The "Last Movie You Watched" thread
Fri Oct 05, 2007 12:29 am
Okay, so I've been thinking for some time if I should make this thread or not. So now that I made it I'm hoping to get some attention back from the movie guys like Jackal and others. This thread is to discus only movies that you have watched and not the ones that you plan to watch.. I don't want this thread to take the Movies thread route. If Jae or any other NLSC Team Member thinks this is just like the old movie thread feel free to lock it.
To kick it of then:
I finished watching the Bourne Trilogy this week.
I must say one of the best movies ever made are the Bourne's. Simply amazing, they always leave you on the edge of your seat. You can NOT plan out the ending or the things in between. Matt Damon does one hell of an acting job . He quickly became one of my favorite actors .

Take away the Entertainment section and bring it back to General Talk, which consists of entertainment anyway 
On topic, the last movie I watched was The Merchant of Venice.

Last movie I watched was Harsh Times starring Christian Bale. He plays a psycho role again. Him and his friend are kicking it, drinking, smoking, having their good time while looking for jobs. Christian Bale plays an ex-ranger looking for a job in law enforcement, namely the LAPD, so he can bring his Mexican girlfriend across the border and marry her. When the LAPD refuses his application, Bale's character starts down a psychotic path.
I enjoyed this film alot. It sort of reminded me of Training Day, only not as good. Worth a watch, imo.
Check out the trailer - http://imdb.com/title/tt0433387/trailer ... 29352-10-2

The book is better. The movie was good, though.
Last movie I saw was Pitch. It's a documentary by the Kenny vs. Spenny dudes about them trying to pitch a script. It was pretty good.

There is an echo hiding around here somewhere.
Let me clear things out, since their might be some untied ends with my first post.
I'd be happy if you guys would say some more about the movie then just say " Last movie I saw was.... It was terrible. Since I want to see a discussion out of this and not just pointing out what you saw.
Never checked out Harsh Times, but from your review it sounds like a worth watching movie. The trailer doesn't look bad at all, I might need to get this .

Watched The Kingdom starring Jamie Foxx.
It was a good action flick. The action sequences were well shot and I especially liked the start of the film where it has a kind of a video timeline of how Saudi Arabia came to become the nation it is today.
It was good because I came to appreciate the references the movie made to the culture that exists in the Middle East. If I had not learnt about how things work with some terrorist cells in my journalism class (how the kids grow up and are brought into their 'culture'), I wouldn't have understood what was happening in the movie (eg. Why kids were playing particular video games, etc.) That being said though, a lot mroe could have been included for us to have a real look into how the people are brought up over there.
Yes, it was touching. I thought it was an all right film - it could have been a bit more deep and meaningful in the end.

Sit, Action Flick+deep/meaningful dont go together. If an action flick becomes meaningful, it begins to turn into drama (see The Godfather, Gladiator). Two movies with lots of great action blood, but total action time over total time of the movie just doesnt equate to action flicks. Meaning takes time to develop, and action movies are just about blowing stuff up. Nothing against that, my favorite movies right now are the Die Hard Series and Hot Fuzz so...Yippee-kai-yay motherfucker

Yeh man. But there was still no kind of message portrayed in the film whatsoever except for 'pro-America.' Some might not see the pro-America in the film but i did.
Even the scene at the end, the last two lines of the film, I doubt many would understand the significance of it.
I understand what you mean and I was just thinking that there was not too much of a script to the film and I would have preferred the movie to be more of a drama seeing how serious of an issue (the subject of the movie) it is today. For the particular subject matter being displayed, I feel that I would have preffered drama over action. That's only my opinion though.

Room 1408
Samuel L. Jackson livin inside a fridge like whaaat.
The film started off really well but towards the end it just became boring.

Rented a few movies lately.
Lats one was Little Miss Sunshine, really cool actually, great soundtrack too.
Before that, Zodiac, which was great too, although it was kinda lacking the "Fincher touch" at times...

I just watched The Shining. I think I was more excited than scared (that's not to say it wasn't scary because it was scary as shit).
I hadn't taken the time to actually see Jack Nicholson act before so I pretty much had dismissed him as an arrogrant prick (from what I saw of him watching Laker games). I've got a whole new respect towards him now.

You should check out One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. He's pretty damn good in that movie, too.
Sun Oct 14, 2007 3:15 pm
I've actually seen that and now that you bring it up I do remember he was very good in it. More respect.

I just seen "Across the Universe" and it was a excellent movie. Of course i love british music, and the hole 60-70s era so it was really awesome for me personally. But the songs went almost perfect to the movie. Go see it.

The Departed? did you miss that? Batman (the original by tim Burton)? Nicholson is the perfect psycho, he has a little more issue playing anything else but he's excellent as the resident psycho in flicks
As for Across the Universe...if you even remotely like the beatles go see it, you will get chills up your spine. It is basically a movie that attests that music is the universal language and the Beatles covered the gammet (sp?) of human emotion in their work.

I caught a sneak preview of "88 minutes" over the weekend. It stars Al Pacino as Jack Gramm, a forensic psychiatrist who works for the FBI, and is also a professor at a university teaching students about forensic psychiatry. His testimony helped convict a man named John Forster, who is one day away from being executed and trying to dealy the execution. Things go awry the morning before the execution when Jack is told that one of his students was murdered the night before in the same manner that Forster killed his victims. Also, this killer is stalking Gramm mostly by cellphone and telling him that he has 88 minutes to live. "Tic Toc Toc", the killer sais. It gets even twistier when Jack's students start to look like suspects, and even Jack himself.
I enjoyed this movie, it was a good twister/thriller, but I wouldn't consider it classic. The only thing that I didn't like was the ending, which was ok, but could have been better, imo.
