What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[wahine]

Thin man movies are fun! One thing that always comes to mind when I think of those flicks is that...nearly every scene with Nick and Nora...they always have a drink in their hand. Lol!

As someone once said, Oh I miss those times when alcoholism was a normal part of entertainment. (I think it might have been Jerry Stiller in KOQ when watching a Rat Pack show.)

Last night, I watched Imitation of Life, the remake of 1959. I haven't seen the original yet, but they say the remake is better.
That sort of fits into the "accent thread", too. The 'accent' Juanita Moore has (and Susan Kohner in one mock scene) can't be translated. So, in the German version, they all speak the same way, as usual. That's why I watched it in English.

Speaking of the Rat Pack; Ocean's Twelve and Thirteen (the rat Pack version) will be airing soon. I've got the DVR set to record them!

Gotta luv Dean Martin! =)

Tonight I shall be watching The Shining.
No one does crazy like Jack Nicholson :eeek:

We're No Angels - with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray

Currently watching Fast Times At Ridgemont High. I hate that the broadcast TV version is filled with tons of deleted scenes, which were deleted for a reason.

The Help.

This will win some Oscars, for sure. :eusa_clap

We're No Angels - with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray

One of my favourites! I've been waiting for this one to be shown on TCM for ages...still waiting.

I watched Robert Redford's, "The Conspirators," based on the Lincoln assassination. Robin Wright was superb as Mary Surratt.....ditto James McAvoy as her lawyer, Frederick Aiken and Kevin Klein as Edwin Stanton.
Costuming, hairstyles, dialect....all were first rate. Filmed in Savannah-----wonderful backdrop.

U-571---complete tripe. The last five seconds was the most historically accurate ----mentioning U-110, 505 and 559.

 

[Effingham]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Heck of a title. Heck of a flick.

The Assassination of Jesse James had such a great sense of tension through the entire movie...great film.

I just watched The King's Speech for the first time. Ah! That's why Colin Firth won the award for best actor. That was one well-deserved award. Quite the film.

Agreed! Amazing performance.

Limitless with Bradley Cooper. Intriguing concept, but I admit, I didn't like it...the main character simply got away with too much.

 

[Doctor Strange]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Heck of a title. Heck of a flick.

I read somewhere that Brad Pitt only agreed to star if the entire (admittedly awkward) title was retained.

It's a great film, and a VERY interesting meditation on fame and legend. Great work by an outstanding cast. And it's gorgeous - Roger Deakins' cinematography is beyond awesome. My only complaint is that it's a little too long: Jesse is offscreen for nearly the entire second act, and it drags. But the film's final third (especially the amazing last 15 minutes) makes up for it.

The boys picked Machine Girl for our movie this weekend. Ugh. Japanese grindhouse. Very very gory and none of it made sense (not because of the language barrier ... it was just nonsensical). They loved it, however.

 

[Feraud]

I saw Machine Girl a while back. Some folks call it a "must see" but it was so bad!

Hold that Ghost
My son likes the "little man."

The Peter Jackson King Kong. Haven't seen it for a couple of years. Great fun. Some gripping Jackson visuals that are sort of gripping visuals that don't necessarily advance the plot, i.e., the feral boy with the extended arm but not a pointing hand, and where did the impressive waterfalls of fire come from, and what's with the pupil-less completely white eyeballs of the twitching locals as Kong is summoned? The Kong vs. three dinos battle is spectacular.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Witchfinder General with Vincent Price.
It's okay but not one of his best...
Stuck in a contract with AIP, he had to endure stinkers.
This is by far not that bad, but I'm sure he didn't win an award for it either.

Tucker and Dale VS Evil

I rented it from iTunes. It's going to be in theaters next month. Very funny. A lot of in jokes for people who like horror movies.
