Thread: last movie you saw - and what did you think of it?

Burlesque- I thought it was pretty good. Christina Aguilara is a really good singer/dancer.

The last movie I saw was Inception, believe it or not. It was pretty good, though I can't understand why the dreamers' dream control was so pathetic.

There dream control was so bad because if they changed to many things, the projections would attack the dreamer.

I watched Let Me In last night. I thought it was really good!

Don't automatically hate me when I say this but...
I went to see the Justin Bieber movie.
I'm not a fan of his but I thought it would be interesting to see what got him so famous. I thought it was actually pretty good, and kind of scary seeing how obsessive some of his fans are!(like one girl who climbed on the stage and ran toward him.. and the countless other girls who stand in the crowd and cry at the sight of him...)
I think the reason that half the people hate him is because the people who like him are so obsessive that they can't shut up about him so it annoys everyone else. But I think he's a good kid, talented too. for now anyway..

Drive Angry

The Good- It was the best full length 3d movie I've seen to date
The bad- It's the only full length 3d movie I've seen.
The ugly- The entire plot.

Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone except for that niche type of guy/girl who has to see every single action movie ever made. I'll admit, there are some memorable scenes in it...like a few in particular, but it's not worth watching it more than once, or paying to watch it. If you want to go see an over the top action movie that was made around now-ish, go see machete.

EDIT:

I also saw "The Other Guys". That movie was pretty good. Very funny.....it's a shame that I almost forgot even watching that movie because drive angry temporally erased that moment of awesomeness I had.

He has talent, but he allowed himself to be mass-marketed by the music industry in turn for fame, and he acts like his music is soulful and has a message. Half of his lyrics are crap... Sorry.

I saw Due Date... From what I was expecting, it wasn't really that good.

oh god you gave him your movie ticket money >__>

jk. i respect you for deciding to see something most people (and you yourself) don't like. even though i don't like the fact that the movie ticket probably contributed a little bit more to further propagation of his shite music, i do respect your objectivity in the whole thing and if you liked it, fair enough

I watched Food Inc. last night. It was really good, makes me hate America though. One thing I thought was interesting though is how Vegans all flock to soy products because the meat industry is so corrupt. But Monsanto, a company responsible for 90% of the world's genetically modified seeds, is equally corrupt. There was a farmer who refused to used Monsanto's genetically modified seeds, but his neighboring farmers did. Their crops started spreading onto his land and so Monsanto sued him for all he was worth for trying to get around patent licenses. The entire system is fucked...

Phoebe in Wonderland

Originally watched it because of Elle Fanning...
But turned out that it was a really good movie. I really felt like it has changed me somehow. Now I'm having this really restless feeling... It was wonderful and quite emotional. And then there's Elle Fanning :3

Finally saw Milk, and holy jeez.

Just.. just amazing, what a story. Loved that they included so much footage from the actual events, really put me in that time, and Sean Penn pulled off the intimate scenes so naturally.

Black Mask with Jet Li, Really enjoyed it.

I just watched "Unthinkable". It was the best freagin movie I've seen in a very long time.

Eraserhead. Disturbing and cryptic--in other words, David Lynch.

I just watched "Oxford Murders". It was a good movie but hard to follow at times and the ended confused the crap out of me.
Boy 'you had to wait for the perfect moment to inject the patient'
Man '....... do you think I'm the killer?'
Boy 'No.'

What the heck? Didn't you just say he injected the patient?!
Sorry if that made no sense, but I don't want to spoil the movie in case others want to watch it lol

I finally saw The Human Centipede last night. It was quite entertaining. Completely awful movie, no story, no likable characters(every single person in the movie was absolutely retarded), awful acting, awful in every way. I was really disappointed in the lack of gore there was nothing in it that made me cringe. But still amusing none the less. My friend and I got many many laughs out of it.

Just saw an indie film called Anitchrist.

Probably the most disturbing movie I have ever seen, and I like to think that's saying a lot. But it was a brilliant film with amazing cinematography and acting, I highly recommend it.

It's not for everyone though, the torture scenes are pretty messed.

I'm this, but replace action movie with "Nicolas Cage movie."

hahhaa, LikesToTrip. I've thought about watching that movie SO many times, but the reviews always scared me away.
Now I don't feel bad for not watching it

Im not sure if it was The Ring, or Face Off.

Ring was pretty good, although not so scary as I thought it would be when I watched it alone in the dark.
Face Off was pretty much an average action movie, but It had the fun "twist" because the guys were changing faces.

I love Eraserhead I forced my girlfriend to watch it the other day(she didnt like it). Im not a big David Lynch fan he is really hit and miss for me and he steals so much of his themes from other surreal filmmakers like Maya Deren and especially Ingmar Bergman.
You'd probably love Tetsuo the Iron man (the first one) and Brand Upon the Brain by Guy Maddin, there are very much in the vein of Eraserhead.

@Raphael
Antichrist is amazing! Was I the only one who thought the movie was an allegory for Adam and Eves fall from Eden? There are just some not so subtle references throughout the movie that made me wonder.

I have seen Tetsuo the Iron Man, and can definitely see the comparison, but hadn't thought of that movie in years I've seen 4 or 5 Lynch movies, and the only one I would want to watch again is Mulholland Drive, which was pretty damned sweet.

Tried to watch Inception again (saw it once in the theater), but didn't get far before half a dozen other things suddenly looked more interesting. Did watch District 9 again, though, and found I liked it a bit more the second time.

Yeah I'm sure it's full of Christian undertones.

So I watched Casino last night. It's basically Goodfellas but set in Las Vegas, and I thought it was a little better.

Recently watched Inception again, pretty cool because I got more details then before.
The latest film that was new to me was Robin Hood, not really what I expected but it was pretty cool
