The last film you´ve seen and your thoughts about it

Have anybody else seen Southland Tales?

Yeah. I did. I went back to see it three times, trying to clear up a number of plot issues and small details. For a short while, I think I actually had a good grasp on it. But now, a year and a half later, I've forgotten a lot.

Cool movie though.

I saw 10,000 BC the other day and I must say it was a very good movie. I especially enjoyed the dialogue - not the norm for previous movies made along those lines. Back in the "hey day" of caveman style movies they would simply grunt and groan and mumble unitelligible words. This movie had the actors actually speaking languages.

Next movies on our list is Indiana Jones and Prince Caspian (I'm a big fan of Chronicles, especially the book).

You won't be Disappointed with Jones, that's for sure... I don't know much about the Chronicles, I know my wife and son both liked the first one...

I've been meaning to see 10,000 B.C. and now that you've given it praise, I'll bump it up my list a bit...

Southland Tales is one of my new favorites! It's awesome! Check out this clip.

There are so many weird things in that film, it's absolutely fascinating. What are those tiny coloured orbs about, for one thing... Also, how many B-movie actors does the film actually have?

And still it manages to come out on top. Fascinating.

I saw Hancock today. It's the new Will Smith movie in which he plays a drunk, homeless, reluctant super-hero. An interesting new twist on the super-hero genre.

It also has some interesting twists in the plot. I must say, I didn't see it coming.

That last sentence there Doc, that's the only thing you need to say to make me go see a film I'm sold!

By the way, anybody looking forward to Public Enemies? Michael Mann's new film, about Dillinger I believe. With Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the guy who went after him.

Based on the book by the same name.

Oh yeah. Until now i only catched tiny parts of info on it ,but i mean seriously ,the combination Michael Mann / Christian Bale ( who I see as the best hollywood actor of his generation)/ Johnny Depp pretty much speaks for itself. Too bad we´ll have to wait until 2009, but it should be worth waiting for that one.

I went and saw it as well... The Plot Twist that they don't even let on about in the Previews was Excellent... I sensed it coming with the Facial Expressions and body language just before you actually see the truth, but it was still an awesome movie...
Going to be one of those Hate It or Love It kind of Movies for most people...

The wife and I just watched The Bucket List and we really enjoyed every minute of it. Course, at our age we were able to relate to much of what transpired, but it still warmed our hearts, made us laugh, made us cry. Nicholson and Freeman were absolutely superb.

To the best of my knowledge, it's the first Pixar movie that features live actors. But this is with a slight qualification, because the live actors are not 'live' characters in the movie. They always appear as recorded images on a TV screen. Anyway, Rated G. Take the whole family!

I saw this today, and it was exactly as good as everyone's been saying. I'm even hearing rumors that it could be nominated for best picture. I wish it would.

I had to applaud when WALL-E powered up.

I saw the Bucket List recently as well... I agree Jim, very good Movie...

Saw Stargate earlier today while doing some work... Good Movie, I've always liked Kurt Russell...
