What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Miss Golightly]

Wedding Crashers - I didn't care for this at all - it was quite crass and not that funny - plus I loathe Vince Vaughn.

 

[Nathan Dodge]

Amélie (2001)

I enjoyed this quite a bit, though the second half could've used some tightening up. Otherwise, great cinematography, camerwork, music score, and cast with Audrey Tautou as charismatic as any performer I've seen.

 

[Dennis Young]

I saw Donnie Brasco recently. Also Public Enemies 2009. I dont agree with some of the things Johnny Depp has said, but imo, he's one of the finest actors today. Really loved both of those films.

(Also I'm a huge Pacino fan).

Journey to the Center of the Earth with Brendan Frasier. Fun family flick.

 

[fortworthgal]

Not sure this counts as a true movie, but The 1940s House on DVD.

Hit the Ice

 

[Gregg Axley]

Donnie Brasco is a great film. Pacino and Depp do an awesome job in their roles.

plus I loathe Vince Vaughn.

Really? Have you ever seen him in Swingers?

 

[Widebrim]

Sense and Sensibility (1995 version) with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. Excellent, if slightly different adaptation, and the wedding scene at the end brought more than a smile to my face.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Cage of Evil (1960). Not a bad film, flowed well.
Now my wife and I are rewatching Burnt Offerings with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, and Bettye Davis. (1976)

Really? Have you ever seen him in Swingers?

I think I saw some of it a few months back - I just don't think he's a good actor - he's quite one dimensional - I'm amazed he's as successful as he is.

Same here, how he, Will Ferrell and Seth Rogan are considered funny leaves me baffled...

 

[Gregg Axley]

Ferrell is more along the lines of goofy grade school/high school humor.
I saw him in a new Beastie Boys video.
It's funny the first time, but after that he's not so funny.

Wonderful movie

I don't think he's an Oscar winner, by any means, so you're not hurting my feeling or anything

I liked him in Swingers, but I just liked that movie anyway. It was so money

 

[Doctor Strange]

Sense and Sensibility (1995 version) with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. Excellent, if slightly different adaptation, and the wedding scene at the end brought more than a smile to my face.

By far my favorite Jane Austen adaptation. A feast of great acting all around, splendid sensitive direction by Ang Lee, and an outstanding script... Emma Thompson wrote it, and won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

I defy anybody to not gasp in sympathy during the penultimate scene, when Hugh Grant reveals that it's his brother and not him who got married, and Thompson trys - and fails - to muffle her tears of astonishment/relief. Wonderfully staged and played!

I must admit that the scene you mentioned got to me; so well done. The 1981 BBC version has the whole family, Elinor included, burst out laughing when the revelation is made; quite foolish.

 

[Edward]

Over the past couple of days I have seen:

Conan - actually quite good, rather than amusingly rubbish as I had expected.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - superb stuff.

 

[Dennis Young]

12 Monkeys. Bruce Willis. Good flick, but weird.

 

[jamespowers]

Abbott and Costello with the Keystone Cops.
