What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 27

*cowabunga14* · 05-26-2008, 01:55 PM

Yesterday, I watched the Roger Corman film The Wasp Woman, which was the movie featured in last week's episode of Cinema Insomnia with Mr. Lobo. I figured I'd try the show out and I liked it. The movie itself was alright, but Mr. Lobo's antics and humor made the movie worth watching.

After that, I watched The Fearless Vampire Killers, which was a fun spoof by Roman Polanski. The interactons between the characters Professor Abronsius and his assistant, Alfred, were great as well.

Later on, I watched Bicentennial Man with my dad, which we both enjoyed. The visuals were nice and I can't say I really had any problems with the movie.

A Bugs life was on today, so I watched that. The sound of Music was on after, I didn't watch that. Watched the last 10 mins of Whose Line instead.

Its been years since I watched A Bugs Life though, I actually laughed harder this time than I did watching it as a kid.

Can't wait till Wall-E comes out.

Was watching ET on nick today. Anyone else ever notice during the halloween scene when michael elliot and ET are walking down the street and see a kid dressed as Yoda, "Yoda's Theme" plays from star wars the empire strikes back. You only hear it for a few seconds but I thought that was pretty fun since john williams did both soundtracks

*cowabunga14* · 05-27-2008, 07:21 PM

Watched Citizen Kane last night, which was freakin' great. I'm glad I finally took the time to sit down and watch it because it was worth it. Just about everything kept my attention while viewing the movie.

*Revan* · 05-27-2008, 10:23 PM

^and really good makeup too

I just watched Moulin Rouge for the first time in a few years and was blown away once again. I absolutely love this movie, it's like watching a Disney animated movie or Looney Tunes in live action, except there's French whores everywhere. Baz Luhrmann must have been hit on the head as a child or something because this film is just delightfully mad. The "Like a Virgin" scene is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen on film. But I love everything about it. I could go on forever. Ewan MacGregor has an amazing voice! Etc!

^I love Ewan McGregor, and try to watch most of his movies. But i think i'll wait for Deception to come out on dvd.

Watched The Thing with Two Heads last night, which was a decent B flick. I don't think the movie would've worked if it had a serious tone.

A little later, I watched Curse of the Faceless Man, which was probably one of Edward L. Cahn's better works. I enjoyed as much as could because I kinda fell asleep during the movie, but I don't think I missed much.

*discordiatookie* · 05-31-2008, 02:06 PM

I watched Thirty days of Night on Sky Box Office last night. Did not disappoint at all. I loved it. Bloody gruesome top notch horror movie if ya ask me. Which was exactly what I was in the mood for. The vampires were awesome, and the main chick (Melissa George?) was hot. I liked!

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-31-2008, 02:16 PM

The Fugitive is on right now. I never get tired of seeing this movie. Haven't seen it in a couple years so I'm glad it's on.

*cowabunga14* · 06-01-2008, 04:24 PM

Watched Seven Samurai last night, which was a fine film by Akira Kurosawa and I didn't mind the fact that this movie was very long. I enjoyed it, but I think I liked Yojimbo just a tad bit more.

*ToTheNines* · 06-01-2008, 05:40 PM

Finally watched I Am Legend last night. I know alot of people here and critics hated it, but I really liked it. It wasn't as good as it box office performace indicated, but it wasn't boring at any point and the dog scene got me teared up.

The CGI did look like ****, but that was expected. I really don't see how having dudes in costumes would have made that aspect of it any worse.

I watched The New World with collin ferrel and christian bale. it's the story of the english settling jamestown (pocohontas). The movie moved very slow but several different camera angle changes quickly at the same time. It had an interesting feel. Frankly, it bored me and I would not recommend it. If anyone else has seen it I would be interested to read your thoughts on it.

It seemed to have a lot of frolicking through flowers to me.

*cowabunga14* · 06-02-2008, 07:24 PM

Not really a movie, but I watched the Cinema Insomnia version of the documentary In Search of Ancient Astronauts, which was mostly good because of the fact that Rod Serling narrated it. The documentary examined the theory that aliens have landed on Earth in ancient times and were responsible for many of mankind's oldest mysteries, but it woludn't matter to me if the theory was true or not.

After that, I watched something more engaging -- the film Raw Meat starring Donald Pleasence, which was pretty good. I felt the grittiness of the London undergound was represented in an unusual but good way.
