What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Mike1939]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

 

[carebear]

"Frost/Nixon"

A cornucopia of excellent character actors.

 

[WinoJunko]

Iron Man

I swear, I love that movie!

 

[Feraud]

Choke.

 

[Lefty]

Choke.

How was it? I've got that one on the way.

 

[Feraud]

Better than most of the garbage coming out these days. I did not read the book but could tell there were plot elements that were missing or revised from the novel. The ending felt a bit rushed. Definitely worth a watch.

I know I'm rather new here, but my wife and I liked Australia. Bought our own copy, actually...

Last movie watched was Curious Case of Benjamin Button when we bought the BluRay. Really love that movie.

What did everyone think of Doubt?.....

 

[WH1]

State of the Union
Directed by Capra
Stars Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Angela Lansbury, Adolph Menjou, Van Johnson (great one-liners) and Margaret Hamilton. Good movie, apparently there was quite a bit of tension on the set among the leads particularly Hepburn, Lansbury and Hepburn, Menjou. Apparently it translates into the movie.

The Thin Man Goes Home, very enjoyable. I am always amazed at the ease with which Myrna Loy and William Powell work together. I don't know if there is another couple in movies that look so perfect together.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I love the look and feel of the movie, especially the Dirigible scenes, but really didn't like Jude Law and definitley thought Gwyneth Paltrow was a weak lead in this movie.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Last year's The Incredible Hulk, which was a real disappointment. I liked Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk much more.

This one had an outright awful, dumb script; flat, one-dimensional performances (even from usually dependable actors); and I don't think that the new CGI Hulk came off as any more believable than the first version. It did hew closer to the old TV series approach than the Lee film - but aside from the nostalgia value, it didn't serve the story/characters as well as Lee's more psychological take. Sure, it had loads of action - but so what? I just couldn't take it seriously.

Considering how much "better" this one was supposed to be, I was vastly underwhelmed. And really glad that I chose not to see it theatrically last year...

 

[Ethan Bentley]

The Gingerdead Man; a culinary comedy horror.

 

[Brian Sheridan]

"Black Belt" from Japan. A must see for all martial artists. It is about the true mean of the arts.

 

[AmateisGal]

Mrs. Miniver. Why I waited so long to watch it, I don't know. Excellent film.

 

[JennyLou]

Just finished Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. It's cute.

I also watched Frost Nixon which I thought I would hate bt I actually liked it. I was surprised that I enjoyed it.

Me too.

I just finished watching Michael Moore's "Sicko".

 

[Shangas]

"Ray", starring Jamie Foxx.

 

[KY Gentleman]

"Benjamin Button". This movie was too long but still very good. Many similarities to "Forrest Gump" I thought.

I watched The Shawshank Redemption (for about the umpteenth time) early this morning. I found this interesting bit a trivia that made me chuckle:

The American Humane Association monitored the filming of scenes involving Brooks' crow. During the scene where he fed it a maggot, the AHA objected on the grounds that it was cruel to the maggot, and required that they use a maggot that had died from natural causes. One was found, and the scene was filmed.

Wow, that's an interesting fact.

 

[AmateisGal]

Wanted with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy.

It was...interesting.

 

[KY Gentleman]

"Taken". I watched it yesterday and will be watching it again soon. It was a very good action-revenge film.
