What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[carebear]

"SEVEN" Is on cable tonight. I really like this movie. I heard some talk a couple of years ago that connected "Seven" and "The Usual Suspects".
The conclusion was that Kaiser Sosay was the killer from "Seven"....

I'd like to read that, if only to disagree and demolish it.

Kaiser Sose was an avenging angel and a businessman, he'd never stoop to something as banal as serial murder.

The Golden Compass

I enjoyed Pullman's books and this first movie.

Received the "Black Book" from Netflix yesterday and watched that last evening. I really enjoyed it even though it was subtitled. I loved Ellis' red evening gown I watch movies for the clothing and props.

oh i just love black book, and I first was told I had to watch it because of the looks, I myself did'nt want to see another ww2 movie, but i loved this one.
my last movies where
wuthering heights
war and peace

That was just a frivolous comment I made and not based on anything in print. Sorry.
But both movies came out in '95 and since Kevin Spacey played an enigmatic character in both I did hear a comparison made that made me think.
At the end of "Usual Suspects" the Spacey character "Verbal" disappears into the city. Chaz P discovers nothing about "Verbal" is what he thought it was but its too late. I myself was led to believe Verbal was Sose(?).
"John Doe" appears out of nowhere in "Se7en" and through his crimes tries to teach "the wages of Sin" (especially the "7 Deadlies").
He is found to be wealthy and self sufficient, yet no clues to where he gets his means. He's never identified in the movie. He intends to die at the end without anyone ever knowing who he was.
What would Sose have to live for after "Suspects" ? He's rich but his family is gone. Its been awhile since I've seen "The Usual Suspects" but thats what I recall.
When I heard about it 10 years or so ago it was put out in the same vein as the coincidences you find when you play "Dark Side of the Moon" and watch "The Wizard of Oz". Not intended but kind of neat.
Sorry I ran so long, I wanted to clarify I wasn't stating a fact.
I guess I was spreading rumors....just meant for fun.

The last movie I watched was In the Valley of Elah on DVD.....boring !!!

 

[zaika]

Well I love Usual Suspects, it has been a favorite since it came out - but Soze is very different from John Doe, I also cannot see him turning into a serial killer.. Kevin Spacey is brilliant as Soze though, he is such a great actor.

"Attack of the Crab Monsters" an early Roger Corman film.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended as a comedy! Oh the joy of Netflix...

lol

Kung Fu Panda. I LOVED it and I'm usually a very big critic of animated films. But this one was extremely well done.

 

[JohnnyGringo]

Sex In The City-I liked the series better, but the movie had it's moments...

 

[Herr Hitman]

Bullets Over Ballots with Edward G. Robinson, Joan Blondell and Humphrey Bogart.

 

[vonwotan]

Our Man Flint and we discovered that it's time for a new copy of In Like Flint.

Next on the agenda is to find a copy of White Mischief. I have finally worked out how to hook up my comupter to the current TV so I can play non-US formats on the larger screen. However, the only copies I am finding have subtitles and one was dubbed. I am hoping to find a UK release in English. I had hoped the news of the murder being solved would have prompted a re-release and a US release.

Hatari!

Great movie, a lot of fun and some great adventurer clothes and gear. I particularly like the outfit John Wayne wears in the final scene of the movie, great jacket. It is a great example of the light hearted adventure movies they can't seem to make these days. No CGI, just good stunts and a decent storyline. Ever since I saw this as a kid I have wanted to go to Africa.

Me too. Took my three year old and we both had fun. Much better than our last trip to the movies (Speed Racer) where he had a blast and I was nauseous.

That VHS is waiting for me to pick up at my library. If you're interested I'll be glad to share it with you.

Ashely - Thank you!!! If only I still had my VCR. Unfortunately my old VCR went out with most of the contents of my storage locker in the last move. Eventually I should be able to locate one of the DVDs released in the UK.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

My pleasure, vonwotan. Do let me know if you buy a VCR at a yard sale and change your mind.
My mom and I saw White Mischief in New York City when it came out. Something reminded me of it last week so I put in a reserve for it at the library.
The last movie I watched was Fritz Lang's Secret Beyond the Door, again. Loved it.
Ashley

 

[vonwotan]

Ashley - Thanks again. Will do. Did you see it at the theater below the Plaza? I saw it the weekend it was released in that theater with my mother as well...
Cheers.

Since You Went Away. I've seen it many times but there's still portions of that film that make me choke up. Great cinematography and Joseph Cotten is dishy as all get out.
