What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Molecules · 10-06-2009, 04:48 AM

if you want something Blair Witch-esque this is something, nothing earth-shaking but alot of people seem to rate it. Worth watching for a few frames in the latter half of the movie, you'll see what i mean
YouTube - Noroi - The Curse (1/11)

Noroi (2005)

Thanks, Molecules. I'm going to watch the whole thing tonight.

If I had seen this when it originally came out then I would have had more of a soft spot for it. Brandon Lee is completely wasted in his role and I spotted some obvious stunt doubles in the movie but it was diverting enough and Dolph Lundgren is buff!

Dolph is a Nordic God, but I still wouldn't subject myself to one of his films...

Anyhoo, I saw First squad, the latest from the most cutting edge Japanese animation studio 4C. Major disappointment. Completely lacking in invention which is what made me fall in love with them in the first place.

Adidasss you are such a film snob

Last film I watched was Lars and the Real Girl.

About a guy (Ryan Gosling) who falls in love with a doll (A piece of plasic.)

It's a drama comedy, it was okay.

1 really funny moment in it, I couldn't help but laugh. But I like uncomfortable situations, they amuse me.

I loved Lars and the real girl, I think it's full of unintentionally funny moments that I laughed at. I'm not sure others would find it as funny though

Dark City was so much more interesting when I watch it now that I'm older.
I feel like parts of this movie inspired The Matrix.
The only difference is that they manually go around replacing everyone's memories instead of having a program alter their reality.

Seen it! It didn't scare me, but it was a good movie I thought. I probably won't watch it again. Someone else here mentioned [REC] as well which is similar in that it's supposed to look like it's documenting real life happenings. For some reason, I just don't find these movies spooky (same goes for Blair Witch), but my GF absolutely hates them. [REC] did very little for me, but she was so creeped out she had to watch something a little nicer before she went to bed.

It's not because I'm so resistant to scares - other movies may creep me out but these do very little for me.

rented a few movies

Excellent. I was thoroughly entertained during the whole movie. All of the actors were perfect. Dwight Yoakam threw a superb fit and he really made you hate his guts. And Thornton's character, Karl, had all the characteristics and charisma that a good main character needed. And that voice was classic.

spoiler alert!
I also really enjoyed this movie too, though my only complaint is that I think they drug out the ending a little too long. Robert De Niro made such a great baddy in this movie. I almost rooted for him just because I thought the dad was a big wuss. Juliette Lewis was brilliant also. She played the part of the ditzy 15 year old perfectly. I had to feel for her a little, because I also kinda had a crush on De Niro too

Up until the end that is, when his face was all burned off. This movie also made me jump a few times, which I dig. When De Niro had killed the maid and was disguised as her when he killed the Private Investigator, I did not see that one coming.

Looks fabulous doesn't it? Well it is, sorta. The musical numbers are really great but the story inexplicably falls apart in the last 3rd part when it starts to cross over into pure fantasy and comes off looking exactly like a high school play (with bad acting and bad writing). Shame, loads of potential was wasted. And despite what theadvocate says, Hedwig has nothing to worry about...:\

I wonder if Glee does it better? Hmm...
