What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Guybrush · 02-11-2011, 08:13 PM

^I remember watching Wedlock years ago .. Or that is, I remember that we rented it and put it on, but I don't remember much of the movie. They were trying to escape from a prison and that's about it. I guess it must be completely forgettable.

For those who like entertaining crap and Rutger Hauer, I can recommend Split Second. It's a film set in a dark future (well, 2008 actually) where Rutger Hauer plays the ultimate Bad Cop who runs on a constant supply of coffee, sugar and a bad temper. In addition to harassing his partner and dropping silly one-liners, he's also trying to hunt down a monster/serial killer.

It's completely ridiculous and over the top, but Hauer fits the role perfectly and I had a lot of fun watching it .. twice

As for me recently:

I vaguely remembered this being OK when I saw it years ago but it is actually pretty crap. Prisoners are controlled by explosive collars linked to another (unknown to them) prisoner which is a half decent concept but it fails miserably on closer inspection

I guess nostalgia is not always a good thing. Although Mimi Rogers tight trousers did distract me now and again.

One I did see recently that was to my liking was this. Maybe you'd find it interesting if you havent aready seen it. Matt Damon playing the genuis role again. Not as good as Good Will Hunting but watchable and worth rewatching imo.

I think I do have this somewhere! Hauer has carved out a niche in B movies with some decent roles along the way.

Still waiting for this to come out. Apologies I have posted this before. NSFW.

An odd link to another film. Yes I have this film. John Malkovich is awesome. One of directors John Dahl's better efforts post film noir (Kill Me Again/Red Rock West/The Last Seduction).

Haha, wow. The dude's head getting pulled off was definitely a highlight.

The Battle Of Algiers
Pretty brilliant to be honest.My knowledge of non-Anglophone film is terrible, and this was a fantastic reconstruction of civil war that was far more balanced than any other film on terrorism I've ever seen.
