What was the last movie you watched ....

I watched There will be blood last night. Whoa. What a performance by DD Lewis. Really good movie.

 

that is the one. hahaha i watched the R2 version expecting him to be called dirty balls and we were all laughing when he then just got called george

 

the brothers bloom is a good film which was the last good film i saw, was directed by the bloke who directed Brick, which as also a really good film

 

I just watched me 'The Dark Knight' on blu ray and it IS TREMENDOUS!!!

 

Watched The Shawshank Redemption the other night and I can't believe it that I never watched this movie before, excelent movie 10/10.

Training Day- 6/10

 

Dawn of the Dead. I liked espescially were

Spoiler

The guy on the opposite roof gets food off the dog and gets bitten. Then rights a message on a board. But its not a message its blood

 

'Leaving Las Vegas'

Knew nothing at all about the film before I saw it, so had no particular expectations.

Not a bad film, but no classic. A great performance from Nicholas Cage (remember when he still did good stuff?!) and in some ways also from Elizabeth Shue - although the old 'tart with a heart' cliche was as unconvincing as always.

 

Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee by Shane Meadows. Paddy Considine plays a roadie in a mock rockumentary , he is being followed by Shane Meadows and tells the story of him and his new rap act, an overweight but very eloquent Nottingham boy who gets to perform in front of 50000 people at an Arctic Monkeys (or Arctical Monkeys as Paddy calls him).

Excellent film as always by Meadows. I could never give him less than 8 out of 10

 

Awww man, you're talking 'Con Air' era right.

"Put the bunny back in the box..."

 

It always saddens me when someone as good as he was (e.g. in 'Birdie' and 'Raising Arizona') ends up in trash like 'World Trade Centre'. It's slightly reminiscent of Orson Welles in those sherry adverts - as a child I was surprised to learn that the fat prat off the advert was actually one of the greatest talents in cinema history.

In a perfect world, good actors like Nicholas Cage should keep making good films for the rest of their career, and planks of wood like Keanu Reeves should get the parts in shlock like 'Con Air', instead of ruining otherwise quite enjoyable films such as 'Speed'.

I recently got my son to watch 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' fo rthe first time. Not to frighten him, but so that we could share a good laugh at Keanu's attempt to play a Victorian English gentleman. He nearly wet himself.

 

The Boondock Saints- took me a while to get into it but an awesome movie overall.:woo:

 

Memoirs of a Geisha and House of Flying Daggers.

 

88 minutes, wasn't that bad actually although i figured out who done it quite early on, well had ma suspicions. still it not bad crime thriller to watch starring al pacino but not a film i'd watch over and over again!

 

Harry Brown-6/10

 

Last movie i watch is Planet 51 and Astro boy. Astro boy is kinda clique and Planet 51 is okay.

 

the last film i watched i think tried to hard it had a good theme for a plot and the cast wasnt too bad either i just felt the message isn't strong enough so it distorts the story and makes it hard to keep track on what its underlining theme is, i could go into critic mode ha but i dont want to bore you with my opinion so if you want to see a film about jui jitsu and honor and what i think is trying to be a love twist then check out redbelt

actually i forgot the last film i watched was "true romance" what a film i think that the music over the top gives it a mad perspective but great film glad i bought it now took ages getting around to watching it.

 

I watched Tigerland last night having never heard anything about it previously, and i really enjoyed it. The camera-work and direction are excellent, really putting you in the setting.

A vietnam film focusing on the recruit training camps in a similar light to Full Metal Jacket, i thought it compared very well to the aforementioned film (which is a big tick in my book). Colin Farrell is excellent (as usual), and i'd definitely recommend it.

 

The Shooter with Mark Whelburg, a excellent movie .

 

I've seen Shooter a few times (its on Sky Movies at least twice a week). Canny film.
