What was the last movie you watched?

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, quite enjoyed it actually, the Giant Squid was better than I expected.

Didn't need to see Kurt Douglas wiggle his butt though.

I watched that last weekend, hadn't seen it since I was 12.

Trinity and Beyond.

Holy Fuck!

[RVR II]

SHEEEEIT!!!

Watched Resident Evil 3 last night with Tyrant. It's more her kind of movie than mine, but I enjoyed it. Plenty of action, plenty of zombies. By this time the movies have veered so far from video game continuity as to be an alternate universe, but it's an interesting one.

Also watched Superman: Doomsday today. Voice acting wasn't perfect, but good animation and a good story.

Fracture Great story, good execution, horrible horrible ending. Still worth watching

Oscar-Sly Stalone as a mob boss trying to go straight, one of the absolute funniest movies I've ever seen.

I saw a test screening of Seth Rogen's new film PINEAPPLE EXPRESS.  Like Superbad it was written by Rogen and Goldberg, and produced but not directed by Apatow. 

Click to see James Franco as a drug dealer.  Nothing earth shattering, but its funny and you may want to wait...

<BR>

It stars James Franco and Rogen as two stoners who get into trouble with the law, drug lords and other nasty people.  Definitely an R rated pic.

We were the fifth audience to see the film, and although its very funny in spots, it just doesn't have the heart that Appatow's directorial efforts have shown.   But the script by Rogen and Goldberg has some hilarious moments, and after they tighten up the film in some spots it will be a great comedy, mostly because of the pitch-perfect performace by Franco.  It'll be interesting to see how they market this film, because it definitely takes a turn during the third act.

The last DVD I watched was BIG: Extended Version.  Twenty minutes have been added to the already long movie, and although its mostly fluff that was wisely cut out of the theatrical version, its very cool to see Josh hard at work on his comic book idea, or Josh and Billy picking out the white suit...<BR>

Flash Gordon (1980), so horribly entertaining.

Just saw The Brave One.  I gotta admit, it's the sort of film I would've avoided if I had any choice in the matter - but I had to watch it tonight and it wasn't bad.  Jodie Foster is - as always - excellent, but I thought the entire thing was just a little too... neat.  It was exactly like an upmarket Death Wish movie, with some juicy characterisation for the lead thrown in.

I liked The Brave One a great deal. I couldn't help but notice that, in the thread someone started about it, most of the people bagging on it hadn't seen it, and an overwhelming majority of them are male. It's been my experience that men are frequently discomfited by the notion of violent female revenge fantasy.

Also, until yesterday, when I watched the Star Trek Generations RiffTrax with friends, it was the last movie I had seen. King of Kong tomorrow night, bitches!

King of Kong is pretty great.  Anyways, my problem with the film was that it wasn't violent enough! 

I think if the violence was more explicit, then it would serve a double purpose - we'd see just how badly the couple were beaten (as opposed to the cut-aways) which would've helped the audience when she began her revenge, but with the violence being as explicit as it was at the begining, it would also make the audience question her actions, rather than just root for her the entire movie (well, not the entire movie, at the very begining, the couple are so cloyingly happy I couldn't wait for the angst to begin  ).   But the camera always feels a little removed from the action, we're observers rather than participants - unlike, say, Irreversible, which forces the viewer to be complicit in the actions on screen.  But there were a lot of good things, mainly the performances of Foster and Howard - and I quite liked the ending.

Ever see Dirty Weekend Baseheart? I ask you specifically cause I don't know if it was ever released in the States.

[mrbasehart]

On the whole, I tend to avoid Michael Winner like the plague.

Oh and your right too, but it certainly has the Violent Woman's Revenge aspect down.
