What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

fucking awful, entirely predictable plot with unconvincing characters and a lame ending. i want those two hours of my life back.

It even looked awful, best thing about it is Scarlett.

Why did you bother watching it? Expecting the worst hoping for a plesant surprise?

woody allen is usually pretty solid, that's probably the worst of his i've seen

I thought it was pretty solid, but it was the movie that sort of shattered the glass house with Scarlett Johansson for me. First time I realized what a mediocre actress she was.

Oh and I just finished watching Funny people. I thought it was very good actually, pretty funny, very well written even if it is a bit on the long side (can't really fault it for that, I didn't think anything should have been taken out, it's just kind of a long time to be sitting in one place). The whole Apatow team is excellent, really, I don't know why I'm so apprehensive about his films, I liked every single one of them. One of these days I'm gonna have to give Freaks and geeks another chance...

I've ALMOST watched that movie about 50 times, but something always told me it wouldn't be worth my time. Thanks for the confirmation!

^ I watched Gran Tourino again tonight because you posted it in here, I wanted to know, did you cry at the end?

NSW · 01-03-2010, 08:44 PM

Nope, I didn't cry. That's not to say it wasn't moving, I just typically don't cry at too many movies. More than anything, the end, the very end when the lawyer is reading the will, made me smile. In alot of ways I thought it was TOO perfect of an ending, but still good.

Did you like the movie then?
