Rango
That was incredibly awesome. Best western I've seen in a while, and has instantly become one of my favourite animated films.
Yeah, same, if not my favourite.
The Ward
Disappointing, coming from Carpenter. OK-ish, I guess.
Saving Provate Ryan
I'm really annoyed to have missed the first 20/30 minutes, I'm told that they are incredibly realistic (trying to avoid spoilers, people who have seen it will know what I mean). I was almost yelling at the screen
when Upham is on the stairs quivering, and the backstabbing German was forcing a knife into of his teammate's chest - I forget his name. I was shouting, "Get up there and put a bullet in his head!" Let me tell you, that part was infuriating.
A really great film which lives up to its hype.
Definitely agree with you on that part, I was doing the same.
Moneyball
Good movie. Makes me wort of want to play baseball again.-LASF
Me too i saw it!
The Illusionist
Superb. I can't say enough praise about this movie. If you are an animator or just enjoy animation then you HAVE to watch this. Better than most animations I've seen, including Pixar's. I can't wait to see more of Tati's work in the future.
Finally saw the last swedish film of the Millenium-Trilogy based on the books of Stieg Larsson. Each of them a unbelievable good thriller. All in all over 6 hours worth watching. Highly recommended if you don't have a problem with graphic scenes, some explicit violence and twisted nordish storytelling. You can find all the good old thriller clichés like conspiracies and Nazi collaborationists in them, they even have an evil german giant called Ronald Niedermann 
The Mummy (1932)
Liked it more the second time around, though I still thought that the bad guy was too sympathetic and that the good guys weren't sympathetic at all. Karloff is good in this, though, and the first scene is awesome.
Secondhand Lions
Great film, absolutely loved it!
I don't think it was supposed to be a comedy, but there were several funny parts that were actually very funny.
10/10
The Last Man Standing
Walter Hill (The Warriors) takes a stab at the oft-told Yojimbo story. Bruce Willis stars as John Smith, a gun-toting drifter in Prohibition-era Texas who plays two bootlegger gangs against one another.
Critics at the time (Roger Ebert in particular) lambasted the film for its bleak nature; this is sort of dumb, because that's the film's intention, and at that, it succeeds quite well. Bruce Willis gets some dour but cool noir-style narration (the best of which starts the film off), Christopher Walken gets to growl, talk about killing orphans, and shoot people up, and David Patrick Kelley ('Warriors ... come out to plaaay!') gets to blow his top and scream a lot.
The film overall is pretty slick and straightforward, almost too much so. It's an exercise in style that sometimes works, and sometimes feels just plain weird when the 20s-30s-style gangster parts collide with the Western tone. Frankly, I might have liked it better if I hadn't already seen this story done as a straight-up Western. Sure, there was a Western tone to Yojimbo, but this film seemed to go overboard.
Also, some of the moments from other versions of the story were somewhat killed here. When the protagonist views the fiery carnage, for instance, you don't get the sense of danger that one stray look from the killers, and he too could be killed; he is in a car, and can therefore flee the scene fairly easily.
Still, when you're up against the likes of Akira Kurusawa and Sergio Leone, it's hard to compete. It's a solid effort, and if it had just been a little longer and tried to create more of its own moments, it could've been great.
I do wonder, though, how many takes Walter Hill does. There were a couple of lines - and a really cheesy scream - that just didn't seem to fit.
Real Steel
Pretty meh, the only characters I enjoyed watching were the bad guys (Texas teeth guy, Mohawk dude and the cool Asian robot designer), and I !@#$%^ despised the Max kid. Legitimate hate. The robot boxing scenes were well-done, though, I'll give it that, but the rest of the film was pretty clichéd and predictable.

I absolutely love that movie... I need to watch it again sometime.
Fast Five
Speachless... Honestly, I was just expecting some idiots with bad grammar to be revving engines and talking trash to a guy twice their size... But THAT. THAT was an amazing movie. It was more of a heist movie than the others where, and I absolutely loved it. I know think I shoudl go watch the rest of them. 9/10!
P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!!
Apache Blood
Terrible. Got through about ten minutes before turning the DVD off. The only reason that I would have for watching it would be so I could legitimately claim that it's the worst film I'd ever seen.
Rooster Cogburn (...and the Lady)
I love westerns and this truly is one of the best of all time.
The Lion King (3D)
I loved the movie, but it just didn't feel 3d. There's a good reason for that: It wasn't made to be 3d. But still, I love this movie. I had totally forgot what happened during the last time I watched this film (At least 7 years), and it blew me away (story wise)
I N C E P T I O N
The best movie of all time.
K, this is called the "What was the last movie you watched?" not the "What movie are you watching right now?" thread. The least you could do is say something about the movie like 'good' or 'bad.' Saying your watching the credits as you speak is nothing...
Evidently, him. I just saw Titanic, the major bit that bugged me was the soundtrack, it seemed odd and silly at parts.
But it was good film, I'll grant it that.
Dude, who cares?
Dude, I care. kthanks.
