Thread: What was the last film you watched?

This is Spinal Tap. Finally got around to watching this comedy classic, and I knew I'd love it because I love Best in Show. No Christopher Guest movie would be complete without a goofy, clueless Fred Willard character!

Looper (2012), sci-fi directed/written by Rian Johnson. A glimpse into decaying society and mob violence, in years 2072 to 2042. Unwanteds are whacked with time travel and "blunderbuss".

Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('Inception', 'Brick') is memorable as looper/hit man Joe. Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels aid with fine performances. A good film, with potential for a few Oscar noms.

I really need to see it, a sci-fi buff to boot; I thought Gordon-Hewitt was great in The Lookout.

Prometheus.

This is somewhat stupid. The premise doesn't make much sense, *SPOILERS* if we were created as a different species by some aliens, how come our DNA match with those of species that are related to us (e.g chimpanzees), shouldn't it be totally different than everything else on this planet?

When the biologist and geologist were left in the cave (how come they didn't find their way out but the others did? Couldn't they just ask the captain where should they go if they were lost?) and were attacked (obviously nobody was monitoring them, because who needs that when you leave two guys in an alien environment filled with corpses), how come they didn't check the video when they woke up and figured that they were missing? Shouldn't they be recording everything on the ship?

What was the point of poisoning Charlie? Was that just an act of curiosity?
How did the Captain knew the aliens were creating weapons there (I might have missed something?)? And the weapon they were creating was... other aliens that would infect all the humans? Isn't a bit too complicated for a technologically advanced species? Wouldn't some Quantum Bombs make it all easier?
Why did the last 2 women ran in a STRAIGHT LINE when the ship was falling on them? AH?!

Ok, but these things are silly. It seems that the situations that trigger most of the dying that take places in this movie are staged.

Overall, I was hoping for an epic journey, got a high budget Mission to Mars with angry aliens.

Il segno di Veneve (The sign of Venus), 1955, Starring Franca Valeri, Sophia Loren, Raf Vallone, Alberto Sordi and Vittorio De Sica (what a beautiful comany of great italian artists) directed by Dino Risi.

Marie Antoinette (2006), starring Kirsten Dunst, directed and written by Sofia Coppola. Mute and watch for costumes and art direction.

I laughed hard bravo Vaneyes.

Die Hard 5 trailer.

^ Yeah, I'm going to watch it, Taken 2 also.

Silent House--or rather the first 15-20 minutes, then I turned it off. The novelty here is it was filmed in one take. Perhaps a better script, plot, and acting would have been better than a gimmick. It was boring beyond belief.

Silent House was ok at best, usually only horror addicts like myself will sit all the way through a peice of cheese like that.
I think it was based on a foreign film?

Just watched Eroica. One of the best movies I have seen all year

This one CoAG? -

I guess it's one of those films that you can get only by legal means.

Watched 50/50.

I guess it was quite good. Levit is good as the leading actor, Seth Rogen as always is just being Seth Rogen with stupid profanity jokes and the rest of the cast was quite good as well. But it felt that it went through everything quite fast, without too much contemplation from the main character.

The Thing (2011)

Not as good as the 1982 version, but pretty entertaining nonetheless.
