Man Who Knew Too Little. I loved this movie, the acting was good, and the situation was funny.

[Gus Hanson]

Face/Off: One of the best action films i've ever seen. Terrific performances by the cast, especially the two leads.

[Blue Monday]

Red Riding - 1974 (2009)

Just caught this on TV tonight. Really captivating in the darkest sort of way. Andrew Garfield does a brilliant job as the young, cocky journalist Dunford (Hard to believe this is Spider-Man you're watching at times!), and Sean Bean is always good. Probably one of his better performances though, due in course of the tone of the film, I reckon.

SPOILER: Show

That final part was heavy, man. The death of Paula really broke Dunford, followed by the torture scenes. Poor guy. Kind of didn't expect that ending, but it was a logical progression considering what transpired beforehand. Still, it packed quite the punch.

I'm hoping they play the second one next weekend, as I'm hooked. Interested in how the films will connect on a narrative level. I do know they all share the same setting and themes, but I want to see if the characters recur, or if certain plot elements are picked up on again, etcetera.

[Gus Hanson]

The Good Son: Macaulay Culkin is sinister as the little hell spawn, Elijah Wood comes off as annoying in some bits, the ending is a toss up 50-50 happy and sad.

Watched The Dark Night Rises after for so long...

SPOILER: Show

...and there's nothing else like watching thousands of cops go against armed thugs with their bare hands and nightsticks, like a complete throwback to the Middle Ages.

That scene makes no sense at all though. It bugged me even when I saw it in theatre for first time and it just gets worse more time passes from seeing the film

[Gus Hanson]

The Amazing Spider-Man: Anything but amazing. If this is the sign of things to come, the future looks bleak. Parker comes off as annoying, the love story drags down the action, and the CGI for the Lizard would be menacing if it weren't so obvious on the CGI factor.

But... That's the best part of the movie, haha!

Watched Iron Man 2 last night. It's a thing, not really worthy of comment. Positively or negatively.

Watching the next Red Riding movie tonight (1980), along with Spirited Away beforehand.

[soul.assassin]

Been replaying that scene, epic as hell, IMO as good as watching the host of Rohirrim take on Sauron's army, or Braveheart.

I forgot to mention this other film I watched, it was a WWII period Japanese movie about kamikaze pilots -- something called ...For Those We Loved (?) -- and... after watching, I told myself:

"Such lofty idealism and romantic notions of family and country, but at the same such an amazing amount of blind and intense faith, faith that could've driven a country to extinction had it not for those atomic bombs."

Sucks that I missed Moshidora (even if it's not her best movie) on the same day. orz.

They're doing it with bureaucracy nowadays. They've laid concrete on river banks and thrown tetrapods on all beaches with billions of yens just because they have had money to spend - without thinking about the drastic consequences of such actions.

Oh yes, I'm reading Alex Kerr's Dogs and Demons right now so that's what inspired this reply.

If I were to be damn blunt, I'd say We Loved had to be one the most blatant nationalistic/romanticized films about the war; reminds me too strongly of Pearl Harbor.
