View Full Version : whats the last film you watched?
Transformers - mindless CGI involving massive robots smashing up cars / buildings / each other - yum yum. Embarrassingly childish in places (two minutes in 'til the end credits to be precise) it's a pleasing enough way to kill over two precious hours of ones life. Couldn't make out which robot was which at the end and it didn't matter a jot.

Bring on Iron Man...
Where did you get to see it on the big screen ? I remember seeing the Director's Cut when it first got (re) released at the Odeon Leicester Square and it was an amazingly huge screen and the sound ...... wow.
In one of the Cineworld cinemas. It was Fruji Film Festival and ''Blade Runner'' was one of many great films they showed, ''The Godfather'', ''Jaws'', ''True Romance'', ''Gladiator'', ''Kill Bill'' and a lot more. This festival was at Odeon as well. Four Thursdays with different films at different Cineworld and Odeon cinemas, and all about one time.
The Amityville Horror (2005) What a crap!:mad: Oryginal is perfect. It has worrying atmosphere and is really scary.
Most of the remakes should be banned. What's the point?

not a film, but i've had a "weird weekends" weekend XD
adore louis. especially in the ufo one where he's throwing rocks into area 51, running away from the white cherokee's and playing david bowie on his guitar like a rebellious teenager. le swoon!
yeah, and the docu's good too.
watched Broken Flowers ..yeah I liked that one ... I saw Iron Man too but in German so I missed out on the finer details ...
also must see's are Tideland by Gilliam I don't care for his stuff that much but this was great ..

Millenium Actress (Sennen joyû)
17036
It's an interview, a history of Japan through the ages, a documentary, a love story, a vignette of recollection, a fantasy and above all a Kubrickian time-travelling sci-fi head fuck. Film scenes become reality become memory become mixed with the interview that cause them to be recounted in the first place. Narrative moves forwards and backwards, things repeat across time and people turn up where they should, shouldn't and couldn't.
The head scrambling shouldn't be a surprise as it's by the director of "Perfect Blue", Satoshi Kon, but where that movie left me somewhat quaking in a ball in the corner this one left me with an overflowing heart & head, both fulfilled and wanting more.
Quite simply one of the best anime films I've ever seen in my life and one that you should sit down and watch too.
Extraordinary & completely life affirming.
'No Country For Old Men' - The Coen Brothers couldn't make a bad film if they tried. A mad film yes, but not a bad one.
"Jar City"
An Icelandic film about the murky secrets uncovered during a murder investigation. Not bad at all. Rather bleak though and it reveals a rancid, festering, nasty side of the country.

"Tomb Raider - Ascension"
17086
I really enjoyed it - an hour very well spent!
Some fantastic Lara backstory to fill in before the games including her parents, Lara as a child and even how the 'Tomb Raider' nickname came about. A right amount of action and humour, a couple of subtle in-jokes for the gamers and a surprisingly good Lara character. It only takes a few mins to accept her as the person and get drawn into it.
If you like the games, Lara and/or the films then go over to here (http://www.tombraiderascension.com/) and watch or download it.

It may be a fan film but the Hollywood habit to "leave it set up for a sequel" certainly rubbed off !
I felt like Lara was a lot more human in this - you saw a lot about how her father made her the person she turned out....right down to her nickname!
I felt it leaned a tad heavily on Hollywood stuff (the "absolutely" line from the original TR movie, the backflips from Fifth Element, etc), but even with that, and the very piss ending, it's the best fan film i've seen.

26-09-2008, 00:06
a few films I saw (not too long ago)
Hellboy 2 (hated the first one...so I cannot ask for any sympathy for having to sit through the even worse sequel) not sure if it's meant to be serious or funny...but it fails on both...and David Hyde Pierce should have been made to voice fishy (forgotten his name) at gun point (I know, I know the studios wanted a big name in the first one and didn't want the actual actors voice bla bla bla...though there is hardly any difference in their voice tone, there is a difference in performance...at least David could deliver a line...(even if it was in a shit film)
and bloody Selma feckin Blair, what a waste of good film that could have been used to watch paint dry.
which brings me to my next film...Selma Blair isn't all that bad when compared to Liv fuckingshitwoodenactressuglymunter Tyler, oh my god...how does she get work? and yes...the film is The Strangers, went to see it opening night, was hoping for a great horror/thriller...what a let down...don't you just hate it when a trailer shows you one of the best lines in the film (in this case the ONLY good line in the film, "Because you were home") and it's basically the ending of the film...
there was some great ideas in the film...but really how many times can you show a door with a loud knocking being heard and think it's scary?...once or twice maybe...but not as many times as they did it in this...
utter crap....rahhhhh
which brings me on to something good...something that redeems the person in question of his film making ability...(though he did marry that gapped toothed OAP who used to make good songs...:D
It's ROCKNROLLA, I was very skeptical about this as his last few films were utter shite, all I can say is, more of the Russian's would have been better...they were hilarious.
and the most recent was (FILM OF THE YEAR at least for me) Tropic Thunder (went to the preview showing last week, from start to finish a fucking brilliant comedy, with everyone on top notch form...and surprisingly the funniest person in the whole film (for me anyway) was Tom Cruise,
brilliant performance from him...maybe he isn't all that bad after all ;):)

Watched Control last night - loved it. Both the lead and Samantha Morton are so watchable and brilliant in it - I can't believe he had never acted before. My partners family comes from Macclesfield and spend a bit of time there so good to see some of it on the screen especially the hills - Tegg's Nose (if anyone has ever heard of that!)

My dad gets really annoyed if anyone gives the dog treats. My mum came in the lounge with a big bowl of Wotsits and the dog followed her and waited to sit right in front of my dad before he crunched on a Wotsit that my mum had obviously given him in the kitchen.
The combination of the dog eating, my mum's facial expression and my dad not noticing had me in stitches XD

Coens are great. Watch ''Fargo'' (thriller) with Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi (I love this guy) or ''Hudsucker Proxy'' (crazy comedy) with Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and great Paul Newman.

Mind fuck, loved it, so much i watched it twice
"Taken"
Liam Neeson is an ex-CIA agent pursuing the kidnappers of his daughter. What we get is a lean, taught, thriller, lacking much credibility and totally lacking in any subtlety but entertaining nonetheless.
Luc Besson was one of the writers and you can see one or two similarities with "Leon".

(CRAP that they didn't release that here in the UK, but then again you kinda get used to being shafted on anime releases here :rolleyes: )
I don't think the 2-disc does have subs - it was one of the first things I checked for after watching the single disc one I have and remember feeling disappointed so that's probably the case. Worth checking though, as ever.
I loved Paprika dressed as Monkey flying around on her cloud :D:p
From what i've heard the French edition has English subs on both the movie and the features, and there is also the option between just the 2-Disc edition or the special edition that comes with the storyboard book.

Nice linky ! I've just clicked through to Amazon.fr and it's about 40 euros - I probably can't justify that at the moment as that would buy me a lot of other things instead but it's a very nice set, even if the book is only in Japanese !
Well, i just ordered it, so i'll be able to tell you for definite soon if the English is included or not (and if that link is correct, the box looked different in the pic on Amazon.fr, that made me a bit cautious)
The book is kinda what i really want anyway, the Perfect Blue one had a few storyboarded deleted scenes at the back so it would be cool if there were some in this too.

Are you talking about PS I Love You or The Happening?
I'm wary of anything by M. Night Shyamalan.
I on the other hand love him. Except Lady in the Water, I have no problem with admitting that was god awful, but I love his stuff otherwise. And James Newton Howard has quickly become a favourite composer of mine.
He's taken the beauty, the humor, and the true horror out of horror.
There shouldn't have been humour in it in the first place, humour and horrors are a big "No No".
Besides I wouldn't exactly class his stuff as horror.......come to think of it I don't really know what I'd class it as.....Sci Fi? Anyway, I don't think it's horror.

The Happening

The idea itself (as with most Shamalamadingdong movies) is fantastic, the scenes of 'the happening' taking place are utterly compelling and in some cases genuinely shocking as you expect people to look after themselves. The ending was a bit cheap though ok.............
......but there is one bit let down for me - the acting ! Both of the two leads look like you're watching their costumed run through. Both are unbelievable, unengaging and poor to a comedic level for about 99% of the film. There is no chemistry on screen either so I just couldn't believe they'd care for each other and thus no urgency
Yep, a mixed bag as with his last few !

THANK YOU! I love the premise to it, that's what everyone gives out about it for " Ugh yeh Trees killing people", that's not it! It's a good take on a very real thing and I love the idea of how they do it and the scenes are incredible.
But yes I do hate the B-Movie acting in it ( which was apparantly intentional) and Wahlberg should NOT have been in the movie but the story and ideas were amazing. I'm unsure about the ending, I liked the Paris part, didn't like the in the house ending part.
Please, don't try to excuse him. That's so Rationalist, wouldn't you say?
It's not an excuse because it's not horror!

And the only reason for that, in any film, is the direction. This is probably one of the two main reasons his movies are second rate. His ideas are superb; the direction and actual writing are unpolished. If he hired an intelligent director and a polished co-writer, he'd put out some future classics for sure.
"Unbreakable" rocked most muchly so I'm even more nervous that he's talking about a second film set in that same universe........

It was meant to be a trilogy as far as I know but I really hope he leaves it as it was, it was sheer brilliance. The music was amazing in it too, it's great in all of them but especially in that.
Unbreakables a good example of his good use of strange acting. I think he tried that with The Happening and just got it wrong.

yeah from what I remember it was meant to be a trilogy, I'm glad he left it at that one film...as it was a good idea...just poorly done, and way way way to over stretched, one great scene of him actually using his "unbreakable" power, and then a twist that most people could see coming...but then Sixth Sense had that also, I am one of the people that could see the twist way before it was revealed...and no that is not a bragging point, it was the way the film was shot...(starts off with him being shot, then skips a few months or years, he seems to be perfectly fine, no mention of being shot...he can't open a door ;) and the main reason for most people guessing the ending was the Restaurant scene...I've had a look on some other forums discussing the film, and that seems to be the point of the film where people either see it or not. it was a decent film though...shame he couldn't have slightly changed a few scenes to mask the ending (mostly the restaurant scene)
anyway...I seem to have trailed off...:eek:

I like how obvious his stuff is, it makes you feel stupid for not seeing it the first time round, the restaurant seem imparticular was a dead giveaway but I didn't see that film for a couple of years after it came out so I had long known te ending before I saw it, which I'm sad about now coz it's one of my favourites, I thought "The Village" gave it away, I knew what was going on pretty early into that. I still loved it though and I love the style and mood in all his films, except of course Lady in the Water

Welcome to the wonderful world of video art, Horatio :p
Seriously, these films aren't supposed to be watched with the same state of mind as you'd watch a "normal" fiction film...
It's all about subtexts, amazing visuals, and really pushing the boundaries of the medium.
It could be that you just don't relate to this kind of things, which is to say for lots of people.
I'm sorry you didn't like it...please don't blame me :D

what part of LA you staying in? we stayed in the Crowne Plaza, shame it was in the Jewish part, as there were hardly any nearby shops...and we only had 3 days there ;)...plus after Vegas (which is an amazing place) it was kind of a let down...but going to Universal Studios made up for the part we were in, if you are going to Universal you must must must and that's must...go on the Simpsons ride which is brilliant, go as early as you can as que's are massive, and it's hot :D (which I didn't mind, but if you are going with anyone who does it will end up annoying you ;))
anyway, last film I saw was, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People...which wasn't very good at all...not even the mighty Pegg could save it, though a special mention must go out to two outstanding performances, and I'm not talking about Kirsten Dunst and Simon Pegg...I'm talking about Gillian Anderson's boobs :D wow...:D

yeah, LA you do need to plan where you are going, and when...plus we felt less safe in LA than we did in Las Vegas...maybe it's due to the sheer amount of people around (all the time) in Vegas, whereas in LA it's like a ghost town after about 8...at least it was in the part we were in...but as it was only a short time we were there it wasn't too bad.
anyway deer, have a lovely time, if you're going with Virgin Atlantic, they have a great personal digital TV, (depending on the aircraft, some of them are not digital and are on a loop system, still good but not as good as the digital one...as the tape quality is very poor...plus you can't watch what you want to watch when you want to watch it...plus the films haven't been cut, which is great)

If you'd want to make this a comedy do this: Every scene with Mary and the other girl, no matter which one is telling her shit going on story, imagine the one listening simply replying, "You are sooo fucked." This can be done throughout the film, right up to their final duet.
Although, it's all worth it to get to the very last image before the credits start rolling.

so in no way accurate or authentic...
2nd time trying to watch Talladega Nights...2nd time falling asleep through it...as it is completely unfunny...apart from the outtakes at the end which were pretty funny.
also Saw V (opening night last week) pretty decent follow on, much better than II and III, though Saw is still the best, and IV is the 2nd (or should that be II'nd ;)) in line with V being just behind IV...erm...ok I'm slightly lost...er...anyway SAW's in order of gory goodness SAW, SAW IV, SAW V, SAW...II and then III...though I'd have to watch them again and make sure it not III then II, but both have Shawnee Smith...so there both still watchable (if only for that reason :D)

the only thing that scared me about The Strangers was that it got made...oh and Liv Tyler's awful ...awful...AWFUL acting (as usual).
I did like the Three Strangers though...shame they were part of that film.
and on SAW, that's really why 2 and 3 aren't really that great...as they just seemed to be taking the idea of SAW and just making a plain gore fest without putting any depth into it...the gore was great...but it just needed more to back it up.
I like 4 and 5 due to the fact that they are in effect trying to tie the films together...and I think they pretty much succeeded.

Damn, that's a lot of porn.

No need for profanity, he has a name you know.
Burn After Reading, good movie, bit odd and contains the most unusually graphic axe scene but yes, good overall.

It's funny how one feels the need to watch a romantic comedy when ill. Anyhoo, it was ... like most other romantic comedies, hmm. Drew Barrymore was nice though.

well, every film has it's moments of humour. I'm not saying that there were not bits of black comedy in it, I just wouldn't list it as a comedy film

Hehehe, no matter how ill I am - I'll never watch a romantic comedy then, it only makes things worse :D
I went to watch Loft yesterday, a Belgian film.
It was alright, though I it didn't really live up to my expectations.

I could say so much that would get me into trouble, but I won't until I watch it again. Maybe I've matured. A little bit.

But I'm not such a fan of Belgian film trying to be blockbuster American, you know ?

I see and respect that ... But I guess that's a good thing, that the Belgian moviescene is finally going either alternative or classy American - this way we can finally step out of the shadow of Team Spirit, Hector, Koko Flanel, etc, that kind of gibberish. :p

Can't believe I missed Priceless. On future rental list now.
Ya know, I owned "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not", as well as Amelie(sp?), and neither is in my collection. If the bitch queer would have just asked, I most likely would have just given them to the bitch.
Totally just throws off your groove when you get into the mood to give it a repeat viewing.

a korean one this time - i'm a cyborg, but that's ok...difficult to describe though, weird but very lovely...like amelie in the looney bin, something like that...!!
:D
That's on my list! Can't wait to see it :)
You'll love it, J^3 !
I watched it last night, having spotted it on Film4, and thought it was excellent. You're spot on, roelle - my first thought was Amelie meets One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. It's really sweet, but in an odd way, with some beautiful set pieces and some technically strange quirks. It's also quite touching in some places, especially the latter third or so.
I want to watch it again, so that's a good sign......
The Fall.
Not a documentary about the venerable Manchester indie band but an amazing epic fantasy about a Hollywood stuntman who weaves an extended magic tale for a little girl who's in hospital at the same time. Fantastical at first, the tale gets progressively darker, reflecting his own despair. A little like a cross between The Wizard of Oz and Pan's Labyrinth (althought there are no strange creatures).
It's beguiling, engrossing and moving. Visually stunning, too.

gutted!
watched The Birds for the first time the other day
after years of pretentious artistic people telling me what a classic it was, i couldn't help but be really disappointed.
like the Matrix, I didn't watch that until a few years ago, and it still upsets me knowing that i won't get those precious hours (when i could have been doing something really beneficial and productive, such as refreshing the facebook home page) back.
watched Stardust today
Better than I expected. Reminded me of Princess Bride.

What a terrible movie, for so many reasons, namely John Cusack, the shit movie and the fact the have Samuel on the cover when he's in it for a total of about 5 minutes, one of which is in a small fridge

Of ALL the amazing songs in that films soundtrack and you point out Yellow Submarine. One of the best movie scores, "Truman Sleeps" is one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever
Ever? I mean, really, Shames!
In order of preference
1. Any Other Name/Brooks Was Here - Thomas Newman
2. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
3. Clair De Lune - Debussy
4. Those Who Fight ( Piano Version ) - Nobuo Ueamatsu

as beautiful as that Truman track you pointed out is, it wasn't the one. i found it, its not a Phillip Glass score. it was something called Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11: II. Romance-larghetto. one of three(?) pieces of music to appear with the rest of that score.
id add another track to that list of music:
Tarawa - James Newton Howard :)
Ahh James Newton Howard, definitely in my top 3 composers, one of the best being " The Hand of Fate" from Signs and the whole Unbreakable score is just amazing
