Review the last movie you saw thread

I watched 'I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE' on Foxtel.
Written and directed and starring Chris Rock.

I had no intention of watching it but happened to flick past it as it started and ended up sitting through it.

It was pretty good and funny... Kinda like the old school Eddie Murphy movies like Boomerang.

About a married man who is kinda over his married life and is tempted by an old friends ex girl who shows up after 10 years looking smoking hot.
 
Bee Movie..

Was very good actually.
I got a bit sick of all the 3d animation movies but this one maintained the laughs all the way through and had a decent story.
The humour is VERY Seinfeld-esque...... I can almost see him doing some of the dialogue with Elaine, Kramer and George....
 
watched The Last Legion on foxtel on the weekend.

basically is a retelling of the Excalibur myth, saying that it was first the sword of Julius Caeser made for him by Merlin in Britania and then later found by the last Ceaser (a child) after the Goths invade Roman and he is forced to flee to Britania to find the 7th Legion who guard Hadrian's Wall with the last loyal soldiers that he has and his "mysterious teacher".

is a pretty basic mid budget historical action film with lots of fight scenes, bad camera and editing and a very basic plot and structure.
has some amusing bits and a pretty great cast of Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley and Christopher Eckleston as one of the Goth bad guys.

pretty much a rainy sunday film.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Timeless classic. It's one of the rare instances of a feature film taking canon-breaking liberties with the plot and still managing to be just as awesome. I need to find a copy of the second movie to re-live now and finally track down the third movie which I never got around to seeing.

It makes the recent movies stand out even more as the steaming heaps of heathen shit that they are.

actually, the TMNT live action was very close to the original comics but for those of us who grew up on the cartoon it did seem so radicially different.

and expect to see a lot of Turtles stuff out his year because they are celebrating 25 years since the release of the original comic series. :headbang:
 
I watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer the other night. Interesting film. Very good idea for a film, actually. I can't believe it was made with a budget of $110,000. I read a few reviews of it in IMDB afterwards, and a couple of people said it was so disturbing they wished they hadn't seen it. It was disturbing, but I'm glad I saw it.
 
North By Northwest is awesome. You hear a lot about the scene with the cropduster but hardly ever about the part leading up to it, where Cary Grant shows up for his meeting on the empty road. The tension... damn, man.

Yes that part is just copy-book Hitchcock. If you'd never seen the film before, you simply wouldn't know what was going to happen. I must say though, there's some huge holes in the script in that film. When Thornhill takes the police back to the Townsend estate, why wouldn't the local police not know that the people who are there are neither his wife nor his employees?
 
I love that movie. And poo poo to anyone who complains about the ending.

I may have said this before, but it's the most faithful adaptation of a novel I've ever seen.
