What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 37

*Scandia* · 07-12-2008, 06:25 PM

Theatre- Wall-E

DVD- Little Miss Sunshine

*The Stryker* · 07-12-2008, 10:47 PM

Hellboy 2

I really really enjoyed this movie, better than the first in almost everyway.

*Scandia* · 07-13-2008, 06:00 AM

Last night I watched 300 on DVD.

I had to keep reminding myself that it was based on a Frank Miller graphic novel and thus in no way intended to be historically accurate.

I liked Gorgo. Other than that, the movie was way too violent for my tastes.

Superman Doomsday was on TV last night, and considering I don't much like Supes outside of Justice League it was a damn good movie. But I think it was edited for TV, so I'll have to get the DVD.

*cqb101* · 07-13-2008, 08:29 AM

Showed Cloverfield to my mom and my sister, who both loved it.

And this week would be a good time for you to pick it up...Best Buy has it on sale for $9.99.

Saw Hellboy 2 last night....good, solid film. Visual effects were superb and the fighting scenes were put together very well.

i saw care bears 2:the next generation at the family film festival at the theater i live by.

*Ninjinister* · 07-13-2008, 03:10 PM

Watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters! last night (on the Canadian channel, no less!). It had been a while since I'd seen it. I had completely forgotten Dr. Serizawa was still in the water when the Oxygen Destroyer went off.

I also watched part of Monster Zero following that, but I started drifting off to sleep, so I hauled myself to bed.

A few days ago, I tried to calculate how much it would cost to own every Godzilla movie on DVD, and found out that almost half of the movies have yet to be released to DVD. I'm very disappointed now >.<

Watched Freaked yesterday, which was a very funny movie. The make-up and visual effects were really good considering the movie's budget.

Later on, I watched a comedy from '87 called Real Men, which was OK. Jim Belushi and John Ritter made a nice kind of a team in the movie.

Too many cult films, I guess.

Saw on DVD last night Highlander: The Search For Vengeance. What a friggin' waste of time... Aside from being violent, gory and mildly pornographic, there was little else to hold a person's interest. I forced myself to watch the whole thing in one sitting so I'd never wonder if I missed the 'good' part, and rent that trash a second time. At the end, it had the weakest of morals. So, I guess it was only mostly without merit...

That's your style though, C14. Make no apologies!

*Scandia* · 07-13-2008, 07:20 PM

Currently watching "Final Fantasy- The Spirits Within". It's all style and no substance. The animation is FANTASTIC. The humans look like real people. But otherwise it is a very boring movie.

*Roseangelo* · 07-13-2008, 07:53 PM

I watched the first Hellboy movie last night. I'll probably get out to the second movie sometime during the next week.

*ToTheNines* · 07-13-2008, 08:04 PM

Started to watch In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Seige tale (my genius dad rented it) but we were done after 10 minutes.

Then we popped in Jacob's Ladder, wow. Watch it!

*Warhorse* · 07-13-2008, 08:30 PM

*gasps* You never saw Jacob's Ladder? That's a movie that will turn you sick.

Zog the Equalizer · 07-13-2008, 08:30 PM

Hellboy II and I really really enjoyed it

I'd see it sooner rather than later. It's definitely a movie made more fun with a large crowd that's really into it.

Ya, it's a classic. Love that movie.

*cowabunga14* · 07-14-2008, 01:11 PM

Watched Diary of the Dead yesterday, which I thought was decent for a modern Romero movie. The social commentary didn't seem to stick out to me as much as Dawn of the Dead, but I'm kinda glad I finally sat down and watched it.

Really? I thought the complete opposite. I thought it was so in your face and forced, that it really turned me off from the film. It wasn't nearly as subtle as his previous "Dead" efforts.

Just saw Son of Rambow, and I thought it was absolutely great. I think the last time I saw a film with this much charm and that made me feel this way was Little Miss Sunshine, two years ago.

I think so. I guess I expected there to be social commentary that would be of the same, I guess, degree as with Dawn, but it wasn't as much.

Of course it's going to be of a different degree than "Dawn", it's made 30 years later. Things are different now, the same commentary wouldn't makes sense now.
