What was the last movie you saw?

The Taking of Pelham 123. I got roped into it somehow.

Went this last Thursday night to go watch Bruno. It might be the gayest movies I have ever seen in my entire life, literally. But at the same time it was geniunely hilarious and the uncomfortable-ness in this movie is through the roof. I would definitely recommend anyone that likes Borat to go check this movie out as well.

Bad movie.

If HoH doesn't mind, I'm changing this to "What was the last movie you saw?" - it will hopefully get more activity that way.

This weekend I've watched:

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
2010: The Year We Make Contact
Tideland

And I'm currently in the middle of Sleepy Hollow.

Three Terry Gilliams, two with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, which neatly ties my weekend viewings of Terry Gilliam films to the Tim Burton film. The Sci-Fi classic was simply that.

Interesting how Tim Burton films always have big name actors in them...

And it was interesting to see that Gilliam can do so many different styles of film.

What did you think of Fear and Loathing?

Last movie I watched: Miracle at St. Anna - great WWII movie, I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Strange. Very, very strange. There was no discernible plot, but the effects were good, and the drug taking was truly outrageous - the first scene in the car was hilarious. And I found the scenes in the flooded hotel room very surreal.

I'd be interested to know how true to life the effects of the drugs were.

EDIT: Sleep Hollow is an... interesting film. Some of the acting is very shaky, but Christopher Walken makes up for it with has badass Headless Horseman.

District 9. And I fucking loved it.

Tim Burton is a god in his own little niche.

Last movie I saw...Half Blood Prince.

Any good? Everyone I know says it's rather bad the first time they see it (which isn't surprising - the book wasn't much), but that it gets better on second viewing.

JR - District 9. Tell me about ittt!

I enjoyed the movie a lot. Certain scenes were very well done (The cave at the end), and I love Luna and Draco.

I want to see 9, though. Like, a lot.

Werner Herzog's documentary, Encounters At The End Of The World.
Recommended to any adept and non-adept at post-war European doc-
umentary works.

The last movie I saw was 9...it was okay. The animation and idea of it was interesting though. The last movie I saw that I loved was District 9. The underlying context of the movie was amazing and witty.

Thor exceeded my expectations.

The story is great, the CGI is phenomenal, it's a movie where you genuinely can't predict the ending after only 30 minutes, and it is just a blast to watch. Very highly recommended.

Inglorious Basterds. It was very well done, and Brad Pitt is hilarious in the movie. Although I must warn those with a weak stomach. There is a lot of gore and twisted imagery in the movie. It honestly makes Pulp Fiction look like a Disney movie.

Go see it!

Agreed. District 9 has a very unique storyline. It isn't your ol' "Aliens vs. Humans" movie. I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. You will not be dissapointed.

Saw District 9 today and I agree with all above that it's a very good film. The ending is... well, it's not exactly happy, but it's a typical ending to a blockbuster - big fight, people die, the party that wants to do something gets it done, the bad guy pops up after the action and gets killed. It's not "happy" because the film isn't happy. The CGI was very good - I'd love something like the navigation technology the aliens have.

After seeing it I thought to myself, "This film is a fantastic standalone film - there's not going to be anything else". I've thought it about films such as Hancock and Cloverfield, too, and it saddens me that the industry is in a phase where it feels the need to constantly produce franchise films. What I'd like to see more of is films like D9, Hancock and CF - films that are single films created from completely new material (not an adaptation of a book, or a comic, or a remake of an old film). Sure, they're all good in their own ways, but they just can't compare to something fresh.
