What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Miracles on St. Anna

-dont agree with those who say the acting was terrible, it was certainly passable. My main gripe with it is that spike lee tries to do everything, and ends up with 3 different stories going on at the same time, which would be cool if they all came togethor at the end like crash or 21 grams, but it doesn't. It's clear that Lee didn't get the funding for this film that he needed. It would have been better off as a HBO mini-series like band of brothers, but as a nearly 3-hour film its a bore.

Terrible movie. I'd rather watch Death Race or even Transporter 2 again. The chick who played Valentina couldn't act at all. The only good thing about it was my baby daddy Jason Statham getting half naked during a couple of the fight scenes.

5/10

I really liked the first two thirds of this movie. I thought it was hilarious, but to be honest my standards for comedy movies are incredibly low since I just love to laugh and will laugh at pretty much anything. Except those stupid parody movies..ugh. Anway, the last bit was less funny and a little boring. It's the part of the movie where they try to get serious and show how the main characters crazy antics have gotten him in trouble and now he's got to fix it. Snooze. 6.5/10

8/10
I can't believe I passed this movie up thinking it was a Dexter knockoff. My roommate recommended that I watch it and since then I have watched it three times. I love psychological thrillers with twists in it. A few of the twists were predictable but it was still great to see them unfold/unravel.

LOVED IT, and one of the best twist endings Ive ever seen, as disturbing as it was.

I think the third in the 'Revenge' trilogy :Lady Vengeance is better than Old Boy but it's still a great film.

A good movie starring Kevin Costner?

Wow, is this 1990?

I love the moral of the story, 'say yes to things apart from the things you don't want to say yes to'. Inspired.

And the supporting actor is Dane Cook! This movie's awesomeness is a riddle wrapped in an enigma

I loved it as well.

lol yeah I was suprised as well.

You know what? even Kevin Bacon had a good movie recently....the one where he was like fighting for the revenge of his shot son.

This is possible the 90s all over again.

I didn't like it that much myself, maybe a 6/10...
