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

Stargate (1994)

So (1994) is your opinion then?
I figured with James Spader in it it would be more along the lines of (1997):mellow:

The Runaways. It was a good movie based on a true story about the all girl band in 1975.

Glad to hear it.
Have never heard of this movie, have no clue what it's about and you gave me absolutely no reason to share your enthusiasm.

So, thanks for that.

It's about a guy who makes unimpressive, unsubstantiated online movie reviews, clocker. It has a fairly large following, I'm told...

The Jackal (1997) really very much good movie

The Day of the Jackal (1973) really very much better movie.

Evidence. Fred Zimmerman , Edward Fox and script veering toward the believable versus Richard Gere and big gun.

Paranormal Activity.

was nice. bit slow but with different approach

Caught “Eye of the Tiger” starring Gary Busey on cable last night. I love trashy B-movies and this 80’s cheesefest was among the worst I’ve seen (making it one of the best!). A standard revenge flick that runs through the checklist of clichés and doesn’t just telegraph plot twists in advance … it displays them on a giant neon billboard. A nasty bike gang ride 150cc trail bikes and are totally unscary, Yaphet Kotto is a cool cop, and Busey ends up tooling around in a high-tech, death-dealing Dodge pickup. Spoiler alert –the scene that cracked me up is when the gang dig up the coffin containing Busey’s wife (who they killed) and drag it back to his house with their trail bikes, and his reaction is to throw up (not so funny in as I type it in, but side-splitting for the viewer). Highly recommended for fans of “what the hell were the writers thinking?”-type movies!

Jackie Brown (1997)

Watched it several years ago. Decided yesterday its evening time with Quentin. Anyway, great acting from the whole crew. Plenty of interesting dialogs.

Bull Durham again unfortunately on TSN (Canadian sports network) which meant it was censored to the point of ruining it. Stupidity of running a movie with adult dialogue and then editing it so that you end up staring at the people with their lips moving but nothing coming out wondering what the fuck is going on..
Otherwise terrific movie .Anyone that says Kevin Costner is a no talent should watch this or basically anything of his before The Postman and maybe reassess their thinking.
Also I mentioned the film contained adult dialogue but really everything about Bull Durham is adult and I mean that in the best possible ( non -pornographic) way.Nice to see real romance between two equals instead of having to endure Jennifer Anni-stun or the other shit that passes for studio entertainment these days.

Welcome, Mate! Thanks for not only taking the time to write a good review, but also for bringing a movie to my attention that I never heard of before. Well done. :)

Iron Monkey (1993)

Wow, what a martial arts movie! It was apparent on a few instances that wires were used, but sometimes I didn't know if what I was looking at was exactly what was filmed or had it been edited in some way. My hat goes of to Donnie Yen.

The ending was a little over the top, though. Fighting while standing on burning poles? C'mon!

Stop-loss 8/10

Operation Endgame (2010)- Jeffrey Tambour, Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis.

It's hard to describe this genre-bending movie- part comedy, part slasher film, part political screed- but it really doesn't matter...it's fun to watch.

The Factory is a deep black ops unit, split in two (supposedly equalizing) teams and charged with hiding all the government's failed covert operations.
On the day of Obama's inauguration, the head of the unit is killed, triggering a lockdown and timed destruction of the facility...with everyone trapped inside.

Mayhem ensues.

As a "message" movie, Operation Endgame is a mess...in fact, by most normal standards, the whole movie is a mess but the (startlingly) high quality cast is clearly having a blast and the body count is ridiculously high, not to mention quite inventive (death by paper shredder anyone?).

Not my normal cup o tea but for some reason, very enjoyable.
Watch it just to see Rob Corddry's perpetually drunken rants, they're hilarious.

Inception.
omg what an amazing movie. nolan is really a good director and ellen page, DiCaprio and the other actors were very good too.
of course the effects were awesome ,)

Coup Out it is amazing comedy movie for me . Im always lauginh wchated :D

the blind side
it was touching. Sandra bullock was very good. sometimes i wanna watch this kind of film.

Death.at.a.Funeral.2010.It's really nice movie

just re-watched the transporter, and every time i see it the less i like it.

shitty shit. AKA Knight and Day

Cop out.
It's really awesome comedy action movie:)

Nothing But The Truth
7.5/10

The Ghost Writer- Ewan MacGregor, Pierce Brosnan. Directed by Roman Polanski.

A ghost writer is brought in at the last moment to work with an ex-Prime Minister of England writing his memoirs.
There is more going on than he knows.

I honestly cannot figure out why this movie was made.
The story meanders, the "mystery" is uninvolving.
The acting is competent enough but nothing spectacular or noteworthy.

"Meh" may be trite these days but is perfectly descriptive of my reaction at the end.

Avatar - good. too long though

I hope they serve beer in hell.
had low expectations and it was better than i expected

im watched lastest movie prince of persia..

There Will Be Blood (2007)- Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Dillon Freasier

I had to be talked into watching this film, but it turned out to be not at all what I was expecting. To attempt a genre definition beyond "period character study" is beyond my meagre attempts; I feel I am still processing what I viewed. Roger Ebert puts it far more eloquently: "Watching the movie is like viewing a natural disaster that you cannot turn away from. By that I do not mean that the movie is bad, any more than it is good. It is a force beyond categories. It has scenes of terror and poignancy, scenes of ruthless chicanery, scenes awesome for their scope, moments echoing with whispers and an ending that in some peculiar way this material demands, because it could not conclude on an appropriate note -- there has been nothing appropriate about it."

Daniel Day-Lewis' character is reprehensible and well aware of it (a scene with his half-brother (Kevin O'Connor) demonstrates this superbly). To describe anything further risks spoilers, but Day-Lewis' award for this performance is well-earned. While it seems an odd thing to say, Dillon Freasier's character is a natural part of the scenery without fading entirely into the background- a testament to the acting ability of this young man. Paul Dano's character is a successful foil for Day-Lewis, as well as intriguing and ambiguous in his own right. There are gorgeous cinematic shots of sun-baked hills and scrub brush, but although shot in the same location, the land doesn't become a character as in No Country For Old Men. The soundtrack is bizarre, but fitting and not overpowering.

My main complaint is the pacing. This is a slow movie. It feels much longer than its 2h35min running time. It also skips time, jarringly in some instances. This results in plot threads left unresolved, or in a resolution that occurs off-screen without any on-screen callback...the aftermath just is. This doesn't create confusion for the viewer, just some frustration at not knowing the details in a film obsessed with details. Paradoxically, an extra 15-20min near the end (where the largest time-skips occur) may have given a more even result.

I'm not sure if I'll watch this one again. If I do, it will be in several years. But I'm glad I did. 9/10.

:shuriken:

i watched last night grwon ups with sandler and james. these 2 did a good job in the move. lots of fun stuff in the move but some crap too.

I just saw Inception this weekend and it was mind blowing. Props to Nolan for his wonderful directing.
