Perpetual Movie Thread/What was the last movie you watched?

The ending had me questioning some things, but I accepted most of it pretty well. The rules of the movie allow me to believe that the Source Code machine can create alternate universes. And even if not, his brain is stuck in an alternate timeline, where he'll be eternally happy. Not a bad way to go.

That's what I like about Duncan Jones after Source Code and Moon. He knows that just because it's Sci-Fi you don't have to randomly kill people off or have sad endings just to keep things fresh. The Kevin Spacey robot shows this.

Also, I saw Dylan Dog. I thought it would be a decent flick, but it was pretty disappointing. Just a lot of things that didn't work.

Except for a part where a zombie picks up a black guys arm and says "This smells like Old Spice.". Other than that it just tried and failed.

Are there no repertory theatres where you live? There are two in Stockholm and both of them are owned by Cinemateket, I've seen about ten movies at them such as Metropolis, Fanny And Alexander, The Deer Hunter, Wings Of Desire, Ben-Hur and more. I'm going to see Aliens at them the 15th May too, they're showing the first three movies in one day but I'll skip the first and the third.

I saw Highlander 2 this night and I have to say that I kind of..Uh, like it. I saw it a million times when I was in the sixth grade or so and by then I liked it more then the first one. It was some time ago I saw the first film, but the second one has something special that I like but I cannot describe it. I guess I'm completely insane... :daze:

I saw Dune on Dvd last night and my hopes for it were very high, which may sound stupid to some people. But I have to say that I was quite pleased with the film, it certainly was a bit boring at first but as soon as I got into the story it was pretty darn good.

^I agree. There are so many Dune haters out there because the book has cult status, but I like what David Lynch did with it. It's not a brilliant film by any means, but it's definitely underrated.

I haven't read the book, but I certainly will re-watch the movie sometime because I liked it alot. Not as much as this guy though.

...But still alot. ;)

I saw both Permanent Vacation and Taxi Driver today, both of them on Dvd. Permanent Vacation was a good debut by Jim Jarmusch, a director who puts his energy on the characters rather then the plot of his films. It was very low-budget (it looked like was shot on 16mm) but he really did his best to make the watcher feel like you actually were a part of the movie. Too bad that it was so short.

I've seen Taxi Driver before and it's an excellent film, but not as good as Casino which still stands out as the best movie by Martin Scorsese IMO. To me, it's even better than Raging Bull and Goodfellas. But if I would make a list of the best movies by Scorsese, Taxi Driver would have been #2 on it.

rituals finally released by code red

great one with five docters entering the woods for some outdoor fun but getting stalked by a lonie

Bought some Dvd's this week and watched them this weekend.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Darn good! Sure, the plot is ridicilous, but this is the kind of film you watch just for the sake of the music and characters. Can't stop singing the opening theme (Double feature picture show).
Psycho - Well, this film sure has aged and today it's nowhere near as creepy as it was when it was new. However, it's still interesting to see such a revolutionary film that set the standard for the horror-genre and it had some exciting scenes. The music still holds up quite well.
My neighbours the Yamadas - Just by looking at the cover, you know that this is a film that's completely diffrent from other films by studio Ghibli and therefore my hopes were quite low actually. But to tell you the truth, it was a quite entertaining and fun experience. It had a nice feeling throughout the entire film and an odd but memorable artwork. Just nothing like other Ghibli-films. Impressive that the Dvd had 89 chapters and the film is about one hour and 44 minutes long.

Thor... I liked it.

Priest... I want my money back (AND, boy would I have felt like a moron had I spent the extra bucks on the 3D gimmickry)

Priest was literally a train wreck! *rimshot*

Thor was pretty good. Had some badass moments and I liked the design of Asgard, especially the rainbow bridge.

I just saw Hall Pass last night, great Farley Bros. flick. Beware of the gratuitous penis (Extremely large and small) cameos and some young boobies. Projectile shitting as well, I give some thumbs up.

Saw Garden State, really enjoyed it too. Best thing I've seen recently is series one of The Walking Dead. Zombies rock, especially side to side when they walk, I think it's the decaying limbs or something.

I actually enjoyed this one. I don't understand the 4.2 rating on IMDB (I take ratings with a grain of salt, mind you). One really cool surprise was the Digital Underground scene. Kinda cool seeing a young 2Pac. LOL

Che Parts 1 & 2. Great movies, recommended for those who don't know the story of Ernesto "Che" Guevara beyond what they've seen on t-shirts and communist propaganda. I still think Benicio Del Toro should have got an Oscar for his acting in this movie. The fact that it was shot completely in spanish, using authentic cuban and bolivian actors, gives it an even higher degree of authenticity as a historical movie. Nothing worse than watching a movie where they have actors trying to speak a foreign language and failing miserably. (Scarface is an example of this).

Last movie I watched was

Saw X-Men: First Class. Really enjoyed it.
