Review The Last Film You Saw ~ Thread 3

i just read an article with Rachel Weisz from "The Mummy" and she said she didn't do the newest film b/c she was already making one that was filming somewhere far. she said that after she filmed the one movie she would have to go right to China and she just couldn't do it b/c of her baby. she said she really wanted to do the new Mummy but there was no way she could with a little baby. this article was in the British version of OK! magazine with Cheryl Tweedy on the cover.

i just watched "Amelie" the other night. this movie was soo adorable i loved it. you can definitely tell that this is where Brian Singer got his idea for "Pushing Daisies". i watched the movie with the subtitles but i understood some French here and there which i was so happy haha. (i took French for 2 years in high school and college).

 

i watched hell boy 2 last night. never saw the first one, but it was cheap night at the theater and it was the best option. we were all pleasantly surprised! the action was good, it was actually pretty funny, and there was a little romance thrown in there. something for everyone. i probably liked it better paying 3 dollars to see it here than if i had paid 11 back home.

i had wanted to see it before, because i liked the look of all the creatures in the commercials. so for someone who was only going for the costumes and makeup i was quite entertained and happy we went.

 

"Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

big Indiana Jones fan by the way lol. "Raiders" is my all time fave movie, i actually watched it twice this week. "Crystal Skull" is awesome i enjoyed it, i saw it in the movies two times the first time was the midnight showing.

my roommate downloaded "Mamma Mia!" last week and we watched that the other night. we were dancing around like a bunch of idiots but we had so much fun. i cannot wait for this movie to come out on DVD.

 

Me too!!! I so loved Mamma Mia It rocked, and it was one of the greatest times I've had in the theater.

*eta: I watched "The Bucket List". It was nice, but I thought I'd cry more No, srsly, it was really cute and I like the thought that those two guys finally did things they wanted to do their whole life.

 

Please post at least 3 lines in this thread, thanks. Otherwise it'll get spammy.

 

corpsewillows i had a great time seeing "Mamma Mia!" in the movies too. i saw the show on Broadway twice that was fantastic and the movie 3 times. at the end of the movie when Meryl Streep goes "you wanna hear another one", the 2nd time i saw the movie i was with my friend and i yelled out "woooo hooo!!!!" haha.

i just watched "Charade" with Audrey Hephburn and Cary Grant. good movie, a little comfusing but interesting.

 

amen , Mamma Mia! was fantastic in theatres. everybody gave such a great performance.

so last night a saw SAW V and it was AH-MAZING . i love that series to begin with, but this one was just wonderful.
in my opinion Tobin Bell is the best actor to play Jigsaw , and he didn't disappoint. although i admit the series is very confusing to follow, i had to go back and watch it several times , especially SAW IV. the ending on that one could make another 2 hour movie it answered alot of questions but it didn't really have an ending considering the slogan for 5 is "you won't believe how it ends ! "

but i was ecstatic x 100 + 3 when i found out that there will be a SAW VI, expected out in 2009 ! :thumbsup:

 

The last movie I saw was Halloween and it's a brilliant movie. Claustrophobic lighting and music. Whilst surprisingly the music's also funky. Also Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis and whoever played Michael Myers done fantastic in their performance. Also it's great that it's low on sex, drugs, violence, other. Seriously also in all matter of sense P.J.Soles character was kinda annoying always saying totally. All in all I give it 10 Captain Kirk masks out of 10.

 

That is a classic for sure! I have to say that the original Halloween, The Exorcist, the original Amityville Horror and Evil Dead are probably the only 4 movies that have ever really scared me. It's hard to make a decent scary flick these days- they tend to rely more on gore then genuine jump in your seat scares, or stuff that makes you stay a bit scared for a while after the movie- for about 2 weeks after I saw The Exorcist, I was afraid that when I woke up in the morning, I'd be possessed! :lol: I mean, I was still a kid when I first saw it, but it still gives me the chills.

 

"Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story". i freakin love this movie!!! the unrated extended version is the best. i've seen this movie so many times but i just made my roommate watch it. if anyone is a fan of Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly) from The Office i definately suggest seeing this movie she was fantastic in it and you will never look at Pam the same way again lol.

"Wet Hot American Summer". anyone ever seen this movie? some have some haven't. it's one of those movie with everyone and their mother in it. people in movie: Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Meloni, David Hyde Pierce, Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, and Molly Shannon were all in it along with a lot of other people. it's such a messed up funny movie, i love it.

 

Silent Hill
I'd never seen it before and was curious. It kinda disappointed me though. I thought it would be scarier. Maybe it was because it was pretty late when we watched it, but I couldn't really follow the storyline, if it even had one. Then in the end my friend asked "Do you know how they got to Silent Hill?" and I was like "Huh? No idea..." and then she had to explain it to me Sometimes I am just retarded

Feast
Such a weird, over the top movie :lol: It's not scary either but kinda funny and has some great lines in it!

The Grudge
I can't help it, but that film is darn scary...at least to me it is. That little boy gives me the creeps, not to speak of the girl/woman. That weird sound (not sure where it comes from...) gives me goosebumps!

We had a very nice DVD-Halloween night

 

I finally was able to make time to watch The Mummy 3. It was actually nothing spectacular, nothing great like the first two installments. I loved the first two in the trilogy, so this last one was a great letdown, I must say. They shouldn't have made this movie if Rachel Weisz wasn't going to reprise her role as Evie. The only bright spot was John Hannah who played Jonathan in all three films.

 

Ten Inch Hero

Such an amazing film. It's a romantic comedy, but it breaks away from the basic recipe and added its own ingredients. It's funny, goes beyond what a general 'chick flick' would, and was just great. The acting was great, the writing was great. Amazing.
