Review the last movie you saw thread

[Spiff]

Eyes Wide Shut was such an underrated film. I don't know why it is so disliked.

I'm a big fan of Mr Brooks. Great fillum.

Recently I caught Apocalypto, Downfall and Iron Man at various times as was mightily impressed by them all. Downfall was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have watched fuck all films in the last 9 months, but hopefully my new lounge and tv shall change that.

One of the only things I have watched in recent times is Gran Torino, which was good. What a brutal character.

I went and saw Planet 51 today. Good fun, it was.

 

[Spiff]

I'm going to try and watch at least 365 films in 2010. I don't know how successful I'll be, but I have 700 odd films in my DVD collection so it's not like I'll run out of things to watch. We shall see.

Buy the "1001 Films You Must See Before You Die" book and jot down the ones you haven't seen that interest you. Should get you going with ideas of things to mix it up with.

 

[Winmar]

I've got one of those. Gives me ideas for using up my download allowance.

Are there any Kubrick box sets around?

 

[Spiff]

There's this one:

2001
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut

A shame people seem to think Kubrick did nothing of note before 2001 - what about Paths of Glory (my favourite film), Spartacus and Dr Strangelove?

 

[Priest of Evil]

Drag me to hell
I Sell the Dead
both oldschool from start to finish, credits included, a pleasure to watch!

 

[Winmar]

Thanks Spiffo, I'll have to get hold of that when I'm back home.

There's a few of his films I still haven't seen, including Paths of Glory and Dr Strangelove. Must rectify that. What's Paths of Glory about again?

 

[Spiff]

Kirk Douglas plays a colonel in the French army in WWI who defends three soldiers accused of cowardice.

 

[phlogiston]

Saw Avatar 3d yesterday. Top stuff that film, even just from a visual perspective.

 

[Southy]

saw Planet 51 this morn, indeed good fun

 

[Winmar]

Last film I saw was Nine. Wish I'd known it was a musical, for I think musicals suck balls.

Before that I saw a film from China or somewhere called Forbidden Party. Not the nicest film. It was about a party where people ended up watching people be killed. I can't find anything about it online though.

And before that I saw Avatar 3D. I thought the visuals were excellent, but the story predictably predictable. As if he wasn't going to end up boning that chick.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Avatar 3D was amazing even despite the cliches and all that. Loved it.

 

[Winmar]

I saw The Box the other night. I liked it for a while, but it got a bit silly later. I was thinking it looked like a Kubrick film, and even copied his liking for corridor shots, so I did a web search later and found that heaps of people called it a Kubrick knock off. Maybe I'm more perceptive than I thought.

I was in the room while Twilight was on last week. What a pile of arse.

 

[Stonewall]

Avatar was somewhat subversive for such a mainstream film. Great visuals, not only were the effects cool, but the colours were pretty too.

 

[Goreripper]

Haha. "Somewhat" is somewhat of an understatement considering it's a Cameron film.

 

[Spiff]

I managed to watch 31 films in the first 31 days of the year, as I was planning. It's not all films I haven't seen before - I'd say two or three are repeat viewings. I don't get much time to watch films during the week so everything is on the weekends.

I like movies.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I would do that with albums easily.
