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

[Waterfaller]

For me, a good foreign film was definitely Dog Soldiers
I need to find my copy of Brotherhood of the Wolf too... such an awesome flick.

I think I'll watch my collection of the "Ringu" movies today.

I just watched Machete. It had some moments, but ultimately wasn't as good as Planet Terror.

[Metal_Sonic]

Arn: The Knight Templar

Go watch it.

[Nobi]

Watched the lottery ticket the other night. The first hour of the film is surprisingly funny, the Mike Epps church scene was the funniest shit Ive seen in a movie in recent years.

After that though it goes down hill pretty fast, ultimately lost interest and got on the internet instead(usually what happens when I try to watch a newer release movie)

[Waterfaller]

Watched The Grudge 2 tonight. I would have enjoyed it more if the idjit I was watching it with would just shut the hell up and stop fidgeting.

I hate it when I'm watching a movie and someone provides their own "commentary". This usually happens with Horror movies.

Memorable quotes I've heard(in Theaters):
"Girl, don't go in there!"
"Awww damn! I knew it!"
"I bet this mother fucker's gonna die first!"
"If I was them I would of just ran!!!"
"Ohhhh! OOHHHH!!!!"
Then you have the one or two girls who think it's cute/funny to scream at every semi-scary part of the movie. Sometimes they rival Roller Coaster Screams


Annoys the hell outta me.

What movie is this from:



And this:

No clue on that first one, but I know the second one is Little Miss Sunshine.

[AngelaBelmont]

Rocky IV. It was a little cheesy at the start, but good. I need to see the other three movies.

[nissling]

Watched Where the buffalo roam yesterday, a bit cheesy but interesting movie-adaption about Hunter S. Thompson. It wasn't as recognized as Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, it's a diffrent movie but based on the same persons.

I'd give it two and a half out of four.

The Butterfly Effect: Directors Cut

What a horrible yet thought-provoking movie.

[VinnyT]

I laughed when the fat kid stabbed the bully in the back with the piece of metal.

Apparently I was supposed to take the scene seriously.

[Gogogadget]

Alot of the movie is standard hollywood cheese it seems, then towards the end it starts to get really interesting.

[M4R14NO94]

Recently watched on TV the awesomeness that is Sylvester Stallone's Cobra. I also watched some of Rollerball (the 2002 remake) and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[VinnyT]

Just like last year, this is every film I saw in theaters in the 2010, in sequential order. It's mid-January now so this doesn't mean much, but....I'm doing it anyway!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: Seen for two reasons: New Terry Gilliam film, and it's also the film Heath Ledger was shooting when he died. And it's going to be the only film with a trailer that says "Acadamy Award Winner Heath Ledger" which only makes things more tragic. Overall, the film itself is pretty solid, but pretty flawed. The cinematography makes for some pretty shots, but that doesn't help the somewhat...boring(?) story. I don't really want to use that word, since it really SHOULDN'T be called that, but it's just not that memorable. I know things were jumbled after Ledgers death, so its forgiven, but it's unfortunate. Still worth checking out for free if you can find it.

A Single Man: Colin Firth plays a man who lost recently lost his partner and spends his time talking to every homosexual person he can find in California. Firth was great, and his upcoming Oscar win for The Kings Speech is almost a apology for this (Not that he doesn't deserve it this year as well) It's a little slow, but for the sake a great character study (Except for a couple minor characters) and again just the great look some the scenes have this is really worth seeing.

Crazy Heart: Jeff Bridges is awesome. He plays Bad Blake awesome. He can actually sing. He turns a tragic set of events around into writing the song of his career, and it's awesome. The film itself? Pretty good....but it's all about Bridges.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orelans: This is a dark comedy that gives no clue to that until a good while in, then you watch it again and realize it. Nicolas Cage is perfect, and makes this a multiple-watch time movie. And iguana's are his guardian angels. And Val Kilmer plays a rookie-cop type role when he's obviously in his 40's and turning into a pumpkin. It's great.

Shutter Island: If it wasn't for a segment near the end where EVERYTHING is explained, this would have been a fucking masterpiece! I wanted to love it so much, but after near everything was neatly tied up in a bow, I left the theater disappointed. Still a fun movie.

Cop Out: I walked out of this. Don't know how Bruce Willis gets a baseball card back and I don't care.

Chloe: SCHLOW was funny for all the wrong reasons. Get's kinda graphic, but almost in a sense of "I want to make a movie where Amanda Seyfried gets naked a lot, and I don't care what it's about!" Then Liam Neeson.

How to Train Your Dragon: I'm still surprised by how much I actually liked this! What the trailers make look like any other kids CGI movie is really advertising a great movie on its own right, and has a surprising ending that makes it worth seeing again (Not like some major surprise "HE WAS DEAD ALL ALONG LOL" twist)

The Book of Eli: Denzel Washington goes around the post apocalyptic United States trying to deliver a bible to Malcolm McDowell. Meanwhile, he meets Gary Oldman, then Mila Kunis who tell him he REALLY needs to relax. Even with the awesome silhouette fight scene, this got pretty underwhelming. Also, the ending was entirely wrong and unneeded. If it wasn't for those last few minutes this would have been pretty good.

Alice in Wonderland: I didn't see this in 3D, which MAY have deterred me from liking this, but I doubt it. While things looked pretty, and it's proof that Crispin Glover is still getting work, overall I was bored and disappointed. Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be a plotless story about exploring and curiosity, not a "REBELLION/ANARKY YEAH LOL" story about fighting queens. I know Tim Burton was trying something new, but here it just doesn't work. Also, a waste of Christopher Lee. I mean, ONE SENTENCE THEN BAM! NO TONGUE! WTF?!

Mother: I'm glad I got to see Mother. A Korean Hitchcock-type about a mother whose trying to find proof of his sons innocence in a murder. She shows through out the film that she's smarter than she seems, and once she learns the truth, there's not much she can do. It may not be for everyone, but it just had this atmosphere that kept me in till the end.

Iron Man 2: Iron Man 2 is a fun summer action movie, just like its supposed to be. It wasn't perfect, though. Some parts were simply not needed, and Cheadle is solid, but not the first choice for War Machine. Overall, not as good as the first Iron Man, but still pretty watchable.

The Secret of Kells: When you feel like you fell asleep at a movie, its bad. It means the film was boring and a waste of your money. But in the case of Kells, instead you get a dream-like experience that makes you feel like you've been asleep but you really weren't. You've really hung on to everything, but it takes you on another plane. I don't think I'll have an experience like it for a long time. I didn't even mind that it was actually a overtly religious film either.

Saint John of Las Vegas: A modern retelling of Dante's Inferno told with Steve Buscemi in the lead role as an insurance investigator with a gambling addiction. It wasn't bad, but I think my life would have been exactly the same without seeing it.

Robin Hood: The first real "epic" film of the year, and a pretty solid one at that. People complained on little things, but I knew the point of this wasn't complete historical accuracy, but it was still a fun summer movie, which I think is all it really wanted.

Marmaduke: He's SUCH a big dog.

Harry Brown: Michael Caine drives wiggers out of his neighborhood by shooting them all in the face. I'm sold.

Toy Story 3: People cried, I didn't. Did I still enjoy it immensely? Yes! You've seen it already most likely so I don't have much new to say.

The A-Team: Ever get so mad in a theater that you punched the seat in front of you out of anger? I HAVE! AND IT'S A-TEAM'S FAULT!

Inception: Nothing else needs to be said. If you haven't seen it yet just fucking watch it already!

The Expendables: Funny action cliche's with a solid story and near every action star ever. Only issue I had was some of the fight scenes being shot in "Quick, zoom in on the shoulder!" vision but still fun. The sequels should bring more of the same.

The Town: Ben Affleck shows again that he really is a film maker and not a hack. I liked this better than Gone Baby Gone, and I just loved how it was one of the best gangster picture in a long time (even more than American Gangster, which I was sure was going to keep that title for awhile) A great movie.

The Fighter: I haven't yelled at the screen in excitement since...ever maybe. It's called "The Fighter" and not "The Boxer" for a reason, and you can't help but get caught up in the excitement by the end. Christian Bale is winning an Oscar in a month or so, and deserves it. Also, a Ford Tempo makes a guest appearance. They must have overhauled it because it actually sounded like a car and not a metal cage of death on wheels.

True Grit: Put simply, True Grit is fucking great! No slow moments to distract you, not bad acting, and the usual Coen Bros. humor to keep you watching. There's a scene near the end that takes place under the stars that needs to be framed and put in museums. I'm serious! OCCUPIED!

The Kings Speech: The Kings Speech is Colin Firths road to the Oscar, and it's very well deserved. While Geoffrey Rush is great as well, and the film overall is pretty good, it's another one of those films I probably could have gone through life without seeing and been just as good for it. And that camera which at times was in some odd position just to say "Look, I'm different! Look where the camera is now!" Meanwhile i'm in my seat going "Move....it....over" *Imagine my hands raised and movie slightly to the left*

Black Swan: Black Swan is ALMOST my favorite of the year (My favorite was The Social Network, but I saw that in January, so it missed the cutoff for this) The story of ballerina's and its mental impact on Nina, played by Natalie Portman who should be walking out with her Oscar in a month or so as well. What starts out as simple, becomes slightly dark, then WHAT THE HELL! Then oh, okay then...WHAT! Then....what just happened? But not in bad way. Black Swan is really a work of art, and my second favorite of the year.
