What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

the last movie I saw was the Fast Five (2011).

but I do not like the movie has very fixed up a child can understand that many of the scenes are not real.

the river murders (2011) it had a half descent cast so i thought it well worth a viewing. it started off ok but after 10mins or so gradually fell away.

It's a 2003 thriller starring John Cusack (good) that makes absolutely no sense (bad).
I can sum the whole thing up by obtusely saying it's basically Pam Ewing waking up to inexplicably find her husband Bobby in the shower.

Or if you are under 30 ,Shutter Island.

never :O its almost as bad as ted danson being the new lead role in c.s.i.

Yeah I saw that and the CSI producers promise ( being serious here) "more comedy this season".
The only good part is that there is going to be a long story arc about Katherine being passed over as head whatever it is again.
Truthfully though CSI hasn't been that great ever since Grissom left.

i must admit i have only watched a couple of the episodes with Laurence fishburne in it. and like you say its not the same without him .
and hell i am nearly as old as ted. well not quite that old but still come on he is not going to catch any suspects...oh and back on track i better find a movie to review or a can see an infraction coming my way.

I started to watch Shark Night but I decided that I don't like to see people die unpleasantly . Not even unlikeable underwritten stereotypes.
Funny thing I was basically raised on old horror movies but I guess then it wasn't simply all about the death.

well i am a big horror and thriller fan myself hence thc and cinemaggedon being my 2 fav sites to watch all kinds of wonderful and not so wonderful stuff .
i like documentaries and the like but not so keen to watch stuff with animals either killing or being killed...

You probably will like Identity then, it is a psychological thriller with a fairly gruesome twist, and builds the suspense well. Despite what grumpy says, it is a good film for it's genre.

which big brother are you talking about idol.

The one where a bunch of people are sequestered in a house and the object is to see who can be the biggest fame whore.

Sort of like the Kardashians except for the sequestering part.

oh dear the incredibly boring celeb thats a laugh big bro 2011 has just finished. and i would just like to say that there is a god up there after all....

just finished watching identity . and it was a real dark film literally.
the movie wasn't bad in places and the motel shot at the start of the film reminded me of bates motel.overall i would give it a 7/10 rating

21 Gramms. Quite a mediocre story slightly enhanced through the use of clever editing, which allowed the director to create a vague intrigue. I'd give it a meh 5.5/10.

I finally got around to see Due Date as it was on cable and I apparently don't steal anything anymore.
Anyway I was pleasantly surprised as it was a lot better than I thought it would be.

Sure there is only the barest bones of a story and the ending is by far the worst part of the whole thing but before that there are many truly funny scenes with (shockingly ) enough nuance to make me feel the writer actually cared about what was happening onscreen.
I actually thought it (Due Date) was better than the oft praised The Hangover. Possibly because Robert Downey is both a better actor and infinitely more likable that Bradley Cooper.

If you take the movie for what it is, a collection of pretty funny stuff and don't look to hard for either sense or story then Due Date isn't half bad at all.

Got to Watch Man from No where, a korean flick. Nice movie, nothing that stands out thou. Koreans make great Villains, its like its in their blood to look badass. And I don't know if its me or not, but whenever I watch Japanese, Chinese or similar Asian flicks; the people acting in it fall into exactly two categories: They are beautiful/handsome or they are not. There seems to be no middle ground there.

I watched The Siege http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133952/ again. Although naive in it's outrage that American forces took a suspected terrorist leader by force (since we all know about rendition now) the film is eerily prophetic about the motives of the terrorists in wanting to strike back at a country they saw as abandoning them when the political winds shifted.
Of course now we know that the plans of the terrorists can be far more elaborate than those in the scope of this film, yet it shows a series of terrorist attacks from both sides, and also goes deeper than just good versus evil, showing that the so called good can be evil. The movie is a clever moral play underneath the veneer of the action and is definitely one of Denzel Washington's better roles.

I saw it ( also again) recently and like you the thing that really struck me was that this was released a year before 9/11 and probably in pre-production for a couple of years prior to that.
Prophetic yes.Eerily prophetic I don't know as the American response of blind ethnic profiling detailed in the film dates back to the American-Japanese in WWII.

Last movie what I watched, was Thor. It was one of the best movies in this summer. What could be better? If there would be more scifi effects!

I agree, it was genius.
I thought the plot twist where it turns out Anthony Hopkins character is a narcoleptic was brilliant ("Will he wake up? Will he continue napping? Is sleep-acting hard?").

Anyone watching any of them Indie films that got released in the last couple of weeks? (Bereavement, Griff the Invisible (original idea), Page Eight, Setup, The Guard etc) What are your thoughts on them?

The Speed of Thought reminds me of Jumper but the low rating on IMDb is turning me off it. Another interesting one is called Trust (2010) and has a decent rating on IMDb; might give that a watch tomorrow.

TRS reviewed Contagion the other day and spoke very highly of it, asserting that it was suspenseful and a true reboot of the "disease infection" genre of films that were popular in the 90's. TRS's, Dan Trachtenberg recently did the Portal short if you haven't seen it already. It's called "No Escape"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4drucg1A6Xk

Don't expect anything to suspenseful ... or even remotely to do with Portal, apart from the gun :)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Bonehead movie title of the year. Really Hollywood, what was wrong with the perfectly obvious "Rise of the Apes: Electric Boogaloo"?

Finally, the entry in the franchise that makes it obvious how apes took over...these guys are fast, furious and crazy agile.
The apes are beautifully realized, the (ape) action sequences fluidly intense.
Apropos of nothing...it occurs to me that apes would easily understand the Battle Room lessons in Enders Game.

Rise is of course a blockbuster summer movie, so nuance and subtlety are not highly valued (and wasted on the apes anyway) but the broad strokes aren't terribly overdone and the whole shebang is glued together by the amazing job of creating Caesar.

Given that Caesar is the ur-ape and center of the whole film, it was absolutely vital that his screen presence be not just believable, but sympa/empathetic.
And he is.
He outactresses the (titular) humans in the movie (except maybe John Lithgow who does "confused" very well) and is the pinnacle of modern CGI (that I've seen lately).

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is exactly what a big sloppy summer popcorn flick is supposed to be...entertaining.

I do have one small quibble...
After years of isolation, when Caesar finally escapes, wouldn't one of his priorities be getting laid?
You know, kind of a simian Rumspringa?

Everything Must Go

I had been wanting to see this for months. I saw the trailer for it when I saw 'Win:Win' (great movie also) and waited for the release date. The only theater in Austin that was showing it, didn't do so for long and I missed out. I was not happy. I finally found it in the NZB Index and watched it. Great fuckin' movie. I thought Will Ferrell nailed his role of a homeless, out of work, relapsed alcoholic. The young black kid in the movie is "Biggie's" son, so that was interesting. Anyhow, check it out, it's a solid flick.

Saw Knocked Up. One of the best movie I have watched after a very very long long long time from Hollywood. That movie is pure awesomeness. Its like awesomeness is flowing and leaking through the cracks and stuff. Must watch. Never felt this good recently after watching a movie ( except for Little miss sunshine ).

Little Miss Sunshine was horrible! Maybe it's because I'm not a pedo and expected it to be a comedy!

final destination 5 all i can is it was much better than final destination 4. but of course it wasn't titled that, it was called the final destination.
i thought that was going to be it but the movie was so bad they made final destination 5 to compensate it and thats an understatement.
