What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

3 on the bounce.
Quantum of Solace:-
Good story totally destroyed by the awful fast action CGI. The scene with Bond jumping out of the DC3 totally unbelievable(as in unrealistic)

Snakes on a Plane.
Totally nutty film, great story but again spoilt by dodgy CGI special effects. Sure they could have used real snakes.

The War Wagon.
One of the most enjoyable John Wayne yarns ever. Kirk wasn't bad either.

Another Thin Man, for movie night get-together. We all agreed this would be last one in the series we would watch, as the general consensus is that the quality drops off after this one. Still a good entry in the series, with snappy chat, a complicated whodunnit, and a bit part with Shemp Howard(!).

Ant-Man... A lower-wattage Marvel film. Good performances from a great cast, good effects, a pleasant enough diversion... but I didn't respond to it with the level of interest and enthusiasm that I have for most Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

"The Scorch Trials" - Only thing scorched was my wallet to the tune of a $5.99 rental fee. Liked the first one... hated this one.... badly.

Simply... one of greatest Sci-Fi films ever made. From the opening use of color for the title to the last frame... Outstanding!

I went into Ant-Man with no expectations, so was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it a lot.

Currently watching Now, Voyager. I've never watched the whole thing before - enjoying it immensely!

Star Trek Into The Darkness. How many more innocent unnamed crewmen must die before the madness stops?

We may find out in Star Trek Beyond, currently scheduled for a July release.

The Wolf Man (1941). Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) get bitten by a werewolf, and has to listen to everyone in town recite the poem, "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." Co-starring Evelyn Ankers, Claude Rains, Bela Lugosi, Ralph Bellamy, Warren William, Patric Knowles, and Maria Ouspenskaya, this is one of the better offerings from Universal Studios' "classic horror" catalog.

I saw this for the first time (700 years ago when I was a teenager) and had heard about what a "great" movie it was and how it was "up there" with "Casablanca" but doesn't get the respect because it was in "Casablanca's" shadow. Hence, the first time I saw it, my expectation meter was set on super high (like Spinal Tap's eleven setting on its amp), so naturally, I was disappointed. But now, having seen it three or four times over the past several decades, I have come to appreciate it as a very good, albeit a bit odd, movie.

I have always been distracted by Bette Davis's preposterous false eyelashes in that picture. It's a very good thing it was too early for 3-D because it would've been terrifying to see those things come sweeping out of the screen.

I introduced Mad Max: Fury Road to my wife for our Friday movie night. We now need to see Road Warrior, and, yes, Thunderdome so she'll have seen them all.

In the early to mid '30s, she had a quirky cuteness, but by the '40s and beyond, her eyes had kind of overtaken her face and her appeal was more a force of personality than any classical sense of beauty. What really hurts her for me is that I see the early echoes of the Davis of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" in Davis' face in her earlier movies.

Hail, Caesar!
Not Miller's Crossing, but I have seen worse. Not that it was a bad film. I guess I hoped for more. There were some fine performances, but the story bounced around too much and spent way too little time on any one character.

I saw Hail, Caesar! today with a friend, and I have to agree. The Coen brothers seem to like complicated stories with any number of incidental characters, and surely a Hollywood "fixer" would have to divert his/her attention from one problem to the next at a moment's notice, but for this movie it didn't quite work. At the one hour mark I found my attention wandering when I realized I was paying more attention to the sets and wardrobe than the plot. I didn't dislike the movie and I'd like to see it again when it comes to cable/satellite TV, but I don't think it'll become one of my favorites.

Trying to get through, The History Channel mini series, War And Peace. Now I know why I never made it through the book! The colors are really intense, but, the English accents are grating.

LizzieMaine · Feb 16, 2016

We're showing "The Danish Girl" this week, and the conclusion of all of us on the staff is that this is the film in which Eddie Redmayne's reach has exceeded his grasp. None of us fully bought him in the role, and all of us found his constant eye-fluttering-shy-little-smile routine to be both unconvincing and irritating. There's the kernel of an excellent picture in this story, but this, unfortunately, was not it.

I felt the same way. And I really wanted to like this, too!
