What Movie(s) Have You Recently Seen?

[Jawz II]

I'm certain I've seen movies dumber than Red Dawn.

no trust me, back when it came out it didnt seem as dumb, like i didnt remember it as being half as dumb as it actually was. go back and watch it, you will be amazed.

I recently watched it. It was pretty awesome.

Saw The Departed sunday night. It was brilliant. I never really understood the adjective "self-assured" when it came to movie making but I do now. The makers simply had faith in the writing and didn't add anything stupid or unnecessary. It kept picking up speed and building momentum that by the time the rollercoaster crashes into a wall at the end of the movie you are stunned. Excellent stuff, recommended for all.

I did watch that just a few years ago and while it was certainly quite dumb indeed, you underestimate the sheer depths of dumbness possible in a movie. For I assure you, there are far, far worse ones out there. A quick perusal of the movie review column at somethingawful should suffice to demonstrate this.

I saw I Am Sam, with Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer.

It wasnt a great movie, good actors couldnt save the thin storyline. only upside was i was reminded of how beautiful michelle pfeiffer is, i had almost forgotten that. 4/10

another movie i saw recently was Midnight Run from 1988 with Robert Deniro. Its a really great movie, recommended. 8/10

I saw Iraq For Sale last night. I recommend everyone on Earth watch this, in particular Americans. Especially anyone supporting the war.

You can attend a screening of the movie by going to this website:

I also saw The Last King of Scotland and The Queen, both last weekend. Both are very good movies.

Last night I saw Atomic Cafe in finnish television for the second time.

Plot Outline: Disturbing collection of 1960s United States government issued propaganda films designed to reassure Americans that the atomic bomb was not a threat to their safety.

Army information film: When not close enough to be killed, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights in the world.

Civil defense film: Be sure to include tranquilizers to ease the strain and monotony of life in a fallout shelter. A bottle of 100 should be sufficient for a family of four. Tranquilizers are not a narcotic, and are not habit-forming.

Classic stuff.

They are right, you know.

In one class I saw a WWII propaganda film about the Japanese-American internment camps. It wasn't what I was expecting. They weren't at all racist, and they did recognize the problem with detaining citizens of a democracy without charges. But they claimed that it was necessary for the war effort (a Japanese invasion of the mainland was a real fear), and even said that most of those detained accepted it as their patriotic duty. Which I doubt - but they didn't villify anyone.

 

[C~G]

They are right, you know.

Yes, of course.

That's the whole point of these films for me at least, about human psychology.
It shows exactly how reasonable things seem to be even though they are absolutely horrendorous.

I watched The Last Crusade yesterday.

Are you reffering to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade or smthing else ...

 

[Jawz II]

I saw Spartan yesterday, pretty good movie.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I saw Man of the Year in theatres Sunday evening. It was funny, although not as funny as I've come to expect from Robin Williams movies.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Anger Management is on TV right now

 

[Turner]

Anyone know the difference betweek the Director's cut and regular cut of Blade Runner? I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

Anyone know the difference betweek the Director's cut and regular cut of Blade Runner? I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

Director's cut doesn't have narration, has music from Vangelis (not sure did original have it?) and the ending is bit different with slight hint that Deckard doesn't acknowledge something.

I prefer the Director's cut of course.
One of my favourites.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I saw the first 2/3 of the Director's Cut, but none of the original - but I know the big twist anyways.

I also saw Hitch, last weekend - very cliched but somewhat entertaining.

 

[Turner]

Hitch was cute. I like the part when Al started dancing.

Wasn't impressed with Blade Runner. Very boring. I might try watching it again, and see if I can understand it better.

 

[Rossiya]

We are studying Blade Runner at school in Media Studies. It's very odd.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I watched The Cable Guy yesterday.
