What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 29

*cowabunga14* · 06-09-2008, 10:46 PM

Watched They Made Me a Criminal last night, which was the movie featured on Cinema Insomnia about a week ago. Anyways, I thought the movie was a pretty good crime drama from the '30s.

After that, I watched UHF and it was a pretty funny movie. I think the fact that I (already) like Weird Al's music helped appreciate the film so much more.

And today in my art class, we finished up Edward Scissorhands, which is always a wonderful film. I don't think I've seen the whole movie before, so I'm glad I was able to.

F4-Rise of the Silver Surfer, dumb but I was still entertained. You have to shrug off alot of stuff.

But son. of. a. bitch. I really can't get over how they ruined DOOM, in these flicks. I mean it's not even close to a decent portrayl... someone involved with the movies had to have read/created the comics or watched the cartoons for god's sakes, who in their right mind would approve that? Not only was it not an accurate Doom, he had totally corny lines ("let's all go for a spin") and was just a loser badguy all around.

Finished up Mississippi Burning in my History class the other day, which was engaging as well as depressing. I also thought Gene Hackman's and Willem Dafoe's performances were great.

The Incredible Hulk

Go see it. Better than Iron Man.

*cowabunga14* · 06-13-2008, 01:08 PM

Watched Doctor Detroit last night with my dad and the movie was very hilarious. It's a pity it didn't do so well in the box office, though.

*Brodie* · 06-13-2008, 04:39 PM

The Happening. Lame, I would have preferred the Hulk.

*ToTheNines* · 06-13-2008, 07:45 PM

Kiss The Girls (1997). Morgan Freeman was in it, so of course it was good. Seriously though, a well done thriller, pretty creepy and not extremely predictable.

*cowabunga14* · 06-14-2008, 02:20 PM

Watched The Neanderthal Man yesterday, which was OK in some parts, boring in others. It would've better, I think, if there was faster pacing.

After that, I watched The Mask of Fu Manchu and it had a nice campy feel to it. Even though I haven't seen a Fu Manchu movie before, I was still able to enjoy it.

And in the theater, I saw The Incredible Hulk, which I liked. I wasn't expecting much from it, so I guess that was a good thing.

I've seen this one before, I remember it being a good one.

I recently saw the new Indiana Jones. I heard a lot of people saying it wasn't great or that it didn't live up to the previous ones, but I thought it was good and fit very well in the series. It had everything an Indiana Jones movie needs.

*Scandia* · 06-14-2008, 05:28 PM

As of today, I have watched "The Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian" FIVE times at the movie theatres.

Last night I watched "Return to Oz" at home. Awesome movie- yet very underrated.

*Cure* · 06-14-2008, 08:25 PM

I saw Hulk, Happening, and Zohan.

Hulk was cool, Happening was awful, and Zohan was funny in such a stupid way.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 06-14-2008, 09:02 PM

The Incredible Hulk

F*ck yea!

*cqb101* · 06-14-2008, 10:41 PM

The Happening

One of the worst movies I've seen in my entire life, and probably the worst movie I've ever seen in theaters.

I watched I Am Legend tonight. Not gonna lie, cried really hard for Sam. Also, I am eternally pissed about the ending.

*gobo* · 06-14-2008, 11:14 PM

Shyamalan's The Happening, starring Marky Mark Wahlberg... Definitely my least favorite Shyamalan movie (though I missed The Village and Lady In The Water), but not terrible. It was just cheesy as hell. I always expect less from R-rated movies than PG-13, so it's tolerable if you lower your expectations. But, if you want to say it was lame, I'd go with that. There are just plenty other movies, even those that are considered popular, that I'd happily choose this over.

*cowabunga14* · 06-15-2008, 04:09 PM

Watched From Dusk Till Dawn yesterday and I thought it was awesome. Plus, the make-up and special effects were some of the best I've seen in a while.

Later on, I watched Pumpkinhead, which was pretty good. I can't say I really had any problems with it.

*ToTheNines* · 06-15-2008, 04:17 PM

Speaking of The Happening, did any one else see the TV spot where they advertised it as "Shyamalan's first R-rated flim"?

I remember the first time I saw from Dusk Til Dawn. I had taped it off the telly one night, and when I got round to watching it, I loved it. Awesome road trip movie. Then all of a sudden - BAM! Vampires! Wow! Totally unexpected. Loved it!

My sister's best friend Amy starred in Pumpkinhead 4 - Blood Feud. Never seen it though. She's also been in another movie called Blood Monkey, which I caught the end of when it was on telly a while back.. She was in the last two episodes of Torchwood, and has done other tv work. Its weird seeing her on telly...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (for the 4th time)

I really don;t understand the complaints people have about this movie.
