What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Pompidou]

I bought The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Maltese Falcon today on iTunes, and I deleted the two movies that were there prior. I like to think these two movies represent the best of what Hollywood can do. On one hand, you've got The Adventures of Robin Hood. Is there a more colorful, unpretentious and fun adventure romp put on film? If you're going to make a film about merry men in tights, you can't go half-assed. I watched Robin Hood this evening. It's my favorite telling of the story. Heroes don't have to be complicated, and sometimes good and evil can be simple.

I'll watch The Maltese Falcon tomorrow. It's probably opposite Robin Hood in every aspect except quality. Both got 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. I like film noir as much as I like adventure. One is bright, colorful, frugal on dialogues and generous on action, and the other is dark, black and white, generous on the dialogue and frugal on action. Should be a good contrast.

I just finished Charlie Chan goes to London and now I'm starting The Children of Huang Shi.

It surprised me, too.

Youth in Revolt, on the other hand, has a few chuckles, but is mostly just boring.

Well, it is Michael Cera...he's good, but there's only so much he can do when he's got that super-wimpy voice and he's always being typecast as a nerd/geek/social outcast.

I did not think I would enjoy that movie, and was dragged along by my father and brother, and I loved it. When the credits rolled, I thanked my dad for taking me against my will lol.

I take it you guys aren't talking about the Goodies episode?

"Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch". Hadn't seen them for ages and watched them with my wife. Enormous fun!

 

[The-Blue-Star]

Citizen Kane and Heavenly Creatures. Both magnificent films and both featuring Orson Welles in one way or another. He is, in my opinion, the best director ever to have lived.

 

[Miss Moonlight]

Ball of Fire w/Barbara Stanwyck... third time this month.

Last night I watched 'The Last Station', about Tolstoy. I felt very sorry for the poor old Countess. Every time I looked at James McAvoy I could only see Mr Tumnus.

Last 5 DVDs I've watched:

Walk The Line

Kind of a weird mix.

Guy Ritchie is a very entertaining director. I love those movies!

I recently watched The Rocketeer again, as I am so excited for Joe Johnston to be bringing us Captain America. I hope its as good as The Rocketeer, because this film is on of my favorites.

Edward G Robinson in "Little Caesar". Every gangster flick of any note after this borrowed from it!

Piranhas 3D

As a fan of the creature feature - I loved it. The Richard Dreyfus cameo was excellent.

 

[Mr Vim]

I have been hearing the film is good, despite itself... Rotten Tomatoes scored it at 80 percent, I was shocked.

 

[Rats Riley]

Public Enemy for the first time.

Ironically I thought I had seen it before, but the only part I seemed to remember is the grapefruit scene.

Then I stayed up late and watched The Painted Veil
