What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 43

*cowabunga14* · 08-14-2008, 01:24 PM

Watched The Hideous Sun Demon yesterday, which was a nice and campy B movie from the '50s. The title character could've had more screen time, though.

Watched the Cinema Insomnia version of Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet and the movie itself was alright. In a way, it would've been cool to see how the MST3K guys would riff the movie.

And later, I watched From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter, which I thought was better than the second movie, but that's not saying much. I liked how it kinda went back to the first movie, though, even if it had more of a western feel to it.

I saw "Tropic Thunder" opening day. Haven;t laughed that much in a movie since "Reno 911: Miami"

*cqb101* · 08-15-2008, 02:34 PM

Pineapple Express.

Second time. Just as funny.

Am in the middle of the uncut version of "American Gangster". I'm finding it confusing and full of topless women. It would probably help if I could watch it for more than 30 minutes at a go. (sigh) But Denzel is awesome as usual, and Russell is good too. Just realized Russell's boss is the horny military dude from "Memoirs of a Geisha".

the women are naked so they can't steal any of the drugs. whenever i watch a movie and am thinking "wtf is going on?" i just look up the plot summary on wikipedia and it usually tells me what went over my head while watching.

They mentioned that in the movie, though I'm wondering why they're allowed to wear underwear in that case.

Nah, I'm having trouble keeping up on the plot. Like why was Russell Crowe's character & his partner ostracized from their fellow cops for turning in the money? There was something else too but I can't remember what it was right now. I'll check out wikipedia and try watching it for longer periods of time. ^_^ Thanks!

They didn't like him turning in that money because then it sets a really high standard for everyone else that they just don't wanna keep up with. If it was anyone else, they would have kept the money for themselves.

*Spitfire* · 08-15-2008, 06:25 PM

Also their all crooked and a cop like might turn them in. It makes them uncomfortable for a guy like that to be on the force I think is what one of them says.

Is that movie good? Friend of mine went to see it and she said there was some sort of fight in the theaters because of something to do with the movie. Maybe I'll go check it out.

3 people have posted in this thread raving about it, and it has an 84% on rotten tomatoes...so ya, I'd say go see it.

*cowabunga14* · 08-16-2008, 06:34 PM

Watched the '89 horror/sci-fi movie Leviathan yesterday, which wasn't that bad of a movie. I liked seeing Peter Weller in basically what was the lead male role and the creature effects would have to be some of the lesser-known but awesome stuff by Stan Winston Studios.

And after that, I watched They Came from Beyond Space, which wasn't particularly exciting. In a way, I think it tried too hard to be a so-bad-it's-good kinda movie.

*ToTheNines* · 08-16-2008, 09:25 PM

TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. Got bored and popped it in, I guess I was in a mood for critisizing because I hardly enjoyed it this time. My main problem was that while the turtles did have their archetypes that seperated them, at their core they were hyper-active jack asses that loved to high-five.

*triplexxx* · 08-17-2008, 03:11 PM

Another old and new one first time seen all way through this year: Running Scared (1986) and Blades of Glory

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 08-17-2008, 03:25 PM

I saw Tropic Thunder on Friday. I don't think I have laughed that movie during a movie in a while, or had to stop and say...omg did they just do that?

*cqb101* · 08-17-2008, 05:51 PM

Step Brothers

My second time seeing it, and I actually enjoyed it this time. Very much so actually. Probably because I was blazed, though.

The Dark Knight

My 5th time seeing it. Still enjoyed it immensely, but it's definitely starting to get boring during parts. I'll see it once more in IMAX and then be done until the DVD comes out.

Evenstar227 · 08-18-2008, 11:03 AM

Thanks, Cure & Spitfire. It makes sense after having seen the end of the movie (which was the best part).

Saw the new Mummy movie on Saturday. I liked the spin of having an army of terra cotta warriors, and seeing them fight the army of mummies, but overall the movie falls short of what it could be. Maria Bello does an admirable job of capturing the essence of Evy a la Rachel Weisz, but it's just not the same without Rachel! Jet Li, while scrumptious, didn't really need to be in this movie, as it didn't do him justice. Michelle Yeoh is awesome as usual. I think the funniest parts were seeing Brendan Fraser as Rick being a dad during the chase scenes or battles. "Alexander Rupert O'Connell, you get on this horse this instant!"

Latest movie I have seen, hmm.... it's been about a month. I guess it was The Dark Knight.

*cowabunga14* · 08-18-2008, 01:05 PM

Watched Clerks yesterday and it was a very entertaining movie. I'm glad, after all these years, I actually sat down and was able to watch the whole thing.
