Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
The Last Seduction (1994)- Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, Jeff Daniels.
Fiorentino plays Bridget/Wendy, a totally sociopathic femme fatale, Daniels her husband and Berg the small town man she manipulates.
The Last Seduction is a noir film that ignores most of the conventional tropes but amps up the "bad girl" character to Hannibal Lector levels (no, she's not a cannibal).
She's evil with a great set of gams and a unwavering approach to getting what she wants.
It's obvious from the beginning that Wendy is a schemer, the joy of the movie is that she's more ruthless and cunning as the plot unwinds.
Fiorentino is amazing, her work was Oscar caliber but she was ineligible because the film was shown on HBO before it's theatrical release.
The Last Seduction is great fun and well worth hunting down.
Or, you could just go see The Last Airbender and revel in the CGI.
Which you choose pretty much defines your sensibilities.

Just saw Flash of Geniushttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054588/. It is the "true" story of the man who invented intermittent wiper blades. Ford stole his idea. The inventor fights back at a time when "the little guy" didn't do that.
It is a decent drama. I prefer strong courtroom battles to be more fierce/impassioned in the courtroom, but it's just ok.
It is watchable, but keep your expectations of excitement low. 6/10
Also recently watched Micmacs http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1149361/. It's French. They love Jerry Lewis. :idunno: However, if you have ever admired the rare talent it takes to pull off a Peter Sellers Pink Panther performance, give this one a "shot". <-- It's a pun regarding the main character. The story is decent, the characters are likable, and it expresses some political ideas at the same time. 7.5/10

Killers it`s a very good movie you must watch it .
Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Twilight: Eclipse- starring several (presumably) warm bodies.
OK, forget the wretched source material (Christopher Nolan did and look what he wrought), forget the wretched acting (it's hard), forget the target audience...Eclipse is a fuckin poorly made movie.
Crap editing, reliance on soundtrack emo songs to convey what the actors cannot, original Star Trek grade special effects, this film barely qualifies for the Lifetime Channel much less a theater.
The producers show their disdain for the Twihards by not even trying, knowing full well that it won't matter, the franchise is money in the bank no matter what they put up on the screen.
Geez, if you're going to pick $10 from the pockets of your fans with a stupid story (and no one disputes that the Twilight Saga is supremely stupid), a little effort would be appreciated.
In fifteen years or so, women of a certain age will revisit these movies and feel nothing but rage.
I began to feel it 20 minutes into my first viewing.

Clash of the Titans - Great movie! Has a great story and the special effects are amazing!
Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Clash of the Titans
Better than i expected it to be as it received poopy reviews. Good action.
Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Clash of the Titans truly terribly film.It's like if you set out to make a parody and then at the last minute decided that if you promoted it as a "3D ACTIONER!!!!" you would sell more tickets .
Expect to see it on whatever incarnation of Mystery Science Theatre there is in the future.
White Out : Starts out reasonably strongly , has some passable characters and decent moments of suspense but makes progressively less sense as it go along until by the end you basically just go wtf?

Could either of you two enlighten me please...
After watching the movie, what exactly would be the attraction of being one of the gods?
All I saw was stupid costumes (really, Zeus wears medieval armor?) and standing around on little round platforms...looked boring to tell the truth.
Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Prince of Persia. Nice production, the last nice movie I looked and liked, that's already a long moment before...
