What was the last movie you saw?

[Starbeast]

Gravity (2013)

Gripping, dramatic, spine-tingling and awesome!

They Came to Cordura (1959)

Excellent drama about soldiers crossing a desert in 1916 Mexico. Stars: Gary Cooper, Rita Hatworth and Dick York.

Against the Dark (2009)

A "vampire" virus spreads throughout the world, and teams of slayers scour the land of the infected. Good premise, bad execution. Stars: Steven Seagal

Even though I knew Seagal is in it, I gave it a chance.

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Monsters University. Nowhere near as good as Monsters Inc. I would say it was ok.

 

[Foxbat]

Boy Eats Girl

Okay-ish Irish zombie/comedy from 2005. I almost managed a couple of smiles at one point.

 

[Nick B]

The Strangers. Depressing to be honest.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Thor: The Dark Age (Or Phwoar according to Mrs Perp.)

Harmless fun, but not one to start thinking about too much...

 

[Foxbat]

Zero Dark Thirty Uncomfortable viewing of waterboarding at the beginning but, all in all, a compelling movie.

 

[JunkMonkey]

Supervixens (1975) large-breasted women and stupid men do sex and violence. A film held together with a plot that could be summed up in the single, very vague, sentence: 'some stuff happens to this guy'. Not the best of Russ Meyers films (that's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! or possibly Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) but the earliest one I've seen where he doesn't break the line of action - I'm such a twerp I notice continuity errors in sex scenes.

 

[Self]

Lone Surviver - a good depiction of an incident. Not in the same class as Black Hawk Down, but worth a watch

The Wolf of Wall Street - a long movie, an interesting tale, glad I saw it, probably don't need to see it again.

End of Watch - by far the best Police movie I have ever seen.

Terminator: Genesis

 

[monsterchic]

Pacific Rim. That CGI budget had to be massive, but I liked it overall Nice soundtrack, also.

Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon (2008)
Apparently, this Chinese movie is not historically accurate - but I don't know much about Chinese history so enjoyed it despite it straying from the historical path.

 

[Starbeast]

Rumble On The Docks (1956)

Intense involving drama. A corruption tale involving a street gang working for a racketeer.

Kid Dynamite (1943)

East Side Kids entry, which was a very good tale, and fun to watch.

The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961).

I hadn't seen this before but had read and heard a lot of positive stories about it. I really enjoyed it and think it's quite deserving of the praise. I especially enjoyed the fact that so much of the 'action' takes place inside the newspaper office, where we get to see the two main reporters slowly piece the puzzle together of why the country is suddenly experiencing bizarre weather phenomena after both the Americans and Russians launch simultaneous nuclear bomb tests.

I love the ending to this movie

 

[Overread]

Well two films as of late:

1) The Lego Movie - anyone who's played with lego will understand this film! Because that's really what it is, a generally good fun game of lego (with a much bigger budget and vast amount of lego blocks).
For younger audiences, but honestly entertaining enough for most.

2) Riddick - its a Riddick film start to finish with all you'd expect of him. I'm glad that it retains good ties to the previous film in the franchise (sometimes action orientated films are far too stand-alone). The focus has changed and this film feels very much like an interim between two major events. A key part of the characters history, if uneventful in the great scheme of things within the universe of the setting.

Kid Dynamite (1943)

East Side Kids entry, which was a very good tale, and fun to watch.

Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Muggs, Glimpy, Slip, Satch, East Side Kids, Bowery Boys. All a piece of the same cloth and loads of fun for a kid growing up in the '50s.

RIPD ... and I still don't know why.

A great movie. And it's Michael Caine's first film. According to his autobiography he claims that he 'completely screwed up' his part and was told by the director he would 'never work in this industry again'.

Did you see the slightly sweatier British cut or the less fleshy American version?

Fortunately he was given a featured role in his next film, three years later: Zulu. It was what some would call "a ripping yarn".

The Hunt For Gollum (2009)

Excellent independent flick. Reccomended for Middle Earth fans out there.

Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Muggs, Glimpy, Slip, Satch, East Side Kids, Bowery Boys. All a piece of the same cloth and loads of fun for a kid growing up in the '50s.

I really enjoy watching those old B&W flicks. Currently, I've been watching a lot of the original Little Rascals (Spanky, Stymie, Weezer, Porky, Alfalfa, Dorothy, Chubby, Buckwheat, Jackie, Mary etc etc.)
