What was the last movie you watched?

[Tripe]

Hmm not sure about the porpoise directed erotica but do the DVDs have director commentaries, I've heard those are pricelessly funny.

Bloodrayne. It seems Uwe Boll has gotten slightly better and moved out of so-bad-it's-funny right into just-plain-bad.

Why is that an improvement?  Personally if somethings that bad I want to at least get a laugh out of it.   

[mrbasehart]

I mean there's a few out there that might have some sort of secondary artistic impact.

That sentence right there, when you're talking about porn, is just plain filthy.

If they were trying to serious I imagine they would be.

[MontyServo]

A Mighty Heart - Great performance from Angelina Jolie in an otherwise lackluster film.

The Fountain - Trippy.  Very trippy.

Music And Lyrics - Only got through about 25 minutes of this one before sending it back to Netflix.  Not very good at all.  Like an unfunny sitcom.

[The Televator]

Fahrenheit 451 from the 1960s. I had to watch it for my Cinematic Studies: Science Fiction class...I kinda wish I didn't cause it sucked real bad.

The fact that it had very little from the book and the acting was just terrible. I mean I have seen really great movie adaptations like the 1960s Time Machine and others, but this one just got to me.

[Ortega]

The King_ a movie about a 21 year-old Iraqi War Veteran who meets his Minister father who he's never met.  A weird , weird movie.  Though William Hurt did a good job.   One of those character study-type movies. 

[Compound]

8 hours of SCTV's 4th Season. Not really a movie, unless you count Mauldlin's 11. Or Francis Ford Coppola's 3d Stake from the Heart. Or Chariots of Eggs.

Out of Sight

J-Lo is a much better actress than a singer.

And really good with Clooney in this one, too.

A few more from me:

Knights of the Round Table: Colourful, but stodgy, adaptation of the Arthurian legend, with - a very American - Robert Taylor as Lancelot and Ava Gardner as Guinevere.  I preferred Excalibur.

Ratatouille: Another wonderful effort from Pixar, right up there with The Incredibles as their best.  I think they needed something like this after the generally disappointing Cars.

The Incredible Shrinking Man: Teriffic sci-fi movie where, after being exposed to various toxins, begins to shrink.  Eventually becoming so small that he lives in a doll house and fearing the pet cat.  Things really kick into gear when he falls into the basement and has to fight for survival against a common house spider.  It may sound goofy, but the special effects are excellent - for the fifties, anyway - and the premise is taken completely seriously.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: This 1939 effort stars Charles Laughton as the titular character and Maureen O'Hara as Esmerelda.  The downbeat ending of the novel has been jettisoned, but the rest of the story is pretty faithful, with excellent cinematography and a beautifully sympathetic performance from Laughton.  O'Hara is stunning, but miscast.

Son of Frankenstein: The second sequel to Frankenstein is pretty good, with Basil Rathbone as the Baron's son who slowly becomes entranced by his father's work.  Lugosi is fine as Igor, the malevolent assistant and Karloff does his usual stumbling around.  Of particular note is the excellent production design - the sets are wonderfully gothic and ruinous, while the weather ranges from light monsoon to full-scale water attrition.

I can understand the label of ET as a Halloween movie, same thing with Donnie Darko ... it just has that October feel to it

Yeah, I can see it too.

Need to add The Crow to my list this year, been too long since I've seen that one.
