What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Oh, to be sure. I'll be ok of they don't do a sequel, this one satisfied me enough. Like you said, it needs a continuing story. Of course there was plenty of source material from the series to pull from and now two new enemies to work with.

Cheers!

Surprisingly, I hear it hasn't done so well at the box office. I'm mystified by that... unless people believe the critics who (for whatever reasons of their own) chose to slate it.

Watched RED last night - that's a lot of fun. Currently, Cocktail is on HBO Asia. It's actually much better than I remembered..... or maybe the jetlag is still hitting hard?

Men in Black 3. Better than the second, not up to the first, but laugh out loud funny in places. Josh Brolin absolutely is the young Tommy Lee Jones.

An adorable little 53 minute 1942 film I'd never seen before called "Unforgotten Crime"- which is not as ominous as that sounds. I found in on YT here.

I had an Alan Ladd double feature last night: This Gun for Hire (1942) and Appointment with Danger (1951). Both were good, but The Blue Dahlia is still my favourite.

I liked This Gun for Hire, but have not seen Appointment with Danger. It is good to see you posting again C-dot. I hope all has been well with you.

Thanks Kirk, its good to be back!

If you liked This Gun for Hire you'll definitely like Appointment with Danger as well. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of hardboiled postal inspector Ladd with a nun.

Crocodile Dundee!

And most of The Dirty Dozen.

On tap for the weekend: my annual Memorial Day viewing of The Longest Day.

Shadow of a Doubt

 

[JAVIER]

Wyatt Earp's Revenge

Loved the line "the hat stays with me, SIR!"

 

[Edward]

The Roomate - a Single White Female derivative. Nothing new, but entertaining. Iron Man 2 again, currently Starsky and Hutch. Watching the latter two for the nth time, on HBO Asia in my hotel. Might stick a DVD on the laptop later.

Caddy Shack followed by Kansas City Confidential.

 

[Miss Golightly]

A Blueprint for Murder - nice little thriller with Joseph Cotten & Jean Peters.

The man who wasn't there with Billy Bob Thornton, nowhere near as good as O Brother where are't thou but great 'film noir' IMHO.

I loved that. Saw it in the cinema with my brother and a couple of other folks. Little brother still scowls and rolls his eyes when it gets mentioned. Of course, he liked the Star Wars prequels, and therefore has no valid opinion when it comes to cinema.



I kid, I kid.



Well, no. Not really.


HBO Asia again last night, a mixed bag as usual. Never Say Never Again - I'd forgotten how much fun that one was. Connery sending up Bond when Eon were still taking it sort of seriously. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - Costner's accent is still awful, and that Bryan Adams song excruciating, but it's very much Alan Rickman's film anyhow. Your Highness: Princess Bride with added knob gags, and just enough puerility to be fun without going ott. Dumb fun.

 

[Stearmen]

Topper with Cary Grant, Constance Bennett and Roland Young. Pretty funny for Grant's first foray into comedy!

 

[Bird Lives]

Last night..."Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio...Christopher Walken wears a great 2" brim Fedora....any ideas what it was?

 

[Miss Golightly]

A Bittersweet Life - Excellent South Korean action thriller....

 

[esteban68]

if you like 'Eastern' films and don't mind subtitles then this is a cracker, sad and very cruel in places but incredibly realistic...City of life and Death http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124052/
