What was the last movie you saw?

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

Umberto D (1952), an Italian film about an old-age pensioner struggling to pay off his debts and look after his dog. I thought it was brilliant.

Asylum was a decent anthology horror from Amicus. There was no real standout episode but the acting was of a good standard and the overall package was pleasant and professionally executed.

 

[Rodders]

I bought the Avatar extended version last night, but the second disc didn't work. Bugger!!

 

[True Blue Mug]

Just saw a movie called Uncertainty, all style and no substance. So gimmicky...

 

[The Ace]

..and the worst film ever made.

Film4 have just shown, 'The Dark is Rising : The Seeker.'

Unfortunately, I read the book, unlike David L. Cunningham who directed this pile of sh*t and proved that Christopher Ecclestone was desperate for cash after, 'Dr Who,' and Ian McShane will bend over and drop his trousers for anyone who gives him money.

This is a travesty, substituting special effects and American accents for Susan Cooper's excellent work.

What really hurt was the daft, but loveable and artistic, Max being turned into a bully, but that was symptomatic of this director's treatment of the large (Will had eight siblings), chaotic, but loving and close-knit Buckinghamshire Stanton family.

Great movie, when I was a kid, I thought the story which had the wrapped body parts moving around was truely disturbing and freaky!

No oscar nominations here then

Heh. I'm sure if I had seen it as a kid I would have had the lights on at night for a month. I found a lesser effort like The House That Dripped Blood scary then.

Ok, the doctors really need to let me get back to work.... i'm sitting here watching Raw Deal.

 

[ravenus]

Police Academy Childhood fav still has its stupid fun moments.

 

[Perpetual Man]

After a lot of hints, Mrs Perp. managed to get me to watch The Deathly Hallows.

Have to say I rather enjoyed it, shame about it ending halfway through, and I wish I'd taken some tissue, for Mrs Perp, of course...

 

[AE35Unit]

A Clockwork Orange
I'm sure its a good film but i dont like it. Im not comfortable with gratuitous violence, just turns me off, especially rape. But theres parts of it that work (this is a Kubrick film after all) and one or two references to 2001! In a record store theres an LP of the soundtrack and much later he drinks drugged wine from the same crystal goblet as the end of 2001!
Yep I'm a geek

Those magnificent men in their flying machines as good as ever

Just caught bits of this on tv- I remember watching it as a kid,always near christmas. I forgot it was set in 1910, and so crass now!
It was always on with Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and i guess I confuse the two.

 

[sloweye]

I remember watching it with my grandad. It's one that doesnt get played very often now. Nice to see it getting air time.

 

[AE35Unit]

Inception
Boy did I have trouble staying awake thru this one! Dull and disappointing

 

[Foxbat]

The Third Man
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Wonderful stuff

 

[blacknorth]

Run for the Sun - crazy Nazi quisling Trevor Howard and his faithful mass-murdering side-kick Peter Van Eyck chase poor ole Richard Widmark all over the shop in a hilariously bad film that even I couldn't see through to the end. Yep.

They certainly don't. Odd Man Out was superb too.

 

[ktabic]

Last film I saw was Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. Made me cry with laughter.

Awesome film in it's cheapness. I especially like the fact they reuse the same footage about four times, within minutes of each other. Still much fun was had watching it (with friends and alcohol).

Watched 30 Days of Might: Dark Days this evening. Mostly good, I really should get a hold of the graphic novels sometime. Oh, and horrah for vampires that actually rip peoples throats out, instead of the glittery stalking emo virgins that seem to be the current crop of vampires.
