Last Movie You Watched...

Saw a couple of goodies...

the creepy Darkness with Anna Panquin and

the nail-shredding thriller Breakdown with Kurt Russell.

Dream House - The less said the better. If you can avoid seeing a trailer before seeing the movie, do so. The trailer spoils some stuff. Flawed but watchable, IMO. I'd give it a 'wait til video.'

Bridesmaids - Had its moments, but I'm glad I waited til video.

Se7en - Holy friggin crap! For about the 8th time. Amazing flick, but it's best to watch it on an empty stomach.

This MTV movie called "Truth Down Below" or something like that. So odd and kinda tacky, and yet I couldn't force myself to change the channel.

Your Highness.

Wow. So far, the worst movie I've seen this year.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - The premise was more brilliant than the execution, but it had its moments. Plus Alan Tudyk was in it.

If anyone is planning a horror movie marathon for halloween this would be a PERFECT cheese course. Otherwise use your own judgement.

Not recent-recent, but these were the last movies I saw in the last couple of months, in descending order of recency.

Jane Eyre - the camerawork was glorious, and the decision to narrate the events in a non-linear way was inspired. The acting was excellent. The only problem I had was with the pacing - the story made sense, but the romance between the two characters developed too quickly to get a real sense of a relationship.

Horrible Bosses - eh. Not great. The pacing was horrid, the last half of the movie was shambles. One of the only movies I sat through where the moments just dragged on and on.

Bridesmaids - Wonderful. 'Nuff said. The whole cinema was laughing (some people were laughing to the point of crying) And also, there were puppies!

Who framed Roger Rabbit...I think in general since having a kid the movies I watch tends toward his age group more than mine.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Not bad considering I expected little more than another risible remake ala Tim Burtons's 2001 film.

Ditto on that one ^ I went to see it because of the actors in it, Tom Felton and James Franco(sp? I forget his last name), but it turned out I really enjoyed it.
I've never seen Tom play a nice character... ever. And now I'm afraid of apes, but overall it was a good movie.

CRUEL INTENTIONS. I <3 <3 <3 this movie.

I'll be the first to admit it. The Lion King. Yes I bought it on Blu-Ray. I rate it as one of the top three most influential movies of my childhood and if anything it only gets better with age. I still cry every damn time when Mufasa dies.

My last movie was Narnia: Prince Caspian. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. And Edward was pretty awesome in it so that was a plus for me.

Night Train. It was much better than I expected it to be.

Fast 5 - fine, for fun and fast-paced, mindless fun.

The Nibelungs

Just the first part of Lang's duology, nonetheless, it's far better than I expected: It's intense and dramatic yet doesn't lose the expect visual style and rythm so characteristic of this type of film. Can't wait for the weekend to see the second part.

Also, I think I have a crush on Brumhilde.

Had to watch The Princess Bride. Again.

Johnny English: Reborn - I love Rowan Atkinson as a comedy actor, and the two JE movies are both hilarious. It really is how the average man would find the spy business XD

Irreversible.

I very nearly shut it off after about fifteen minutes because the swirling, jerking, rotating camera craziness was literally making me sick to my stomach. I'm glad I stuck through it, because it turned into a fantastic, Memento-like film with strong performances. But holy hell, a little restraint on the camerawork would have been nice.

Dream House

- crap. boring, tedious, and a story that seems to offer twists yet provides no real interesting twist except the one you already see five hundred times in the trailer. the end was so randomly written together. 3/10

The Change-Up

- sort of on the fence about this one. Bateman and Reynolds were magic, with good chemistry, and they both delivered the best that their style of comedy has to offer. however, the writing was a bit forced. a lot of the moments were crude just to be crude, and weren't actually that funny. still, i found it relatively entertaining, and if you like Batman and Reynolds, you can probably find some joy out of it. 6/10

Bereavement - (Blu Ray) It was billed as 'the best indie horror of the year' and quite possibly that's true--I didn't watch the others, they might all have been worse--but I'm still in mourning (<--see what I did there?) for my $14.95. It was the worst sort of assembly line slaughter/schlock horror.

About the most that can be said for it is that the cover art was pretty good and it wasn't a remake of anything.

Dance of the Dead. Silly fun.

The Thing, the new one featuring more Norwegians than have ever appeared in a non-Norwegian movie before.

It was surprisingly pretty good! Nowhere near Carpenter's 80s classic, but faithful to the mythology, and it ties in quite nicely as a prequel. And the CGI take on the over-the-top visceral body horror that made the 80s movie so wonderful is quite well done.

Now I'm itching to play some Dead Space...

@Diana: yeah. Fast 5 is a lot of fun. Watching Van Diesel come up against Dwayne Johnson is a lot of fun.

Alright, I just finished Columbiana and Faster for the second time.
