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

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009). Swedish film from a popular writer there. Yes, it has subtitles, but the blu-ray is already available and they read well into a coherent story of a long-lost girl and research being conducted to find her. There's plenty of action, the acting is quite good, and the characters warrant exploration into the other two films (also available) in the Millennial series.

One note, the original Swedish title translates to, "Men Who Hate Women". There are lots of scenes that live up to this title. However, it is quite central to the story.

Prior to this movie, and Let the Right One In (also highly recommended), this was the only Swedish I believe I had ever heard... :P

Allen & Freddie"Ja. Ja. Oh, ja. Yes. Sure. Ja. Ja."
Walter: "Well..."
Vakt: "Just a second. Vad gör en svensk vetenskapmän så långt iväg från Sverige?"
Freddie: "Hej raring, jag har en 12 tums penis."
Vakt: "Aahhh...."

När de har blivit insläppta i nästa korridor undrar Allen över Freddies svenskkunskaper:

Allen: "How the hell did you do that?"
Freddie: "Well, let me tell you something. Many of your finer nudie films come from Sweden. Well, after you see them 400-500 times this stuff starts to sink in."

Also, saw The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2009). Let's say you are a young, aspiring director with a limited budget and a lot of talent. The best way to get noticed is to take 3 quality actors, a good camera person, an interesting script, and make your mark. This movie is a solid example of what can be done with that kind of talent and ambition. Everything has to come together, or it will be a snoozer. This minimalist thriller was quite worthy of my time, and I believe it will be worth yours.

Jeez I must be psychic.

You inspire me. :P

ESP :o

That will be interesting to see him dressed up with the goth make-up, piercings, and playing as a woman. If he pulls it off, I'll put him up there with Gary Oldman for range of characters.

Gary Oldman is actually a woman,that's how good he she is.

It wouldn't surprise me. He's played Beethoven, and a black pimp. Who else could do that? :idunno:

just saw the expendables, ok movie, but overrated..

You mean because he's not black or because he's not a pimp?

Just yesterday I watched Shutter Island. Although I never liked that Leonardo DiCaprio f** I must admit that was one brilliant piece of movie entertainment

Kick-ass and really does kick-ass. awesome movie.

Judging from the name of this thread, and your inability to answer the question fully, I think we can assume the storyline, plot, and characters were all to complex for you. :ermm:

Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009) - First off i hate dogs.But the episode in Futurama with the dog waiting for fry gets to me.:ghey:Well it turned out, The episode was based on a true events about a japanese dog waiting over ten years for its master, Showing great loyalty.It turned out it didnt work as a full movie and is kinda slow.Im not a Drama type of person or kids drama movie.Give it a look if you have a dog.Maybe it will get to you as I've read in the IMDB reviews...:mellow:

I have two cats so you are preaching to the choir but a dog would die for you without a moments hesitation.
I think we should all love dogs and hate NFL players instead.

Well maybe hate was too strong of a word.I just dont like the way people around here let their dogs roam the streets and it scares/annoys me.But thats for another thread.

Then it's the people who are the problem and not the dogs.
Really in my experience how pets behave is usually a total reflection on how their owners do.

The Other Guys. Mark Walberg tried to make the film serious, but Ferrel was one step ahead. The movie itself was funny, but the storyline was the same cliche that was used in Get Smart starring Steve Carell.

Personally, it scares/annoys me when NFL players are allowed to roam the streets. OJ anyone? :(

stargate...

......

Saw Karate Kid.an ok movie,nothing to dislike in it(maybe the crush-romance part,kinda lame that was) and nothing spectacular to appreciate either.A one time see movie.Visually the movie was glamorous enough,the kid acted really nice imo(behaviour of a kid who got butt hurt was acted perfectly),the movie had its moments and moreover I am a fan of jackie chan :P.

Saw Salt and Shutter Island.Salt was fun to watch,pure action where bourne got substituted by salt.But got me into thinking,can a women really do all that jumping and stuff,I mean their bodies can only handle so much.Most woman will go down once they get a hard kick/punch on their stomach unless they have abs lol.Also she picked up a poisonous spider with her bare hands in a scene,wtf!

Shutter Island was just kick ass.Love those type of movies.But I found a glitch in the movie.
Take a look at the screen shot:

The scene where the mental patient is being interrogated and then she asks for water and the SS is of her drinking the water but with no glass.Well it may be old stuff but new for me :P

/oops,double post.

I don't know which backwater rathole you come from where you have experience with kicking and punching women in the stomach but contrary to what you were lead to believe women are tougher than men. Not on average stronger mind you but built with a higher pain threshold .Simple fact.

In communist Russia, women kick and punch you...

So let me get this straight , what you are saying is in your alternate universe where communist Russia still exists women kick and punch you?
OK I except that. It still makes more sense than anything Abybeats has writtten.

The Russians are so wily that they have tricked the world into believing they are no longer communists hell-bent on taking over the world. I've got one living across the street from me- he looks suspicious... :fear2:

Speaking of suspicious Russians, I went paintballing this past weekend. There was a Russian team, and they were just too good, if you know what I mean. I decided to test them out, so I hid behind a wall for a whole round, and they still found me. Now make of that what you must, but I'm with MBM on this one. There's an entire secret army of them that can see through walls. It's the only logical explanation.

As for last watched movie: Dinner for Schmucks. I won't be one of the somber people who denies I laughed, but I will be respectable enough to say I regretted doing so. It wasn't a "classic" comedy movie, but rather a movie that tried to be offensively, reservedly, funny. The only issue is, unlike classics in a similar theme, such as "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" or "With Honors" (which I thought was fantastic), we never got to see Paul Rudd get pushed to the edge. Most of the mishaps were more than an easy fix, and with him unable to act out a gradual decrease in his patience, it seemed quite intangible losing his temper so promptly after the movie started.

Cheesy ending, aside, it was a movie that I didn't regret wasting its runtime out of my life for; and I appreciated the fact that they didn't find an impending necessity to integrate the movie's title into the script somehow. I expected the title to be worked into a certain scene on a terrace where Rudd says "This dinner isn't what you think it is... it's a dinner for idiots, a dinner for schmucks," but the script bowed out of the opportunity just in time. One thing I would have enjoyed to see in the ending, was for everything to go back to the way it was, before the movie started, save for Rudd having a better position, but in the spirit of a family/comedy movie of sorts, I assume the director went in the ideal direction of not having a redeemed hero work hand-in-hand with, what were portrayed (unbelievably so) as people with an extreme sense of detachment.

EDIT: I wish just once, a screenplay writer would realize the fact that Chaplin didn't even need more than intertitles to make people laugh, and the Three Stooges made for a better comedic experience in a bloody canoe, as opposed to what "Dinner for Schmucks" achieved with a hawk, a fraudulent psychic, a brain control freak, and a dead mouse collector stuck together in one room.

More reasonable explanation is that they just followed the sound of your whimpering.

As for Dinner with Schmucks as you probably know it's a remake of the French film Le Dîner De Cons.The problem being is that Mericans in film at least , are afraid to go for the jugular and portray themselves as really irredeemably unlikable even when the part screams for it.Hence you are left with half- measure assholes and endearing idiots which is simply not what the movie is all about.

The Expendables (2010) - I enjoyed it:)With the all star cast and so on.Blood,Guts,Guns, and bad guys.It was a bit unrealistic with the body chopping off parts but why hold it against them.The film was exciting and funny at some times.I also got to see Stone Cold Steve Austin fight MMA legend Randy Couture, It was cool!I like the part where Sylvester Stallone says to willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to become president:lol:

Expendables.

Piranha - 2010

lol, i thought this was a lot better than expected. so much blood and bones! i loved that part of the film and of course there wasn't much else to this but the gore factor which was fine by me. this in fact was a worthy remake imo. nothing like seeing a human being torn apart in seconds by flesh craved "extinct" fish. they left the ending open for a sequel. i'll definitely be checking that out too. if u wanna see countless bodies torn apart limb by limb this is ur movie! red water, wet tits and great scotts! 7.5/10

Macgruber - 2010

horrible, horrible film. when the lonely island announced they had a film coming out i was excited until i saw the trailer. just by watching that i knew it was gonna suck. i try to finish all films i start and i did manage to make it through this in 2 sittings. not one laugh or any sense of satisfaction what so ever. i nominate this the #1 worst film of 2010. celery, mullets and nuclear castrations. .5/10 (for the soundtrack i guess)

So bad its good?Im downloading:) Will review...

Max Payne

Macgruber (2010) - It does has It's moments.Not a "pay to see it" by no means but the movie is funny.Not too long either.Just dont think of it as a MacGyver mock.6/10
