What was the last movie you watched?

Iron Fisted Monk:Don't think I have ever seen Hammo Sung so young (no smaller though). Quite a surprising film really, I mean the Manchu's were real bastards in the film, multiple rapes with one woman committing suicide, murders & mass slaughter, not used to such dark Kung Fu fare.

It's Sammo Hung, though I totally get why'd you write that.

Werewolf of London: This 1935 version of the Werewolf mythology was rushed out by Universal when they lost the bidding rights to the (apparently definitive) origin of the werewolf in Guy Endore's The Werewolf in Paris.  The slapdash nature of the movie is mostly evident in its plot which concerns a rare Tibetan plant which is the only substance known to control Lycanthropy.  Again, pretty dull, but the Werewolf make-up is pretty decent, and some supporting roles are nicely hammed up.

The Mask of Fu Manchu: Boris Karloff stars in this 1932 effort, and does about as well as Christopher Lee would do 30 years later.  The plot is some hokum about Fu Manchu and the British government in a race to discover Genghis Khan's tomb.  Stylish, with some nice work from the cast - particularly a young Myrna Loy as Karloff's sadistic-nympho daughter - it's not a bad 60 minutes.

Takes a lot to impress you, I guess.

Hahaha oops. I googled it and everything, on the SH wikipedia page it's referred to as a comedy!

The Lookout

Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank (Out of Sight, Get Shorty) makes his directorial debut with this intelligent crime thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick, Mysterious Skin) as a down-and-out janitor recruited by a crew of dangerous bank robbers planning a heist. Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale), Matthew Goode (Match Point), Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) and Carla Gugino (Sin City) round out the ensemble cast.

Marie Antoinette: Alright I guess, perhaps a bit boring, I really didn't get what the deal was with the clapping.

Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla (2002) on Telemundo - even though I don't understand Spanish.

And I didn't make a bit of difference really...

Great flick - better than Jaws.

That poster is pretty sweet. I think I might have to see that one Isaac.

We really need the spoiler tags to work again.

Oops sorry about that, fixed it.

Is it just me or are the spoiler tags not working?  That's what I meant.
