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

[Drixxel]

I watched The Da Vinci Code myself recently. An entertaining ride, but absolutely fucking absurd. The plotline is simply a mess, although the continuing discussion throughout the film of controversial religious theory is rather fascinating. It's an enjoyable film if you turn off the brain, but the movie falls to pieces if you make even the faintest effort to question it.

The last movie I watched was Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain, and it certainly lives up to its name as one of the strangest movies ever made.

Warriors of Heaven and Earth: I fell asleep 2/3 in. Edited very poorly especially the fights. I kinda just felt like I was watching standard B-movie fare.

Chinatown.

I can see why this is considered a classic, but I just didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Still well done though.

I've watched V For Vendetta and Mission: Impossible 3 over the past few days. V was one stellar show.. very entertaining, a visual feast, and even mentally stimulating, as one can draw many a political parallel to the current state of the U.S.A.. M:I3 was a good show.. predictable "twists" and fairly absurd overall, but a good show. Well done action and solid acting, although as a villain, zany Davian is such a completely overdone evil man archetype.

Spongebob movie- cuz its spongebob and sponge bob is really coolio.
and i dunno anymore movies i like.

Darth Maul's lightsaber abilities rocked hard... Yeah, I cast my vote for that one as the best duel ever. Even RotSith couldn't beat it.

First off I can't believe how many people in this movie that I recognized. Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, etc. This was a good movie and something George Lucas did pre-Star Wars. It's hard to believe that the same man that did the Star Wars movies did this great movie too. The movies are both good, but completely different. I reccomend this movie to anyone that likes watching movies.

Saw a LOT of movies over the past couple of days, so I'll keep it short:

Animation -

Walace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit - Absolutely LOVED it.
Chicken Little: Good. Not GREAT but good.
Corpse Bride: GREAT!!
Final Fantasy - Advent Children: Technically Superb, but otherwise mediocre...

Live Action -

Pink Panther - Okay. Not bad, but not good either.
Silent Hill - Good. I wasn't really horrified, but other than that, I liked it.
The Ring 2 - GREAT. Scary, twisted, and to some extent unpredictable.
Dhoom - Better than Doom.
X3 - Absolutely HATED what they did to Juggernaut. Aside from that it was OK.

Glengary Glen Ross- Want a LOT of talking? Here's your movie. Most of the movie takes place in one scene, which makes it feel sorta incomplete, but the idea works. I liked the dialouge, but it just kinda ended with out an ending, sorta.

Nacho Libre: I LOVE this movie! Jack Black is awesome, and for some parts I honestly forgot it was him playing the lead. Except for the singing in the lockeroom scene ,which seemed to just be thrown in to let Jack mess around a couple minutes. Better than Napolean Dynamite, who was made also by Jared Hess.

I just saw Memoirs of a Geisha last night. It's a pretty good movie. If you've read the book you're sure to understand more and know what's going on better, but that's with about every movie that's from a book. If you've read the book this'll be pretty enjoyable, but not as memorable. Even if you haven't read the book you'll probably enjoy this movie. This is one of those good, but in my opinion, not great movies.

I just saw Superman Returns today. It's a pretty good movie and it's supposed to be replacing the third movie. So if you watch the first two Superman movies and then you watch this one it comes off as a pretty well done sequel. All of the actors are good, but Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth can't ever make you forget the performances of Christopher Reeves and Margo Kidder. I reccomend this movie to anyone who is a fan of the Superman movies or just comic book movies in general.

Waiting: Funny movie that gets slow in some spots. It works better if you've actually worked in a restraunt. Also, thanks to this movie Beakmans world will never be the same.

Click: This is one of the best movie to come out this year. 2/3 is comedy, but then 1/3 of it starts to get all serious, but it still works. It doesn't get too overdramatic (maybe the hospital scene at the end was) but I actually started tearing up during one part. Probably the first time a movie has made me cry, and an Adam Sandler movie no less.

Amadeus. Bonafide classic that I've never seen until yesterday. Wow.

Vertical Limit(Superbit edition): I bought this because of the sheer awesomeness of the visuals and I got just that with this Superbit version. It's not a boring movie, nor a horribly acted one. It's ridiculous in that they carry nitroglycerin up a mountain, and get slammed around a helicopter without the stuff blowing up, but the movie is alot of fun. Maybe I have more fun with it because I enjoy it on a 51" HDTV...I mean, big tv's really do make movies better.
